...Published in International journal of clinical oncology
To evaluate the potential predictive value of the preoperative serum albumin to globulin ratio (AGR) for oncological outcomes in patients treated with radical prostatectomy (RP) for clinically non-metastatic prostate cancer (PCa). Pre-operative AGR was assessed in a multi-institutional cohort of 6041 patients treated with RP. Logistic regression an...
General rules for clinical and pathological studies on oral cancer (2nd edition): a synopsis.
...Published in International journal of clinical oncology
For doctors and other medical staff treating oral cancer, it is necessary to standardize the basic concepts and rules for oral cancer to achieve progress in its treatment, research, and diagnosis. Oral cancer is an integral part of head and neck cancer and is treated in accordance with the general rules for head and neck cancer. However, detailed r...
Pelvic reconstruction using an ice-cream cone prosthesis: correlation between the inserted length of the coned stem and ...
Published in International journal of clinical oncology
Acetabular reconstruction using an ice-cream cone prosthesis has been a reliable reconstruction option following pelvic tumour resection. However, it remains unknown which factor determines the success of this procedure. We aimed to determine risk factors for complications and functional loss in acetabular reconstruction using an ice-cream cone pro...
Prognostic impact of preoperative FDG-PET positive lymph nodes in lung cancer.
Published in International journal of clinical oncology
2-[18F] Fluoro-D-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) is an appropriate diagnostic procedure for staging lung cancer. However, accurate evaluation of lymph node (LN) metastases by PET is controversial owing to false-positive/-negative FDG uptake results. The prognostic significance of both false-negative and false-positive LNs on FDG...
Combination of TAS-102 and bevacizumab as third-line treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer: TAS-CC3 study.
...Published in International journal of clinical oncology
TAS-102 improved the overall survival of metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) patients with a median progression-free survival (PFS) in the RECOURSE trial. Subsequently, the combination of TAS-102 and bevacizumab was shown to extend the median PFS (C-TASK FORCE study). However, the study included patients who received second- and third-line treatment...
Clinicopathological features of radiological early malignant pleural mesothelioma with no apparent tumor or pleural thic...
Published in International journal of clinical oncology
We occasionally encounter malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) of no apparent tumor or pleural thickening that is radiological early MPM. This study aimed to examine the clinicopathological outcomes of radiological early MPM. Patients with MPM treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and planned surgery at the time of diagnosis between July 2004 and D...
Phase II study of a new multidisciplinary therapy using once every 3 week carboplatin plus dose-dense weekly paclitaxel ...
Published in International journal of clinical oncology
We proposed a novel treatment strategy, consisting of triweekly cisplatin plus dose-dense weekly paclitaxel before and after radical hysterectomy without adjuvant radiation therapy to treat locally advanced cervical cancer. However, cisplatin-related severe non-hematologic toxicities were frequent during this strategy. This study aimed to assess th...
Determination of risk factors for progression in patients with viable tumor at post-chemotherapy lymph node dissection d...
Published in International journal of clinical oncology
To assess the clinical variables that effect progression in patients with viable tumor after post-chemotherapy lymph node dissection due to disseminated non-seminomatous germ-cell tumors. We performed a retrospective analysis of 32 patients with viable tumor after PC-RPLND, operated between 1990 and 2016. Patients were categorized into 2 groups as ...
The prognostic role of prognostic nutritional index in nasopharyngeal carcinoma: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Published in International journal of clinical oncology
The prognostic utility of the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) has never been systematically reviewed. Therefore, we performed this meta-analysis. We performed comprehensive research via Embase, PubMed, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library. The pooled hazard ratios (HRs) and odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confiden...
