Journal ArticleDOI

Concomitant radiotherapy and chemotherapy is superior to radiotherapy alone in the treatment of locally advanced anal cancer: results of a phase III randomized trial of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Radiotherapy and Gastrointestinal Cooperative Groups.

TL;DR: The concomitant use of radiotherapy and chemotherapy resulted in a significantly improved locoregional control rate and a reduction of the need for colostomy in patients with locally advanced anal cancer without a significant increase in late side effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phase III Randomized Trial of Amifostine as a Radioprotector in Head and Neck Cancer

TL;DR: With and without amifostine, 2-year local-regional control, disease-free survival, and overall survival were 58% versus 63, 53% versus 57%, and 71% versus 66%, respectively, while Antitumor treatment efficacy was preserved.
Journal ArticleDOI

Full-dose reirradiation for unresectable head and neck carcinoma: experience at the Gustave-Roussy Institute in a series of 169 patients.

TL;DR: Full-dose reirradiation combined with chemotherapy was feasible in patients with inoperable HNC, and the incidence and severity of late toxicity was markedly increased in comparison to that observed after the first irradiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

BCR-ABL down-regulates the DNA repair protein DNA-PKcs.

TL;DR: The conjunction of a major DNA repair deficiency and a resistance to apoptosis, both induced by BCR-ABL, provides a new mechanism to explain how secondary genetic alterations can accumulate in CML, eventually leading to blast crisis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-Term Disease-Free Survivors in Metastatic Undifferentiated Carcinoma of Nasopharyngeal Type

TL;DR: The data support a curative role for chemotherapy in metastatic UCNT and are a major incentive to continue research for better combinations to increase the percentage of patients with metastaticUCNT who attain complete responses and long-term survival.
