Review, Journal: Novel Agents in Heavily Pretreated Metastatic Gastric Cancer: More Shadows Than Lights. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 31, 2019 Although the possible availability of active agents may be a desirable option in a very poor therapeutic scenario, clinical data from the recent studies with these drugs raise yet controversial issues. The purpose of this review is to briefly summarize the results of these novel drugs focusing on the limitations that bring some shadows on their positive therapeutic results.

(Pubmed Central) - Jul 24, 2019 Conclusion Trifluridine/tipiracil has a statistically significant survival benefit compared with placebo in Asian patients with mCRC refractory or intolerant to standard chemotherapies, regardless of exposure to biologic therapy. The safety profile is similar to previous reports.

(Pubmed Central) - Jul 21, 2019 Clinical trials of emerging agents, new treatment combinations, and novel therapies continue the efforts to improve outcomes for patients with mCRC. Sharing expert opinions on best practice for treatment selection and management can ultimately improve outcomes for patients with mCRC.

Clinical, Review, Journal: Maximising clinical benefit with adequate patient management beyond the second line in mCRC. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 25, 2019 As quality of life is an important issue for patients with mCRC, it is important to balance extended survival and the likely quality of this extended life. Likewise, discussing possible side effects along with treatment expectations with patients can greatly facilitate adherence to therapy, and ultimately improve patients' quality of life and eventual clinical outcomes.

Review, Journal, IO Biomarker: Selecting treatment options in refractory metastatic colorectal cancer. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 18, 2019 Although most therapeutic developments for mCRC in the chemorefractory setting focuses on new targets and/or more potent agents, reconsideration of established targets has gained importance with the growth of a rational pharmacogenomic approach to drug development, such as HER2. The authors describe treatment options for patients with refractory colon cancer following first- and second-line therapy.

Clinical, Journal: A Case of Complete Response to Computed Tomography-Guided Celiac Plexus Neurolysis of Pain Associated with Postoperative Recurrence of Colon Cancer (Pubmed Central) - Apr 13, 2019 ...The patient was administered 5 cycles of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy with oral tegafur/uracil(UFT)in combination with calcium folinate(UZEL)...The patient was given 8 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy with capecitabine and oxaliplatin(CapeOX)...Multiple perineal disseminations were found intraoperatively, and chemotherapy was initiated with irinotecan plus tegafur/gimeracil/oteracil(S-1)plus bevacizumab(IRIS/BV)for the recurrent and unresectable disease...Treatment with trifluridine/tipiracil(TAS102)was started in September 2017...Since the patient did not require any rescue medication during daytime on some days, the reduction of the base opioid dose was significantly effective in improving the patient's quality of life(QOL). In patients with pain possibly caused by metastasis to the para-aortic nodes, this local therapy technique may be considered.

Journal, HEOR: Cost-effectiveness of Trifluridine/tipiracil for Previously Treated Metastatic Colorectal Cancer in England and Wales. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 3, 2019 The results show that trifluridine/tipiracil is more clinically and cost-effective than regorafenib, with clinical outcomes greatly exceeding those for patients treated with BSC alone. Based on the results of the analysis, trifluridine/tipiracil offers an important new treatment option for patients with mCRC maintaining good performance status at the end of life.
