PURPOSE The optimal therapeutic sequence of the adjuvant chemotherapy component preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer is controversial. Induction before CRT may be associated better efficacy and compliance. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total 108 were randomly assigned to arm A-preoperative capecitabine, oxaliplatin, concurrent radiation followed by surgery four cycles postoperative capecitabine oxaliplatin (CAPOX)-or B-induction CAPOX surgery....

Abstract Purpose. The aim of this phase III trial was to compare the efficacy and safety bevacizumab alone with those capecitabine plus oxaliplatin (XELOX) as maintenance treatment following induction chemotherapy XELOX in first-line patients metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Patients Methods. were randomly assigned receive six cycles bevacizumab, capecitabine, every 3 weeks followed by or until progression. primary endpoint progression-free survival (PFS) interval; secondary endpoints...

Total neoadjuvant treatment (TNT) is a valid strategy for patients with high-risk locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). Biomarkers of response to TNT are an unmet clinical need. We aimed determine the value circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) predict response, recurrence, and survival in LARC treated TNT.The GEMCAD 1402 was phase II randomized, multicentric trial that randomized 180 modified schedule fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX6) +/- aflibercept, followed by chemoradiation...

Although chemotherapy is the cornerstone treatment for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), acquired chemoresistance common and constitutes main reason failure. Monoclonal antibodies against insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R) have been tested in pre-treated mCRC patients, but results largely deceiving. We analysed time to progression, overall survival, mutational status of RAS, BRAF nuclear p-IGF-1R expression by immunohistochemistry, 470 CRC patients. The effect...

Abstract Background. The need for preoperative chemoradiation or short-course radiation in all T3 rectal tumors is a controversial issue. A multicenter phase II trial was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant capecitabine oxaliplatin combined with bevacizumab patients intermediate-risk adenocarcinoma. Methods. We recruited 46 adenocarcinoma selected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) who were candidates (R0) resection located middle third clear mesorectal fascia...

Abstract Background Immune check-point blockade (ICB) has shown clinical benefit in mismatch repair-deficient/microsatellite instability high metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) but not repair-proficient/microsatellite stable patients. Cancer vaccines with autologous dendritic cells (ADC) could be a complementary therapeutic approach to ICB as this combination the potential achieve synergistic effects. Methods This was Phase I/II multicentric study translational sub-studies, evaluate safety,...

Abstract Purpose: Preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is the treatment of choice for rectal cancer (RC), but half patients do not respond, suffer unnecessary toxicities, and surgery delays. We aimed to develop a model that could predict clinically meaningful response CRT by using formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) biopsies. Experimental Design: first carried out an exploratory screening candidate genes SAGE technology evaluate dynamic changes in RC transcriptome selected refractory...

Abstract Background The results of the Grupo Español Multidisciplinar en Cáncer Digestivo (GEMCAD)-1402 phase II randomized trial suggested that adding aflibercept to modified fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, and leucovorin (mFOLFOX6) induction, followed by chemoradiation surgery, could increase pathological complete response (pCR) rate in patients with high-risk, locally advanced rectal cancer. Here we update up 3 years follow-up evaluate predictive value consensus molecular subtypes identified...
