Background: Little progress has been achieved in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with unresectable stage III disease and new drug schemes are warranted.
Material And Methods: In this open-label, single-arm, phase II trial 65 treatment-naïve stage III NSCLC deemed surgically unresectable by a multidisciplinary team were treated with 2 cycles of induction cisplatin at 80 mg/m every 21 days plus metronomic oral vinorelbine at 50 mg/day every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. During the concomitant treatment with thoracic radiotherapy cisplatin was administered in the same manner but oral vinorelbine was reduced to 30 mg/day.

Patients received pazopanib until disease progression, death, or unacceptable toxicity.

All melanoma suspected patients must be confirmed histologically and resected. Sentinel node biopsy must be done when tumor is over 1 mm or if less with high-risk factors. Adjuvant therapy with interferon could be offered for patients with high-risk melanoma and in selected cases radiotherapy can be added.

This study was designed to estimate the prevalence of HLA-B*57:01 allele in Argentinean HIV-1 infected patients. We analyzed the presence of HLA-B*57:01 allele in 1646 HIV-1 infected patients from different regions of Argentina.
