Abstract
FOLFOX is a combination of chemotherapeutic agents (5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin) and is used to treat advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) but induces various side effects. Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is one of the most critical side effects that compromise the quality of life of patients with CRC undergoing FOLFOX chemotherapy. This study aimed to evaluate circulating miRNA, cortisol and catecholamine as potential biomarkers that can predict FOLFOX-CIPN symptoms. High-throughput microRNA (miRNA) sequencing was performed on the RNA circulating in the plasma of eight patients with CRC who underwent FOLFOX chemotherapy. miRNA expression profiles were evaluated according to two groups: those who underwent ≤3 cycles and those who underwent ≥6 cycles of FOLFOX chemotherapy. The identified miRNAs were validated in 27 patients with CRC who underwent FOLFOX chemotherapy using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Target genes were predicted using bioinformatics and functional analyses. Cortisol and catecholamine concentrations in peripheral plasma were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. miR-3184-5p was differentially expressed when miRNA expression was compared between the groups that underwent ≤3 and ≥6 cycles of FOLFOX chemotherapy. Cortisol levels were significantly higher in the group that underwent ≥6 cycles of FOLFOX chemotherapy than in the group that underwent ≤3 cycles. This study suggests that miR-3184-5p may be a potential marker for predicting CIPN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chemoresistance is a critical factor contributing to poor prognosis in clinical patients with cancer undergoing postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. The role of gut microbiota in mediating resistance to tumour chemotherapy remains to be investigated. METHODS Patients with CRC were categorised into clinical benefit responders (CBR) and no clinical benefit responders (NCB) based on chemotherapy efficacy. Differential bacterial analysis using 16S rRNA sequencing revealed Desulfovibrio as a distinct microbe between the two groups. Employing a syngeneic transplantation model, we assessed the effect of Desulfovibrio on chemotherapy by measuring tumour burden, weight, and Ki-67 expression. We further explored the mechanisms underlying the compromised chemotherapeutic efficacy of Desulfovibrio using metabolomics, western blotting, colony formation, and cell apoptosis assays. FINDINGS In comparison, Desulfovibrio was more abundant in the NCB group. In vivo experiments revealed that Desulfovibrio colonisation in the gut weakened the efficacy of FOLFOX. Treatment with Desulfovibrio desulfuricans elevates serum S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) levels. Interestingly, SAM reduced the sensitivity of CRC cells to FOLFOX, thereby promoting the growth of CRC tumours. These experiments suggest that SAM promotes the growth and metastasis of CRC by driving the expression of methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3). INTERPRETATION A high abundance of Desulfovibrio in the intestines indicates poor therapeutic outcomes for postoperative neoadjuvant FOLFOX chemotherapy in CRC. Desulfovibrio drives the manifestation of METTL3 in CRC, promoting resistance to FOLFOX chemotherapy by increasing the concentration of SAM. FUNDING This study is supported by Wuxi City Social Development Science and Technology Demonstration Project (N20201005).

Abstract
FOLFOX regimen, composed of folinic acid, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and oxaliplatin (OXP), has been used as clinical standard therapeutic regimen in treatments of colorectal cancer (CRC) and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). To further improve its therapeutic outcomes, FOLFOX was combined with anti-PD-1 antibody to form an advanced chemo-immune combination strategy, which has been proven more efficient in controlling cancer progression and prolonging patients' survival in various clinical trials. However, bad tumor accumulation, relative high toxicity, numerous treatment cycles with high fees and low compliance as well as drug resistance seriously limit the prognosis of FOLFOX regimen. The "all-in-one" formulations, which could precisely delivery multidrug regimen into tumor sites and cells, showed a promising application prospect for targeted drug delivery as well as reducing side effects. However, the design and preparation of the "all-in-one" formulation with high drug encapsulation efficiencies for all drugs was still challenging. Herein, a lipid core-shell nanoparticle codelivery platform was designed for simultaneous encapsulation of variant FOLFOX composed of miriplatin (MiPt), 5-Fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine 5'-monophosphate (FdUMP), calcium folinate (CF) and PD-L1 siRNA (siPD-L1) with high efficiencies, and their synergistic anti-tumor mechanisms were studied, respectively. MiPt, a precursor of OXP, was validated capable of inducing efficient immunogenic cell death (ICD) in this work. Additionally, ICD-mediated release of damage associated molecular patterns functionalized synergistically with PD-L1 silence by siPD-L1 to overcome chemoresistance, reverse suppressive tumor microenvironment and recruit more CD8+ T cells. FdUMP, as the intracellular active form of 5-FU, could induce large amounts of reactive oxygen species to enhance the ICD. CF worked as the sensitizer of FdUMP. The enhanced long-term anti-tumor effect of the prepared "all-in-one" formulation compared to free drug regimen and other controls, was verified in heterotopic CRC mice models and ESCC mice models, providing new thoughts for researchers and showing a promising prospect of translation into clinical applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No widely used prognostic tool exists to demonstrate the benefit of oxaliplatin plus 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin (FOLFOX4) in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We aimed to establish a prognostic score and demonstrate the real-world efficacy of FOLFOX4 chemotherapy in Thai patients. METHODS Between August 2017 and December 2021, we identified 58 FOLFOX4-treated patients with HCC. Overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and objective response rate (ORR) were assessed. The prognostic score was constructed by stepwise Cox proportional hazards regression analysis to select variables for the best model with the lowest Akaike information criterion from all potential variables. RESULTS Forty-four patients (76%) received FOLFOX4 as first-line therapy. The ORR in the entire cohort was 8.6%, and the disease control rate was 29.3%. The PFS and OS were 3.7 and 4.8 months, respectively. Four clinically relevant variables were included in the new prognostic score to predict 6-month OS: L, the presence of lung metastasis; A, alcoholic cirrhosis; B, elevated total bilirubin level; and S, sorafenib-naïve status. Using the LABS score, patients were classified into low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups, demonstrating OS values of 9.3, 4.2, and 2.1 months, respectively (p < 0.0001). The C-index and area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve of the score were 0.71 and 0.73, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The proposed LABS score could discriminate patients who would derive benefit from FOLFOX4 chemotherapy. FOLFOX4 chemotherapy is an option for patients who cannot receive immunotherapy and targeted therapy, particularly those with a low-risk score. However, further validation of this model via larger cohorts is warranted.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignancies and the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally. Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) treatment is widely accepted as one of the alternative therapeutic modalities for HCC owing to its local control effect and low systemic toxicity. Nevertheless, although accumulating high-quality evidence has displayed the superior survival advantages of HAIC of oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, and leucovorin (HAIC-FOLFOX) compared with standard first-line treatment in different scenarios, the lack of standardization for HAIC procedure and remained controversy limited the proper and safe performance of HAIC treatment in HCC. Therefore, an expert consensus conference was held on March 2023 in Guangzhou, China to review current practices regarding HAIC treatment in patients with HCC and develop widely accepted statements and recommendations. In this article, the latest evidence of HAIC was systematically summarized and the final 22 expert recommendations were proposed, which incorporate the assessment of candidates for HAIC treatment, procedural technique details, therapeutic outcomes, the HAIC-related complications and corresponding treatments, and therapeutic scheme management.

Abstract
Introduction: FOLFOX and FOLFIRI chemotherapy are considered standard first-line treatment options for colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the criteria for selecting the appropriate treatments have not been thoroughly analyzed. Methods: A newly developed machine learning model was applied on several gene expression data from the public repository GEO database to identify molecular signatures predictive of efficacy of 5-FU based combination chemotherapy (FOLFOX and FOLFIRI) in patients with CRC. The model was trained using 5-fold cross validation and multiple feature selection methods including LASSO and VarSelRF methods. Random Forest and support vector machine classifiers were applied to evaluate the performance of the models. Results and Discussion: For the CRC GEO dataset samples from patients who received either FOLFOX or FOLFIRI, validation and test sets were >90% correctly classified (accuracy), with specificity and sensitivity ranging between 85%-95%. In the datasets used from the GEO database, 28.6% of patients who failed the treatment therapy they received are predicted to benefit from the alternative treatment. Analysis of the gene signature suggests the mechanistic difference between colorectal cancers that respond and those that do not respond to FOLFOX and FOLFIRI. Application of this machine learning approach could lead to improvements in treatment outcomes for patients with CRC and other cancers after additional appropriate clinical validation.

