Journal: Survey of cutaneous adverse reactions to targeted cancer therapies: value of dermatological advice. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 4, 2021 These results would inform CRC treatment decisions, including health insurance negotiation, precision therapy access, allocation of research funding and evaluation of the financial burden of CRC drug treatment. Adverse reaction should be recognized by both dermatologists and oncologists and a multidisciplinary approach is mandatory.

Journal: Modulating chitosan-PLGA nanoparticle properties to design a co-delivery platform for glioblastoma therapy intended for nose-to-brain route. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 4, 2021 Mucoadhesive nanoparticles (NPs) based on poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and oligomeric chitosan (OCS) were designed as a rational strategy and potential platform to co-deliver alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHC) and the monoclonal antibody cetuximab (CTX) into the brain, by nasal administration...The findings of this work demonstrated the potential of this nanostructured polymeric platform to become a novel therapeutic alternative for GBM treatment.

Clinical, Review, Journal, Combination therapy: The EMA assessment of encorafenib in combination with cetuximab for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic colorectal carcinoma harbouring the BRAFV600E mutation who have received prior therapy. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 31, 2021 Encorafenib plus cetuximab was evaluated in a randomised phase III trial of encorafenib plus binimetinib plus cetuximab versus encorafenib plus cetuximab versus cetuximab plus irinotecan or FOLFIRI (control arm) to adult patients with BRAFV600E mCRC who had received prior therapy for metastatic disease...The most frequent adverse events in patients receiving encorafenib plus cetuximab were fatigue, nausea, diarrhoea, acneiform dermatitis, abdominal pain, arthralgia, decreased appetite, vomiting and rash. The aim of this manuscript is to summarise the scientific review of the application leading to regulatory approval in the EU.

Pembrolizumab was evaluated in a phase III, open-label, multicentre, randomised trial versus standard of care (SOC: FOLFOX6/FOLFIRI alone or in combination with bevacizumab/cetuximab) as first-line treatment of locally confirmed mismatch repair-deficient or microsatellite instability-high stage IV CRC...This is the first time the CHMP has issued an opinion for a target population defined by DNA repair deficiency biomarkers. The aim of this manuscript is to summarise the scientific review of the application leading to regulatory approval in the European Union.

[VIRTUAL] Radiotherapy vs. Surgery in Early Stage HPV-Positive Oropharyngeal Cancer (Digital XP) - Oct 30, 2021 - Abstract #ASTRO2021ASTRO_1275; We found no differences in OS, PFS, and LC between (CC)RT vs. surgery as initial treatment in stage I–II hpv+OPC which warrants comparison via a prospective trial in the treatment de-escalation era. However, most patients undergoing upfront surgery needed adjuvant (CC)RT.

[VIRTUAL] Brachial Plexus Tolerance to High-Dose Radiation in the Re-Irradiation Setting (McCormick Place West, Outside Room W375) - Oct 30, 2021 - Abstract #ASTRO2021ASTRO_891; Cumulative incidence of radiation-induced BPP after re-irradiation was 17% at 1 year. Dmax >106 Gy, higher V80/V90, and the use of concurrent cisplatin during re-irradiation, were associated with increased risk of BPP.

Journal: HSV-1 ICP22 Is a Selective Viral Repressor of Cellular RNA Polymerase II-Mediated Transcription Elongation. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 28, 2021 Our findings indicate that ICP22 interacts with critical elongation regulators to inhibit transcription elongation of cellular genes, which may be vital for HSV-1 pathogenesis. We also show that the HSV viral activator, VP16, has a region of structural similarity to the ICP22 region that interacts with elongation factors, suggesting a model where VP16 competes with ICP22 to deliver elongation factors to viral genes.

Review, Journal, IO biomarker: BRAF-V600E testing in metastatic colorectal cancer and new, chemotherapy-free therapy options. German version (Pubmed Central) - Oct 28, 2021 Additional diagnostic tests should also include genome instability (microsatellite instability). Overall, more and more molecular alterations need to be investigated simultaneously, so that the use of focused next-generation sequencing is increasingly recommended.This overview describes the prognostic relevance of BRAF testing in the context of molecular pathologic diagnostics of mCRC, presents new treatment options for BRAF-mutated mCRC patients, and explains which modern DNA analytical and immunohistochemical methods are available to detect BRAF mutations in mCRC patients.

Journal: miR-9 modulates and predicts the response to radiotherapy and EGFR inhibition in HNSCC. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 27, 2021 Radiotherapy (RT) plus the anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody Cetuximab (CTX) is an effective combination therapy for a subset of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients...Intriguingly, high miR-9 levels have no effect on the sensitivity of HNSCC cells to cisplatin...Overall, we have discovered a new signaling axis linking EGFR activation to Sp1 expression that dictates the response to combination treatments in HNSCC. We propose that miR-9 may represent a valuable biomarker to select which HNSCC patients might benefit from RT+CTX therapy.
