Journal Article

Gemcitabine: symptomatic benefit in advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

TL;DR: Gemcitabine has a role in the palliative treatment of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer and provides some survival benefit, but also reduces tumor-related symptoms and improves the performance status of patients receiving chemotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Optimization of Circulating Biomarkers of Obatoclax-Induced Cell Death in Patients with Small Cell Lung Cancer

TL;DR: The preclinical data and the absence of a peak in circulating caspase-cleaved CK18 in trial patients suggest suboptimal timing of blood sampling, which will need refinement in future trials incorporating obatoclax.
Book ChapterDOI

Chemotherapy in Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. Changes in Performance Status and Tumour-Related Symptoms

TL;DR: Meta-analyses of recent trials reveal a modest survival benefit for combination chemotherapy over best supportive care, although there is no strong evidence from randomized trials for superiority of combination over single-agent therapy.
