We investigated the association of rs1056628 and rs17576 polymorphisms with breast cancer (BC) relapse in a cohort of prospectively observed BC patients. The polymorphisms were genotyped in 200 BC subjects with(case) and without(control) relapse by Tetra-primer Amplification Refractory Mutation System-Polymerase Chain Reaction (T-ARMS-PCR) method. A significant association was found between the rs1056628C allele and increased risk of BC relapse (OR = 1.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of a proposed bevacizumab biosimilar to those of the reference product in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).
Methods: This Phase III, multicenter, randomized, double-blind (patient- and assessor-blind), active-controlled, 2-armed, parallel-group, noninferiority trial was conducted in patients with histologically verified colorectal cancer with evidence of at least 1 metastasis. Patients with mCRC were randomized 2:1 to receive 5 mg/kg IV of either study drug plus FOLFIRI-3 (with repeated irinotecan 100 mg/m 60-min infusion on day 3) or the reference drug plus FOLFIRI-3 every 2 weeks for 1 year.
