Journal: Panitumumab Associated Acute Pancreatitis. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 18, 2022 Although panitumumab related gastrointestinal side effects have been reported, there is no data on acute pancreatitis. Panitumumab was added to the chemotherapy regimen he received, and it was thought that panitumumab might be the etiological factor in the case who developed pancreatitis.

Journal, Circulating tumor DNA: Exploring New Approaches for Locally Advanced Gastroesophageal Adenocarcinomas: TNT, irinotecan, and ctDNA. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 15, 2022 FOLFIRI should be further studied in pancreatic cancers with HR-DDR defects. The authors of a recent pilot study incorporated novel concepts including total neoadjuvant therapy with induction triplet FOLFIRINOX then chemoradiotherapy before surgery, along with ctDNA minimal residual disease analyses demonstrating both feasibility of this approach as well as confirming prognostic value of ctDNA analysis before and after surgery.

Regarding TTF, BEV seemed to be a favorable option compared with RAM and AFL when combined with FOLFIRI, and IRIS might be preferable compared to FOLFIRI when combined with BEV for patients who failed to respond to fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin, and BEV.

Clinical, Journal: Personalizing First-Line Systemic Therapy in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer: Is There a Role for Initial Low-Intensity Therapy in 2021 and Beyond? A Perspective From Members of the Australasian Gastrointestinal Trials Group. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 14, 2022 However, the relative benefit of a fluoropyrimidine doublet with oxaliplatin or irinotecan over single-agent fluoropyrimidine with or without a biologic is less certain; the available data demonstrate that single-agent fluoropyrimidine plus a biologic with planned sequencing of subsequent agents can produce similar overall survival outcomes with reduced toxicity...Established prognostic factors, including patient age, performance status, tumor sidedness, and biomarkers such as RAS/BRAF, are key in treatment selection; patients with left-sided RAS/BRAF wild-type disease or patients with low tumor bulk may be ideal for a less intensive regimen. Further studies are required to confirm the value of less-intensive regimens in the modern era, where the incorporation of biologic therapies has become routine and where non-chemotherapy options are emerging as viable options for molecularly defined patient subsets.

Journal: Trends in Use and Perceptions About Triplet Chemotherapy Plus Bevacizumab for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 13, 2022 Triplet chemotherapy with fluorouracil, folinic acid, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan plus bevacizumab (FOLFOXIRI-B) is an effective first-line treatment option for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC)...Of these 282 patients, 199 (71%) were treated with intensive first-line therapy other than FOLFOXIRI-B, of whom 184 (65%) were treated with oxaliplatin doublets with or without bevacizumab; 14 (5%) with irinotecan doublets with or without bevacizumab, panitumumab, or cetuximab; and 1 (0.4%) with irinotecan with bevacizumab...Considering that most medical oncologists discuss this treatment option, the prescription rate found in this study was below expectations. Awareness of guidelines and trial data seems to contribute to the discussion of available treatment options by medical oncologists, and the findings of this study suggest a need for repeated and continuing medical education.

Journal: Plasma KRAS mutations predict the early recurrence after surgical resection of pancreatic cancer. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 13, 2022 Although 12 patients (31%) given chemotherapy tested positive for plasma KRAS mutations, there was no demonstrable relation between plasma KRAS mutations and progression-free survival (PFS) or overall survival (OS) (p = .35 and p = .68, respectively). In patients with PDAC, detection of KRAS mutations in plasma proved independently predictive of early recurrence after surgical resection but did not correlate with PFS following chemotherapy.

To optimize high-dose (HD)-MTX therapy and reduce related hematopoietic toxicity, it is necessary to detect the SNPs of MTHFR and ABCB1 before initiating HD-MTX and deciding the optimal dose of MTX and duration of leucovorin rescue, according to genetic tests and disease type in adults with hematological malignancies.
