RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The standard of care for the treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) results in an excellent local disease control but the metastasis rates remain high. PRODIGE 23 demonstrated improved disease-free survival (DFS) and metastasis-free survival (MFS) with total neoadjuvant therapy versus standard of care in this population. Long-term analysis of overall survival (OS) is reported here. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study design, participants, and primary endpoint DFS have been reported for this multicenter, randomized, open-label, phase III trial investigating the neoadjuvant chemotherapy with mFOLFIRINOX (6 cycles) followed by chemoradiotherapy, surgery, and adjuvant chemotherapy (6 cycles), versus chemoradiotherapy, surgery, and adjuvant chemotherapy (12 cycles) in patients with locally advanced rectal adenocarcinoma under peritoneal reflection on magnetic resonance imaging, and staged cT3/T4. Key secondary endpoints included OS, MFS, and local and metastatic recurrence rate. RESULTS: With a median follow-up of 82.2 months, the 7-year DFS was 67.6% [95% confidence interval (CI) 60.7% to 73.9%] and 62.5% (95% CI 55.6% to 68.6%) [restricted mean survival time (RMST) difference 5.73 months, 95% CI 0.05-11.41 months, P = 0.048] in the neoadjuvant chemotherapy and the standard-of-care groups, respectively. The 7-year MFS was 79.2% (95% CI 73.0% to 84.4%) in the neoadjuvant chemotherapy group and 72.3% (95% CI 65.8% to 77.8%) in the standard-of-care group (RMST difference 6.1 months, 95% CI 0.93-11.37 months, P = 0.021). The 7-year OS was 81.9% (95% CI 75.8% to 86.6%) in the neoadjuvant chemotherapy group and 76.1% (95% CI 69.7% to 81.2%) in the standard-of-care group (RMST difference 4.37 months, 95% CI 0.35-8.38 months, P = 0.033). The safety profile remained unchanged since the previous analysis. CONCLUSIONS: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy with mFOLFIRINOX followed by chemoradiotherapy improved OS, confirmed long-term DFS and MFS benefits in LARC patients, and should be considered as one of the best options of care for these patients.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Chemotherapy for metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) primarily relies on FOLFIRINOX (LV5FU- irinotecan - Oxaliplatine) and Gemcitabine - Nab-Paclitaxel in the first-line setting. However, second-lines remain less well-defined and there is limited data regarding third-line treatments. The objective of our study was to determine the proportion of patients advancing to third line chemotherapy, to outline the various third-line chemotherapy regimens used in routine practice and to evaluate their respective efficacy. METHODS: A retrospective single-center cohort from 2010-2022 compiled baseline characteristics, treatment outcomes and survival of PDAC patients who received at least one chemotherapy line in a French tertiary-center. Overall survivals (OS) were analyzed using a Cox multivariable model. RESULTS: In total, 676 patients were included, with a median follow-up time of 69.4 months, (Interquartile Range (IQR) = 72.1). Of these, 251 patients (37%) that proceeded to 3rd-line chemotherapy. The median PFS in 3rd line was 2.03 months, [CI95%: 1.83, 2.36]. The median 3rd line overall survival was 5.5 months, [CI95%: 4.8, 6.3]. In multivariable analysis erlotinib-based chemotherapy was found to be deleterious (HR=2.38, [CI95%: 1.30, 4.34], p=0.005) compared to fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy in terms of 3rd line overall survival while gemcitabine monotherapy showed a tendency towards negative outcomes. First and 2nd line chemotherapies sequence didn't influence 3rd line outcome. CONCLUSION: In our cohort, one-third of treated patients proceeded to 3rd line chemotherapy resulting in a 5.5 months median 3rd line OS, consistent with treatments at advanced stage. Our results argue against the use of erlotinib and gemcitabine monotherapy.

BACKGROUND: Squamous cell anal carcinoma (SCAC) is an uncommon neoplasia often cured by surgery and/or chemo-adiation therapy at the localized stage. Although the first-line treatment for metastatic anal canal cancer is now better codified with two validated treatment regimens, carboplatin-paclitaxel and modified docetaxel-cisplatin-5FU (DCF), there is little data and no consensus regarding subsequent lines [1-5]. In this study, we report the safety and efficacy of cetuximab (an epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor) in combination with 5-FU plus irinotecan based chemotherapy. METHOD: A retrospective analysis of patients with metastatic SCAC (mSCAC), who failed on at least one prior line of treatment, before being treated with the combination FOLFIRI and cetuximab between March 2015 and February 2022 at Gustave Roussy cancer center, was performed. RESULTS: A total of 33 patients with a pre-treated mSCAC were analyzed. The combination of FOLFIRI and cetuximab provided a disease control rate (DCR) of 73%, and response rate of 30%. With a median follow-up of 38 months, the median progression free survival was 5.5 months, and the median overall survival was 13.7 months. Fourteen patients (42%) experienced grade III/IV adverse events that remained manageable. CONCLUSION: Our study suggests that FOLFIRI and cetuximab is a promising combination in the management of mSCAC with a very good DCR and a manageable toxicity profile. Further prospective trials would be needed to confirm our results.

Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a disease characterized by a high curability rate, and the treatment benefit-risk balance must be carefully addressed to achieve complete disease control with low risk of long-term toxicities. Most patients are treated with a combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, after disease staging and response to treatment evaluated by FDG PET/CT. We report the case of a 28-year-old patient concomitantly diagnosed of a Hodgkin lymphoma and active tuberculosis. Initial staging was difficult due to pulmonary and abdominal tuberculosis localization that induced FDG PET/CT hypermetabolism. Anti-tuberculosis treatment was first started, allowing secondary an early accurate Hodgkin lymphoma staging by FDG PET/CT. The patient was then treated by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Helical TomoTherapy® was used with involved site (IS) irradiation volume was performed to decrease the high doses to organs-at-risk (OAR), especially lungs in this context of tuberculosis.

BACKGROUND: Microphthalmia Transcription Factor (MITF)family translocation renal cell carcinoma (tRCC) is a rare RCC subtype harboring TFE3/TFEB translocations. The prognosis in the metastatic (m) setting is poor. Programmed death ligand-1 expression was reported in 90% of cases, prompting us to analyze the benefit of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in this population. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This multicenter retrospective study identified patients with MITF family mtRCC who had received an ICI in any of 12 referral centers in France or the USA. Response rate according to RECIST criteria, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) were analyzed. Genomic alterations associated with response were determined for 8 patients. RESULTS: Overall, 24 patients with metastatic disease who received an ICI as second or later line of treatment were identified. Nineteen (82.6%) of these patients had received a VEGFR inhibitor as first-line treatment, with a median PFS of 3 months (range, 1-22 months). The median PFS for patients during first ICI treatment was 2.5 months (range, 1-40 months); 4 patients experienced partial response (16,7%) and 3 (12,5%) had stable disease. Of the patients whose genomic alterations were analyzed, two patients with mutations in bromodomain-containing genes (PBRM1 and BRD8) had a clinical benefit. Resistant clones in a patient with exceptional response to ipilimumab showed loss of BRD8 mutations and increased mutational load driven by parallel evolution affecting 17 genes (median mutations per gene, 3), which were enriched mainly for O-glycan processing (29.4%, FDR = 9.7 × 10- 6). CONCLUSIONS: MITF family tRCC is an aggressive disease with similar responses to ICIs as clear-cell RCC. Mutations in bromodomain-containing genes might be associated with clinical benefit. The unexpected observation about parallel evolution of genes involved in O-glycosylation as a mechanism of resistance to ICI warrants exploration.
