Yeung1 and Ezra E.W. Cohen2 Abstract Management options are limited for patients with radioactive therapy for these patients. Median PFS of 18.3 months in the iodine refractory, locally advanced, or metastatic differentiated lenvatinib group was significantly improved from 3.6 months in thyroid carcinoma. Prior to 2015, sorafenib, a multitargeted the placebo group, with an HR of 0.21 (95% confidence interval, tyrosine kinase inhibitor, was the only approved treatment and 0.4–0.31; P < 0.0001). ORR was also significantly increased in the was associated with a median progression-free survival (PFS) of lenvatinib arm (64.7%) compared with placebo (1.5%). In this 11 months and overall response rate (ORR) of 12% in a phase III article, we will review the molecular mechanisms of lenvatinib, trial.

Burzynski, Tomasz J. Janicki, Gregory S. Burzynski, Sheldon Brookman Burzynski Clinic, Houston, USA Email: [email protected] Received 24 November 2014; revised 15 December 2014; accepted 21 December 2014 Academic Editor: Sibu P. Saha, University of Kentucky, USA Copyright © 2014 by authors and Scientific Research Publishing Inc. This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract The most common and aggressive type of brain tumor is glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). The prognosis for GBM remains poor with a five-year survival rate between 1% and 2%. The prospects for patients with recurrent GBM (RGBM) are much worse, with the majority dying within 6 months. This publication provides a brief description of the treatment of 11 GBM patients treated with so- dium phenylbutyrate (PB) in combination with pazopanib, m-TOR inhibitors, and other agents. The treatment was associated with tolerable side effects and resulted in objective responses in 54.5% of cases (complete response 18.2%, partial response 36.3%) and 27.3% cases of stable disease. The preferable treatment regimen consisted of PB, pazopanib, dasatinib, everolimus, and bevacizumab (BVZ). For various reasons not all patients were compliant with the treatment regi- men. In patients who strictly complied with the treatment plan, all responded as CR or PR.

National Cancer Institute, Mexico City, Mexico; 3Dr. Ladislao de la Pascua Dermatology Center, Department of Health, Mexico City, Mexico © Permanyer Publications 2014 ABSTRACT In the last two decades the US Food and Drug Administration has granted approval for multiple molecules for use in the treatment of cancer. These targeted therapies, aimed at inhibiting specific molecules, cause numerous adverse effects at the skin, for example, acneform dermatitis, mucosal, hair and nail alterations, and depigmentation of skin and hair, which have been seldom described in the literature. In this article we will focus on the side effects of tyrosine kinase inhibitors in particular and try to show how these drugs affect melanogenesis in hair follicles, triggering changes in skin and hair pigmentation.

The incidence of endometrial carcinoma is rising Pazopanib is a selective multi-targeted receptor and the patients with distant metastases have a poor tyrosine kinase inhibitor of VEGFR-1/2/3, prognosis, especially when progression of disease occurs PDGFR-α/β, FGFR1/2/3 and c-kit. Its mechanism after systemic treatment with hormonal therapy or of action is dual, via direct inhibition of oncogenic chemotherapy. Pazopanib, a multi-targeted inhibitor of signalling in target-positive cancer cells and via angiogenesis inhibition. Pazopanib is registered several oncogenic receptor tyrosine kinases, has been for treatment of renal cell carcinoma and soft investigated in patients with chemotherapy-resistant tissue sarcoma and has shown activity in ovarian endometrial carcinoma or patients for whom chemotherapy cancer. Pazopanib is currently being investigated is contraindicated. In this report we will describe a in endometrial carcinoma in the PAZEC study spectacular response to pazopanib in a patient with (EudraCT Number: 2011-000287-99). recurrent metastatic endometrial carcinoma.

    Case Report Annals of Clinical Case Reports Published: 05 Feb, 2021 Interstitial Lung Disease Induced by Pazopanib Treatment for Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma at the Time of COVID-19 Pandemic Valentina Orlando1*, Marco Francesco Maria Cavallaro2, Stefano Moroso1, Mario Cirino3, Umberto Basso4 and Alessandra Guglielmi1 1Department of Oncology, Ospedale Maggiore, Piazza dell’Ospitale 1, Italy 2Department of Radiology, Ospedale Maggiore, Piazza dell’Ospitale 1, Italy 3Department of Pharmacy, Ospedale Maggiore, Piazza dell’Ospitale 1, Italy 4Medical Oncology Unit, Istituto Oncologico Veneto, Italy Abstract Interstitial lung disease is a reported complication of therapy with tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Pazopanib, a vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitor approved for first line treatment in metastatic renal cell cancer and second line therapy for advanced sarcoma, is rarely associated with lung complications. However, interstitial lung damage is the major problem associated with coronavirus pandemic and the cause of severe respiratory syndrome. We describe the development of pneumonitis in a patient with metastatic renal cell carcinoma treated with pazopanib during the peak of coronavirus disease in Italy. This report notifies the possible onset of pazopanib induced pneumonitis and how to diagnose and manage drug induced interstitial lung disease during the pandemic of coronavirus.

The UnitedHealthcare Cancer Therapy Pathways Program aims to improve quality and value in cancer care by identifying anti-cancer regimens supported by evidence-based guidelines to help reduce total cost of care and improve outcomes. The program’s regimens are selected on the basis of clinical benefit (efficacy) and side-effect profile (toxicity). Among regimens with comparable efficacy and toxicity, additional consideration is given to the frequency of hospitalizations during therapy, duration of therapy, drug costs and total cost of care. Care decisions are between the physician and the patient The Cancer Therapy Pathways Program is not a substitute for the experience and judgment of a physician or other health care professional.
