Journal ArticleDOI
A decade of EGFR inhibition in EGFR-mutated non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC): Old successes and future perspectives
Alessandro Russo,Tindara Franchina,Giuseppina Rosaria Rita Ricciardi,Antonio Picone,Giuseppa Ferraro,Mariangela Zanghì,Giuseppe Toscano,Antonio Giordano,Vincenzo Adamo +8 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the major progresses reported so far in the EGFR inhibition in this molecularly-selected subgroup of NSCLC patients, from the early successes with first generation EGFR TKIs, Erlotinib and Gefitinib, to the novel irreversible and mutant-selective inhibitors and ultimately the emerging challenges that the authors, in the next future, are called to deal with.
Journal ArticleDOI
NSCLC and HER2: between lights and shadows.
Giuseppina Rosaria Rita Ricciardi,Alessandro Russo,Tindara Franchina,Giuseppa Ferraro,Mariangela Zanghì,Antonio Picone,A. Scimone,Vincenzo Adamo +7 more
TL;DR: The aim of this article is to provide an overview of the role of HER2 dysregulation in NSCLC, trying to throw a light not only on the strengths but also the weaknesses of the studies conducted so far, generating a growing interest upon this oncogenic driver.
Journal ArticleDOI
Androgen Receptor (AR), E-Cadherin, and Ki-67 as Emerging Targets and Novel Prognostic Markers in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) Patients
Giuseppina Rosaria Rita Ricciardi,Barbara Adamo,Antonio Ieni,Luana Licata,Roberta Cardia,Giuseppa Ferraro,Tindara Franchina,Giovanni Tuccari,Vincenzo Adamo +8 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that the combination of AR and E-cadherin expression as well as Ki-67 status might be useful prognostic markers in TNBC and could play an interesting role to classify subgroups of TNBC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Paclitaxel and cisplatin in patients with recurrent and metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
Vincenzo Adamo,Giuseppa Ferraro,Stefano Pergolizzi,Concetta Sergi,Agata Laudani,Nicola Settineri,Elisabetta Alafaci,A. Scimone,Franca Spano,Gianluca Spitaleri +9 more
TL;DR: Paclitaxel plus cisplatin combination is an active regimen with an acceptable safety profile in recurrent/metastatic HNSCC and is a valid alternative to infusional fluorouracil (5FU)/cisplatin, according to the opinion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Safety and activity of trastuzumab-containing therapies for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer: our long-term clinical experience (GOIM study)
Vincenzo Adamo,Tindara Franchina,Barbara Adamo,Giuseppa Ferraro,Rosalba Rossello,M. Maugeri Sacca,Carla Scibilia,Maria Rosaria Valerio,Antonio Russo +8 more
TL;DR: Patients should benefit from continued trastuzumab therapy, as shown by the maintenance of (TTP) even beyond second-line treatment.
