Retrospective data, Review, Journal: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Chemoablation for Non-muscle-invasive Bladder Cancer. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 16, 2022 Despite the lack of long-term outcomes, chemoablation appears to be a promising treatment option for well-selected NMIBC patients and can potentially help avoid unnecessary TURBT, specifically in some elderly patients with intermediate-risk NMIBC. Further well-designed studies with larger cohorts are necessary to address the differential tolerability and long-term anticancer efficacy of this resurging approach.

Postoperative chemotherapy or radiotherapy should also be considered in patients with distant metastases or positive lymph nodes.

Real-world outcomes of patients with advanced gastric cancer treated with FOLFIRI. (Available On Demand; Poster Board No. C6) - Dec 13, 2022 - Abstract #ASCOGI2023ASCO_GI_134; A phase III French intergroup study demonstrated a longer time to treatment failure, improved toxicity profile, and no difference in median OS when using FOLFIRI, compared to epirubicin, cisplatin, and capecitabine (ECX)... FOLFIRI had comparable efficacy to other first-line regimens in patients with AGC.

The anthracycline variants Aclarubicin, Doxorubicinone and the newly developed Dimethyl-doxorubicin, which share anticancer properties with the other anthracyclines but do not induce DNA damage, also suppressed inflammation, thus uncoupling DNA damage from the effects on inflammation. These findings have implications for anticancer therapy and for the development of novel anti-inflammatory drugs with limited side effects for life-threatening conditions such as sepsis.

Journal: Four Genes Predictive for the Severity of Hematological Damage Reveal a Similar Response after X Irradiation and Chemotherapy. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 9, 2022 In summary, the pattern of up-regulated GE changes observed in all CTX patients and down-regulated GE changes observed in a subgroup of CTX patients appeared comparable with an already identified gene set predictive for the radiation-induced H-ARS. This underlines the significance of in vivo GE measurements in CTX patients, employed as a surrogate model to further validate already identified radiation-induced GE changes predictive for the H-ARS.

Journal: Promoter hypomethylation and overexpression of TSTD1 mediate poor treatment response in breast cancer. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 25, 2022 Circulating cell-free hypomethylated TSTD1 was detected in plasma of Taiwanese breast cancer patients with disease progression and poor chemotherapy efficacy. Our results indicate that promoter hypomethylation and overexpression of TSTD1 in patients with breast cancer are potential biomarkers for poor 5-year overall survival and poor treatment response.

Journal: Effects of FeO Magnetic Nanoparticle Functionalization with Ionic Liquids and a Double-Chained Surfactant on the Pretreatment of Plasma Samples during Drug Extraction. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 23, 2022 The effectiveness of the developed NP-based extraction phases was tested by applying them for the extraction of epirubicin hydrochloride (EPI) from plasma samples, followed by analysis via liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (LC-FL)...Additionally, the findings also revealed that the adsorption of analytes depends not only on the coating procedure but also on the type of coating material used to functionalize the NPs. Among the tested structures, didodecyldimethylammonium bromide provided the best performance for the functionalization of NP sorbents previously coated with silica.
