The most frequent differential diagnosis of PA includes a number of "relatively circumscribed tumors" mostly of low grade (WHO grade I), including ganglioglioma (GG), dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor (DNET), rosette-forming glioneuronal tumor of the fourth ventricle (RFGNT), but also pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (PXA) (WHO grade II).
Overall, 43 % of patients had a lapatinib dose reduction, mostly because of grade 3 or unacceptable grade 2 or less diarrhea despite active management.
Twenty-six patiexperiencedenced treatment delay of in total 234 weekly administrations, median 8 (range 0 38), mostly because of grade 3 4 neutropenia.
In this study, neurotoxicity was seen in the form of sensory neuropathy in 54% of patients, mostly of CTCAE grade 1 (41% of patients) and probably more related to paclitaxel than to CA4P.
We had indeed expected to find a higher rate of LVI than described in literature, since our population consisted mostly of high-grade carcinomas and high grade has been associated with higher rates of LVI.
Triple-negative BCs account for 10-15% of all breast tumours and are mostly of high grade, have a high incidence of TP53 mutations, and show proliferative characteristics with a higher propensity to spread to visceral organs [ 4].
Frequently occurring motesanib-related adverse events included diarrhea (n = 19), nausea (n = 18), vomiting (n = 13), and fatigue (n = 12), which were mostly of worst grade < 3. The pharmacokinetics of motesanib was not markedly affected by coadministration of gemcitabine and erlotinib, or erlotinib alone.
