However, anthracyclines have the serious side effect of cumulative dose-related cardiotoxicity. Clinically, intake of myocardial protective drugs is one of the most important strategies for the safe use of anthracyclines in chemotherapy. Numerous cancer patients un- dergoing chemotherapy also require surgery, during which general anesthesia is commonly used. Various studies have shown that propofol and sevoflurane, the most commonly used general anesthetics, present a significant protective effect in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion damage. Therefore, for patients who have just undergone chemotherapy with anthracyclines, anthracycline-induced myocardial injury may occur at the acute or chronic phase of surgery. Consequently, if the effect of anesthetics on the cardiotoxicity of anthracyclines is similar to the protective effect of these drugs for myocardial ischemia-reperfusion damage, this protective effect on cardiotoxicity will have significant impact on the recovery of cardiopulmonary function of patients after surgery. Thus, further studies are needed to establish the effect of anesthetics on the cardiotoxicity of anthracyclines.","PeriodicalId":314105,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Oncology and Cancer Research","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114801018","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the test results of tumor markers, gastroscopy, chest and abdominal CT, and PET-CT examination are hard to make a definite diagnosis. The patient was finally diagnosed with malignant pheochromocytoma with liver, lung and bone metastases following the needle biopsy of liver and underwent the excision of a right adrenal pheochromocytoma. Therapeutic standard for the malignant pheochromocytomas is not available so far. It is reported that chemotherapeutic CVD regimen (cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and daecarbazine) and suni- tinib may be effectual in the alike cases. The patient received two cycles of CVD and one cycle of sunitinib, nevertheless, slow progres- sion of the disease remained after the treatment. The results of multi-disciplinary treatment have suggested that 131I-MIBG may just be a choice for this patient.","PeriodicalId":314105,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Oncology and Cancer Research","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122909067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: This study involved 401 NPC patients recently diagnosed and admitted in Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center, China. Laboratory variables, such as immunology-related parameters and albumin level prior to treatment, were analyzed. The overall survival and disease-free survival rates were determined using the Kaplan-Meier method and were then compared using the log-rank test. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed using the Cox proportional hazards model to identify prognostic factors. Results: Patients with neutrophil counts >5.20×10/L (n=172) had significantly lower overall survival and disease-free survival rates compared with those with neutrophil counts≤5.20×10/L (n=229) (P=0.014, P=0.009). In the 401 NPC cases, patients with high albumin levels (>43.00 g/L; n=253) had significantly higher overall survival (P=0.000) and disease-free survival (P=0.006) rates compared with those with low albumin levels (≤43.00 g/L; n=148). Multivariate analysis showed that the neutrophil level is an independent risk factor for disease-free survival, whereas the albumin level is a strong independent prognostic factor for overall survival. Conclusion: The pretherapeutic neutrophil and albumin levels are independent prognostic factors for survival in NPC patients.","PeriodicalId":314105,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Oncology and Cancer Research","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121384505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: A retrospective review was performed based on the clinical records of 14 POL cases treated at Tianjin Medical University Oncology institute Hospital verity from 2000-6 to 2010-5. Results: The median age of patients was 47 years at presentation(range 28~62years). Abdominal pain was the most common initial symptom. The majority of histological subtype was B cell lymphoma, above 50% of which is diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. A R0 resection was carried out in 2 patients who were lost to follow-up soon after surgery. 11 patients were treated by CHOP, FC or CHOPE chemotherapy. Chemotherapy combined with rituximab were given to 5 patients. Until now, 5 patients were alive, 6 patients died, and only one patient was lost to follow up after therapy. Conclusion: POL is an extremely rare lymphoma. The ultimate diagnosis depends on histopathologic examination. Primary ovarian non-Hodgkin lymphoma should be treated with multi-modality strategies. Treatment with doxorubicin-based chemotherapy after oophorotomy is recommended. B cell lymphoma preferred to use rituximab combination chemotherapy.

Methods: A total of 25 patients with stageIIIB and stageIV NSCLC, who underwent PTR from September 2010 to July 2006, were retrospectively analyzed. The PTR regime was 45 Gy in 15 fractions. Symptom relief, effect, and toxicity after completion of PTR were assessed. Survival was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: Except for one patient who completed only 36 Gy in 12 fractions, all other patients completed all plans. The thoracic symptoms of 18 patients were relieved. The response rates for the five main symptoms were: hemoptysis 87.5% (7/8), cough 70.6% (12/17), pain 73.3% (11/15), dyspnea 57.1% (8/14), and hoarseness 50% (1/2). The complete response and partial response after PTR was 28%, and no grade 3 or higher toxicities occurred. The median time of overall survival (OS) is 13 months (95% CI: 6.6 months to 19.5 months), and one-year OS is 51.5%. According to the univariate analysis, KPS before PTR, the number of post-PTR was significantly related to the survival. Conclusion: For advanced NSCLC patients, the PTR regime given as 45 Gy in 15 fractions evidently relieved thoracic symptoms, improved OS, and shortened treatment time. Recent relevant adverse radiotherapy reactions are low, and more prospective clinical studies must be conducted.","PeriodicalId":314105,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Oncology and Cancer Research","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128838178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: Thirty-one healthy volunteers were grouped into three palonosetron hydrochloride dosage regimens of 0.125, 0.25, and 0.5 mg. The plasma concentrations of palonosetron were determined by ultra high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). DAS 2.1 software was applied to assess the plasma concentration-time data. Results: After intravenous injection of 0.125, 0.25, and 0.5 mg palonosetron to the subjects, the AUC0-168h values of palonosetron were (7.5±2.5), (15.2±4.0), and (34.8±9.7) μg· h·mL.
