Treatment of osteosarcoma at first recurrence after contemporary therapy
Aim: To determine the outcome for patients with recurrent OS who were treated at MSKCC at the time of first recurrence. Conclusions: At first recurrence, 22 of 31 patients achieved a CR2 with aggressive surgery and chemotherapy. The majority of these patients subsequently developed a disease recurrence. Patients appeared to…

Tumour regression & tissue repair when ZOL is combined with IFO in rat osteosarcoma
Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of the combination of zoledronic acid (ZOL) with ifosfamide (IFO) on local tumor growth, histologic response, and animal survival using a rat-transplantable model of osteosarcoma. Conclusions: This is the first report of the anti-bone resorption and antitumoral activities of zoledronic acid in a rat model…

IMVP-16/Pd followed by HDC/ASCT for relapsed peripheral T-cell lymphomas
Aim: To analyse the treatment outcome of IMVP-16/Pd (ifosfamide, methotrexate, etoposide and prednisone) followed by high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (HDC/ASCT) for patients with peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) who were previously treated with CHOP. Conclusions: These results indicate that IMVP-16/Pd followed by HDC/ASCT appears to be an effective…

Phase 2 study of DICb in adv. NSCLC
Aim: To test the tolerability and activity of a novel regimen combining docetaxel instead of paclitaxel and carboplatin instead of cisplatin with ifosfamide (DICb) in the outpatient setting in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Conclusions: In the present phase II study the DICb combination yielded important activity and…

CEBOPP/VIML Followed by Radiotherapy for Intermediate- and Advanced-Stage HD
Aim: To improve treatment results and minimize acute and late toxicity in patients (pts) with intermediate- or advanced-stage Hodgkin’s disease. A combined modality treatment consisting of a response-adapted chemotherapy (CTX) and radiotherapy (RTX) was used. Conclusions: CEBOPP/VIML followed by RTX appears to be highly effective in achieving long-term…

Treatment Stratification According to Early Response to Mega-CHOP
Aim: To assess the efficacy of PBSCT in patients with poor prognosis aggressive NHL according to previous early response to Mega-CHOP evaluated with CT & Ga67S. Those in CR (CT scan, Ga67S negative) or uCR (CT scan positive, Ga67S negative) received a 4th Mega-CHOP followed by BEAM and PBSCT. Those…

Comparison between Cy then G-CSF and IVE Plus G-CSF in Haematological Malignancies
Aim: To retrospectively compare the PBPC yields of harvests after IVE with those of standard Cy/G-CSF priming. Conclusions: Priming with IVE yields higher PBPC numbers than cyclophosphamide, patients requiring fewer pheresis, therefore reducing the cost. Official Title A Retrospective Comparison between Cyclophosphamide (Cy) Followed by G-CSF, and…
