A New Method to Treat Chemotherapy-Induced Neuropathic Pain
If you are cancer patients and have to receive chemotherapy agents such as taxanes (paclitaxol- Taxol and docetaxel-Taxotere), vinca alkaloids (vinorelbine-Navelbine) and platinum compounds (cisplatin, carboplatin – Paraplatin and oxaliplatin – Eloxatin), it is likely that you might experience chemotherapy … Continue reading

Cetuximab Increases Survival in Patients with Lung Cancer with High EGFR Expression
Good news for patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC)! If you have NSCLC, you might like to ask your oncologist to check whether you have high expression of EGFR. Patients with high EGFR expression represented about 25 percent of people … Continue reading

New Monoclonal Antibodies Increased Survival in Lung Cancer Patients
A new study showed that non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who have high level of Met proteins in their tumor can have their survival increase three-fold by receiving experimental antibody MetMAb in combination with erlotinib (Tarceva). In the trial, 137 previously-treated … Continue reading

Yunzhi Slows Progression of Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a leading cause of cancer deaths, but most patients (over 69%) were diagnosed at advanced stages. Although polysaccharide peptides (PSP), isolated from the fungus Yunzhi (Coriolus versicolor), have been reported to have anti-tumor effects … Continue reading

Afatinib Extend Time to Tumor Progression in Advanced Lung Cancer
Currently, no treatment exists for lung cancer patients with epidermal growth-factor receptor (EGFR) mutation who have failed tyrosine kinase inhibitors, getifinib (Iressa) or erlotinib (Tarceva). However, an investigational drug, afatinib (BIBW 2992), was recently found to increase progression-free survival and … Continue reading
