A 68-year-old man was diagnosed with multiple lung metastases of HCC 7 mo after partial hepatectomy for HCC. Oral UFT-E was given daily and docetaxel and CDDP were given intra-arterially (administered just before the bronchial arteries) every 2 wk via a subcutaneous injection port. One month after starting chemotherapy, levels of tumor marker, protein induced by vitamin K absence(PIVKA--), decreased rapidly,and after a further month, chest X-ray and computed tomography revealed the complete disappearance of multiple liver metastases. Two years after the combined chemotherapy, HCC recurred in the liver and was treated but no pulmonary recurrence occurred. In the absence of a standardized highly effective therapy, this combined chemotherapy with docetaxel, CDDP and UFT-E may be an attractive option for multiple lung metastases of HCC.展开更多

Methods: Forty-five female patients received docetaxel 60 mg/m^2 on dl and cisplatin 30 mg/m^2 on d1-d3 of every 28 days. Every patient was treated with at least 2 cycles and a median of 3 cycles (2-6 cycles ). Results: Five patients achieved complete response (11.1%) and 18 partial response (40.0%), 10 stable disease (22.2%). The overall response rate was 51.1%. The clinical disease control rate was 73.3%, median time to tumor progression (TTP) was 7.8 months (1.0-34.5 months), median survival time was 17.6 months (range 1.9-48.0 months), and one year survival rate was 65.2%. The main side effect was marrow suppression. The treatment was well tolerated with grades Ⅲ and Ⅳ leukopenia in nine (20%) and ten (22.2%) patients. Conclusion: Combinative chemotherapy of docetaxel and cisplatin has a good anti-tumor activity on refractory advanced breast cancer with manageable toxicity.展开更多

Methods A total of 106 eligible patients treated with the EP chemotherapy regimen for two to six cycles, at The General Hospital of Shenyang Military Region (China) between November 2004 and Way 2011, were enrolled in this study. RECIST version 1.1 was used for the evaluation of chemotherapy efficiency. We followed up all eligible patients every 4 weeks. All statistical data were analyzed by using SPSS 21.0 statistical package for Windows. Results After a median follow-up of 293 days (range, 62-1531 days), all patients had died by the cutoff date. Fifty-one patients acquired PR or CR after two cycles of chemotherapy; the median PFS reached 6.0 months (95% CI, 5.1-6.9), and the median OS was 10.5 months (95% CI, 8.6-12.4). Twenty-eight patients acquired PR or CR after four or six cycles; the median PFS was 4.8 months (95% CI, 4.4-5.2), and the median OS was 7.5 months (95% CI, 6.8-8.2). Both PFS and OS showed a statistical difference between the two groups. Conclusion ES-SCLC patients who acquired PR or CR after two cycles of the EP regimen as first-line therapy had longer PFS and OS than those who acquired PR or CR after four or six cycles.展开更多

Methods: RRM1 protein expression in tumor tissue was detected by streptavidin-peroxidase (SP) method of immunohistochemistry. GP regimen (gemcitabine 1000-1250 mg d1, d8, cisplatin 75 mg/m2) was given to advanced NSCLC patients with low expression of RRM1 protein. Results: In the total of 40 patients, these patients with RRM1 low expression performing GP chemotherapy had a good response rate, the objective response rate (ORR) was 47.5% (95% CI, 32.02%- 62.98%), and the disease control rate (DCR) was 72.5% (95 % CI, 65.44%-79.56%). ORR is 45.45% (5/11) in the squamous cell carcinoma patients while 48.15% (13/27) in the adenocarcinoma patients. Conclusion: Supedor ORR and DCR were found in advanced NSCLC patients with low expression of RRM1 protein expression performing GP regimen.展开更多