Abstract
PURPOSE The usual first- and second-line treatments for inoperable liver metastases from colorectal cancer (CRC) involve systemic chemotherapy, often with molecular targeted therapy. Chemoembolization, using microspheres loaded with irinotecan, has also been available as a treatment option for many years, used mainly in later lines of treatment when, due to increasing resistance, other chemotherapy regimens may have been exhausted. However, when there are contraindications to molecular therapies, the use of chemoembolization as first or second lines of treatment, in combination with FOLFIRI chemotherapy, may provide greater efficacy due to reduced irinotecan resistance. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of transarterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) procedures for the treatment of metastatic liver lesions from CRC, using irinotecan-loaded microspheres as first-line treatment together with FOLFIRI chemotherapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS The analysis included 20 patients (12 females; 8 males) with unresectable liver metastases in the course of CRC with KRAS, NRAS and BRAF mutations, who underwent 73 chemoembolization procedures with microspheres loaded with 100 mg of irinotecan, in combination with interspersed FOLFIRI chemotherapy. Response to treatment was assessed through computed tomography according to the Modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST). Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Assessment of adverse events utilized the Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE; version 5.0). RESULTS Partial remission (PR) was observed in 11 (55%) patients while 5 (25%) patients showed stable disease (SD). Progression (PD) was observed in 4 (20%) patients. Median PFS was 9.1 months (95% CI: 7.2-10.1 months) and median OS was 20.7 months (95% CI: 18.2-23.3 months). The most common adverse events (AEs) resulting in treatment delay were hematological disorders, notably neutropenia (CTCAE grades 1-3). No deaths or AEs above grade 3 occurred during TACE. Continued FOLFIRI chemotherapy after TACE treatments resulted in grade 4 neutropenia in two patients, grade 3 in four patients and grade 2 thrombocytopenia in two patients. CONCLUSION Combining FOLFIRI chemotherapy with chemoembolization procedures for liver metastatic lesions from colorectal cancer may provide a valuable treatment option for patients not qualified for monoclonal antibody therapy.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix (ECM), in which collagen is the most abundant protein, impacts many aspects of tumor physiology, including cellular metabolism and intracellular pH (pHi), as well as the efficacy of chemotherapy. Meanwhile, the role of collagen in differential cell responses to treatment within heterogeneous tumor environments remains poorly investigated. In the present study, we simultaneously monitored the changes in pHi and metabolism in living colorectal cancer cells in vitro upon treatment with a chemotherapeutic combination, FOLFOX (5-fluorouracil, oxaliplatin and leucovorin). The pHi was followed using the new pH-sensitive probe BC-Ga-Ir, working in the mode of phosphorescence lifetime imaging (PLIM), and metabolism was assessed from the autofluorescence of the metabolic cofactor NAD(P)H using fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) with a two-photon laser scanning microscope. To model the ECM, 3D collagen-based hydrogels were used, and comparisons with conventional monolayer cells were made. It was found that FOLFOX treatment caused an early temporal intracellular acidification (reduction in pHi), followed by a shift to more alkaline values, and changed cellular metabolism to a more oxidative state. The presence of unstructured collagen markedly reduced the cytotoxic effects of FOLFOX, and delayed and diminished the pHi and metabolic responses. These results support the observation that collagen is a factor in the heterogeneous response of cancer cells to chemotherapy and a powerful regulator of their metabolic behavior.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) has demonstrated promising benefits in treating advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In China, the most frequently used HAIC regimen is oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil, and leucovorin (FOLFOX). However, arterial infusion of fluorouracil over 46 h was not convenient. Raltitrexed, another antimetabolic agent with a long plasma half-life, allows for shorter infusion durations. We aimed to compare the effectiveness and toxicity of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) combined with HAIC with raltitrexed plus oxaliplatin (RALOX) or FOLFOX in patients with intermediate and advanced HCC. METHODS This retrospective study enrolled 82 eligible patients from February 2019 to December 2021. Forty patients were treated with FOLFOX HAIC (oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2, leucovorin 400 mg/m2, 5-fluorouracil bolus 400 mg/m2 administered on day 1, and 5-fluorouracil 2400 mg/m2 infusion for 46 h, every 3 weeks) combined with TKIs and ICIs. Forty-two patients received RALOX HAIC (oxaliplatin 100 mg/m2 and raltitrexed 3 mg/m2 on day 1, every 3 weeks) combined with TKIs and ICIs. We compared the objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety profile. RESULTS ORR was similar between the FOLFOX HAIC and RALOX HAIC groups (42.5% vs 42.5%, P = 0.974). DCR also showed no significant difference between the two groups (87.5% vs 85.7%, P = 0.813). Median PFS was 10.7 months in the FOLFOX HAIC group versus 10.2 months in the RALOX HAIC group (P = 0.41). Median OS was 20.3 months in the FOLFOX HAIC group, compared to 17.7 months in the RALOX HAIC group (P = 0.50). Both groups had similar profiles of grade 3/4 treatment-related adverse events, including thrombocytopenia, increased aspartate aminotransferase, increased alanine aminotransferase, and leukocytopenia. CONCLUSION The effectiveness and safety of HAIC with RALOX were comparable to HAIC with FOLFOX in intermediate and advanced HCC patients.

Abstract
Anti-EGFR antibodies combined with chemotherapy doublets are a cornerstone of the upfront treatment of colorectal cancer. RAS and BRAF mutations are established negative predictive factors for such therapy. The primary tumour located in the proximal colon has recently emerged as another negative predictive factor. We have conducted a retrospective multicentre study to collect data on real-world population characteristics, practice patterns, and outcomes in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer treated in a first-line setting with either cetuximab or panitumumab in combination with either FOLFOX or FOLFIRI chemotherapy. The presented analysis focuses on the impact of the primary tumour location. 126 of 842 patients analysed (15.0%) had proximal primary. It was associated with a lower BMI at diagnosis, mucinous histology, and peritoneal metastases. It was also associated with inferior treatment outcomes in terms of response ratio: 59.4% vs. 74.22% (odds ratio [OR] 0.51, 95% CI 0.33-0.78, p = 0.010), and median depth of response: -36.7% vs. -50.0% (p = 0.038). There was only a borderline non-significant trend for inferior PFS in patients with proximal tumours. OS data was incomplete. The presented analysis confirms the negative impact of tumour sidedness on the efficacy of an upfront anti-EGFR-chemotherapy combination and provides valuable data on real-world population characteristics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Small bowel cancer (SBC) is a rare malignancy that is often diagnosed at an advanced stage. Palliative chemotherapy is the standard treatment for patients with metastatic SBC. The relevant literature on conversion surgery in patients who have responded favorably to chemotherapy is limited. CASE PRESENTATION A 64-year-old man was diagnosed with jejunal carcinoma with multiple peritoneal metastases. After implanting an expandable metallic stent at the primary site, the patient underwent 6 months of FOLFOX therapy, resulting in a clinical complete response. Chemotherapy was continued, and four years after the initiation of therapy, the patient showed no evidence of disease progression. Nevertheless, anemia of continuous minor hemorrhages from the stent site and general malaise of chemotherapy got progressively worse during treatment. After confirming negative ascites cytology and the absence of peritoneal metastasis via staging laparoscopy, the patient underwent partial jejunectomy. Pathologically, no residual tumor was detected in the resected specimen. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient remained free of recurrence for 30 months after surgery without chemotherapy. CONCLUSION Although infrequent, conversion surgery may be a valid therapeutic option for selected cases of SBC with peritoneal metastasis.

