The Vegf Pathway in Patients with Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors: Efficacy of Everolimus by Baseline Marker Level, and Prognostic and Predictive Ef…

2012

ABSTRACT Background RADIANT-3 was a phase III study investigating the effect of the mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor everolimus on progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNET; Yao et al, NEJM, 2011). Everolimus significantly improved PFS compared with placebo (11 vs 4.6 months, P  Methods Baseline plasma levels of VEGF-A, PlGF, sVEGFR1, and sVEGFR2 were determined by ELISA using multiplexed MSD platform. The optimal cutoffs for these markers were explored using the “survival tree analysis” method. Interaction of treatment and baseline marker status ( Results PFS was significantly improved to a similar extent in patients receiving e…

Early outcomes and complications following cardiac surgery in patients testing positive for coronavirus disease 2019: An international cohort study

2021

The outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndromecoronavirus-2, the cause of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in December 2019 represented a global emergency accounting for more than 2.5 million deaths worldwide.1 It has had an unprecedented influence on cardiac surgery internationally, resulting in cautious delivery of surgery and restructuring of services.2 Understanding the influence of COVID-19 on patients after cardiac surgery is based on assumptions from other surgical specialties and single-center studies. The COVIDSurg Collaborative conducted a multicenter cohort study, including 1128 patients, across 235 hospitals, from 24 countries demonstrating perioperative COVID-19 infection…
