CAN TUMOR RESPONSE TO INDUCTION CHEMOTHERAPY PREDICT TME-FREE SURVIVAL AFTER TOTAL NEOADJUVANT THERAPY FOR LOCALLY ADVANCED RECTAL CANCER? (207A - Walter E. Washington Convention Center) - Mar 14, 2024 - Abstract #DDW2024DDW_6394; Our data indicate that when an organ preservation strategy is pursued, the tumor response to induction chemotherapy predicts the probability of TME-free survival early in the treatment course. This benefit of induction chemotherapy should be considered when the chemotherapy sequence or treatment escalation and de-escalation, based on tumor response, is investigated in future research designed to maximize organ preservation.

TREATMENT OF RECTAL CANCER BY TOTAL NEOADJUVANT THERAPY AND TRANSANAL LIMITED LOCAL EXCISION FOR COMPLETE RESPONDERS: PHASE II TRIAL RESULTS (207A - Walter E. Washington Convention Center) - Mar 14, 2024 - Abstract #DDW2024DDW_6392; All patients received 6 cycles of induction FOLFOX followed by concurrent Capecitabine/5FU infusion and external beam radiation...To date, 10/22 patients avoided TME and ultimate pelvic control was achieved in all patients. CONCLUSION Organ preservation via LLE for complete responders after TNT is not associated with frequent and severe morbidity and results in good local control.

NEOADJUVANT CHEMOTHERAPY VERSUS UPFRONT SURGERY IN RESECTABLE PANCREATIC DUCTAL ADENOCARCINOMA: A NATIONAL CANCER DATABASE INTENTION-TO-TREAT ANALYSIS (207A - Walter E. Washington Convention Center) - Mar 14, 2024 - Abstract #DDW2024DDW_6150; The recent NORPACT-1 trial compared neoadjuvant FOLFIRINOX (4 cycles + surgery + 8 cycles) versus adjuvant FOLFIRINOX (surgery + 12 cycles) and reported worse median survival of 25.1 months in the NAC group versus 38.5 months with upfront surgery...The decision to proceed with upfront surgery versus NAC for resectable PDAC is complex and should be personalized for each patient. Results from this real-world cohort support upfront surgery, in line with the recently reported randomized trial.

SBRT AFTER NEOADJUVANT CHEMOTHERAPY (NAC) FOR LOCALLY ADVANCED PANCREATIC CANCER (LAPC): PRELIMINARY INSTITUTIONAL RESULTS. (207B - Walter E. Washington Convention Center) - Mar 14, 2024 - Abstract #DDW2024DDW_6146; Materials and Methods In our tertiary referral center, patients with LAPC undergo a complete course of NAC (mostly FOLFIRINOX), cross-sectional imaging reevaluation in 2 weeks and exploration for possible resection when the tumor looks resectable, en-block with the involved major vascular structure(s)...Seven patients are alive for a median of 15 months and 6 patients died at a median of 15 months. Conclusions Our initial experience shows that SBRT following NAC for LAPC is safe, is associated with a high rate of local control and may render resectable about one third of patients considered unresectable after NAC alone.

Current standards of care for PDAC involve the combination of two drugs (Gemcitabine+nab-paclitaxel) or more (FOLFIRINOX); however, combinations produce dramatic toxic effects on patients...In this study, we synthesized an MSN platform chemically loaded with cisplatin (cisPt) to internal pores and conjugated with gemcitabine (Gem) to the external surface of MSNs (Gem-cisPt-MSNs)...In addition, this synergistic effect is drug ratio-dependent. We envision that the use of nanoparticles will help to alleviate some of the main issues related to the treatment of PDAC; in particular, the drug resistance against current standard of care.

This approach can be used to promote cancer immunogenicity with implications for the design of new chemo-immunotherapy strategies in CRC.

Targeting vulnerabilities of drug-tolerant persister cells in gastric cancer (Section 24) - Mar 5, 2024 - Abstract #AACR2024AACR_8067; We identified a significant downregulation of genes strictly correlated to the HR machinery, suggesting that the FOLFIRI-induced persister cells can temporarily enter in a "BRCAness" status that may be used for a synthetic lethality approach using PARP inhibitors. Targeting the drug tolerant persister state is an essential approach to diminish cancer cells when they are potentially in their most vulnerable state.
