Prognostic factors of overall survival for patients with FIGO stage IIIc or IVa ovarian cancer treated with neo-adjuvant chemotherapy followed by int…
2020
International audience; Introduction The aim of this study was to identify prognostic factors of overall survival in patients with FIGO stage IIIc or IVa ovarian cancer (OC) treated by neo-adjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) followed by interval debulking surgery.Materials and methods Data from 483 patients with ovarian cancer were retrospectively collected, from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2016, from the FRANCOGYN database, regrouping data from 11 centers specialized in ovarian cancer treatment. Median overall survival was determined using the Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed to define prognostic factors of overall survival.Results The median overall sur…
Long-term outcomes in stage IIIB breast cancer patients who achieved less than a pathological complete response (pCR) after primary chemotherapy.
2009
Abstract Learning Objectives After completing this course, the reader will be able to: Summarize the main risk factors for relapse in patients with T4 breast cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.Evaluate the role of hormone receptors and HER-2 as determinants of risk of relapse after neoadjuvant treatment.Compare the difference in outcomes between patients who achieve less than pCR in relation to receptor status. This article is available for continuing medical education credit at CME.TheOncologist.com. Purpose. Pathological complete response (pCR) to primary chemotherapy is the main determinant for improved disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). The primary endpoints of ou…
Serial circulating tumor DNA analysis to assess recurrence risk, benefit of adjuvant therapy, growth rate and early relapse detection in stage III co…
2021
3540 Background: Challenges in the postoperative management of stage III colorectal cancer include: 1) selection of high-risk patients for adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT), 2) lack of markers to assess ACT efficacy, 3) assessment of recurrence risk after ACT, and 4) lack of markers to guide treatment decisions for high-risk patients e.g. additional therapy or intensified surveillance. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a promising marker with potential to mitigate the challenges. Here we used serial ctDNA measurements to assess the correlation between recurrence and ctDNA detection: postoperative, during and after ACT, and during surveillance; and to assess growth rates of metachronous metastases…
Effect of adding oxaliplatin to adjuvant 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin (5FU/LV) in patients with defective mismatch repair (dMMR) colon cancer stage II a…
2013
3524 Background: The MOSAIC study (André T, N Engl J Med, 2004) demonstrated that adding oxaliplatin to adjuvant 5FU and LV improved three-year disease-free survival (DFS) in stage II and III resected CC. Efficacy of FOLFOX4 in pts with dMMR stage III was suggested in a retrospective study (Zaanan A, Ann Oncol 2010). Methods: Of the 2,246 pts included in MOSAIC study, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue blocks or slides from 1,019 pts were obtained. Thirty-three samples with insufficient tumor tissue were excluded from this translational study. MMR status was determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis of the protein products of MLH1, MSH2, PMS2, and MSH6 genes. Results: …
Final results of RENO study: Randomized phase II of oral vinorelbine or etoposide with cisplatin and chemo-radiation in stage III NSCLC. SLCG 10/02.

e20521Background: This study aims to compare efficacy and safety of two widely used combinations of cisplatin (P) in this setting: as etoposide (E) and vinorelbine. This last, in its oral formulati...
Fludarabine combined with radiotherapy in patients with locally advanced NSCLC lung carcinoma: a phase I study
2011
Abstract Background and purpose Fludarabine is an adenine nucleoside analogue that has significant activity in hematological malignancies and has shown promising activity in combination with radiation in preclinical solid tumor models. We designed a phase I trial exploring concurrent fludarabine and radiotherapy in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of fludarabine given with concurrent irradiation. Materials and methods Thirteen patients with stage IIIB NSCLC received thoracic irradiation of 60 Gy. Fludarabine was administered during the 5th and 6th week of radiotherapy. Doses started at 10 mg/m2 per day and increased by s…

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy for stage IIIA-N2 non-small cell lung cancer
2005
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy in potentially resectable stage IIIA-N2 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has become standard of treatment in the last years. Two randomised pioneer phase III trials conducted with second generation platinum combinations had demonstrated an advantage in survival of induction chemotherapy followed by surgery versus surgery alone. Subsequently, a wide number of phase II studies with third generation platinum-based doublets or triplets have increased the evidence of the activity as well as the good tolerability of this approach. Nowadays, the main topics of ongoing clinical research are to assess the role of induction chemotherapy in early stage disease, and the role …
Wilms tumours diagnosed by routine physical examinations.
1988
Sir: The prognosis of stage I and -II Wilms tumours with favourable histology is good, reaching 97% (stage I) and 92% (stage II) 5 year disease-free survival rates [1]. With these figures in mind the question arises whether the overall prognosis of Wilms tumours could be improved by presymptomatic routine physical examinations in an attempt to avoid stage III to V primary diagnoses. In the Federal Republic of Germany six routine physical examinations (RPE) are offered to infants, and two additional ones to children between 12 and 48 months. The 1980-1987 German Wilms tumour study [1] listed 313 patients, 29 of whom (9%) were diagnosed by such routine examinations. As shown in Table 1, the R…
Quelle place reste-t-il pour la chirurgie dans les cancers bronchiques de stade IIIA-N2 ?
2015
Resume Introduction Le cancer bronchique non a petites cellules (CBNPC) demeure un probleme de sante majeur, avec une survie globale a 5 ans des stades IIIA de l’ordre de 25 %. La prise en charge chirurgicale des CBNPC de stade IIIA demeure cependant controversee. Nous avons donc evalue les differentes strategies de prise en charge des CBNPC de stade IIIA-N2. Methodes De janvier 1990 a decembre 2013, les essais controles randomises evaluant la survie des patients traites par chimiotherapie d’induction suivie d’une resection chirurgicale vs chirurgie seule, et ceux evaluant la survie des patients traites par radio- ou chimiotherapie d’induction suivie d’une resection chirurgicale vs la combi…
