Pueden cursar con un dolor intenso, considerado en algunos casos como dolor irruptivo oncológico (DIO). Actualmente no existen guías para el tratamiento de este tipo es...

Cisplatin plus docetaxel and 5 fluorouracil (DCF) neoadjuvant chemotherapy has proved to increase survival in locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) when added to chemoradiotherapy, but is associated with increased toxicities. We hypothesized if adding pegfilgastrim, could enhance the feasibility to administer DCF che...

Introduction: Retrospective study aimed to analyse the response of chemotherapy induced anaemia (CIA) to erythropoietic-stimulating factors (EPO) in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Method: Patients diagnosed with advanced NSCLC, normal haemoglobin and iron levels at baseline, and who developed anaemia during the chemo...

Multiple studies have shown that epoetin alpha (r-HuEpo) and darbepoetin alpha (NESP) are similarly effective and safe for maintaining haemoglobin levels in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Nevertheless, there is some debate over their cost-effectiveness. The purpose of this study is to carry out a cost-minimisation analysis including a...
