Both DXM and BEV reduce cerebral edema, however, DXM has been shown to induce cytokine cascades which could interfere with cytotoxic therapy. We investigated whether DXM would reduce survival of GBM patients in the setting of concurrent TMZ and BEV administration. Methods We reviewed the treatment ...
Methods: We reviewed the treatment of all 73 patients with GBM who received definitive therapy at our institution from 2005 to 2013 with RT (60 Gy) delivered with concurrent daily TMZ (75 mg/m2). Of these, 34 patients also were treated with concurrent BEV (10 mg/kg every two weeks). ...
143 Pilot study of concurrent weekly irinotecan (CPT-11) and daily carboplatin (CBDCA) with thoracic radiation therapy (TRT) in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)Irinotecan has appeared to have significant activity against previously treated and untreated small-cell lung cancer (...
