  • 简介:AbstractThe management of pancreatic cancer has dramatically changed since the first major randomized trial published in 2001 by the European Study Group for Pancreatic Cancer (ESPAC) stimulated the development of multimodality oncosurgical therapies. ESPAC-1 demonstrated a survival improvement from upfront surgery of only 8%, increasing to 21% 5-year survival for 5-fluorouracil/folinic acid but only 10.8% for chemoradiotherapy. ESPAC-4 has shown a 5-year survival rate of 30% for all patients without restriction of 30% using a combination of gemcitabine and capecitabine, rising to 40% in those with an R0 resection margin, or nearly 50% in those with N0 lymph node status. In selected patients with favorable prognostic features mFOLFIRINOX can produce a 50% 5-year survival rate but with added toxicity. While a positive resection margin is associated with an increased likelihood of local recurrence, this of itself is not the contributor to reduced survival, but rather reflects the increased probability of systemic disease. Thus, strategies aimed at local control, may reduce subsequent local progression, but will not improve overall survival. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is increasingly utilized in cases of borderline resectable or locally advanced pancreatic cancer, but there is still a lack of proof of concept studies. High-quality evidence from randomized controlled trials to identify the indications and benefits of neoadjuvant therapy in pancreatic cancer are required. The use of patient-derived tumor organoids may predict response to chemotherapy which could open a new opportunity in pancreatic cancer treatment, stratifying patients into treatment groups based on their response to these therapies in the laboratory.

  • 简介:AbstractPreoperative neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, combined with total mesorectal excision, has become the standard treatment for advanced localized rectal cancer (RC). However, the biological complexity and heterogeneity of tumors may contribute to cancer recurrence and metastasis in patients with radiotherapy-resistant RC. The identification of factors leading to radioresistance and markers of radiosensitivity is critical to identify responsive patients and improve radiotherapy outcomes. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, endogenous, and noncoding RNAs that affect various cellular and molecular targets. miRNAs have been shown to play important roles in multiple biological processes associated with RC. In this review, we summarized the signaling pathways of miRNAs, including apoptosis, autophagy, the cell cycle, DNA damage repair, proliferation, and metastasis during radiotherapy in patients with RC. Also, we evaluated the potential role of miRNAs as radiotherapeutic biomarkers for RC.

  • 简介:AbstractGastric cancer, which has a high incidence and poor prognosis, remains a therapeutic challenge. Recently, neoadjuvant therapy has attracted increasing attention due to high recurrence rate and low survival rate after resection in most patients with advanced stage. Clinical trials show that neoadjuvant approaches confer a significant survival advantage for resectable locally advanced gastric cancer. The specific advantages of chemoradiotherapy compared with chemotherapy have not been clarified; optimal regimens and cycles, particularly in the preoperative setting, should be studied further; and trials aimed at determining the role of targeted and immunological therapies should be conducted.

  • 简介:AbstractImmune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized the approach to advanced and locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Antibodies blocking inhibitory immune checkpoints, such as programmed death 1 (PD-1) and its ligand (PD-L1), have remarkable antitumor efficacy and have been approved as a standard first- or second-line treatment in non-oncogene-addicted advanced NSCLC. The successful application of immunotherapy in advanced lung cancer has motivated researchers to further evaluate its clinical role as a neoadjuvant setting for resectable NSCLC and for improved long-term overall survival and curative rates. In this review, we discuss the efforts that incorporate ICIs into the treatment paradigm for surgically resectable lung cancer. We reviewed the early-phase results from neoadjuvant clinical trials, the landscape of the majority of ongoing phase III trials, and discuss the prospects of ICIs as a curative therapy for resectable lung cancer. We also summarized the potential biomarkers and beneficiaries involved in the current study, as well as the remaining unresolved challenges for neoadjuvant immunotherapy.

  • 简介:AbstractPancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive cancer with poor survival. Local control through surgical resection paired with radiotherapy and chemotherapy comprise the primary tenets of treatment. Debate exists regarding the timing of treatment and ordering of systemic therapy and resection in the management of early stage disease. The goal of this study was to review the literature and describe the contemporary evidence basis for the role of neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) in the setting of upfront resectable (UP-R) PDAC. Five databases were searched in parallel to identify relevant original articles investigating neoadjuvant therapy where at least 1 study arm contained UP-R PDAC; studies with only borderline resectable or locally advanced disease were excluded. Due to the diversity in NAT regimens and study design between trials, qualitative analyses were performed to investigate patient selection, impact on perioperative and survival outcomes, safety, and cost effectiveness. Thirty-five studies met inclusion criteria, of which 24 unique trials are discussed here in detail. These studies included those trials using single agents as well as more recent trials comparing modern multiagent therapies, and several large database analyses. Overall the data suggest that NAT is safe, may confer survival benefit for appropriately selected patients, is cost effective, and is an appropriate approach for UP-R PDAC. Nevertheless, the risk for disease progression during upfront medical therapy, requires appropriate patient identification and close monitoring, and emphasizes the need for further discovery of more effective chemotherapeutics, useful biomarkers or molecular profiles, and additional prospective comparative studies.
