Multivariate independent prognostic factors in endometrial carcinoma: A clinicopathologic study in 181 patients
2003
The aim of this study was to evaluate the biologic outcome of endometrial carcinomas as compared to clinical and pathologic parameters and to identify multivariate independent prognostic factors. Charts were abstracted from patients with endometrial carcinoma from 1985 to 1995. Data on clinicopathologic variables, adjuvant treatment, site of recurrence, and survival were collected. χ2 test was used to test association between variables. Kaplan-Maier method was used for survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards model for multiple regression analysis. Univariate analysis revealed that FIGO stage, tumor grade, depth of myometrial invasion, biochemical analysis of progesterone receptor sta…
Analysis of KRAS/NRAS mutations in a phase III study of panitumumab with FOLFIRI compared with FOLFIRI alone as second-line treatment for metastatic …
2015
Abstract Purpose: We evaluated the influence of RAS mutation status on the treatment effect of panitumumab in a prospective–retrospective analysis of a randomized, multicenter phase III study of panitumumab plus fluorouracil, leucovorin, and irinotecan (FOLFIRI) versus FOLFIRI alone as second-line therapy in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC; ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT0039183). Experimental Design: Outcomes were from the study's primary analysis. RAS mutations beyond KRAS exon 2 (KRAS exons 3, 4; NRAS exons 2, 3, 4; BRAF exon 15) were detected by bidirectional Sanger sequencing in wild-type KRAS exon 2 tumor specimens. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) we…
Acquired BRAF inhibitor resistance: A multicenter meta-analysis of the spectrum and frequencies, clinical behaviour, and phenotypic associations of r…
2015
BackgroundAcquired resistance to BRAF inhibitors (BRAFi) is a near-universal phenomenon caused by numerous genetic and non-genetic alterations. In this study, we evaluated the spectrum, onset, pattern of progression, and subsequent clinical outcomes associated with specific mechanisms of resistance.MethodsWe compiled clinical and genetic data from 100 patients with 132 tissue samples obtained at progression on BRAFi therapy from 3 large, previously published studies of BRAFi resistance. These samples were subjected to whole-exome sequencing and/or polymerase chain reaction-based genetic testing.ResultsAmong 132 samples, putative resistance mechanisms were identified in 58%, including NRAS o…
Prognostic value of nuclear matrix protein expression in localized prostate cancer.
2012
The aim of the study was to correlate nuclear matrix (NM) protein expression profiles with the risk of PSA progression or death in early prostate cancer (PCa).High-resolution two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE) was used to identify tumor-associated NM proteins in the PCa specimens obtained from 94 patients. The association between the expression of each protein and the probability of PSA progression or death was studied through univariate analysis. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering analysis was then used to generate patient clusters showing comparable outcomes by including the proteins that were predictive at univariate analysis. PSA-free and overall survival curves relative to…
Impact of NPM1/FLT3-ITD genotypes defined by the 2017 European LeukemiaNet in patients with acute myeloid leukemia
2020
Contains fulltext : 218279.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access) Patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) harboring FLT3 internal tandem duplications (ITDs) have poor outcomes, in particular AML with a high (>/=0.5) mutant/wild-type allelic ratio (AR). The 2017 European LeukemiaNet (ELN) recommendations defined 4 distinct FLT3-ITD genotypes based on the ITD AR and the NPM1 mutational status. In this retrospective exploratory study, we investigated the prognostic and predictive impact of the NPM1/FLT3-ITD genotypes categorized according to the 2017 ELN risk groups in patients randomized within the RATIFY trial, which evaluated the addition of midostaurin to standard chemotherapy. The 4 …
Identification of Candidate Polymorphisms on Stress Oxidative and DNA Damage Repair Genes Related with Clinical Outcome in Breast Cancer Patients
2012
Diverse polymorphisms have been associated with the predisposition to develop cancer. On fewer occasions, they have been related to the evolution of the disease and to different responses to treatment. Previous studies of our group have associated polymorphisms on genes related to oxidative stress (rs3736729 on GCLC and rs207454 on XDH) and DNA damage repair (rs1052133 on OGG1) with a predisposition to develop breast cancer. In the present work, we have evaluated the hypothesis that these polymorphisms also play a role in a patient’s survival. A population-based cohort study of 470 women diagnosed with primary breast cancer and a median follow up of 52.44 months was conducted to e…
Measurement of continuous improvement in the safety of oncologic patients
2013
Objetivo: Analizar la mejora continua en la seguridad del paciente oncológico, a través de la evolución de los indicadores de calidad establecidos tras la implantación de un sistema de gestión de la calidad (SGC) según norma ISO 9001:2008, en una unidad de oncología farmacéutica (UOF). Método: Estudio observacional prospectivo realizado entre Enero 2008 y Diciembre de 2011. La certificación ISO 90012008 de la UOF incluyó los procesos de prescripción electrónica, validación, preparación, dispensación y administración del tratamiento antineoplásico. Se establecieron los indicadores de calidad: errores de medicación (EM) de preparación y dispensación que no alcanzan al paciente, y EM que alcan…
Pattern of progression in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma treated with ramucirumab
2020
Abstract Background & Aims Radiological progression patterns to first‐line sorafenib have been associated with post‐progression and overall survival in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, but these associations remain unknown for therapies in second‐ and later‐line settings. This post hoc analysis of REACH and REACH‐2 examined outcomes by radiological progression patterns in the second‐line setting of patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma treated with ramucirumab or placebo. Methods Patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, Child‐Pugh A and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status 0 or 1 with prior sorafenib were randomized to receive ramucirumab 8mg/kg or place…
Association Between Tumor Egfr and Kras Mutation Status and Clinical Outcomes in Nsclc Patients Randomized to Sorafenib Plus Best Supportive Care (BS…
2012
ABSTRACT Background Tumor EGFR and KRas mutations are both predictive and prognostic biomarkers in patients with advanced NSCLC. We analyzed the correlation between these biomarkers and treatment outcomes in a phase III trial of 3rd/4th line sorafenib in patients with NSCLC. Methods The global, randomized, placebo-controlled MISSION trial enrolled 703 patients with advanced relapsed/refractory NSCLC of predominantly non-squamous histology. The primary study endpoint was overall survival (OS). EGFR and KRas mutations were analyzed in archival tumor samples and in circulating tumor DNA isolated from plasma. Results Tumor and/or plasma mutation data were available from 347 patients (49%). EGFR…
Dose-response relationship in the context of a maintenance randomized control trial: reanalysis of the PRODIGE 9 trial
2019
Introduction The dose-response relationship is considered as one of the major criteria when the causality of a relationship between an exposure and an outcome is discussed. This criterion is mainly studied in observational studies but may be also of interest in Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT), particularly if the administered dose of treatment varies over time and between patients. Maintenance trials with a long follow-up meet these characteristics. We reanalyzed a maintenance trial in digestive oncology (PRODIGE 9 trial) in order to explore the dose-response relationship between the maintenance treatment and overall survival (OS). Methods The PRODIGE 9 study was a maintenance trial asses…
