Background The 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), capecitabine-based long-course or short-course radiotherapy (SCRT) eventually preceded or followed by induction or consolidation chemotherapy (CT) and resection represents the preferred regimen for the treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC)...All participants underwent short-term radiotherapy (25 Grays (Gy) over fractions within one week) followed by CT with 5-FU, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) or capecitabine and oxaliplatin (CAPOX), constituting the total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT)...These insights could refine patient selection for TNT and inform future strategies to optimize treatment outcomes in rectal cancer. Prospective multicenter studies are warranted.

Journal: The nucleolin antagonist N6L and paclitaxel combination treatment could be a new promising therapeutic strategy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma therapy. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 17, 2025 Thus, the combined effect of N6L with either gemcitabine, FOLFOX and paclitaxel (PTX) on the survival of PANC-1, Mia-PaCa-2 and BxPC3 was studied and shown additive effect...We have then combined the advantageous features of both porous and negatively charged surfaces of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) particles and host molecules CD for developing carrier enabling all at once the loading of PTX (hydrophobic drug) and N6L (cationic drug). This association generates water-soluble particles capable of targeting via N6L and delivering paclitaxel to tumor cells.

(Pubmed Central) - Feb 17, 2025 The efficacy of 5-FU is enhanced by combination therapies such as FOLFOXIRI and targeted treatments like bevacizumab, cetuximab, and panitumumab, particularly in KRAS wild-type tumors, despite associated toxicity...Advances in immunotherapy, including immune checkpoint inhibitors and cancer vaccines, along with nanomedicine-based therapies, offer promising targeted drug delivery systems that enhance specificity, reduce toxicity, and provide novel approaches for overcoming resistance mechanisms. Integrating these innovative strategies with traditional therapies may enhance the effectiveness of CRC therapy by addressing the underlying causes of 5-FU resistance in CSCs.

Journal: Advanced pancreatic cancer treated with camrelizumab combined with apatinib: A case report. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 17, 2025 Immunotherapy and targeted therapy have the potential to increase both the quality of life and survival time of PC patients, particularly those whose tumor progression is not effectively controlled by chemotherapy alone. Nevertheless, further clinical trials are necessary to validate these findings.

- |||||||||| Journal: Comparative efficacy of cetuximab combined with FOLFOX or CAPEOX in first-line treatment of RAS/BRAF wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer: a multicenter case-control study. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 4, 2025
CAPEOX combined with cetuximab differs from the FOLFOX regimen by using oral capecitabine instead of continuous infusion of fluorouracil, offering greater convenience and cost-effectiveness with higher patient acceptance...The two groups achieved similar median PFS (mPFS) and median OS (mOS), with mPFS of 18 months and 12 months, respectively (P = 0.23), and mOS of 33 months and 20 months, respectively (P = 0.21), with no statistically significant differences. The results of this study demonstrated that CAPEOX combined with cetuximab is an equally viable option for first-line treatment of RAS/BRAF wild-type mCRC as FOLFOX combined with cetuximab.
