Early recognition and initiation of treatment is the mainstay

Journal: Proteomic Profiling of Chemotherapy Responses in FOLFOX-Resistant Colorectal Cancer Cells. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 2, 2023 Up-regulations in the ribosome pathway (DLD1-R) and actin cytoskeleton (HCT116-R) were verified by Western blot. There were several significantly altered signaling pathways in FOLFOX-resistant colorectal cancer cells under FOLFOX with notable up-regulations in the ribosomal process and actin cytoskeleton.

(Pubmed Central) - Jun 21, 2023 Olaparib combined with bevacizumab in the treatment of advanced CRC demonstrates a strong clinical effect of delaying disease progression and reducing the serum levels of VEGF, MMP-9, COX-2 and tumor markers HE4, CA125 and CA199. Moreover, given its fewer adverse reactions, it can be regarded as a safe and reliable treatment option.

TOLERABILITY, ATTRITION RATES, AND SURVIVAL OUTCOMES OF NEOADJUVANT FOLFIRINOX FOR NON-METASTATIC PANCREATIC ADENOCARCINOMA: AN INTENT-TO-TREAT ANALYSIS () - Jun 20, 2023 - Abstract #APCM2023APCM_145; Among 254 patients with non-metastatic PDAC initiated on FOLFIRINOX, of whom 52% were locally advanced, a total of 199 (78.3%) were explored, 142 (71.4%) underwent successful resection, and 129 (90.8%) were resected with negative margins. Despite 109 (42.9)% of patients experiencing significant toxicity, most patients could be managed through treatment-related complications to complete planned neoadjuvant chemotherapy and undergo planned surgical exploration.

OPTIMAL PERIOPERATIVE MULTIAGENT CHEMOTHERAPY IN RESECTED PANCREATIC CANCER: A HIGH-VOLUME CENTER REPORT () - Jun 20, 2023 - Abstract #APCM2023APCM_120; Regarding neoadjuvant regimens, FOLFIRINOX was used in 224 patients (80%), while Gemcitabine/ Nab-paclitaxel was used in 56 patients (20%)... The results of this study suggest that most patient tolerate 4 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, with the best outcomes seen in patients treated with FOLFIRINOX, 6 or more cycles of chemotherapy, and CA 19-9 response regardless of resectability criteria.

AGGRESSIVE MANAGEMENT OF ELDERLY PATIENTS WITH NON-METASTATIC PANCREATIC DUCTAL ADENOCARCINOMA (Monroe) - Jun 20, 2023 - Abstract #APCM2023APCM_110; Older patients with non-metastatic PDAC initiated on FOLFIRINOX with curative- intent experienced more toxicity-related emergency room visits and inpatient admissions and were less likely to complete their chemotherapy cycles when compared to younger patients. However, they were just as likely to undergo surgical exploration and resection and had similar adjusted survival outcomes when compared to younger patients, highlighting the feasibility of aggressive management of PDAC in elderly patients, including the use of neoadjuvant FOLFIRINOX.

STEREOTACTIC BODY RADIOTHERAPY AFTER INDUCTION CHEMOTHERAPY WITH (M)FOLFIRINOX IN PATIENTS WITH LOCALLY ADVANCED PANCREATIC CANCER (Adams) - Jun 20, 2023 - Abstract #APCM2023APCM_89; In this retrospective cohort study, (m)FOLFIRINOX followed by stereotactic radiotherapy was associated with significantly favourable survival outcomes, compared to (m)FOLFIRINOX alone. Since the risk for immortal time bias in this study was considerable, these data warrants a future randomized trial to finally elucidate the possible role of stereotactic radiotherapy in the treatment of localized pancreatic cancer.
