Effects of neoadjuvant chemotherapy < em > vs < /em > chemoradiotherapy in the treatment of esophageal adenocarcinoma: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Although nCRT may have a higher pCR rate, it does not translate to greater long-term survival. Moreover, nCRT is associated with higher 30-d mortality, although the specific cause for postoperative complications could not be identified. In the case of nCT, toxic side effects are suspected, which can reduce the quality of life. Given the quality of available studies, further randomized trials are required.PMID:38617451 | PMC:PMC11008422 | DOI:10.3748/wjg.v30.i11.1621 (Source: World Journal of Gastroenterology : WJG)

Utility of human epidermal growth factor 2 heterogeneity as a prognostic factor in triple-negative breast cancer
Med Mol Morphol. 2024 Apr 15. doi: 10.1007/s00795-024-00386-z. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn some cases of human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer, including triple-negative breast cancer, HER2 expression is sporadically and strongly upregulated, a condition known as HER2 heterogeneity. We investigated the clinicopathological features of patients with HER2 heterogeneity in triple-negative breast cancers treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Thirty-nine patients with triple-negative breast cancer who had undergone preoperative chemotherapy participated in this study. To assess for HER2 heterogeneit...

Biofunctional study on chemoresistance in esophageal squamous carcinoma cells induced by missense mutation of < em > NOTCH1 p.E450K < /em >
CONCLUSIONS: The NOTCH1 p.E450K point mutation causes chemotherapy resistance in KYSE140 and KYSE450 ESCC cells. Cell functional experiments showed that the NOTCH1 p.E450K point mutation enhanced the proliferation, migration and invasion abilities of KYSE140 and KYSE450 cells and increased the number of cells in S phase.PMID:38617785 | PMC:PMC11009606 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-23-1880 (Source: Journal of Thoracic Disease)

Comparisons of short-term outcomes between robot-assisted, video-assisted, and open esophagectomy for resectable esophageal cancer after neoadjuvant treatment: a retrospective study
CONCLUSIONS: Compared to VAMIE, no clear benefit exists for RAE in the treatment of resectable EC after neoadjuvant therapy. OE resulted in a longer hospital stay. Although the rate of successful right RLN node removal was higher with RAE, the clinical relevance for this is yet unclear.PMID:38617777 | PMC:PMC11009584 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-24-75 (Source: Journal of Thoracic Disease)

Perioperative Immunotherapy for Node-Negative Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer - Current Evidence and Future Directions
Ann Thorac Surg. 2024 Apr 13:S0003-4975(24)00280-7. doi: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2024.03.035. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNeoadjuvant immunotherapy has gone from an idea to an indication in locally advanced lung cancer. Several phase III trials have demonstrated the superiority of neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy compared to chemotherapy in this setting. Although such progress has revolutionized the treatment of locally advanced disease, the unmet needs of stage I and stage II patients without lymph node disease have largely been under-represented in existing trials. Up-front surgery with few patients going on to complete adj...
