PROutine: a feasibility study assessing surveillance of electronic patient reported outcomes and adherence via smartphone app in advanced cancer.

Background: In advanced cancer, quality of life (QoL) is a major treatment goal. In order to achieve this, the identification of suffering by screening for patient-reported-outcomes (PROs, i.e.

Anaplastic pelvic carcinoma secondary to low-grade endometrial carcinoma.

Background: Low-grade endometrial carcinoma has an excellent prognosis. The risk of secondary cancer after endometrial carcinoma is moderately increased and is mostly related to the field of postoperative radiation (small intestine, colon, vagina, and urinary bladder). Anaplastic (undifferentiated) pelvic carcinoma (APC) is rare and probably under-reported.

Randomized, phase II, placebo-controlled, double-blind study with and without enzastaurin in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin as first-line treatment followed by maintenance treatment in advanced ovarian cancer.

Purpose: Enzastaurin is an oral serine/threonine kinase inhibitor antitumor agent. Our phase II trial tested the efficacy and safety of enzastaurin added to a standard carboplatin/paclitaxel chemotherapy regimen in patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer.

Patients And Methods: This was a randomized, placebo-controlled study in patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage IIB to IV ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal epithelial carcinoma.

A randomized phase II non-comparative study of pemetrexed‑carboplatin and gemcitabine‑vinorelbine in anthracycline- and taxane-pretreated advanced breast cancer patients.

Pemetrexed-carboplatin and gemcitabine‑vinorelbine combination therapies were efficacious in phase II and phase III studies as first-line breast cancer treatment. Thus, Arm A and Arm B combinations were investigated in patients pretreated with anthracycline and taxanes. Women with advanced breast cancer, with ≥1 measurable lesion per RECIST, were stratified by line of treatment (1st, 2nd), visceral disease (yes/no), ECOG PS (0-1 vs.

Papillary-serous adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix during tamoxifen therapy after bilateral breast cancer.

Background: Papillary-serous adenocarcinoma (PSCC) is a very rare subtype of cervical cancer. To our knowledge, this is the first report on PSCC of the uterine cervix following bilateral breast cancer.

Case Report: A 61-year-old Caucasian woman underwent conserving surgery of both breasts at the age of 57 years, because of bilateral invasive ductal carcinoma.
