Early studies of high-dose
chemotherapy (HDC) for breast
cancer were inhibited by diminutive numbers and the lack of adequate control groups. The French PEGASE Group was founded to perform more immensely colossal and felicitously randomized comparative studies of this approach. An estimated 1 million cases of breast
cancer are diagnosed annually ecumenical. Of these, more than 170,000 are described as triple-negative. Triple-negative breast
cancer (TNBC) is defined by the lack of protein expression of
estrogen receptor (ER) and
progesterone receptor (PR) and the absence of HER2 protein overexpression. Early results suggest that the
replication rate can be incremented in patients with
estrogen and/or progesterone-positive receptors. It is eminent that in a study conducted on
postmenopausal women resistant to cytotoxic and/or hormonal drugs, the median duration of survival was 13.5 months, while CRs plus PRs did not reach the median at 24 months after starting MPA treatment. High dose MPA is essentially devoid of major side effects. Mitigation of pain, increment in appetite and body weight, and sense of well being are characteristic features of the ameliorated
quality of life under MPA treatment. However, a gluteal abscess (from 2% to 20% dose cognate) is the most frequent side effect. The impact of the journal is influenced by impact factor, the
journals with high impact
factor are considered more important than those with lower ones. Indexing provides easy access of the article online. The international
journals are among the best
open access journals in the world, set out to publish the most comprehensive, relevant and reliable information based on the current research and development on a variety of subjects. This information can be published in our peer reviewed journal with impact factors and are calculated using citations not only from research
articles but also review
articles (which tend to receive more citations), editorials, letters, meeting abstracts, short communications, and case reports. The inclusion of these publications provides the opportunity for editors and publishers to manipulate the ratio used to calculate the impact
factor and try to increase their number rapidly. Impact
factor plays a major role for the particular journal.
