Combined modality therapy of acute lymphocytic leukemia

Cancer, 1975
The progressive improvement in the prognosis of acute lymphocytic leukemia has been a result of two major developments: 1) the more efficient use of chemotherapeutic agents, particularly the use of combinations of agents and the discovery that agents effective at one stage of disease may be inappropriate at another stage, and 2) the prevention with ...

Postoperative Adjuvant Combined Modality Therapy

2001
Significant advances have been made in the adjuvant management of resectable rectal cancer during the 1990s. In patients with clinically resectable disease, pelvic radiation therapy decreases local recurrence. The addition of systemic chemotherapy further decreases local recurrence and improves survival.

Taxanes in Combined Modality Therapy

2003
The taxanes are a relatively new group of plant-derived chemotherapeutic agents that have been studied quite extensively in both preclinical studies and in clinical trials. This group of drugs, which includes paclitaxel (Taxol) and docetaxel (Taxotere), act as mitotic spindle inhibitors through their promotion of microtubule assembly and retardation of

Optimizing combined modality therapy for Hodgkin’s disease

International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 2003
cured of their Hodgkin’s disease. Of the 20%–25% who do relapse, the majority of these are cured with subsequent salvage programs employing either chemotherapy alone or combined modality therapy. The problem, of course, is what happens beyond 10 years. Patients treated with full-dose subtotal nodal radiotherapy, i.e., doses in the range of 40 Gy, will ...

Combined modality therapy in NSCLC.

Annals of oncology : official journal of the European Society for Medical Oncology, 2001
Combined modality treatment has 'come out of age' and increasingly represents standard of care for a rapidly growing number of patients in locally advanced stages of NSCLC. Modern progress of treatment techniques as well as possibilities for supportive interventions will lead to lesser treatment toxicities, better patient's compliance to treatment ...

Combining radiation therapy with other treatment modalities.

Seminars in veterinary medicine and surgery (small animal), 1995
Combining treatment modalities is indicated when single modality treatment does not result in adequate tumor control, or if the cosmetic or functional outcome of single modality treatment is less than desirable. The combination of surgery and radiation has proven useful in the treatment of both human and veterinary patients.

Taxanes in combined modality therapy for solid tumors

Critical Reviews in Oncology/Hematology, 2001
The taxanes, paclitaxel and docetaxel, are novel antimitotic agents that are under extensive investigation in clinical trials. Both taxanes have demonstrated significant activity against many solid tumors as single agents and in combination with other chemotherapeutic agents.