Abstract
PURPOSE The National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines state that the oxaliplatin dose of 85 mg/m2 used in various gastrointestinal cancer regimens may be infused over a rapid rate of 85 min instead of the standard time of 120 min. We evaluated the safety outcomes of rapid administration of oxaliplatin compared to standard infusion. METHODS We performed a retrospective, cohort study by chart review. Adult patients who received oxaliplatin as part of a FOLFOX, FOLFOXIRI, or FOLRINOX chemotherapy regimen from January 1, 2018, through June 30, 2021, were included. Primary outcomes were the incidence of hypersensitivity reaction (HSR) and treatment modification of oxaliplatin due to adverse drug events. Secondary outcomes included peripheral neuropathy (PN), myelosuppressive signs, and oxaliplatin-related emergency department visit and/or hospital admission. RESULTS A total of 178 patients were included (90 and 88 in the rapid-rate and standard-rate groups, respectively). Rapid-rate oxaliplatin was not associated with increased HSR or difference in toxicity requiring dose reduction, delayed dose, or slowed infusion rate, but was associated with increased rate of permanent discontinuation of oxaliplatin, 7.8% and 1.1% in the rapid-rate group and standard-rate groups, respectively (p = 0.032). Peripheral neuropathy occurred in 72.2% and 42% of patients in the rapid-rate group and standard-rate groups, respectively (relative risk for PN, 2.09; 95%, CI: 1.43-3.04; p < .001). There were no differences in any other adverse drug event measured. CONCLUSION Rapid-rate oxaliplatin was associated with minimal treatment modifications; however, there was an increase in PN incidence. A faster rate of oxaliplatin administration may not be worth the increased risk of PN.

Abstract
Introduction The combination of FOLFOX and bevacizumab (FOLFOX-Bev) is a promising treatment for advanced colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the response of the tumor microenvironment to FOLFOX-Bev is still largely unexplored. Methods We conducted single-cell transcriptomic analysis of CRC samples derived from a patient before and after treatment to gain insights into the cellular changes associated with FOLFOX-Bev treatment. Results We found that cancer cells with high proliferative, metastatic, and pro-angiogenic properties respond better to FOLFOX-Bev treatment. Moreover, FOLFOX-Bev enhances CD8+ T cell cytotoxicity, thereby boosting the anti-tumor immune response. Conversely, FOLFOX-Bev impairs the functionality of tumor-associated macrophages, plasma cells, and cancer-associated fibroblasts, leading to a decrease in VEGFB-mediated angiogenesis. Furthermore, FOLFOX-Bev treatment reset intercellular communication, which could potentially affect the function of non-cancer cells. Discussion Our findings provide valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the response of advanced CRC to FOLFOX-Bev treatment and highlight potential targets for improving the efficacy of this treatment strategy.

Abstract
Background: Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) with cisplatin, fluorouracil, and leucovorin (FOLFOX) demonstrated promising efficacy against advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) as an alleviative treatment. We aimed to explore the survival benefit of preoperative FOLFOX-HAIC and establish a predictive nomogram. Methods: This study retrospectively reviewed data from 1251 HCC patients who underwent liver resection. 1027 patients received liver resection alone (LR group), and 224 patients were treated with FOLFOX-HAIC followed by liver resection (HLR group). Propensity score matching (PSM) was conducted between the two groups. The nomogram was established based on the findings of the multivariable Cox regression analysis. Results: After Propensity score matching according to initial tumor characteristics, the 1-, 2-, and 3-year overall survival rates were 85.4, 72.0, and 67.2% in the LR group and 95.2, 84.7, and 75.9% in the HLR group, respectively (p = 0.014). After PSM according to preoperative tumor characteristics, the 1-, 2-, and 3-year OS rates were 87.9, 76.6, and 72.3% in the LR group and 95.4, 84.4, and 75.1% in the HLR group, respectively (p = 0.24). Harrell's C-indexes of the nomogram for OS prediction in patients with preoperative FOLFOX-HAIC were 0.82 (95% CI 0.78-0.86) in the training cohort and 0.87 (95% CI 0.83-0.93) in the validation cohort and the nomogram performed well-fitted calibration curves. Conclusion: Preoperative FOLFOX-HAIC is associated with a longer survival outcome for HCC patients. The novel nomogram efficiently predicted the OS of patients who underwent preoperative FOLFOX-HAIC.

Abstract
Chemoresistance mechanisms of colorectal cancer remain largely elusive. We aim to compare the difference of chemotherapy responses between FOLFOX-resistant and wild-type colorectal cancer cells by proteomic profiling to suggest novel treatment targets. FOLFOX-resistant colorectal cancer cells DLD1-R and HCT116-R were developed by chronic exposure to progressive FOLFOX doses. Proteomic profiling of FOLFOX-resistant and wild-type cells under FOLFOX exposure were conducted by mass-spectrometry-based protein-analysis technology. Verification of selected KEGG pathways was conducted by Western blot. DLD1-R had significantly higher FOLFOX-chemoresistance (10.81 times) than its wild-type counterpart. A total of 309 and 90 differentially expressed proteins were identified in DLD1-R and HCT116-R, respectively. In terms of gene ontology molecular function, RNA binding and cadherin binding ranked first for DLD1 and HCT116 groups, respectively. For gene set enrichment analysis, ribosome pathway and DNA replication were significantly up-regulated and down-regulated in DLD1-R, respectively. The most significantly up-regulated pathway in HCT116-R was regulation of the actin cytoskeleton. Up-regulations in the ribosome pathway (DLD1-R) and actin cytoskeleton (HCT116-R) were verified by Western blot. There were several significantly altered signaling pathways in FOLFOX-resistant colorectal cancer cells under FOLFOX with notable up-regulations in the ribosomal process and actin cytoskeleton.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Fluoropyrimidine and oxaliplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy delivered as 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX), or capecitabine and oxaliplatin (CAPOX) is the standard of care for resected stage III colon cancer. Without randomized trial data, we compared real-world dose intensity, survival outcomes, and tolerability of these regimens. METHODS Records of patients treated with FOLFOX or CAPOX in the adjuvant setting for stage III colon cancer across four institutions in Sydney during 2006-2016 were reviewed. The relative dose intensity (RDI) of fluoropyrimidine and oxaliplatin of each regimen, disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS), and incidence of grade ≥2 toxicities were compared. RESULTS Characteristics of patients receiving FOLFOX (n = 195) and CAPOX (n = 62) were evenly matched. FOLFOX patients had a higher mean RDI for both fluoropyrimidine (85% vs. 78%, p < 0.01) and oxaliplatin (72% vs. 66%, p = 0.06). In spite of a lower RDI, CAPOX patients trended toward a better 5-year DFS (84% vs. 78%, HR = 0.53, p = 0.068) and similar OS (89% vs. 89%, HR = 0.53, p = 0.21) compared to the FOLFOX group. This difference was most pronounced in the high-risk (T4 or N2) group where 5-year DFS was 78% versus 67% (HR = 0.41, p = 0.042). Patients receiving CAPOX experienced more grade ≥2 diarrhea (p = 0.017) and hand-foot syndrome (p < 0.001) but not peripheral neuropathy or myelosuppression. CONCLUSION In a real-world setting, patients who received CAPOX had similar OS rates when compared to those receiving FOLFOX in the adjuvant setting in spite of lower RDI. In the high-risk population, CAPOX appears to demonstrate a superior 5-year DFS over FOLFOX.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Grade 3 gastro-entero-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (G3 GEP-NET) are poorly characterized in terms of molecular features and response to treatments. METHODS Patients with G3 GEP-NET were included if they received capecitabine and temozolomide (CAPTEM) or oxaliplatin with either 5-fluorouracile (FOLFOX) or capecitabine (XELOX) as first-line treatment (chemotherapy cohort). G3 NET which successfully undergone next-generation sequencing (NGS) were included in the NGS cohort. RESULTS In total, 49 patients were included in the chemotherapy cohort: 15 received CAPTEM and 34 received FOLFOX/XELOX. Objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) were 42.9%, 9.0 months, and 33.6 months, respectively. Calculating a Ki67 cutoff using ROC curve analysis, tumors with Ki67 ≥ 40% had lower ORR (51.2% vs. 0%; p = 0.007) and shorter PFS (10.6 months vs. 4.4 months; p < 0.001) and OS (49.4 months vs. 10.0 months; p = 0.023). In patients who received FOLFOX/XELOX as a first-line treatment, ORR, PFS, and OS were 38.2%, 7.9 months, and 30.0 months, respectively. In the NGS cohort (N = 13), the most mutated genes were DAXX/ATRX (N = 5, 38%), MEN1 (N = 4, 31%), TP53 (N = 4, 31%), AKT1 (N = 2, 15%), and PIK3CA (N = 1, 8%). CONCLUSIONS FOLFOX/XELOX chemotherapy is active as the first-line treatment of patients with G3 GEP-NET. The mutational landscape of G3 NET is more similar to well-differentiated NETs than NECs.

