Alone; Francine Pascal; 2002; 9780743452830; 240 pages; Simon and Schuster, 2002 Phase III study of pemetrexed in combination with cisplatin versus cisplatin alone in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma, purpose: Patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma, a rapidly progressing malignancy with a median survival time of 6 to 9 months, have previously responded poorly to chemotherapy. We conducted a phase III trial to determine whether treatment with. Results of the ATAC (Arimidex, Tamoxifen, Alone or in Combination) trial after completion of 5 years' adjuvant treatment for breast cancer, the standard adjuvant endocrine treatment for postmenopausal women with hormone-receptor-positive localised breast cancer is 5 years of tamoxifen, but recurrences and side-effects restrict its usefulness. The aromatase inhibitor anastrozole was compared with. Perioperative chemotherapy versus surgery alone for resectable gastroesophageal cancer, background A regimen of epirubicin, cisplatin, and infused fluorouracil (ECF) improves survival among patients with incurable locally advanced or metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma. We assessed whether the addition of a perioperative regimen. Anastrozole alone or in combination with tamoxifen versus tamoxifen alone for adjuvant treatment of postmenopausal women with early breast cancer: first results of, bACKGROUND: In the adjuvant setting, tamoxifen is the established treatment for postmenopausal women with hormone-sensitive breast cancer. However, it is associated with several side-effects including endometrial cancer and thromboembolic disorders. Peter J. Richerson and Robert Boyd, Not by Genes Alone: How Culture Transformed Human Evolution, culture is crucial for understanding human behavior. People acquire beliefs and values from people around them, and you can't explain human behavior without taking this reality into account'(p. 3). The role of culture in the determination of human behavior, how culture. Bowling alone: The collapse and revival of American community, bOWLING ALONE warns Americans that their stock of social capital, the very fabric of their connections with each other, has been accelerating down. Putnam describes the resulting impoverishment of their lives and communities. Drawing on evidence that includes nearly. Trastuzumab in combination with chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone for treatment of HER2-positive advanced gastric or gastro-oesophageal junction cancer, background Trastuzumab, a monoclonal antibody against human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2; also known as ERBB2), was investigated in combination with chemotherapy for first-line treatment of HER2-positive advanced gastric or gastro. Double Exchange Alone Does Not Explain the Resistivity of, abstract The La 1− x Sr x MnO 3 system with 0.2≲ x≲ 0.4 has traditionally been modeled with a double-exchange Hamiltonian in which it is assumed that the only relevant physics is the tendency of carrier hopping to line up neighboring spins. We present a solution. Effects of radiotherapy with concomitant and adjuvant temozolomide versus radiotherapy alone on survival in glioblastoma in a randomised phase III study: 5-year, background In 2004, a randomised phase III trial by the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) and National Cancer Institute of Canada Clinical Trials Group (NCIC) reported improved median and 2-year survival for patients with. Chemoradiotherapy after surgery compared with surgery alone for adenocarcinoma of the stomach or gastroesophageal junction, background Surgical resection of adenocarcinoma of the stomach is curative in less than 40 percent of cases. We investigated the effect of surgery plus postoperative (adjuvant) chemoradiotherapy on the survival of patients with resectable adenocarcinoma. Concurrent chemotherapy and pelvic radiation therapy compared with pelvic radiation therapy alone as adjuvant therapy after radical surgery in high-risk earlystage, this study investigated the addition of cisplatin-based chemotherapy to standard postoperative radiation therapy in the treatment of women at high risk of recurrence after radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer. Two hundred forty-three patients with stage.

CHOP chemotherapy plus rituximab compared with CHOP alone in elderly patients with diffuse large-B-cell lymphoma, background The standard treatment for patients with diffuse large-B-cell lymphoma is cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP). Rituximab, a chimeric monoclonal antibody against the CD20 B-cell antigen, has therapeutic activity in diffuse. Erlotinib plus gemcitabine compared with gemcitabine alone in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer: a phase III trial of the National Cancer Institute of, purpose Patients with advanced pancreatic cancer have a poor prognosis and there have been no improvements in survival since the introduction of gemcitabine in 1996. Pancreatic tumors often overexpress human epidermal growth factor receptor type 1 (HER1/EGFR. Irinotecan combined with fluorouracil compared with fluorouracil alone as first-line treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer: a multicentre randomised trial, background Irinotecan is active against colorectal cancer in patients whose disease is refractory to fluorouracil. We investigated the efficacy of these two agents combined for first-line treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer. Methods 387 patients previously untreated. Don't go it alone: Alliance network composition and startups' performance in Canadian biotechnology, we combine theory and research on alliance networks and on new firms to investigate the impact of variation in startups' alliance network composition on their early performance. We hypothesize that startups can enhance their early performance by 1) establishing alliances. Interferon alfa-2b alone or in combination with ribavirin as initial treatment for chronic hepatitis C, background Only 15 to 20 percent of patients with chronic hepatitis C have a sustained virologic response to interferon therapy. We compared the efficacy and safety of recombinant interferon alfa-2b alone with those of a combination of interferon alfa-2b. Paclitaxel-carboplatin alone or with bevacizumab for non-small-cell lung cancer, background Bevacizumab, a monoclonal antibody against vascular endothelial growth factor, has been shown to benefit patients with a variety of cancers. Methods Between July 2001 and April 2004, the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) conducted.
