Article Synopsis
  • ModraDoc006 is an oral version of docetaxel aimed at treating metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) when combined with ritonavir, and its efficacy and safety were tested against standard intravenous docetaxel in a phase II trial.
  • The study involved 103 chemotherapy-naïve mCRPC patients who were randomly assigned to receive either intravascular docetaxel or the oral ModraDoc006/r for comparison, measuring the primary outcome of radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS).
  • The results showed no significant difference in rPFS between the two treatments, but ModraDoc006/r had a better safety profile with fewer and milder side effects, suggesting it may be

Objectives: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) stimulate antitumor immune responses and, in parallel, they might trigger autoimmune and other immunopathological mechanisms eventually leading to immune-related adverse events (irAE). In our study, we assessed patients with malignancies who underwent anti-PD-1 treatment at the University of Debrecen, Clinical Center.

Patients And Methods: Between June 2017 and May 2021, 207 patients started ICI treatment at our university.

The vast majority of hormone positive and HER2 negative advanced breast cancers can be controlled well by endocrine therapy combined with the groundbreaking use of CDK4/6 inhibitors in the metastatic first-line setting. Approximately 50%-60% of these patients have "bone-only" metastatic disease. In oligometastatic cases or if a certain number of uncontrolled lesions develop during the aforementioned therapy, ablative radiotherapy can be delivered or, in symptomatic cases, urgent irradiation is needed with palliative intent.

Background: Breast cancer is the leading cancer in women globally. Despite decreasing mortality rates, largely due to early detection and modern treatment, the effectiveness of screening on long-term survival outcomes remains unclear.

Aims: This study evaluates the 15-year survival outcomes of a national breast cancer screening program initiated in Hungary in 2002.

Given the rising prevalence of lipid metabolic disorders and malignant diseases, we aimed to establish an in vivo hypercholesterinaemic tumour-bearing rat model for the induction and assessment of these conditions. A normal standard CRLT/N, 2 (baseline),- or 4 (2 + 2, pretreated)-week-long butter and cholesterol rich (BCR) diet was applied to mesoblastic nephroma (Ne/De) and myelomonoblastic leukaemia (My1/De) tumour-bearing and healthy control Long—Evans and Fischer 344 rats. The beginning of chow administration started in parallel with tumour induction and the 2 weeks of pre-transplantation in the baseline and pretreated groups, respectively.