Abstract
Aim: To examine the impact of tumor sidedness on clinical outcomes in Chinese patients with metastatic colorectal cancer treated with folinic acid/fluorouracil/oxaliplatin (FOLFOX-4) ± cetuximab in the TAILOR trial. Patients & methods: Clinical data from 391 patients were evaluated for tumor sidedness. Results: Patients with left-sided tumors who received cetuximab plus FOLFOX-4 had a significantly longer overall survival (medians: 22.0 vs 18.3 months; p = 0.007) and progression-free survival (medians: 9.3 vs 7.9 months; p = 0.006) compared with FOLFOX-4 alone. Overall survival (medians: 11.5 vs 9.4 months; p = 0.664) and progression-free survival (medians: 7.4 vs 4.5 months; p = 0.068) also improved in patients with right-sided tumors. Conclusion: Adding cetuximab to first-line FOLFOX-4 in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer improved clinical outcomes irrespective of primary tumor side.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of oxaliplatin-based combination chemotherapy for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) to extrahepatic sites. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a population-based retrospective study examining the safety and effectiveness of perioperative oxaliplatin for resectable or potentially resectable colorectal metastases in Ontario, Canada. Outcomes were also compared with patients with liver-only metastases. Patients received oxaliplatin for mCRC between 1 January 2013 and 30 June 2020. RESULTS In total, 192 patients had extrahepatic metastases. Seventy per cent had R0 metastasectomy. The 3-year disease-free survival and overall survival were 62% and 79%, respectively; <4% of patients died within 60 days of metastasectomy and 74-90% of patients received treatment according to recommendations from a multidisciplinary setting. Compared with liver-only controls (n = 1306), patients had mCRC to the lung only (n = 115), lung and liver (n = 55) and liver with non-pulmonary site (n = 22). Extrahepatic metastases were more likely to be found for patients whose primary colorectal resection had positive margins (14% versus 7%, P = 0.005) and primary tumours located in the rectum [odds ratio 4.01 (2.31-6.97)]. After adjustment, there was no difference in overall survival between liver-only controls and patients with lung-only [hazard ratio 0.82 (0.59-1.15)] or liver and lung metastases [hazard ratio 1.26 (0.85-1.87)] (P = 0.24). In total, 79/115 (69%) of patients with lung-only metastases had a metastasectomy compared with 645/1306 (49%) and 15/55 (27%) of patients with liver-only and liver and lung metastases, respectively. Hospital visits were similar between patients with liver-only and extrahepatic metastases. CONCLUSION Oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy for patients with resectable or potentially resectable mCRC with extrahepatic metastases was safe and resulted in similar outcomes in appropriately selected patients when compared with patients with liver-only metastases.

Abstract
The use of chemotherapeutic agents is of paramount importance when treating colorectal cancer (CRC). Unfortunately, one of the most frequent chemotherapy (CTx) side effects is intestinal mucositis (IM), which may present with several clinical symptoms such as nausea, bloating, vomiting, pain, and diarrhea and even can result in life-threatening complications. There is a focused scientific effort towards developing new therapies to prevent and treat IM. The aim of this study was to assess the outcomes of probiotic supplementation on CTx-induced IM in a CRC liver metastasis rat model. Six-week-old male Wistar rats received either a multispecies probiotic or placebo mixture. On the 28th experiment day, rats received FOLFOX CTx, and afterwards, the severity of diarrhea was evaluated twice daily. Stool samples were collected for further microbiome analysis. Additionally, immunohistochemical stainings of ileum and colon samples with were performed with MPO, Ki67, and Caspase-3 antibodies. Probiotic supplementation alleviates the severity and length of CTx-induced diarrhea. Additionally, probiotics significantly reduced FOLFOX-induced weight and blood albumin loss. Furthermore, probiotic supplementation mitigated CTx-induced histological changes in the gut and promoted intestinal cell regeneration. This study shows that multispecies probiotic supplementation attenuates FOLFOX-induced IM symptoms by inhibiting apoptosis and promoting intestinal cell proliferation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fluorouracil, leucovorin (5FU/LV), and nanoliposomal-irinotecan (nal-IRI) combination therapy has been established as the second-line treatment for advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Oxaliplatin with 5FU/LV (FOLFOX) is often used as a subsequent treatment, although its efficacy and safety are yet to be fully elucidated. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of FOLFOX as a third- or later-line treatment for patients with advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. METHODS We conducted a single-centre, retrospective study that enrolled 43 patients who received FOLFOX after failure of gemcitabine-based regimen followed by 5FU/LV + nal-IRI therapy between October 2020 and January 2022. FOLFOX therapy consisted of oxaliplatin (85 mg/m2), levo-leucovorin calcium (200 mg/m2) and 5-FU (2400 mg/m2) every 2 weeks per cycle. Overall survival, progression-free survival, objective response, and adverse events were evaluated. RESULTS At the median follow-up time of 3.9 months in all patients, the median overall survival and progression-free survival were 3.9 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 3.1-4.8) and 1.3 months (95% CI, 1.0-1.5), respectively. Response and disease control rates were 0 and 25.6%, respectively. The most common adverse event was anaemia in all grades followed by anorexia; the incidence of anorexia and grades 3 and 4 was 21 and 4.7%, respectively. Notably, grades 3-4 peripheral sensory neuropathy was not observed. Multivariable analysis revealed that a C-reactive protein (CRP) level of > 1.0 mg/dL was a poor prognostic factor for both progression-free survival and overall survival: hazard ratios were 2.037 (95% CI, 1.010-4.107; p = 0.047) and 2.471 (95% CI, 1.063-5.745; p = 0.036), respectively. CONCLUSION FOLFOX as a subsequent treatment after failure of second-line treatment with 5FU/LV + nal-IRI is tolerable, although its efficacy is limited, particularly in patients with high CRP levels.

