Efficacy and Safety of Nanosomal Docetaxel Lipid Suspension (NDLS) versus Conventional Docetaxel as Neoadjuvant and Adjuvant Therapy for Primary Operable Breast Cancer.

Objective: Nanosomal docetaxel lipid suspension (NDLS) is a novel formulation developed to overcome toxicity issues caused by excipients (polysorbate 80 and ethanol) present in commercially available docetaxel formulation. We conducted a prospective, observational study to compare the outcomes of nanosomal docetaxel lipid suspension (NDLS)-based versus conventional docetaxel-based chemotherapy in primary operable breast cancer.

Methods: Sixty adult women with newly diagnosed stage IIb-III breast cancer were included.

Efficacy and Safety of Nanosomal Docetaxel Lipid Suspension-Based Chemotherapy in Sarcoma: A Multicenter, Retrospective Study.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of nanosomal docetaxel lipid suspension (NDLS, DoceAqualip) based chemotherapy in patients with sarcoma.

Methods: In this retrospective, multicenter (6 centers), observational study, we analyzed the medical charts of adult patients of either sex, who were treated with NDLS (75 mg/m in 3-weekly cycles) based chemotherapy for the treatment of sarcoma. The efficacy outcomes were overall response rate (ORR: complete response (CR) + partial response (PR)) and disease control rate (DCR: CR + PR + stable disease (SD)) in patients who received NDLS-based chemotherapy in neoadjuvant and metastatic settings.

Association of MDR1 gene (C3435T) polymorphism and gene expression profiling in lung cancer patients treated with platinum-based chemotherapy.

Introduction: Chemotherapy is the standard and recommended treatment for lung cancer apart from surgery and radiotherapy. Chemotherapy is administered as mono-agents or as combination therapy. In this study, we examined the role of MDR1 C3435T polymorphisms in lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
