We have previously reported on the significant advantages of PET in the staging and surgical care of patients with lung cancer. The present study adds further support for an additional prognostic role for PET in the management of thoracic malignancy as determined by the amount of labelled-FDG taken up by the primary lesion.
Single-agent ifosfamide possesses significant activity against invasive thymoma and is comparable to currently used combination regimens. The inclusion of ifosfamide in combination therapy, particularly in place of cyclophosphamide in regimens such as cisplatin, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide, needs to be evaluated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
