Long-term Remission Over Six Years for a Patient with Recurrent Glioblastoma Treated with Cediranib/Lomustine.

Cediranib is an orally available, pan-VEGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor. A previous Phase III study of patients with recurrent glioblastoma treated with this drug did not meet the primary end of progressive-free survival (PFS). We identified one patient, a 57-year-old...

Detection and screening of small molecule agents for overcoming Sorafenib resistance of hepatocellular carcinoma: a bioinformatics study.

International journal of clinical and experimental medicine

Lv J, Zhu B, Zhang L, Xie Q, Zhuo W.
PMID: 25932168
Int J Clin Exp Med. 2015 Feb 15;8(2):2317-25. eCollection 2015.

Sorafenib, a novel orally-available multikinase inhibitor blocking several crucial oncogenic signaling pathways, presented survival benefits and became the first-line drug for treatment of patients with Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the acquired resistance to Sorafenib resulted in limited benefits. In...

Anaplastic oligodendroglioma: advances and treatment options.

Current treatment options in neurology

McNamara MG, Sahebjam S, Mason WP.
PMID: 23344797
Curr Treat Options Neurol. 2013 Jun;15(3):289-301. doi: 10.1007/s11940-013-0218-9.

OPINION STATEMENT: The optimal treatment strategy for anaplastic oligodendroglial (AO) tumors is evolving. Molecular profiling of oligodendrogliomas have shown distinctive genetic patterns characterized by combined deletions of chromosome arms 1p and 19q, O(6)-methylguanine methyltransferase (MGMT) methylation, and isocitrate dehydrogenase...
