Terapia-alvo versus dacarbazina no tratamento de primeira linha do melanoma avançado não cirúrgico e metastático: análise de impacto orçamentário na perspectiva do Sistema Único de Saúde, 2018-2020

Epidemiol. serv. saúde; 28 (2), 2019
Objetivo: estimar o impacto orçamentário incremental da terapia-alvo para tratamento de primeira linha do melanoma avançado não cirúrgico e metastático, em comparação à dacarbazina. Métodos: análise de impacto orçamentário na perspectiva do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) do Brasil; a partir...

Behavior of stroke volume variation in hemodynamic stable patients during thoracic surgery with one-lung ventilation periods

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 68 (3), 2018
Abstract Introduction: In last few years, emphasis was placed in goal-directed therapy in order to optimize patient's hemodynamic status and improve their prognosis. Parameters based on the interaction between heart and lungs have been questioned in situations like low tidal volume and open chest surger...

Efficacy of targeted therapy for advanced renal cell carcinoma: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Int. braz. j. urol; 44 (2), 2018
ABSTRACT We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature on the efficacy of the targeted therapies in the treatment of advanced RCC and, via an indirect comparison, to provide an optimal treatment among these agents. A systematic search of Medline, Scopus, Cochrane Library and Clinic...

Liquid biopsy: emergence of a new era in personalized cancer care

Appl. cancer res; 38 (), 2018
The most successful treatment for cancer involves identifying druggable, biological markers for targeted therapy. In the clinical setting, surgical removal of tumors is the only procedure for identifying such targetable molecules. Shed from tumor cells, these markers are also present in circulating blood...

Insights on the epigenetic mechanisms underlying pulmonary arterial hypertension

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (12), 2018
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), characterized by localized increased arterial blood pressure in the lungs, is a slow developing long-term disease that can be fatal. PAH is characterized by inflammation, vascular tone imbalance, pathological pulmonary vascular remodeling, and right-sided heart fail...

RHO GTPasas como blancos moleculares en cáncer: Estrategias y oportunidades terapéuticas
Rho GTPases as molecular targets in cancer. Strategies and therapeutic opportunities

Medicina (B.Aires); 77 (6), 2017
Las Rho GTPasas son una familia de proteínas que actúan como interruptores moleculares en diversas vías de señalización coordinando la regulación de distintos procesos celulares. La desregulación de dichas proteínas se vincula con transformación maligna y progresión tumoral en distintos tipos d...

Validation of preoperative variables and stratification of patients to help predict benefit of cytoreductive nephrectomy in the targeted therapy ERA

Int. braz. j. urol; 43 (3), 2017
ABSTRACT Objectives To further elucidate which patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) may benefit from cytoreductive nephrectomy (CN) before targeted therapy (TT), and to assess the overall survival of patients undergoing CN and TT versus TT alone. Materials and Methods We identified 88...

Busca de alvos proteicos para desenvolvimento de inibidores enzimáticos em sistemas hospedeiro-parasito

Diante da necessidade de uma metodologia para buscar e avaliar a relevância do desenvolvimento de inibidores para enzimas específicas em um organismo patógeno que pudesse ser aplicada em sistemas hospedeiro-parasito em geral foram utilizados dois modelos; um envolvendo um vertebrado, Homo sapiens, e u...

Aptamers as a promising approach for the control of parasitic diseases

Braz. j. infect. dis; 20 (6), 2016
ABSTRACT Aptamers are short single-stranded RNA or DNA oligonucleotides that are capable of binding various biological targets with high affinity and specificity. Their identification initially relies on a molecular process named SELEX (Systematic Evolution of Ligands by EXponential enrichment) that has ...

Entendiendo las terapias actuales en melanoma metastásico

Rev. méd. Chile; 144 (11), 2016
Cutaneous melanoma is a highly aggressive tumor developing from melanocytes, its incidence is increasing, and prognosis in advanced stages is daunting. New therapies have been approved during the recent years with unprecedented results, including inhibitors of MAPK/ERK pathway and immune checkpoint block...
