[Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. GISTs are generally resistant to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The understanding of pathology at molecular level promised the development of novel treatment modalities. KIT and PDGFRA gene mutations play an important role in the pathogenesis of GIST. IMutational analysis should be considered as standard practice during the diagnostic work-up, since it has a predictive value for... tovább »
[Bone is the most common site of metastatic disease in many solid tumours, mainly in breast, prostate and lung cancer. Patients with bone metastases are at risk for skeletal-related events such as bone pain, pathological fractures requiring surgery and/or radiation to bone lesions, hypercalcemia, and spinal cord compression. Skeletal-related events are major source of morbidity for cancer patients and may be associated with negative impact on quality of life and survival. Bisphosphonates... tovább »
[Our immune system fi ghts effectively against infections, but the same activity exists against invading cancer cells, as well. However, malignant tumors are able to escape from these mechanisms; therefore tumor cells become unrecognizable for the immune system. Immuno-oncology is a novel and innovative discipline, focusing on a long-term purpose: to enhance the immune-response against malignancies. The main goal is to stimulate the immune system to properly recognize and destroy malignant... tovább »
[Bone metastases (BMs) are common in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and approximately in 30% of patients with metastatic RCC (mRCC) will develop. Inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has been pursued as a therapeutic target in the treatment of metastatic clear cell RCC (mRCC). Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), such as sunitinib, pazopanib, sorafenib, and axitinib, became the therapy of choice for patients with mRCC. Apart from the undisputed effi cacy of TKI in... tovább »
[Current clinical practice for breast cancer originates in “evidence based medicine”. In this, each tumor receives a therapy optimal for a given patient population - which might not be optimal for each individual patient. Multigenic tests determining expression of a set of genes can provide additional support in this decision process. Two such tests (MammaPrint and Prosigna) have already received FDA clearance. A number of additional test are commercially available (IHC4, Oncotype DX,... tovább »
[Emergent radiotherapy is requested in 3-5% of all malignancys either presenting as initial manifestation of an unknown tumor or due to the progression of a malignancy under treatment/follow up. In this situation high degree of suspicion, timely diagnosis and adequate treatment for tumor-related complications are crucial, in order to prevent life-threatening or disabling conditions, such as vena cava superior syndrome, spinal cord compression or increased intracranial pressure. After prompt... tovább »
