Real-world data on Len/Dex combination at second-line therapy of multiple myeloma: treatment at biochemical relapse is a significant prognostic factor for progression-free survival.

We evaluated progression-free survival (PFS) rate of patients treated with lenalidomide/dexamethasone (Len/Dex), the efficacy of the combination, and the prognostic significance of treatment at biochemical vs. clinical relapse on PFS in 207 consecutive myeloma patients treated with Len/Dex in second line, according to routine clinical practice in Greece. First-line treatment included bortezomib-based (63.

Combined androgen blockade-induced anemia in prostate cancer patients without bone involvement.

Background: To determine the onset and extent of combined androgen blockade (CAB)-induced anemia in prostate cancer patients without bone involvement.

Patients And Methods: Forty-two patients with biopsy-proven prostatic adenocarcinoma [26 with stage C (T3N0M0) and 16 with stage D1 (T3N1M0)] were included in this study. All patients received CAB [leuprolide acetate (LHRH-A) 3.

A randomized trial comparing intensified CNOP vs. CHOP in patients with aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

The standard CHOP regimen may cure 30-40% of patients with advanced aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (ANHL). Mitoxantrone is an anthracenedione, which is active in NHL and its toxicity profile may be more favorable than doxorubicin with respect to alopecia, mucositis and cardiotoxicity. This study was designed to compare the effectiveness of an escalated dose of mitoxantrone with that of standard doxorubicin, used in the CHOP regimen in patients with ANHL.