Abstract
Background In recent years, hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) has gained popularity in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. Although several studies have been published, no bibliometric analysis have been conducted on this topic. Objectives To understand the development status and future trends in the application of HAIC, we conducted bibliometric analysis to examine the cooperation and influence among countries, institutions, authors, and journals. Methods All relevant articles and reviews on the use of HAIC in HCC treatment were retrieved from the Web of Science database. A bibliometric analysis of countries, institutions, journals, authors, and keywords related to this field was performed using R and VOSviewer software. The main aspects analyzed were the research status and key fields of HAIC in HCC treatment. Results A total of 1026 articles published in 292 journals by 4937 authors from 959 institutions between 1974 and 2021 were retrieved. A rapid increase in articles published after 1990 was observed, which reached the peak in 2021. Japan had the most publications and citations. Yonsei University, Sun Yat-sen University, and Hiroshima University were the three leading institutions in research on this topic. Kwang-Hyub Han and Masatoshi Kudo have the greatest academic influence in this field. Most publications were made in the Hepato-Gastroenterology, whereas cancer had the most citations. The main aspects of HAIC treatment of HCC include HAIC and TACE, chemotherapy drug selection, HAIC and targeted therapy and immunotherapy, HAIC and surgery, and hepatotoxicity. Keywords such as FOLFOX, lenvatinib, hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy are hot words in this field in recent years. Conclusion The research on the use of HAIC in the treatment of HCC has been on the rise. Currently, HAIC combined with targeted therapy or immunotherapy has attracted significant attention.

Abstract
Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are highly vascularized neoplasms. While FOLFOX chemotherapy has shown efficacy in patients with advanced NETs, its combination with antiangiogenics has been scarcely described. Here, we report the efficacy and tolerance of FOLFOX-bevacizumab in this setting. We retrospectively studied all consecutive patients with metastatic NET treated by FOLFOX-bevacizumab in two expert centers from 2013 to 2020. We assessed time to treatment failure (TTF), objective response rate (ORR) and toxicity. We explored factors associated with TTF and ORR using multivariate analyses. We included 57 patients (35.1% female, median age 61.7 years), with pancreatic (66.7%), small-intestine (14%) or lung (7%) NETs. Most patients (57.9%) had extra-hepatic metastases and G3 NETs accounted for 40.3% of cases. Patients received a median of 17 cycles of treatment, including a median of seven cycles of bevacizumab and/or 5-fluorouracile maintenance. Median TTF was 15.5 months (95% CI: 9.8-21.2) and was shorter in patients age > 60 years (HR 2.56, 95% CI: 1.16-5.64), p = .020) and >1 previous systemic treatment line (HR 4.15, 95% CI: 1.96-8.78), p < .001). The ORR was 42.9% and was higher in cases of performance status at 0 (OR 5.25, 95% CI: 1.13-24.35), p = .034) and G3 NET (OR 5.39, 95% CI: 1.23-23.52), p = .025). The FOLFOX-bevacizumab combination has promising efficacy in patients with progressive metastatic NETs and notably for G3 NETs, for which optimal treatment as yet remains ill-defined. Hence, it could be a relevant alternative to alkylating-based chemotherapy in this setting and should be further explored prospectively.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide. Patients with CRC may need chemotherapy (CTx) in a neoadjuvant, adjuvant or palliative setting through the course of the disease. Unfortunately, its effect is limited by chemoresistance and chemotoxicity. Novel more effective and non‑toxic CTx regimens are needed to further improve CRC treatment outcomes. Thus, the present study was designed to test the hypothesis that non‑toxic sulforaphane (SF) is effective against CRC and has additive effects in combination with conventional 5‑fluorouracil, oxaliplatin and folinic acid (FOLFOX) CTx in vitro. Highly metastatic human colon cancer cells, CX‑1, and fibroblasts were treated with FOLFOX ± SF. Cell viability was assessed using an MTT assay. The level of apoptosis and the expression of apoptotic proteins were measured by TUNEL assay and quantitative PCR analysis. Aldehyde dehydrogenase isoform 1 (ALDH1) and multidrug resistance protein 2 (MRP2) levels were evaluated. The ability of cells to form spheroids was measured in three‑dimensional cell culture. SF alone and in combination with FOLFOX effectively decreased the viability of the CX‑1 cells, promoted apoptosis within the CX‑1 cells, prevented cellular spheroid formation and decreased ALDH1 activity. However, SF promoted MRP2 expression and protein levels. In conclusion, SF together with conventional FOLFOX has additive anticancer effects against highly metastatic human CRC in vitro.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multikinase inhibitors (MKIs) represent the main treatment options for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (aHCC). However, accessibility in developing countries is limited. A chemotherapy, Fluorouracil and Oxaliplatin (FOLFOX), offers a less expensive treatment. Therefore, this study sought to compare the clinical effectiveness of FOLFOX with Sorafenib as a first-line treatment for aHCC in real-life practice. METHODS A retrospective aHCC cohort from four Thai hospitals was investigated for patients who received FOLFOX or Sorafenib between 2013-2019. Multiple imputation by chained equations addressed missing covariate data in a treatment effect model using Weight-adjusted-censoring inverse-probability-weighted regression adjustment; overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were estimated. RESULTS A total of 504 patients were included, (Sorafenib [n = 382] and FOLFOX [n = 122]). The treatment effect model estimated a median OS for Sorafenib and FOLFOX of 11.38 and 8.22 months, representing a significantly shorter OS (95% confidence interval) of -3.16 (-6.21, -0.11) months for FOLFOX, p = 0.042. A significant shorter median PFS of FOLFOX to Sorafenib of -2.13 (-3.03, -1.24) months, p < 0.001, was reported. CONCLUSION Despite significantly shorter median OS and PFS than Sorafenib, FOLFOX still extended OS by 8.22 months. This evidence may offer clinical utility to physicians considering treatment options for aHCC in low resource settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An uninterrupted dose of oxaliplatin-based cytotoxic therapy is an essential component in the standard treatment regimen of metastatic colon cancer (mCC). Data on the impacts of dose intensity reduction on the palliative treatment for patients with mCC remain scarce. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the impact of palliative chemotherapy dose modifications (DM) on the survival of patients with mCC. METHODS Patients with stage IV colon cancer who received first-line palliative FOLFOX regimen chemotherapy between 2014 until 2018 in the Oncology Department of the National Cancer Institute were conveniently sampled retrospectively to analyse the treatment efficacy. The cumulative dose and duration of chemotherapy received by the patients were summarised as relative dose intensity (RDI) and stratified as High RDI (RDI ≥ 70%) or Low RDI (RDI < 70%). Progression-free survival (PFS) and 2-year overall survival (OS) between the two groups were analysed using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards models. RESULTS Out of the 414 patients identified, 95 patients with mCC were eligible and included in the final analysis. About half of the patients (n = 47) completed the 12-cycle chemotherapy regimen and one patient received the complete (100%) RDI. The overall median RDI was 68.7%. The Low RDI group (n = 49) had a 1.5 times higher mortality risk than the High RDI group [OS, Hazard Ratio (HR) = 1.5, 95% Cl: 1.19-1.82] with a significant median OS difference (9.1 vs. 16.0 months, p < 0.01). Furthermore, patients with lower dose intensity showed double the risk of disease progression (PFS, HR = 2.0, 95% CI: 1.23-3.13) with a significant difference of 4.5 months of median PFS (p < 0.01). Gender and RDI were the independent prognostic factors of both OS and PFS. CONCLUSION Reduction in the dose intensity of palliative chemotherapy may adversely affect both disease progression and overall survival among mCC patients.

Abstract
This study aimed to explore the safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant SCRT and tegafur−uracil/leucovorin plus oxaliplatin (TEGAFOX) for LARC in comparison to those of the modified 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX-6) regimen. We retrospectively evaluated 15 and 22 patients with LARC who underwent SCRT, followed by consolidation chemotherapy with TEGAFOX and mFOLFOX-6 before surgery, respectively, between January 2015 and December 2019. The primary endpoint was the tumor response rate. The secondary endpoints were compliance, toxicity, complications, overall survival (OS), and disease-free survival (DFS). The dose reduction rate was lower in the TEGAFOX group (0 vs. 9.1% (n = 2)). No grade III-IV toxicities occurred in the TEGAFOX group. Two and four patients in the TEGAFOX and mFOLFOX-6 groups, respectively, achieved clinical complete responses. The pathologic complete response rate was lower in the TEGAFOX group (7.7% vs. 17.6%). Overall, 11 (73.3%) and 17 (81.0%) patients had a neoadjuvant rectal (NAR) score of <16 in the TEGAFOX and mFOLFOX-6 groups, respectively. All patients in this study received sphincter-preservation surgery. One patient in each group developed Clavien−Dindo grade III complications. There were no significant between-group differences in the 3-year OS (81.8% vs. 84.8%, p = 0.884) and 3-year DFS (72% vs. 71.6%, p = 0.824) rates. TEGAFOX, as consolidation chemotherapy after SCRT, achieves good tumor downstaging and patient compliance in LARC. The toxicity, complications, and surgical outcomes are similar to those of mFOLFOX-6. Thus, TEGAFOX can be considered a chemotherapy option for rectal cancer treatment.

