Venous Thromboembolism Risk in Patients With Locoregional Urothelial Tract Tumors

2017

Data de publicació electrónica: 24-08-2017 BACKGROUND: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is common in cancer patients, but there is limited data on patients with urothelial tract tumors (UTT). We previously identified several associative factors for increased VTE rates in patients with metastatic UTT. In this study, we assessed the frequency, associative factors, and impact on survival of VTE in patients with locoregional UTT. METHODS: Patients with locoregional bladder, upper urinary tract, or urethral cancer were included in this multi-center study from 29 academic institutions. Patients with N1, or M1 disease at diagnosis were excluded. Patients with incomplete clinical staging or miscoded/mi…

Definition and estimation of osteonecrosis of jaw (ONJ), and optimal duration of antiresorptive treatment in bone metastatic cancer patients: supplem…

2017

To the Editor, In their recent article, Stopeck et al. [1] concluded that denosumab confirms its known safety profile even after longterm exposure, or after switching to it from zoledronic acid, and that osteonecrosis of jaws (ONJ) rates increased with increasing exposure to antiresorptives, consistent with previous reports. This is based on the open label extension phase of two phase 3 studies in patients with breast and prostate cancer with bone metastases who were randomized to receive denosumab or zoledronic acid (ZA) [2, 3]. The patients were offered open-label denosumab for up to an additional 2 years after the results of the primary analysis, favorable for denosumab on several aspect…

Lack of everolimus diffusion in pleural fluid during pleural progression of breast cancer: A case report

2020

Background We report here a case where no everolimus pleural diffusion was evidenced at the same time of pleural progression of a metastatic breast cancer treated with everolimus and exemestane. Case description A 69-year-old woman was diagnosed in October 2006 with stage III invasive ductal breast adenocarcinoma. After nine months of everolimus and exemestane treatment, she presented with a pleural progression. Everolimus concentration was measured in blood and in pleural fluid. Residual blood concentration was at 9.1 ng/mL, while no everolimus was observed in the pleural fluid. Management and outcome Due to inefficacy of everolimus in this patient, she was switched to palbociclib and fulv…

Stage IV breast cancer: a population-based study about prognostic factors according to HER2 and HR status

2015

International audience; We aim to describe trends in net survival (NS) and to assess the prognostic factors among women with de novo metastatic breast cancer (MBC) according to human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and hormone receptor (HR) status. Data on women suffering from de novo MBC and diagnosed from 1998 to 2009 were provided by the Côte-d'Or breast cancer registry. NS was described using the Pohar Perme estimator and prognostic factors were investigated in a generalised linear model. We identified 232 patients (mean age = 64.7). Median NS was 29.2 months, 1- and 5-year NS were 76% and 26% respectively. The survival trend in patients with HER2-positive tumours who did not …

Weekly docetaxel in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer

2008

Breast cancer is the most frequent tumor among women worldwide and is the second cause of cancer-related mortality in the US. Metastatic breast cancer (MBC) accounts for less than 10% of newly diagnosed breast cancer patients and about 30% of early breast cancer patients will develop recurrent, advanced, or metastatic disease. It remains an incurable illness and the primary goal of its management is palliative. Several agents are active for the fi rst-line treatment of MBC. The taxanes, paclitaxel and docetaxel, represent the standard of care for the treatment of these patients. Among the various schedules, docetaxel can be administered weekly, achieving similar effi cacy results with lower…

Oral vinorelbine and capecitabine as first-line therapy in metastatic breast cancer: a retrospective analysis

2021

A retrospective analysis of 70 patients with triple-negative or hormone-resistant advanced breast carcinoma who had not previously received chemotherapy was carried out. Patients received oral vinorelbine 60 mg/m2 on day 1 and 8, plus capecitabine 1000 mg/m2 bid for 14 consecutive days every 3 weeks. Overall response rate was 53% with a 9% complete response rate. Stable disease was recorded in 27% of the cases. Median progression-free survival was 7.9 months and median overall survival was 29.2 months. Toxicity was generally mild and easily manageable. These data demonstrate that this combination is feasible, safe and active as first-line treatment of triple-negative fully hormone-resistant…
