Triple negative breast cancer subtypes and pathologic complete response rate to neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
2018
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a heterogeneous disease with distinct molecular subtypes that differentially respond to chemotherapy and targeted agents. The purpose of this study is to explore the clinical relevance of Lehmann TNBC subtypes by identifying any differences in response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy among them. We determined Lehmann subtypes by gene expression profiling in paraffined pre-treatment tumor biopsies from 125 TNBC patients treated with neoadjuvant anthracyclines and/or taxanes +/- carboplatin. We explored the clinicopathological characteristics of Lehmann subtypes and their association with the pathologic complete response (pCR) to different treatments. The g…

espanolObjeto: el objetivo del presente estudio es examinar la asociacion entre el tipo de admision hospitalaria, la supervivencia y las caracteristicas patologicas de una amplia poblacion de pacientes con cancer colorrectal. Metodos: realizamos un estudio en 1.079 pacientes diagnosticados en el Hospital Costa del Sol de Marbella con cancer colorrectal y evaluamos la relacion entre su tasa de supervivencia y la via por la que realizaron el primer contacto con el hospital (admision programada o de urgencias). Las variables incluidas en nuestro estudio fueron las siguientes: edad, genero, localizacion del tumor, estadio patologico, grado de diferenciacion, quimioterapia previa a la cirugia y …
Factors Associated with Prolonged Patient-Attributable Delay in the Diagnosis of Colorectal Cancer
2018
Purpose The delayed diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) may be attributable to sociodemographic characteristics, to aspects of tumour histopathology or to the functioning of the health system. We seek to determine which of these factors most influences prolonged patient-attributable delay (PPAD) in the diagnosis and treatment of CRC. Materials and methods A prospective, multicentre observational study was conducted in 22 Spanish hospitals. In total, 1,785 patients were recruited to the study between 2010 and 2012 and underwent elective or urgent surgery. PPAD is considered to occur when the time elapsed between a patient presenting the symptom and him/her seeking attention from the primary…
