Journal: Serum Mass Spectrometry Proteomics and Protein Set Identification in Response to FOLFOX-4 in Drug-Resistant Ovarian Carcinoma. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 22, 2023 All proteins were associated with response to drug-resistant ovarian cancer resistant and were mechanistically connected to the pathways associated with cancer arrest. These results can be the basis for extending a biomarker discovery process to a clinical trial, as an early predictive tool of chemo-response to FOLFOX-4 of heavily treated ovarian cancer patients and for supporting the oncologist to continue or to interrupt the therapy.

Review, Journal: Chemotherapy in Well Differentiated Neuroendocrine Tumors (NET) G1, G2, and G3: A Narrative Review. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 22, 2023 Treatment regimens with STZ-5FU, CAPTEM, and anti-metabolite-based treatment are the most active and tolerated in gastroenteropancreatic NETs (GEP-NETs) G1-G2, while platinum-based regimens (FOLFOX/XELOX) and TEM/CAPTEM showed the best activity in thoracic NETs...Literature data support the use of chemotherapy in low-intermediate grade NETs after the failure of other therapies or if tumor shrinkage is needed. Studies assessing G3 NETs independently from NECs are needed to better understand the role of chemotherapy in this setting.

Preclinical, Journal: In Vitro Activity of Essential Oils from Piper Species (Piperaceae) against Tachyzoites of Toxoplasma gondii. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 22, 2023 α-Pinene was more active [(IC 0.3265 (0.2958 to 0.3604) μg/mL)] against tachyzoites than P. lindbergii EO [0.8387 (0.6492 to 1.084) μg/mL]. Both α-Pinene and P. lindbergii EO exhibited low cytotoxicity against NHDF cells, with CC 41.37 (37.64 to 45.09) µg/mL and 83.80 (75.42 to 91.34) µg/mL, respectively, suggesting they could be of potential use against toxoplasmosis.
- |||||||||| Isotoxic high-dose stereotactic body radiotherapy versus chemoradiotherapy for localized pancreatic cancer : a single center evaluation (Teun – Hilton Antwerp Old Town) - Jan 21, 2023 - Abstract #BWG2023BWG_63;
P2 iHD-SBRT was integrated in a total neoadjuvant strategy, before surgical exploration and after induction chemotherapy by modified FOLFIRINOX for ideally 6 cycles...For the rest of the CRT cohort, the induction chemotherapy consisted of gemcitabine alone in 26.8%, gemcitabine combined with another agent (cisplatine, 5FU, etc.) in 29.3%; 24.4% had no induction chemotherapy...Further studies are required to confirm the exact role of iHD-SBRT and the optimal therapeutic sequence for the treatment of localized PDAC. For this purpose, our group launched the randomized phase II STEREOPAC trial [NCT05083247] aiming to compare mFFX alone versus mFFX + iHD-SBRT as neoadjuvant strategies in 256 patients with borderline resectable PDAC.

Journal, Real-world evidence, Real-world, Metastases: Trifluridine/Tipiracil in the Real-World Management of Metastatic Gastric and Gastroesophageal Junction Cancers in Canada. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 21, 2023 Through the Patient Support Program, FTD/TPI is an actively utilized treatment option in heavily pretreated metastatic gastric/gastroesophageal cancer, despite its recent introduction. With longer-than-expected treatment duration and PFS, FTD/TPI likely addresses an important unmet need for effective and tolerable therapies in this setting.
