Impact of Systemic Treatments on Outcomes and Quality of Life in Patients with RAS-Positive Stage IV Colorectal Cancer: A Systematic Review. (PubMed, Diseases)
From an initial pool of 1345 articles, 11 relevant studies were selected for inclusion, encompassing a diverse range of systemic treatments, including panitumumab combined with FOLFOX4 and FOLFIRI, irinotecan paired with panitumumab, regorafenib followed by cetuximab ± irinotecan and vice versa, and panitumumab as a maintenance therapy post-induction...Notably, cetuximab + FOLFIRI was associated with a median survival of 25.7 months versus 16.4 months for FOLFIRI alone, emphasizing the potential benefits of integrating targeted therapies with chemotherapy. In conclusion, the review underscores the significant impact of systemic treatments, particularly targeted therapies and their combinations with chemotherapy, on survival outcomes and QoL in patients with RAS-positive stage IV colorectal cancer, and the need for personalized treatment.

Helminth-derived molecules improve 5-fluorouracil treatment on experimental colon tumorigenesis. (PubMed, Biomed Pharmacother)
Combination treatment with leucovorin and oxaliplatin or irinotecan improves the effectiveness of 5FU therapy. In vitro assays with human colon cancer cell lines showed that therapy with TcES+5FU significantly reduced cell proliferation and migration by modulating the P53 and P21 signaling pathways. Our findings demonstrate, for the first time in vivo, that helminth-derived excreted/secreted products may potentiate the effect of 5FU on established colon tumors.

The Molecular Characteristics and Therapeutic Implications of O-Glycan Synthesis in Pancreatic Cancer by Integrating Transcriptome and Single-Cell Data. (PubMed, Curr Med Chem)
We first constructed molecular subtypes and prognostic models related to O-glycan biosynthesis in PC. It is clear that O-glycan biosynthesis is related to the development, prognosis, immune microenvironment, and treatment of PC. This provides new strategies for stratification, diagnosis, and treatment of PC patients.

Assembly of Glycopeptides in Living Cells Resembling Viral Infection for Cargo Delivery. (PubMed, Angew Chem Int Ed Engl)
Co-assembling of the glycosylated peptide with two counterparts containing irinotecan (IRI) or ligand TSFAEYWNLLSP (PMI) results in formation of the glycosylated co-assemblies SgVEIP, which target cancer cells via β-galactose-galectin-1 association and undergo galactosidase-induced morphological transformation...In vivo studies illustrate enhanced tumor accumulation and retention of the glycosylated co-assemblies, thereby suppressing tumor growth. Our findings demonstrate an in situ assembly strategy mimicking viral infection, thus providing a new route for drug delivery and cancer therapy in the future.

The Safety and Effectiveness of Bevacizumab in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer With Unresectable Metastases: A Real-Life Study From the South of Morocco. (PubMed, Cureus)
In the first line, all patients received bi-chemotherapy plus bevacizumab, i.e., fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, and leucovorin in 34 (20.9%) patients; capecitabine plus oxaliplatin in 88 (54.3%) patients; leucovorin, fluorouracil, and irinotecan in 17 (10.4%) patients; and capecitabine plus irinotecan in 23 (14.1%) patients. With the new healthcare and social security systems, easier access to expensive treatments and molecular pathology tests is currently available. It is important to highlight that real-world data can offer valuable insights into the daily clinical practice of medical oncology.

Ginsenoside Rh4 alleviates gastrointestinal mucositis and enhances chemotherapy efficacy through modulating gut microbiota. (PubMed, Phytomedicine)
In summary, our findings confirm that ginsenoside Rh4 can alleviate CPT-11-induced gastrointestinal mucositis and enhance the anti-tumor activity of CPT-11 by modulating gut microbiota and its related metabolites. Our study validates the potential of ginsenoside Rh4 as a modulator of the gut microbiota and an adjunctive agent for chemotherapy, offering new therapeutic strategies for addressing chemotherapy side effects and improving chemotherapy efficacy.

Adverse event costs associated with systemic therapies for metastatic colorectal cancer previously treated with oxaliplatin- and irinotecan- based chemotherapy therapy in the United States (AMCP 2024)
"BACKGROUND: Systemic therapies such as fruquintinib, regorafenib, and trifluridine/tipiracil (T/T) have demon- strated survival benefits vs best supportive care (BSC) in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) pre- viously treated with oxaliplatin- and irinotecan-based chemotherapy (OIC)...OBJECTIVE: To compare the AE management costs of fruquin- tinib, regorafenib, T/T and T/T+bevacizumab (T/T+bev) for mCRC previously treated with OIC, from US Commercial and Medicare payer perspectives... Based on the cost-consequence model results, fruquintinib was associated with lower AE manage- ment costs compared with regorafenib, T/T, and T/T+bev for patients with mCRC previously treated with OIC, which should be considered in treatment and formulary decision- making."

Therapy-induced senescent tumor cell-derived extracellular vesicles promote colorectal cancer progression through SERPINE1-mediated NF-κB p65 nuclear translocation. (PubMed, Mol Cancer)
We provide the in vivo evidence of the clinical prognostic implications of therapy-induced senescence. Our results revealed that STCs were responsible for CRC progression by producing large amounts of EVs enriched in SERPINE1. These findings further confirm the crucial role of therapy-induced senescence in tumor progression and offer a potential therapeutic strategy for CRC treatment.
