Impact of gastrectomy on efficacy and safety of second‐line chemotherapy patients with advanced gastric cancer: Exploratory analysis of two randomized phase III trials

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
In an analysis of two RCTs of IRI‐based second‐line chemotherapy for AGC, patients with prior gastrectomy had better OS and PFS than patients without prior gastrectomy. Furthermore, patients with prior gastrectomy had a better prognosis in OS and PFS adjusted for background factors as well. Abstract Aims Second‐line chemotherapy (SLC) improves survival

A mathematical perspective on the paradox that chemotherapy sometimes works backwards [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Doctors are well aware that sometimes cancer treatments not only fail, but even work backwards, i.e. they make the treated tumor grow. In this work we present a mathematical perspective on this paradox in the case of chemotherapy, by studying a minimally parameterized mathematical model for the system composed of the tumor and the surrounding ...

Our study examined the characteristics of elderly patients diagnosed with ulcerative colitis‐associated colorectal cancer. We showed that factors associated with aggressive tumor characteristics played a significant role in recurrence risk in the nonelderly patients, but not in the elderly patients.

Three timepoint perioperative CEA levels are a prognostic factor for recurrence after adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with Stage II and III colorectal cancer

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the three timepoint perioperative CEA (ttpCEA) calculated at three timepoints and recurrence during the perioperative period in Stage II and III colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. A total of 538 patients were included for the training data and 329 patients for validation data, and 5‐y time‐to ...

Preoperative sarcopenia negatively impacts short‐ and long‐term outcomes of rectal cancer: A propensity score‐matched analysis

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study examined the effects of skeletal muscle mass on the short‐ and long‐term outcomes of rectal cancer. This study revealed that preoperative sarcopenia was associated with more total postoperative complications, more anastomotic leakage, and worse survival in rectal cancer patients.

Lipid metabolism in pancreatic cancer: emerging roles and potential targets

open access: yesCancer Communications, Volume 42, Issue 12, Page 1234-1256, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Pancreatic cancer is one of the most serious health issues in developed and developing countries, with a 5‐year overall survival rate currently <9%. Patients typically present with advanced disease due to vague symptoms or lack of screening for early cancer detection.
