A rapid and systematic review of the clinical effectiveness and cost effectiveness of gemcitabine for the treatment of pancreatic cancer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Background Pancreatic cancer is the eighth most common cancer in the UK and the sixth most common cause of cancer death; in 1998, 3198 men and 3364 women died from this condition. In an average health authority with a population of 500,000, there

A randomized multi-center phase II trial of the angiogenesis inhibitor Cilengitide (EMD 121974) and gemcitabine compared with gemcitabine alone in advanced unresectable pancreatic cancer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Background Anti-angiogenic treatment is believed to have at least cystostatic effects in highly vascularized tumours like pancreatic cancer. In this study, the treatment effects of the angiogenesis inhibitor Cilengitide and gemcitabine were compared with

Understanding cisplatin resistance using cellular models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Many mechanisms of cisplatin resistance have been proposed from studies of cellular models of resistance including changes in cellular drug accumulation, detoxification of the drug, inhibition of apoptosis and repair of the DNA adducts.

Targeting the Microenvironment to Overcome Gemcitabine Resistance in Pancreatic Cancer [PDF]

open access: yesCancer Research, 2020
Abstract Pancreatic cancer is characterized by an extensive and complex microenvironment, and is resistant to both chemotherapy and immune checkpoint blockade. The study by Principe and colleagues in this issue of Cancer Research proposes a combinatorial approach based on targeting the very mechanisms of resistance to gemcitabine, a ...

Gemcitabine-induced Gli-dependent activation of hedgehog pathway resists to the treatment of urothelial carcinoma cells.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
Patients with urothelial carcinoma (UC) experience gemcitabine resistance is a critical issue. The role of hedgehog pathway in the problem was explored.

Are serial CA 19-9 kinetics helpful in predicting survival in patients with advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer treated with gemcitabine and cisplatin? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Background: Serial kinetics of serum CA 19-9 levels have been reported to reflect response and survival in patients with pancreatic cancer undergoing surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy.

Oral capecitabine in gemcitabine-pretreated patients with advanced pancreatic cancer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Objective: To date, no standard regimen for salvage chemotherapy after gemcitabine (Gem) failure has been defined for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer (PC). Oral capecitabine (Cap) has shown promising activity in first-line chemotherapy trials in

Use of low-dose combined therapy with gemcitabine and paclitaxel for advanced urothelial cancer patients with resistance to cisplatin-containing therapy: a retrospective analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Purpose The prognosis of patients with advanced and recurrent urothelial cancer (UC) is poor. Although cisplatin (CDDP)-containing chemotherapy is the most effective regimen in these patients, there is no other established chemotherapeutic regimen.

Gemcitabine and anthracyclines in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer

open access: yesAnnals of Oncology, 2006
Most of the patients with advanced ovarian cancer will recur after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy and need additional treatment. Gemcitabine (G) and Anthracyclines are active in this setting and their combination has shown synergistic antiproliferative activity in vitro, due to different mechanisms of action and non-overlapping toxicities.In ...

Gemcitabine plus carboplatin versus mitomycin, ifosfamide, and cisplatin in patients with stage IIIB or IV non-small-cell lung cancer: a phase III randomized study of the London Lung Cancer Group [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Purpose: This phase III randomized trial compared two chemotherapy regimens, gemcitabine plus carboplatin and mitomycin, ifosfamide, and cisplatin, in chemotherapy-naive patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
