for thymoma. 20 , 88 , 89 However, nonanthracycline regimens (eg, cisplatin/etoposide [with or without ifosfamide], carboplatin/paclitaxel) may be useful for patients who cannot tolerate the more aggressive regimens. 89 , 90 For thymic carcinoma, the

addition of neoadjuvant trastuzumab to paclitaxel followed by FEC chemotherapy (fluorouracil, epirubicin, and cyclophosphamide) was associated with an increase in the pathologic complete response rate from 26% to 65.2% ( P = .016). 107 Thus, the

-positive disease to a regimen of paclitaxel, gemcitabine, and cisplatin (PGC) or observation. 25 The study ultimately showed a survival advantage with adjuvant PGC compared with observation (median not reached [NR] vs 26 months; P <.0009). Unfortunately, the

(or preceded by) the THP regimen, with docetaxel often substituted by weekly paclitaxel for improved tolerability. The role of anthracyclines in the neoadjuvant treatment of HER2+ breast cancer has been a topic of discussion, given the increasing

with FAC followed by paclitaxel. The pathologic complete response rate was significantly higher in those treated with FAC and paclitaxel (25% vs. 10%). The addition of paclitaxel led to improvement in progression-free (27 vs. 18 months) and median

(standard dose), or a combination of both agents (lapatinib, 1000 mg/d plus standard trastuzumab dosing). 7 The anti-HER2 therapy was administered alone for the first 6 weeks, at which point weekly paclitaxel was added to the assigned anti-HER2 therapy for

this point showed that liver metastases had completely calcified without evidence of new disease ( Figure 1 ). With the goal of increasing tumor response, weekly paclitaxel was added to trastuzumab. Over 6 weeks, the CEA continued to trend down to 496
