Improving the quality of life during chemotherapy for advanced breast cancer. A comparison of intermittent and continuous treatment strategies.

TL;DR: Continuous chemotherapy is better than intermittent chemotherapy for advanced breast cancer, as tested, and changes in the quality of life were independent prognostic factors in proportional-hazards models of subsequent survival.
Journal ArticleDOI

Initial paclitaxel improves outcome compared with CMFP combination chemotherapy as front-line therapy in untreated metastatic breast cancer.

TL;DR: Initial paclitaxel was associated with significantly less myelosuppression and fewer infections, with longer survival and similar quality of life and control of metastatic breast cancer compared with CMFP.
Journal ArticleDOI

Australia's winter with the 2009 pandemic influenza A (H1N1) virus.

TL;DR: Key lessons from Australia's experience with the spread of H1N1 suggest that important elements of a response were a national coordination of efforts and the use and modification of a national pandemic plan framework.
Journal ArticleDOI

Measurement of cremophor EL following taxol: plasma levels sufficient to reverse drug exclusion mediated by the multidrug-resistant phenotype.

TL;DR: The efficacy of paclitaxel against some tumors may be aided by its administration in a vehicle solution containing Cremophor in quantities that reach concentrations in the plasma sufficient to reverse multidrug resistance of neoplastic cells.
