Treatment of 11 patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia with interferon-alpha-2C and low-dose cytosine arabinoside
1993
Abstract Patients with Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and on interferon (IFN)-α-2c treatment for at least two months were entered in the present pilot study. IFN-α treatment was maintained identically and cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C) was added at monthly cycles of 10 mg/m 2 /day for ten days subcutaneously. In the case of a leukocyte nadir above 10 G/1, the Ara-C dose was increased to 20 mg/m 2 /day for 10 days per month. Ten of the eleven patients entered in this study were evaluable for toxicity and response. They received a total of 87 IFN-α/Ara-C cycles (3–14/patient). Five patients received 1–5 cycles with Ara-C dose intensification to 20 mg/m …
Prospective validation of a lymphocyte infiltration prognostic test in stage III colon cancer patients treated with adjuvant FOLFOX.
2017
IF 6.029; International audience; BackgroundThe prognostic value of lymphocyte infiltration (LI) of colorectal carcinoma (CC) has been demonstrated by several groups. However, no validated test is currently available for clinical practice. We previously described an automated and reproducible method for testing LI and aimed to validate it for clinical use.Patients and methodsAccording to National Institutes of Health criteria, we designed a prospective validation of this biomarker in patients included in the PETACC8 phase III study. Primary objective was to compare percentage of patients alive and without recurrence at 2 years in patients with high versus low LI (#NCT02364024). Associations…
