Predictive factors for the development of capecitabine-induced hand-foot syndrome: a retrospective observational cohort study.

Background: Capecitabine-induced hand-foot syndrome (HFS) is a common condition that significantly affects patients' quality of life. The exact underlying mechanisms are currently not clearly understood. Therefore, the study of predictive factors for HFS is of critical importance.

Efficacy of Short Hydration for Intermediate to High-Dose Cisplatin-Based Chemotherapy for Outpatients: SHORTCIS Trial.

Objective: Supporting data exists concerning short hydration to prevent cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. However, only a few studies exist. Further, data remains limited, comprising mostly retrospective data.

Prognostic Value of the Pre-Treatment Prognostic Nutritional Index for Patients with Unresectable Locally-Advanced and Advanced Stage Upper Gastrointestinal Tract Cancer.

Purpose: The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is used to distinguish immune-nutritional status. Previous studies have shown that it is significantly associated with patient outcomes for various malignancies. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic impact of PNI in patients with unresectable locally-advanced and advanced stage upper gastrointestinal tract cancer, including esophageal cancer and gastric cancer.

Efficacy of Premedication Protocol without Ranitidine for Taxane Regimen: A Multicenter Non-Randomized Historical Controlled Study.

Objective: To study the efficacy of the prevention of immediate hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs) from omitting ranitidine in the premedication protocol in patients who had chemotherapy with taxane regimen.

Methods: This was a Multicenter, Ambispective Non-Randomized Historical Controlled Cohort Study. The incidence of HSRs in the patients who had the modified premedication without ranitidine were collected to compare with the historical group who had the standard premedication protocol with ranitidine.

Developing a Prediction Score for the Diagnosis of Malignant Pleural Effusion: MPE Score.

Background: The objective of this study was to develop a diagnostic prediction model for diagnosis of malignant pleural effusion (MPE) from pleural fluid cytology (MPE score).

Materials And Methods: Retrospective analysis of pleural fluid cytology was conducted in patients with MPE between 2018 and 2020. Multivariable logistic regression was used to explore the potential predictors.

Prognostic Impact of the Advanced Lung Cancer Inflammation Index (ALI) in Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Treated with First Line Chemotherapy.

Background: The advanced lung cancer inflammation index (ALI) has been reported to predict the overall survival in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, no previous studies have examined the prognostic significance of ALI in metastatic NSCLC treated with first line chemotherapy. The objective of this study was to explore the relationship between ALI and the prognosis of metastatic NSCLC treated with first line chemotherapy.
