Neoadjuvant chemotherapy in lung cancer
According to the 2010 estimate by the American Cancer Society, lung cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the USA, with an estimated 222,520 new cases of lung cancer diagnosed every year, and is also the leading cause of cancer-related mortality, with an estimated 157,300 people dying from lung cancer every year [1].

The potential for substantial improvement in the outcome of patients with carcinoma of the lung seem most likely to develop in the field of chemotherapy.

متن کاملChemotherapy versus combination of chemotherapy and endocrine therapy in advanced breast cancer. A prospective randomized study.
One hundred-forty-five postmenopausal women with metastatic breast cancer entered a prospective randomized trial comparing treatment A (cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and 5-fluorouracil; CMF) with treatment B (the same chemotherapy plus tamoxifen; CMF plus T). Patients on treatment A had T added to CMF at the time of progression or relapse (second-line CMF plus T). One hundred thirty-three cas...
متن کاملMathematical Modeling and Lyapunov-Based Drug Administration in Cancer Chemotherapy
In this paper a new mathematical model is developed for the dynamics between tumor cells, normal cells, immune cells, chemotherapy drug concentration and drug toxicity. Then, the theorem of Lyapunov stability is applied to design treatment strategies for drug protocols that ensure a desired rate of tumor cell kill and push the system to the area with smaller tumor cells. Using of this theorem a...
