Complete Response to S-1 Monotherapy Over 3 Years in an Elderly Patient with Advanced Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer

The number of elderly patients with cancer continues to increase.The optimal chemotherapeutic regimen for inoperable non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in elderly patients, especially over 80 years old, remains controversial.S-1,a newly developed oral fluorouracil antitumor drug,has been reported to be effective in the treatment of gastrointestinal and pancreatic tumors and/or NSCLC. We experienced a case of an elderly patient with advanced-stage NSCLC who responded well to S-1 monotherapy with tolerable toxicities and has had three years of disease-free survival. S-1 appears to have significant activity with mild toxicities for selected elderly NSCLC patients and in our view warrants further clinical study.

Self-Turn-on-Free 5V Gate Driving for 1200V Scaled IGBT

Negative biasing of the gate voltage in a scaled insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) during the off-state was modeled and found to be effective against self-turn-on failures. The required self-turn-on-free criteria were verified experimentally.31st IEEE International Symposium on Power Semiconductor Devices and ICs (ISPSD 2019), 19-23 May 2019, Shanghai, Chin
