Limitations to the use of carboplatin-based therapy in advanced ovarian cancer
Publication date: December 2014 Source:European Journal of Cancer Supplements, Volume 12, Issue 2 Author(s): Christina Fotopoulou Most patients with recurrent ovarian cancer (ROC) undergo a series of remissions and recurrences, therefore the additive or cumulative toxicity of chemotherapy must be factored into their treatment plan. There are challenges in defining tailored therapeutic approaches, including optimal timing and drug sequencing management strategies to treat patients with ROC. This is particularly as new cytotoxic drugs and biological agents become available. Many of these drugs are associated with increa...

Optimising the treatment of the partially platinum-sensitive relapsed ovarian cancer patient
Publication date: December 2014 Source:European Journal of Cancer Supplements, Volume 12, Issue 2 Author(s): Nicoletta Colombo The choice of second-line chemotherapy in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer (ROC) is complex, with several factors to be considered, the most important of which is the length of the platinum-free treatment interval (PFI). Recently ROC patients have been further stratified into platinum sensitive (PS), partially platinum sensitive (PPS) and platinum resistant (PR) subgroups depending on the length of the PFI. Response to second-line therapy, progression-free survival (PFS) and overall surv...

Introduction to managing patients with recurrent ovarian cancer
Publication date: December 2014 Source:European Journal of Cancer Supplements, Volume 12, Issue 2 Author(s): Hani Gabra Ovarian cancer is the 5th most common cancer found in women in the UK. It is the leading cause of death from gynaecological cancer, and is the 4th most common cause of cancer death among UK women. Similar to the majority of other cancers, relative survival rates for ovarian cancer are improving, although 5-year mortality rates remain stubbornly low. The stage of the disease at diagnosis is the single most important determinant of ovarian cancer survival, as many patients first present with advanced d...

Molecular profile of lung cancer in never smokers
Publication date: September 2013 Source:European Journal of Cancer Supplements, Volume 11, Issue 2 Author(s): Janakiraman Subramanian , Ramaswamy Govindan Tobacco smoking is the most common cause of lung cancer, but approximately 10–25% of patients with lung cancer are life-long never smokers. The cause of lung cancer in never smokers is unknown, although tobacco-smoke exposure may play a role in some of these patients. Lung cancer that develops in the absence of significant tobacco-smoke exposure appears to be a unique disease entity with novel genomic and epigenomic alterations and activation of molecular pathway...
