Review, Journal: News in gastrointestinal radiotherapy: The esophageal cancer (Pubmed Central) - Aug 11, 2022 Pre-operative chemotherapy with Paclitaxel-Carboplatin followed by adjuvant immunotherapy with Nivolumab represents a major advance in the management of locally advanced oesophageal cancer...Several trials are currently ongoing to evaluate the benefit of immunotherapy in non-operable cancers. In contrast, dose escalation in locally advanced non-operable tumors and the combination of pre-operative chemo-radiotherapy with trastuzumab have not been shown to be beneficial.

In contrast, dose escalation in locally advanced non-operable tumors and the combination of pre-operative chemo-radiotherapy with trastuzumab have not been shown to be beneficial. Among patients with stage III colon cancer enrolled in a trial of postoperative treatment, larger volumes of recreational physical activity, longer durations of light- to moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity, or any vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity were associated with the greatest improvements in DFS.

Journal: Detecting drug resistance in pancreatic cancer organoids guides optimized chemotherapy treatment. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 3, 2022 Five out of ten CTx-naïve PDO lines exhibited a differential response to either the FOLFIRINOX or the Gem/Pac regimen...Drug testing of CTx-naïve PDAC PDOs and neoCTx-PDOs may be useful to guide neoadjuvant and adjuvant regimen selection, respectively. Personalizing poly-chemotherapy regimens by omitting substances with low efficacy could potentially result in less-severe side effects, thereby increasing the fraction of patients receiving a full course of neoadjuvant treatment.

Journal: Clinical Study on Prevention of Irinotecan-Induced Delayed-Onset Diarrhea by Hot Ironing with Moxa Salt Packet on Tianshu and Shangjuxu. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 2, 2022 During the observation period after treatment, the incidence of III°+°IV myelosuppression in the study group was 5.00% (3/60) which is lower than 25.00% (15/60) in the control group (P < 0.05). The hot ironing with moxa salt packet on Tianshu and Shangjuxu was more effective in preventing IIDD, which could reduce the incidence and severity of IIDD, shorten the duration of diarrhea and significantly increase the quality of life of patients with no significant adverse effects.

In appropriately selected LAPC patients, ablative RT (BED10 ~100 Gy) in 5 fractions delivered with MR guidance and online adaptive replanning or 15-25 fractions delivered with CT guidance and selective offline adaptive replanning both appear to achieve excellent efficacy and minimal severe toxicity. Choice of fractionation scheme should be based on anatomical considerations and available technology.
