Journal ArticleDOI
Randomized Phase II Trial of Concurrent Cisplatin-Radiotherapy With or Without Neoadjuvant Docetaxel and Cisplatin in Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
Edwin P. Hui,Brigette B.Y. Ma,Sing F. Leung,Ann D. King,Frankie Mo,Michael K. Kam,Brian K.H. Yu,Samuel K. Chiu,Wing H. Kwan,Rosalie Ho,Iris H.S. Chan,Anil T. Ahuja,Benny Zee,Anthony T.C. Chan +13 more
TL;DR: Neoadjuvant docetaxel-cisplatin followed by CRT was well tolerated with a manageable toxicity profile that allowed subsequent delivery of full-dose CRT and preliminary results suggested a positive impact on survival.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hepatitis B virus reactivation in breast cancer patients receiving cytotoxic chemotherapy: A prospective study
Winnie Yeo,Paul K.S. Chan,Pun Hui,Wing M. Ho,Kwok Chi Lam,Wing H. Kwan,Sheng Zhong,Philip J. Johnson +7 more
TL;DR: Serial monitoring of HBV DNA, in addition to liver function, increases the sensitivity of diagnosing HBV reactivation, and helps explain some cases that would otherwise be labeled as “cryptogenic hepatitis,” for which concomitantHBV DNA measured at the time of hepatitis was undetectable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship between pretreatment level of plasma Epstein-Barr virus DNA, tumor burden, and metabolic activity in advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma
Brigette B.Y. Ma,Ann D. King,Y.M. Dennis Lo,Y.Y. Yau,Benny Zee,Edwin P. Hui,Sing F. Leung,Frankie Mo,Michael K. Kam,Anil T. Ahuja,Wing H. Kwan,Anthony T.C. Chan +11 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that cell-free plasma EBV DNA is a marker of tumor burden in EBV-related NPC supports the hypothesis that pEBV DNA reflects tumor burden and metabolic activity in NPC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multimodality treatment of primary lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the lung
Anthony T.C. Chan,Peter M.L. Teo,Kwok Chi Lam,Wing Y. Chan,John H. S. Chow,Anthony P. C. Yim,Tony S. K. Mok,Wing H. Kwan,Thomas W. T. Leung,Philip J. Johnson +9 more
TL;DR: Lymphoepithelioma‐like carcinoma (LELC) of the lung occurs at a higher frequency in Asian compared with Western patients and its association with Epstein‐Barr virus varies among different ethnic groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prospective validation of serum CYFRA 21-1, β-2-microglobulin, and ferritin levels as prognostic markers in patients with nonmetastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma undergoing radiotherapy
Brigette B.Y. Ma,Sing F. Leungm,Edwin P. Hui,Frankie Mo,Wing H. Kwan,Benny Zee,Joyce Yuen,Anthony T.C. Chan +7 more
TL;DR: Patients with undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma have elevated serum levels of CYFRA 21‐1 (CYFRA), ferritin, and β‐2‐microglobulin (β2M) compared with healthy control individuals, and the prognostic value of these markers has never been validated prospectively.
