REDISCOVER guidelines for borderline-resectable and locally advanced pancreatic cancer: management algorithm, unanswered questions, and future perspectives
AbstractThe REDISCOVER guidelines present 34 recommendations for the selection and perioperative care of borderline-resectable (BR-PDAC) and locally advanced ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreas (LA-PDAC). These guidelines represent a significant shift from previous approaches, prioritizing tumor biology over anatomical features as the primary indication for resection. Condensed herein, they provide a practical management algorithm for clinical practice. However, the guidelines also highlight the need to redefine LA-PDAC to align with modern treatment strategies and to solve some contradictions within the current definiti...

Neoadjuvant low-dose radiotherapy plus durvalumab and chemotherapy for potentially resectable stage III NSCLC: A phase Ib dose-escalation study
CONCLUSION: Neoadjuvant LDRT plus durvalumab and chemotherapy was well-tolerated in potentially resectable stage III NSCLC. The preliminary efficacy supports this combined regimen's potential, the optimal radiotherapy dosage was determined to be 30 Gy in 15 fractions, warranting further clinical investigation.PMID:38679201 | DOI:10.1016/j.radonc.2024.110316 (Source: Radiotherapy and Oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology)

Meta-analysis of the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for locally advanced cervical cancer

Prognostic factors and significance of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with advanced gastric cancer undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by gastrectomy
ConclusionsypN status and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy were independent prognostic factors in gastric cancer patients who underwent NAC followed by curative gastrectomy. It is important to maintain the patient ’s condition during NAC and the perioperative period so that they can receive postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. (Source: Surgery Today)

The multidisciplinary management of locally advanced rectal cancer
Expert Rev Anticancer Ther. 2024 Apr 26. doi: 10.1080/14737140.2024.2349137. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: . The classic paradigm for the management of locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) consists of (chemo)radiotherapy (C)RT), total mesorectal excision and adjuvant chemotherapy (CHT). At present, due to the high rate of distant metastasis (up to 30%), the total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) with the administration of systemic CHT in the neoadjuvant setting has gained acceptance as standard of care.Our aim is to critically review current literature on LARC management and summarize the different approaches recen...

Management of Oligometastatic Colorectal Cancer
Surg Clin North Am. 2024 Jun;104(3):619-629. doi: 10.1016/j.suc.2023.11.011. Epub 2023 Dec 11.ABSTRACTThe management of oligometastatic colorectal cancer differs from the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer, and it is essential that those who treat oligometastatic disease be familiar with the treatment options for these patients. Although definitive treatment is often surgical, there are situations where local therapies such as SBRT or ablative techniques may better serve the patient. Adjuvant therapy should be provided to all patients, and neoadjuvant chemotherapy should be considered as well. The role of immunother...

Total Neoadjuvant Therapy for Rectal Cancer
Surg Clin North Am. 2024 Jun;104(3):609-617. doi: 10.1016/j.suc.2023.11.010. Epub 2024 Feb 12.ABSTRACTThe treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer has traditionally included sequenced multimodal therapy including radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery. The relative contribution of each and the order of treatments have evolved over the years. By the early twenty-first century, there was widespread use of the German Rectal Cancer Trial approach: preoperative chemoradiation, followed by standardized surgery including total mesorectal excision, and finally adjuvant chemotherapy. Recent advances have defined the superiority of...

Retrospective Evaluation of the Efficacy of Total Neoadjuvant Therapy and Chemoradiotherapy Neoadjuvant Treatment in Relation to Surgery in Patients with Rectal Cancer
Conclusions: By using TNT, a higher rate of stage reduction is obtained compared to the neoadjuvant CRT treatment. The post-neoadjuvant-treatment imagistic evaluation fails to accurately evaluate the response. A better response to TNT was observed in young patients.PMID:38674302 | PMC:PMC11052151 | DOI:10.3390/medicina60040656 (Source: Medicina (Kaunas))
