Radiochemotherapy

The press release stated that the addition of hyperthermia to standard radiotherapy and chemotherapy (radiochemotherapy) increases the number of patients who can be effectively treated without removal of the bladder. ❋ Unknown (2010)

To identify potential subgroups of rectal cancer patients who might benefit from cetuximab-based neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy, we assessed gene expression of factors involved in tumor growth (EGFR), angiogenesis (VEGF, VEGFR1, VEGFR2d), DNA repair (ERCC1) and drug metabolism (TS), as well as KRAS gene mutation status. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The addition of hyperthermia to standard radiotherapy and chemotherapy (radiochemotherapy) improves these treatment results and increases the number of patients who can be effectively treated without removal of the bladder. ❋ Unknown (2009)

In a separate analysis p aims of radiochemotherapy in combination dissection in metastatic transitional cell Solsona et als series. ❋ Nathan Hamm (2009)

Considering both, a possible interpretation of these data could be a survival benefit of local control by simultaneous thoracic radiochemotherapy in the case of improved distant control due to chemotherapy and prophylactic cranial irradiation. ❋ Unknown (2008)

A randomized trial with prophylactic cranial irradiation published in 1999 demonstrated an improvement of 5-year-overall-survival for complete responders (at least at distant levels) receiving additional thoracic radiochemotherapy compared to chemotherapy alone (9. 1\% vs. 3. 7\%). ❋ Unknown (2008)
