Adjuvant Chemotherapy Regimens in Resected Biliary Tract Cancers: National, Comparative, Observational Study (TOG/GI‐SAFRADJU‐2501)

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The recommended adjuvant chemotherapy (adj‐ChT) regimen for resected biliary tract cancers (BTC) is capecitabine (Cape); yet, the recommendation is based on limited evidence. Although varied adj‐ChTs have been employed in practice, robust real‐world data is scarce. We conducted a national, multicenter, hospital‐based registry study to evaluate

Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for esophageal/gastroesophageal carcinoma.

open access: yesJournal of gastrointestinal oncology, 2013
Esophageal/gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma is increasingly treated with trimodality therapy. We present our experience using carboplatin/paclitaxel and radiotherapy followed by surgery.Consecutive patients with distal esophageal/GEJ adenocarcinoma (≥T2 or N+) treated from July 2010 to October 2011 were identified.

Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy and Adjuvant Chemoradiotherapy in the Treatment of Gastric Adenocarcinomas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Purpose: Gastric cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. From 1974-1975, patients who received gastric resection only had a 5-year survival rate of 15.3%.16 With the introduction of chemoradiotherapy, the 5-year survival rate

Tolerability of Adjuvant Nivolumab in Esophageal or Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer: A Real‐World Study

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Adjuvant nivolumab is approved for esophageal or gastroesophageal junction cancer after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and resection. In the CheckMate‐577 trial, Grade 3–5 nivolumab‐related adverse events (AEs) occurred in 5% of patients, with early discontinuation due to toxicity in 9%. However, real‐world data on immunotherapy‐related adverse

Clinical Translation of Patient‐Derived Organoids: Perspectives for Personalized Therapy in Cancer

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Patient‐derived organoids (PDO) are accelerating precision medicine. These biological platforms allow for the autologous in vitro expansion of material from cancer patients in a considerably short period of time. These three‐dimensional models can faithfully recapitulate aspects of tissue heterogeneity, architecture, and relevant cellular ...
