Abstract

We report the case of an 80-year-old patient who presented with a progressive prostate metastatic cancer with poor performance status. The patient had already benefitted from docetaxel and abiraterone. A new line of chemotherapy by cabazitaxel was started with good response, and there was a dramatic improvement in general status and pain symptoms. Age and performance status alone should not be limiting decision factors for elderly cancer patients. © 2015 S. Karger AG, Basel [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Human oncogenic papillomaviruses (HPV) have an increasingly prominent role in the genesis of many cancers. The oncogenic mechanisms associated with HPV are now better known and make it possible to explain the etiopathogenesis of the association. HPV status is now sought for certain cancers and conditions both prognosis and management of patients. Preventive antiviral vaccination has become a real public health issue and aims to effectively reduce the prevalence of cervical, anal and oropharynx cancer, HPV-associated. However, vaccination against HPV still lags behind. The purpose of this review is to redefine the involvement of HPV in several cancers as well as current therapeutic challenges of HPV-related cancers, notably in term of prevention., (Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Masson SAS.

Abstract

Complementary and alternative medicines (CAMs) play more and more a significant role both in France and all over the world. Yet, their definition and their role in cancer treatments legitimately raise concerns. This article aims at establishing a picture of the CAMs admitted by the French Medical Board as well as those which are new or in common medical practices in France. We start with a brief reminder of their origin, their status and how they are used. Then, we review the literature about some of the best clinical trials using CAMs in cancer patients. To finish, we try to understand what makes CAMs so thrilling, but also why they create controversy and which common points they may have with conventional medicine., (Copyright © 2019 Société Française du Cancer.
