Distance Traveled and Disparities in Patients Undergoing Cytoreductive Surgery and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy
CONCLUSION: More than 50% of the patients traveled farther than 100 miles for treatment. Although regionalization of CRS/HIPEC may be appropriate given the lack of survival difference based on distance traveled, those who traveled further had fewer health care disparities but higher PCI scores and more R2 resections, which raises concerns about access to care for the underserved, time to treatment, and surgical quality.PMID:37980711 | DOI:10.1245/s10434-023-14469-1 (Source: Ann Oncol)

Efficacy and safety of chemotherapy in young patients with advanced gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma: data from the Spanish AGAMENON-SEOM registry
ConclusionsIn the AGAMENON-SEOM registry, younger patients with GCYA exhibited more aggressive clinicopathological features, and despite receiving more aggressive treatments, similar efficacy outcomes and toxicity profiles were achieved compared to their older counterparts.MiniabstractIn the AGAMENON-SEOM registry, GEAC in < 45 years showed more aggressive clinicopathological features and, although treated with more intense first-line CT regimens, similar efficacy outcomes and toxicity were achieved compared to older patients.

Predicting Peritoneal Carcinomatosis in Locally Advanced Gastric Cancer: The Significance of Tumor Markers in the Peritoneal Washing
ConclusionPerforming the peritoneal liquid harvest during staging laparoscopy makes this analysis cost effective, reproducible, and does not add further morbidity. CA 125 and CEA, individually and in association, are good predictors of progression of disease and mortality within a year of staging laparoscopy in GC patients.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Abdominal CT for Locally Advanced Colon Tumors: Can We Really Entrust Certain Decisions to the Reliability of CT?
J Clin Med. 2023 Oct 26;12(21):6764. doi: 10.3390/jcm12216764.ABSTRACTMany different options of neoadjuvant treatments for advanced colon cancer are emerging. An accurate preoperative staging is crucial to select the most appropriate treatment option. A retrospective study was carried out on a national series of operated patients with T4 tumors. Considering the anatomo-pathological analysis of the surgical specimen as the gold standard, a diagnostic accuracy study was carried out on the variables T and N staging and the presence of peritoneal metastases (M1c). The parameters calculated were sensitivity, specificity, positi...

Prognostic value of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy in gastric cancer with synchronous peritoneal metastases: a real-world retrospective study
