Patients with RAS-mutated metastatic colorectal carcinoma - data from the clinical routine of over 1000 patients from the Colorectal Carcinoma (TKK) tumor registry (A7) - Sep 20, 2021 - Abstract #DGHO2021DGHO_294; Guidelines recommend chemotherapy (CT; fluoropyrimidine, irinotecan, oxaliplatin) with or without anti-angiogenic agents for two treatment lines...Between 2010 and 2018, pts with (K) RAS mut mCRC were mostly treated with a doublet CT and bevacizumab (BEV) as 1 st -line therapy, with the most frequent treatment regimens being FOLFIRI + BEV (30%), FOLFOX + BEV (25%), FOLFOX (13%) and FOLFIRI (9%)...The percentage of pts receiving 3 rd -line trifluridine / tipiracil increased over time from 9% in 2016 to 38% in 2019. This analysis of the RAS mut mCRC population enrolled prospectively in the TKK database provides important insights into treatment patterns, sequential treatments, and outcome of patients with RAS mut mCRC in routine clinical practice in Germany.

Journal, HEOR: The economic burden of metastatic pancreatic cancer. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 19, 2021 Also, the high proportion of untreated patients is alarming as these patients may be the most expensive of all patients. There is an unmet need in these patients for effective treatments that also reduce their economic burden.

Clinical, Journal, Immunogenic cell death: Immunogenic cell death pathway polymorphisms for predicting oxaliplatin efficacy in metastatic colorectal cancer. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 19, 2021 It displayed toxicity similar to that observed with its use as a first-line treatment. The predictive utility of ICD-related SNPs for the efficacy of oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy was demonstrated, warranting further validation studies to be translated into personalized treatment strategies using conventional cytotoxic agents in mCRC.

Clinical, Journal: Prognostic variables in low and high risk stage III colon cancers treated in two adjuvant chemotherapy trials. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 19, 2021 As in vivo markers of drug sensitivity, ETS and DoR may be integrated with several patient- and tumor-related factors to wisely drive decision-making on upfront treatment duration and intensity. Sidedness and BRAF/MMR contributed the most to survival outcomes among high risk tumours and should be interpreted in the context of risk group.

The findings of this study suggest that CRC is a major area for intervention to minimize pandemic-associated delays in screening, diagnosis, and treatment.

Clinical, Journal: Influence of first line chemotherapy strategy depending on primary tumor location in metastatic colorectal cancer. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 18, 2021 Folinic acid, 5FU, and irinotecan (FOLFIRI) give better PFS in rectal cancer [PFS of 21.2 (95% CI: 14.9-NR) versus 12.2 (95% CI: 10.1-13.4) months for the folinic acid, 5FU, and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) group, P=0.009] and at trend for better PFS in right side tumor [14.9 (95% CI: 8.8-20.8) versus 11.3 (95% CI: 8.4-13.2) months for the FOLFOX group...our results support that either FOLFIRI or FOLFOX regimens give similar efficacy in both left and right metastatic colic cancer. FOLFIRI and FOLFIRINOX regimens might be preferred for metastatic rectal carcinoma.

Retrospective data, Journal: Partnering bevacizumab with irinotecan as first line-therapy of metastatic colorectal cancer improves progression free survival-A retrospective analysis. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 17, 2021 No correlations were observed between the dose intensity of irinotecan, oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil, or bevacizumab and the overall survival, progression-free survival in the first-/second-line treatment, and time to treatment failure...Initiating systemic treatment with an irinotecan-based regimen in combination with bevacizumab improved the progression-free survival in the first-line treatment and time to treatment failure. In terms of overall survival, bevacizumab treatment after the first progression is better partnered with the same regimen as that used in the induction phase.