Abstract
Salvage chemotherapy for patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer (UR-PC) who have been treated with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel (GnP), and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)/l-leucovorin (LV) plus nanoliposomal irinotecan (nal-IRI), has not been fully established. We retrospectively reviewed data from 17 patients with UR-PC who initiated 5-FU/l-LV plus oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) as salvage chemotherapy at our hospital between June 2020 and August 2021, after treatment with GnP and 5-FU/LV plus nal-IRI. The primary endpoint was tumor response. The secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) and adverse events (AEs). The response and disease control rates were 5.9% (1/17) and 17.6% (3/17), respectively. The median PFS was 1.8 months (range: 0.4-5.2 months). Eight patients (47.1%) experienced grade 3 nonhematologic AEs, while none experienced grade 3 hematologic AEs. Two patients with controlled disease had homologous recombination deficiency (HRD)-associated gene mutations in cancer panel testing. The FOLFOX regimen benefit for UR-PC patients treated with GnP and 5-FU/LV plus nal-IRI may be limited to patients with HRD-associated gene mutations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND FOLFOX plus bevacizumab is a standard of care (SOC) for first-line treatment of microsatellite-stable metastatic colorectal cancer (MSS mCRC). This study randomized patients to SOC or SOC plus avelumab (anti-PD-L1) plus CEA-targeted vaccine. METHODS Patients with untreated MSS mCRC enrolled to a lead-in arm assessing safety of SOC + immuno-oncology agents (IO). Next, patients were randomized to SOC or SOC + IO. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Multiple immune parameters were analyzed. RESULTS Six patients enrolled to safety lead-in, 10 randomized to SOC, and 10 to SOC + IO. There was no difference in median PFS comparing SOC versus SOC + IO (8.8 months (95% CI: 3.3-17.0 months) versus 10.1 months (95% CI: 3.6-16.1 months), respectively; hazard ratio 1.061 [P = .91; 95% CI: 0.380-2.966]). The objective response rate was 50% in both arms. Of patients analyzed, most (8/11) who received SOC + IO developed multifunctional CD4+/CD8+ T-cell responses to cascade antigens MUC1 and/or brachyury, compared to 1/8 who received SOC alone (P = .020). We detected post-treatment changes in immune parameters that were distinct to the SOC and SOC + IO treatment arms. Accrual closed after an unplanned analysis predicted a low likelihood of meeting the primary endpoint. CONCLUSIONS SOC + IO generated multifunctional MUC1- and brachyury-specific CD4+/CD8+ T cells despite concurrent chemotherapy. Although a tumor-directed immune response is necessary for T-cell-mediated antitumor activity, it was not sufficient to improve PFS. Adding agents that increase the number and function of effector cells may be required for clinical benefit.

Abstract
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are a subset of CD4+ T lymphocytes known to dampen the host immune response against cancer cells. Within the tumor microenvironment, Tregs are potent facilitators of immune tolerance, and a higher proportion of Tregs compared to cytotoxic T cells predicts a worse outcome in most solid tumors. We studied the association between Treg density, and cancer biology and clinical outcome in colorectal cancer (CRC). We used xCell to estimate intratumoral Tregs in total of 898 CRC patients in the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and GCE39582 cohorts. High-Treg CRCs enriched immune response-related gene sets; inflammatory response, IFN-γ and IFN-α response, IL2/IL6 signaling, and allograft rejection, and had significantly high infiltration of CD8, CD4, M1 and M2 macrophage, and dendritic cells in both cohorts. While high-Treg CRCs enriched multiple pro-cancer signaling pathways compared to low-Treg CRCs, such as Epithelial Mesenchymal Transition, K-ras, Hypoxia, TGF-β, TNF-α, and angiogenesis, Treg infiltration was surprisingly associated with earlier CRC stage in TCGA. Notably, in two separate cohorts a higher proportion of Tregs predicted an improved response to chemotherapy. In the GSE28702 cohort, metastatic CRCs with more Tregs showed a significantly better response to mFOLFOX6 versus low-Treg CRC metastases (88.9% response vs. 16.7%, P<0.001). In the GSE72970 cohort, high-Treg CRCs were found to have a 68.8% response to FOLFOX/FOLFIRI without bevacizumab, compared to 44% response in the low-Treg CRCs. Additionally, high-Treg CRCs were associated with increased expression of immune checkpoint molecules PD-L1/PD-L2, CTLA4, TIGIT and BTLA, implying susceptibility to immunotherapy. We also found that CRCs with higher proportions of Tregs were associated with lower amounts of three microorganisms in the tumor: Lachnoclostridium, flavivirus, and Ornithobacterium. In conclusion, we show that amount of Treg in the tumor is a predictor of host immune response and chemotherapy response in CRC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although second-line treatment for pancreatic cancer has been proven to have survival benefit, it is not clear which is the most preferred regimen. This study compared the efficacy and safety of modified FOLFIRINOX (mFOLFIRINOX) and sequential chemotherapy (FOLFIRI/FOLFOX) as a second-line treatment regimen for unresectable pancreatic cancer. METHOD This was a retrospective single-center analysis of all patients who initiated treatment with mFOLFIRINOX or sequential chemotherapy from December 2014 to May 2019 as a second-line treatment for unresectable pancreatic cancer. The sequential chemotherapy group included all patients who initiated sequential chemotherapy. For efficacy analysis, the primary endpoint was overall survival (OS) of all patients, excluding those with locally advanced pancreatic cancer. For safety analysis, we assessed the incidence of grade ≥3 adverse events in all patients. RESULTS Seventy-four patients (mFOLFIRINOX group, n = 44; sequential chemotherapy group, n = 30) were included. OS tended to be slightly prolonged in the mFOLFIRINOX group than in the sequential chemotherapy group (median 10.6 [95% confidence interval {CI} 5.9-13.8] vs. 8.5 [95% CI 5.0-12.2] months; hazard ratio 1.40 [95% CI 0.71-2.71]). The objective response rate and disease control rate were 8.1% and 64.9%, respectively, in the mFOLFIRINOX group and 3.8% and 42.3%, respectively, in the sequential chemotherapy group. In safety analysis, the grade ≥3 rates of neutropenia, febrile neutropenia, and anorexia were 40.9%, 6.8%, and 18.2%, respectively, in the mFOLFIRINOX group and 3.3%, 0%, and 3.3%, respectively, in the sequential chemotherapy group. CONCLUSIONS Whereas efficacy tended to be slightly better in the mFOLFIRINOX group than in the sequential chemotherapy group, given the higher incidence of grade ≥3 adverse events with mFOLFIRINOX than with sequential chemotherapy, sequential chemotherapy is a regimen with better risk-benefit balance than mFOLFIRINOX, and can be considered a second-line treatment option for patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE In this follow-up of the R-NAC-01 study, we assessed the long-term oncological benefit of four courses of modified leucovorin, 5-fluorouracil (FU), and oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX6) chemotherapy before rectal surgery. METHODS In this prospective, multicenter study (UMIN 000012559) involving 11 hospitals in Japan, patients with lower rectal cancer underwent four cycles of mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy and subsequent surgery within four to six weeks. The 3-year recurrence-free survival and local recurrence rates were then reported. RESULTS Of 41 patients (36 males, 5 females; mean age: 60.8 years old) who received 4 courses of chemotherapy, 40 underwent total mesorectal excision, and 1 underwent total pelvic exenteration. R0 resection was achieved in 40 patients, but none showed a pathological complete response. Twenty-nine patients received adjuvant chemotherapy for an average of 4 months. The 3 year recurrence-free survival and local recurrence rates in patients undergoing curable resection were 72.8% and 8.5%, respectively. cStage III patients with adjuvant chemotherapy had a significantly higher 3 year recurrence-free survival than those without adjuvant chemotherapy (76.6 vs. 40.0%, log-rank p = 0.03). CONCLUSION Four courses of mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy before surgery may be a promising treatment strategy for locally advanced rectal cancer. Adjuvant chemotherapy might be needed for cStage III patients, even after four courses of neoadjuvant mFOLFOX6.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Oxaliplatin-based regimens have shown promising antitumor activity in digestive neuroendocrine tumors (NETs); however, the available data are limited. Our aim was to assess the efficacy of FOLFOX (association of 5-fluorouracil with oxaliplatin) in a large series of patients with advanced digestive NETs. METHODS All patients with advanced digestive well-differentiated NETs treated with at least 3 cycles of FOLFOX between January 2004 and December 2018 in 12 centers from the French Group of Endocrine Tumors were included. Tumor response rate according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 criteria, progression free survival (PFS), and overall survival, as well as prognostic factors, were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS One hundred fifty-five patients were included. Primary tumor locations were pancreas (n = 89), small intestine (n = 40), unknown with no evidence for lung primary (n = 13), stomach (n = 7), and rectum (n = 6). Median Ki-67 was 10%, and 65% of the tumors were grade 2. The partial response rate was 30% for pancreatic NETs, 12.5% for small intestine NETs, 38.5% for unknown primary NETs, 14% for gastric NETs, and 17% for rectal NETs. Significant prognostic factors for poor PFS after FOLFOX were progressive disease at the beginning of treatment (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.83, p = 0.007), hepatic involvement superior to 50% (HR = 2.67, p = 0.0001), and rectal primary tumor location (HR = 2.6, p = 0.0036). Among pancreatic NETs, insulinomas had a better median PFS (22 months) than other pancreatic NETs (9 months, p = 0.026) and showed a high rate (8/9) of serum glucose normalization. CONCLUSIONS FOLFOX shows a promising antitumor activity in advanced digestive NETs. Rapid symptomatic response is observed in metastatic insulinomas.

