Nearly all patients who die from breast cancer die from the consequences of distant metastases. Adjuvant chemotherapy, either administered before or after surgery, has been shown to reduce the risk of metastases and death. Four main groups of…
The main goal of neoadjuvant therapy should be a pathological complete response (pCR), because pCR more accurately predicts improved patient outcome and prolonged survival. In the present study, pathological response will be evaluated by The Miller…
During the course of the study 2 randomisation questions will be adressed. Both questions concern patients in the high risk group.Randomisation question 1: Will the addition of Doxorubicin to the first 4 standard IVA chemotherapy courses lead to a…
Striatal D2 receptor availability will be ascertained in 30 recent abstinent cocaine addicts by [123I]IBZM SPECT. In addition, we will measure drug craving and impulsivity with questionnaires, fMRI/EEG using cue-reactivity and impulsivity paradigms…
We expect to finalize the current phase I study by the May 2008 demonstrating that injection of tumor lysate-pulsed autologous DCs injected in patients with MM after chemotherapy is safe and well tolerated with induction of immune responses. New…
The overall aim of the CASA trial is to investigate the role of PLD as adjuvantchemotherapy for older postmenopausal women for whom chemotherapy is indicated, but standard regimens, derived from trials in younger women, are assumed to be too toxic…
Primary objectives:- To improve the clinical effectiveness of the p53 synthetic long peptides vaccine by pre-administration of cyclophosphamide.- To evaluate the immunogenicity of a p53 synthetic long peptide vaccine when preceded by administration…
We estimate that the anthracycline and cyclophosphamide dose could be significantly (>=15%) increased in at least 15% of ACC-treated patients. Therefore, in order to diminish the risk of under-dosing ACC, we aim to develop a neutrophil-guided…
This study will investigate whether oligometastatic triple negative or BRCA1/2 related breast cancer can be treated effectively with a multimodality approach including induction chemotherapy, and whether high dose alkylating chemotherapy can improve…
