Multiple primary tumours: challenges and approaches, a review

Alexia Vogt, Sabine Schmid, Karl Heinimann et al. · 1 Jan 2017

When in a patient more than one tumour in the same or a different organ is diagnosed, multiple primary tumours may be present. For epidemiological studies, different definitions of multiple primaries are used with the two main definitions coming from the project Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results and the International Association of Cancer Registries and…

NTRK gene fusions as novel targets of cancer therapy across multiple tumour types

Alessio Amatu, Andrea Sartore‐Bianchi, Salvatore Siena · 1 Jan 2016

The tropomyosin receptor kinase (Trk) receptor family comprises 3 transmembrane proteins referred to as Trk A, B and C (TrkA, TrkB and TrkC) receptors that are encoded by the NTRK1, NTRK2 and NTRK3 genes, respectively. These receptor tyrosine kinases are expressed in human neuronal tissue and play an essential role in the physiology of development…

Nivolumab plus ipilimumab versus sunitinib for first-line treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma: extended 4-year follow-up of the phase III CheckMate 214 trial

Cancer cachexia in adult patients: ESMO Clinical Practice Guidelines☆

Jann Arends, Florian Strasser, Silvia Gonella et al. · 1 Jun 2021

Cachexia remains an underdiagnosed and undertreated, complex condition which includes ‘objective’ components (e.g. inadequate food intake, weight loss, inactivity, loss of muscle mass and metabolic derangements, inducing catabolism)1,2 and ‘subjective’ components (e.g. anorexia, early satiety, taste alterations, chronic nausea, distress, fatigue and loss of concentration). Approximately half of all patients with advanced cancer experience cachexia.

Mechanisms of resistance to EGFR-targeted drugs: lung cancer

Floriana Morgillo, Carminia Maria Della Corte, Morena Fasano et al. · 1 Jan 2016

Despite the improvement in clinical outcomes derived by the introduction of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) in the treatment of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumours harbour EGFR-activating mutations, prognosis remains unfavourable because of the occurrence of either intrinsic or acquired resistance. We reviewed the published literature…