Abstract
Oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy with a regimen such as FOLFOX with or without targeted therapy is a standard of care option for advanced colorectal cancer; however, long-term exposure to oxaliplatin is associated with cumulative toxicity. Growing evidence suggests maintenance therapy with a less intensive regimen after platinum-based induction therapy can provide continuing benefit with reduced toxicity. We describe the rationale and design of the Phase III LYNK-003 trial, which will evaluate the efficacy and safety of olaparib with or without bevacizumab compared with 5-fluoruracil plus bevacizumab in patients with unresectable or metastatic colorectal cancer that has not progressed on an induction course of FOLFOX plus bevacizumab. The primary end point is progression-free survival by independent central review; secondary end points include overall survival, objective response, duration of response and safety. Clinical trial registration: NCT04456699.

Abstract
Background Few data regarding post-induction management following first-line anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-based doublet regimens in patients with left-sided RAS/BRAF wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) are available. Methods This multicenter, retrospective study aimed at evaluating clinicians’ attitude, and the safety and effectiveness of post-induction strategies in consecutive patients affected by left-sided RAS/BRAF wild-type mCRC treated with doublet chemotherapy plus anti-EGFR as first-line regimen, who did not experience disease progression within 6 months from induction initiation, at 21 Italian and 1 Spanish Institutions. The measured clinical outcomes were: progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), adverse events, and objective response rate (ORR). Results At the data cutoff, among 686 consecutive patients with left-sided RAS/BRAF wild-type mCRC treated with doublet plus anti-EGFR as first-line regimen from March 2012 to October 2020, 355 eligible patients have been included in the present analysis. Among these, 118 (33.2%), 66 (18.6%), and 11 (3.1%) received a maintenance with 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin (5FU/LV)+anti-EGFR, anti-EGFR, and 5FU/LV, respectively, while 160 (45.1%) patients continued induction treatment (non-maintenance) until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, patient decision, or completion of planned treatment. The median period of follow-up for the overall population was 33.7 months (95%CI = 28.9–35.6). The median PFS values of the 5FU/LV+anti-EGFR, anti-EGFR, 5FU/LV, and non-maintenance cohorts were 16.0 (95%CI = 14.3–17.7, 86 events), 13.0 (95%CI = 11.4–14.5, 56 events), 14.0 (95%CI = 8.1–20.0, 8 events), and 10.1 months (95%CI = 9.0–11.2, 136 events), respectively (p < 0.001). The median OS values were 39.6 (95%CI = 31.5–47.7, 43 events), 36.1 (95%CI = 31.6–40.7, 36 events), 39.5 (95%CI = 28.2–50.8, 4 events), and 25.1 months (95%CI = 22.6–27.6, 99 events), respectively (p < 0.001). After adjusting for key covariates, a statistically significant improvement in PFS in favor of 5FU/LV+anti-EGFR (HR = 0.59, 95%CI = 0.44–0.77, p < 0.001) and anti-EGFR (HR = 0.71, 95%CI = 0.51–0.98, p = 0.039) compared to the non-maintenance cohort was found. Compared to the non-maintenance cohort, OS was improved by 5FU/LV+anti-EGFR (HR = 0.55, 95%CI = 0.38–0.81, p = 0.002) and, with marginal significance, by anti-EGFR (HR = 0.67, 95%CI = 0.51–0.98, p = 0.051). No difference was found in ORR. Any grade non-hematological and hematological events were generally higher in the non-maintenance compared to the maintenance cohorts. Conclusion Among the treatment strategies following an anti-EGFR-based doublet first-line induction regimen in patients affected by left-sided RAS/BRAF wild-type mCRC treated in a “real-life” setting, 5FU/LV+anti-EGFR resulted the most adopted, effective, and relatively safe regimen.

Abstract
Background To compare the treatment effectiveness and safety among transarterial infusion chemotherapy (TAI) with FOLFOX regimen, transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), and sorafenib in patients with BCLC stage C hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods The data of consecutive patients with BCLC stage C HCC treated with TAI, TACE, or sorafenib from January 2015 to December 2018 at three centers were retrospectively analyzed. Propensity-score matched (PSM) analysis was pairwise performed to reduce selection bias. Treatment effectiveness and safety were evaluated and compared using the Kaplan-Meier method, log-rank test, Cox regression models, and χ2 test. Results The median overall survival (OS) in the matched TAI cohort was significantly longer than the sorafenib cohort (19.6 vs. 7.5 months, P=0.009), and the TACE cohort (estimated 27.8 vs. 6.6 months, P<0.001). The difference in median progression-free survival (PFS) between the matched TAI and sorafenib cohorts was not significant (5.8 vs. 2.3 months, P=0.219). The median PFS in the matched TAI cohort was significantly longer than the TACE cohort (6.5 vs. 2.8 months, P<0.001). The objective response rate (ORR) in the matched TAI cohort was significantly higher than the sorafenib cohort (36.4% vs. 0.0%, P<0.001) and the TACE cohort (48.7% vs. 4.7%, P<0.001). The incidences of adverse events (AEs) were similar among these three cohorts. Conclusions TAI with FOLFOX regimen was an effective and safe therapy that improved survival of patients with BCLC stage C HCC.

