Tissue factor and its procoagulant activity on cancer‐associated thromboembolism in pancreatic cancer
2021
Abstract Pancreatic cancer frequently involves cancer‐associated thromboembolism, which is strongly associated with poor prognosis. Tissue factor, a blood coagulation factor largely produced in cancer patients as a component of extracellular vesicles, plays a key role in the incidence of cancer‐associated thromboembolism in patients with pancreatic cancer. However, no prospective studies have been published on the relationship between tissue factor and cancer‐associated thromboembolism or patient clinical characteristics, including recent chemotherapy regimens. Thus, we aimed to address this in a Japanese cohort of 197 patients and 41 healthy volunteers. Plasma tissue factor levels were mea…
Risk of new or recurrent cancer under immunosuppressive therapy in patients with IBD and previous cancer.
2013
International audience; OBJECTIVE: To explore the risk of new or recurrent cancer among patients with IBD and previous cancer, exposed or not to immunosuppressants. DESIGN: Among the 17 047 patients of the CESAME prospective observational cohort who were enrolled from May 2004 to June 2005, and followed-up until December 2007, we identified 405 patients with cancer diagnosed previous to study entry. We calculated the rates of incident cancer in patients with or without previous cancer, and we assessed by survival analysis and nested case-control study the impact of immunosuppressants on the risk of incident new or recurrent cancer in patients with previous cancer. RESULTS: The rate of incid…
Validation of the revised international prognostic scoring system (IPSS-R) in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome: a multicenter study.
2013
The revised IPSS (IPSS-R) was developed aiming at a better prognostication, taking into account patients treated with best supportive care. We herein validated this model on the basis of data from 1314 patients who received BSC only as well as patients who underwent induction chemotherapy (n=214) or allogeneic transplantation (n=167). We could demonstrate a clear distinction of the IPSS-R risk categories with regard to survival and risk of AML evolution in all patient cohorts. When comparing IPSS-R, IPSS, WHO prognostic scoring system (WPSS) and Duesseldorf score, the best results regarding the ability to predict survival were obtained by the IPSS-R.
Impact of trastuzumab treatment beyond disease progression for advanced/metastatic breast cancer on survival - results from a prospective, observatio…
2013
Abstract Objectives Evidence suggests that continued trastuzumab therapy beyond progression (TBP) may provide additional survival benefit. Within the framework of an observational prospective study of patients with advanced/metastatic breast cancer receiving trastuzumab in routine clinical practice, we had the opportunity to examine the effect of TBP in a large population. Patients and methods Among a total of 1843 trastuzumab-treated patients, a sub-cohort of 418 fulfilled the selection criteria for the TBP analysis: 261 continued trastuzumab and 157 discontinued. Logrank tests and Cox models were used to compare survival and identify prognostic factors. Results Survival from progression w…
Neoadjuvant bevacizumab and anthracycline-taxane-based chemotherapy in 678 triple-negative primary breast cancers; results from the geparquinto study…
2013
Abstract Background We evaluated the pathological complete response (pCR) rate after neoadjuvant epirubicin, (E) cyclophosphamide (C) and docetaxel containing chemotherapy with and without the addition of bevacizumab in patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Patients and methods Patients with untreated cT1c-4d TNBC represented a stratified subset of the 1948 participants of the HER2-negative part of the GeparQuinto trial. Patients were randomized to receive four cycles EC (90/600 mg/m2; q3w) followed by four cycles docetaxel (100 mg/m2; q3w) each with or without bevacizumab (15 mg/kg; q3w) added to chemotherapy. Results TNBC patients were randomized to chemotherapy without (n =…
Population-based study of breast cancer survival in Cote d'Or (France): prognostic factors and relative survival.
2007
Abstract Background Few population-based studies have reported jointly analyses of relative survival according to the following prognostic factors: tumour–node–metastasis (TNM) stage, age, number of examined and positive nodes, hormonal status, histological Scarff, Bloom and Richardson (SBR) grade, tumour extension, hormone receptor status and tumour multifocal status. Patients and methods Data on female invasive breast cancer were provided by the Cote d’Or breast cancer registry. The Kaplan–Meier method and log-rank test were used to estimate and compare the survival probability at 1, 5, 10 and 15 years. The effect of prognostic factors on survival was assessed with crude and relative mult…
Distinct HR expression patterns significantly affect the clinical behavior of metastatic HER2+ breast cancer and degree of benefit from novel anti-HE…
2020
We analyzed data from 738 HER2‐positive metastatic breast cancer (mbc) patients treated with pertuzumab‐based regimens and/or T‐DM1 at 45 Italian centers. Outcomes were explored in relation to tumor subtype assessed by immunohistochemistry (IHC). The median progression‐free survival at first‐line (mPFS1) was 12 months. Pertuzumab as first‐line conferred longer mPFS1 compared to other first‐line treatments (16 vs. 9 months, p = 0.0001), regardless of IHC subtype. Median PFS in second‐line (mPFS2) was 7 months, with no difference by IHC subtype, but it was more favorable with T‐DM1 compared to other agents (7 vs. 6 months, p = 0.03). There was no PFS2 gain in patients with tumors expressing b…
Time to initiation of adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with rapidly proliferating early breast cancer
2015
Aim To evaluate the optimal time interval from definitive surgery to commencing chemotherapy in early breast cancer (EBC). Patients and methods The relationship between time to initiation of adjuvant chemotherapy (TTC), calculated in weeks, and disease-free (DFS) or overall survival (OS), was assessed in 921 EBC patients with rapidly proliferating tumours (thymidine labelling index >3% or G3 or Ki67 >20%), randomised in a phase III clinical trial (NCT01031030) to receive chemotherapy with or without anthracyclines (epirubicin → cyclophosphamide, methotrexate and fluorouracil (CMF) versus CMF → epirubicin versus CMF). DFS, OS and 95% confidence intervals (95% confidence interval (CI)) …
Peritoneal Carcinomatosis and Multi-Organ Metastases are Prognostic Factors in Colorectal Cancer: A Retrospective Analysis
2016
Background: Peritoneal carcinomatosis and multi-organ metastases might be prognostic factors in patients with advanced colorectal cancer and inoperable metastases at diagnosis. Methods: A retrospective study was performed to examine the relationship between patient clinical characteristics and prognosis in patients with colorectal cancer and indication for first-line systemic chemotherapy. Results: One hundred and twelve patients were accrued. According to univariate analysis, peritoneal carcinomatosis, lack of primary tumour resection and multi-organ metastases were associated with poor overall survival. According to multivariate analysis, patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis and patie…
Feasibility and tolerability of sequential doxorubicin/paclitaxel followed by cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and fluorouracil and its effects on tum…
2005
Abstract Purpose: The European Cooperative Trial in Operable breast cancer (ECTO) randomly tested whether efficacy of adjuvant doxorubicin followed by i.v. cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and fluorouracil (CMF; doxorubicin → CMF, arm A) could be improved by adding paclitaxel (doxorubicin/paclitaxel → CMF) as adjuvant (arm B) or primary systemic therapy (PST, arm C). We report here feasibility, tolerability, locoregional antitumor activity, and breast conservation rate. Methods: A total of 1,355 women entered the study. Feasibility and safety were compared in arm A versus arms B plus C. Surgical findings were compared in arms A plus B versus arm C. Results: Grade 3 or 4 National Cancer Insti…
