For patients with unknown primary tumors, this hypothesis has only recently undergone limited testing. Two groups (one from the USA and one from Europe) have published their experience with higher doses of chemotherapy in the treatment of UPC. The results are not superior to those reported by other investigators using more standard doses of chemotherapy. Most importantly, chemotherapy trials for UPC are usually conducted in small populations made up of heterogeneous patient subsets with varying sensitivity to chemotherapy. It seems likely that progress in the management of patients with unknown primary cancers will occur as a result of efforts to improve the understanding of the natural history of this disease coupled with the assessment of novel agents targeted against specific biochemical abnormalities that will be demonstrated to be important in the development and maintenance of these malignancies.","address":"","school":"","issn":"1040-8428","doi":"","isi":"","pubmed":"11856596","key":"Saad2002","howpublished":"","urllink":"","refid":26} , {userid:"agostino.steffan", "articletype":"article","pages":"37-43","author":"A Da Ponte, E Bidoli, R Talamini, A Steffan, L Abbruzzese, R Tassan Toffola, L De Marco","year":"2005","title":"Pre-storage leucocyte depletion and transfusion reaction rates in cancer patients.","month":"Feb","journal":"Transfus Med","publisher":"","volume":"15","number":"1","note":"","tags":"Adolescent,Adult,Aged,Blood Preservation,Erythrocyte Transfusion,Female,Humans,Leukocyte Reduction Procedures,Male,Middle Aged,Neoplasms","booktitle":"","editor":"","abstract":"Passenger leucocytes transfused with allogenic blood are responsible for potential adverse effects. The impact of pre-storage leucodepletion (in-line filtration) of all whole blood units on transfusion reaction rate among patients suffering from cancer was retrospectively studied, comparing all reactions following red blood cell (RBC) transfusions during 2 years of pre-storage vs. 2 years of selective (bedside) leucodepletion. During selective leucodepletion, 5165 RBC units - of which 2745 were bedside filtered units- were transfused to 866 patients. Twenty-eight reactions were recorded: 22 (15 in the bedside group) febrile non-haemolytic transfusion reactions (FNHTR) and six allergic reactions (five in the bedside group). The overall percentage of reactions was 0.54 (0.76 for bedside) and 0.42 for FNHTR (0.54 for bedside). During pre-storage leucodepletion, 4116 RBC units were transfused to 841 patients. Eleven reactions were recorded: four FNHTR and seven allergic reactions (urticaria). The percentage of reactions for transfused RBC units was 0.26 (0.09 for FNHTR). Comparison between pre-storage filtration and bedside filtration with regard to FNHTR showed an odds ratio of 2.80 (95% confidence interval = 0.83-14.87) for bedside filtration. The study suggests that, for transfused patients affected by cancer, pre-storage leucodepletion is more effective than selective (bedside) filtration in reducing the incidence of transfusion reactions (FNHTR).","address":"","school":"","issn":"0958-7578","doi":"10.1111\/j.1365-3148.2005.00546.x","isi":"","pubmed":"15713127","key":"DaPonte2005","howpublished":"","urllink":"","refid":5} , {userid:"nicola.perrotti", "refid":47,"repocollections":"","attachment":"","_thumb":"","articletype":"article","sectionheading":"","title":"Determination of SGK1 mRNA in non-small cell lung cancer samples underlines high expression in squamous cell carcinomas.\r\n","year":"2012","author":"Abbruzzese C, Mattarocci S, Pizzuti L, Mileo AM, Visca P, Antoniani B, Alessandrini G, Facciolo F,\r\nAmato R, D'Antona L, Rinaldi M, Felsani A, Perrotti N, Paggi MG. \r\n","journal":"JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL & CLINICAL CANCER RESEARCH","volume":"12","number":"","pages":"","month":"","doi":"","pubmed":"","pdflink":"","urllink":"","abstract":"","note":"","tags":""} , {userid:"everardo", "articletype":"article","pages":"307-313","author":"Paulo M Hoff, Everardo D Saad, Richard Pazdur, Robert Wolff, Yvonne Lassere, Karla R Bogaard, James L Abbruzzese","year":"2004","title":"Phase I trial of combined irinotecan and oxaliplatin given every three weeks to patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.","month":"Aug","journal":"Invest New Drugs","publisher":"","volume":"22","number":"3","note":"","tags":"Adult,Aged,Antineoplastic Combined Chemotherapy Protocols,Camptothecin,Cohort Studies,Colorectal Neoplasms,Dose-Response Relationship, Drug,Drug Administration Schedule,Female,Humans,Male,Maximum Tolerated Dose,Middle Aged,Neoplasm Metastasis,Neutropenia,Organoplatinum Compounds,Treatment Outcome","booktitle":"","editor":"","abstract":"Both irinotecan and oxaliplatin are active agents in the treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (MCC).
