Rol protector de N-acetilcisteína en la ototoxicidad inducida por cisplatino en pacientes con cáncer de cabeza y cuello. Ensayo clínico controlado aleatorizado

Resumen Introducción: La ototoxicidad por cisplatino es un evento muy frecuente y sus consecuencias producen mucho deterioro en los pacientes. El diagnóstico precoz es esencial, pues permitiría implementar apropiadamente estrategias para aminorar su efecto. Entre estas tenemos la N-acetilcisteína, un...

Which Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Must We Apply Before? A Case Report of Crizotinib-resistant Patient with Concomitant EGFR and EML4-ALK Gene Mutations

West Indian med. j; 69 (3), 2021
ABSTRACT The concomitant epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) translocations in lung adenocancers are very rare scenarios. Until now, 42 cases described in the literature have all been treated by different drugs. There is no overall consensus regarding the...

Cisplatin-induced hydroxyl radicals mediate pro-survival autophagy in human lung cancer H460 cells

Biol. Res; 54 (), 2021
BACKGROUND: Accumulated evidence demonstrates cisplatin, a recommended chemotherapy, modulating pro-survival autophagic response that contributes to treatment failure in lung cancer patients. However, distinct mechanisms involved in cisplatin-induced autophagy in human lung cancer cells are still unclear...

Pancreatitis aguda en carcinoma de célula pequeña de pulmón (CPCP) resuelta con quimioterapia

Rev. colomb. cancerol; 24 (2), 2020
Resumen El carcinoma de célula pequeña (CPCP) o microcítico de pulmón es un subtipo de cáncer de pulmón que típicamente se ha asociado al tabaquismo y que se caracteriza por su agresividad y mal pronóstico a corto plazo. Como entidad, puede metastatizar en cualquier órgano, siendo las metástasi...

Otoprotection Mechanisms Against Oxidative Stress Caused by Cisplatin

Abstract Introduction Cisplatin damages the auditory system and is related to the generation of free radicals. Glutathione peroxidase is an endogenous free radicals remover. Objective To investigate the mechanisms involved in otoprotection by N-acetylcys- teine through the expression of glutathione p...

Eficacia y seguridad de pembrolizumab asociado a quimioterapia en doblete basada en platino en el tratamiento de primera línea de pacientes adultos con adenocarcinoma de pulmón metastásico, con las mutaciones EGFR y ALK negativos

INTRODUCCIÓN: El cáncer de pulmón (CP) es uno de los tumores más frecuentes en el mundo. Se clasifica en dos grupos, siendo el subgrupo de CP de células no pequeñas (CPCNP) el más frecuente (80 %). A su vez, el CPCNP se subdivide en el subtipo escamoso y el no escamoso. El adenocarcinoma de pulmó...

Enhancing Antitumor Efficacy of Cisplatin Low Dose by EDTA in Ehrlich Ascetic Carcinoma Bearing Mice

Abstract In a recent study, the treatment of different human cancer cell lines in vitro with ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA) showed a promising anticancer activity which could be a novel promising approach for cancer treatment. The aim of this study is to address the ability of EDTA to enhance ...

DNA repair pathways and cisplatin resistance: an intimate relationship

Clinics; 73 (supl.1), 2018
The main goal of chemotherapeutic drugs is to induce massive cell death in tumors. Cisplatin is an antitumor drug widely used to treat several types of cancer. Despite its remarkable efficiency, most tumors show intrinsic or acquired drug resistance. The primary biological target of cisplatin is genomic ...

Pathologic complete response (ypt0 ypn0) after chemotherapy and radiotherapy neoadjuvant followed by esophagectomy in the squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus

ABCD (São Paulo, Impr.); 31 (4), 2018
ABSTRACT Background: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is an aggressive neoplasia that requires a multidisciplinary treatment in which survival and prognosis are still not satisfactory. The complete pathologic response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy is considered a good prognosis factor, ...
