Primary chemotherapy with sequential docetaxel followed by docetaxel and epirub...

Primary chemotherapy is increasingly used in patients with large operable breast cancer. Docetaxel and epirubicin are the most active agents in breast cancer treatment. PURPOSE: To evaluate clinical response rate, breast conserving surgery and pathological response rate in patients with large operable breast cancer treated with docetaxel followed by docetaxel and epirubicin as primary chemotherapy. PATIENTS AND...

Molecular detection of EGFRvIII-positive cells in the peripheral blood of breas...

The aim of this study is to evaluate epidermal growth factor receptor variant III, EGFRvIII, a cancer specific mutant, as a possible marker for the diagnosis of breast cancer occult systemic disease. EGFRvIII mRNA was identified by an RT-nested PCR with a high sensitivity. In 102 women studied, the mutant was detected in the peripheral blood of 30% of 33 low risk, early stage patients, in 56% of 18 patients sel...

Placental site trophoblastic tumour: the value of transvaginal colour and pulse...

The clinical, transvaginal sonography and colour flow mapping of one patient with placental site trophoblastic tumour is presented. Colour Doppler documented a marked increase in uterine vascularity, characterised by low diastolic flow suggestive of low resistance blood flow, without regression after completion of apparently successful chemotherapy, when negative beta-hCG plasma levels were obtained. Surgical t...

Induced pneumoperitoneum in CT evaluation of peritoneal carcinomatosis

BACKGROUND: Imaging of peritoneal carcinomatosis is a well-known problem even for technologies as recent as computed tomography (CT). The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether CT performed after induced pneumoperitoneum (CT-PP) could have a higher sensitivity in the detection of peritoneal implants over conventional CT. METHODS: Five patients with known ovarian malignancies underwent standard CT and CT-...