Abstract
Background Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) is one option for treating massive tumors and unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, there is a lack of remedial treatment after these treatments are ineffective or failed. Summary Some studies have discovered that HAIC has greater survival in patients with advanced HCC. A previous study has shown that HAIC is effective in the treatment of advanced HCC, and the data on randomized clinical trials are limited and unclear. Key Message More clinical trials and research are needed in order to make HAIC a standard and recommended therapy for advanced HCC. Our review focuses on the clinical applications of hepatic artery infusion treatment.

Abstract

It provides superior efficacy than oxaliplatin alone, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. In the present study, pharmacomicrobiomics integrated with metabolomics was conducted to uncover the role of the gut microbiome behind this. First, in vivo study demonstrated that FOLFOX exhibited better efficacy than oxaliplatin alone in colon cancer animal models. Second, 16S rDNA gene sequencing analysis showed that the abundance of Akkermansia muciniphila (A. muciniphila) remarkably increased in the FOLFOX treated individuals and positively correlated with the therapeutic effect. Third, further exploration confirmed A. muciniphila colonization significantly enhanced the anti-cancer efficacy of FOLFOX. Last, metabolomics analysis suggested dipeptides containing branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) might be responsible for gut bacteria mediated FOLFOX efficacy. In conclusion, our study revealed the key role of A. muciniphila in mediating FOLFOX efficacy, and manipulating A. muciniphila might serve as a novel strategy for colon cancer therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE 5-Fluorouracil/leucovorin, oxaliplatin, irinotecan (FOLFOXIRI) plus bevacizumab is more effective than doublets plus bevacizumab as first-line therapy for metastatic colorectal cancer, but is not widely used because of concerns about toxicity and lack of predictive biomarkers. This study was designed to explore the role of circulating tumour cell (CTC) count as a biomarker to select patients for therapy with FOLFOXIRI-bevacizumab. PATIENTS AND METHODS VISNÚ-1 was a multicentre, open-label, randomised, phase III study in patients with previously untreated, unresectable, metastatic colorectal carcinoma and ≥3 CTC/7.5 mL blood. Patients received bevacizumab 5 mg/kg plus FOLFOXIRI (irinotecan 165 mg/m2, oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2, leucovorin 400 mg/m2 and 5-fluorouracil 3200 mg/m2) or FOLFOX (oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2, leucovorin 400 mg/m2, 5-fluorouracil 400 mg/m2 then 2400 mg/m2) by intravenous administration every 2 weeks. The primary outcome was progression-free survival (PFS). RESULTS The intention-to-treat population comprised 349 patients (FOLFOXIRI-bevacizumab, n=172; FOLFOX-bevacizumab, n=177). Median PFS was 12.4 months (95% CI 11.2 to 14.0) with FOLFOXIRI bevacizumab and 9.3 months (95% CI 8.5 to 10.7) with FOLFOX-bevacizumab (stratified HR, 0.64; 95% CI 0.49 to 0.82; p=0.0006). Grade≥3 adverse events were more common with FOLFOXIRI-bevacizumab 85.3% vs 75.1% with FOLFOX-bevacizumab (p=0.0178). Treatment-related deaths occurred in 8 (4.7%) and 6 (3.4%) patients, respectively. CONCLUSIONS First-line FOLFOXIRI-bevacizumab significantly improved PFS compared with FOLFOX-bevacizumab in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer and ≥3 CTCs at baseline, which indicate a poor prognosis. CTC count may be a useful non-invasive biomarker to assist with the selection of patients for intensive first-line therapy.

Abstract
AIM The TRICOLORE trial previously demonstrated that S-1 and irinotecan plus bevacizumab was non-inferior, based on progression-free survival (PFS), to 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin and oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX6)/capecitabine and oxaliplatin (CapeOX) plus bevacizumab as first-line chemotherapy for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Overall survival (OS) data were immature at the time of the primary analysis. METHODS In total, 487 patients from 53 institutions with previously untreated mCRC were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive either mFOLFOX6/CapeOX plus bevacizumab (control group) or S-1 and irinotecan plus bevacizumab (experimental group; 3- or 4-week regimen). The final OS data were analysed from follow-up data collected until 30th September 2017. RESULTS With a median follow-up period of 48.7 months, median survival times were 32.6 and 34.3 months (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.89, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.72-1.10, P = 0.293) and median PFS durations were 10.8 and 14.0 months in the control and experimental groups, respectively (HR: 0.86, 95% CI: 0.71-1.04, P < 0.0001 for non-inferiority). In patients with left-sided RAS wild-type tumours, median PFS durations were 11.4 and 16.9 months in the control and experimental groups, respectively (HR: 0.68, 95% CI: 0.48-0.96, P = 0.028). CONCLUSION S-1 and irinotecan plus bevacizumab resulted in comparable OS and non-inferior PFS with that of mFOLFOX6/CapeOX plus bevacizumab treatment as first-line chemotherapy for patients with mCRC. We recommend the use of S-1 and irinotecan plus bevacizumab as a standard first-line regimen independent of tumour sidedness or RAS status in mCRC. TRIAL REGISTRATION UMIN-CTR: 000007834.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Doublets plus antiepidermal growth factor receptors monoclonal antibodies (EGFRi) are widely considered the preferable first-line regimen in patients with left-sided RAS/BRAF wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), resulting superior in terms of activity and efficacy compared to doublets plus bevacizumab. However, data comparing doublet plus EGFRi and triplet plus bevacizumab are lacking, and the relative benefit of an intensive regimen plus an antiangiogenic backbone in this population is debated. METHODS This multicenter, retrospective study aimed at evaluating clinicians' attitude to triplet-bevacizumab and doublet-EGFRi as first-line regimen in patients with left-sided RAS/BRAF wild-type mCRC treated in clinical practice at 22 Oncology Units from March 2012 to October 2020. A random case-control matching was performed to compare activity (ORR), and effectiveness (PFS, OS, secondary resection rate of metastases with curative intent) between triplet-bevacizumab and doublet-EGFRi, on the basis of ECOG-PS, age, gender, and burden of disease. RESULTS A total of 718 patients were consecutively treated with doublet-EGFRi (686, 95.5%) or triplet-bevacizumab (32, 4.5%). After case-control matching, median PFS was 13.6 (95% CI, 8.9-31.7) and 16.1 (95% CI, 12.1-36.8) months (P= .621), while median OS was 30.2 (95% CI, 14.4-69.5) and 38.1 (95% CI, 33.1-101.1) months (P= .0283) in the doublet-EGFRi and the triplet-bevacizumab cohort, respectively. The ORR was 65.6% and 90.6% (P= .016), while the secondary resection rate was 18.8% and 46.9% (P= .016), in the doublet-EGFRi and the triplet-bevacizumab cohort, respectively. Triplet-bevacizumab was associated with a higher incidence of G3/G4 neutropenia (25.0% vs. 12.5%, P= .041). CONCLUSION Although a doublet-EGFRi remains the recommended upfront regimen in patients with left-sided RAS and BRAF wild-type mCRC, our real life data suggest a triplet-bevacizumab might be at least equally active and effective in properly selected cases.

Abstract
Oxaliplatin (OXA) is a platinum compound primarily used in the treatment of gastrointestinal cancer. OXA-induced peripheral neurotoxicity (OXAIPN) is the major non-hematological dose-limiting toxicity of OXA-based chemotherapy and includes acute transient neurotoxic effects that appear soon after OXA infusion, and chronic non-length dependent sensory neuronopathy symmetrically affecting both upper and lower limbs in a stocking-and-glove distribution. No effective strategy has been established to reverse or treat OXAIPN. Thus, it is necessary to early predict the occurrence of OXAIPN during treatment and possibly modify the OXA-based regimen in patients at high risk as an early diagnosis and intervention may slow down neuropathy progression. However, identifying which patients are more likely to develop OXAIPN is clinically challenging. Several objective and measurable early biomarkers for OXAIPN prediction have been described in recent years, becoming useful for informing clinical decisions about treatment. The purpose of this review is to critically review data on currently available or promising predictors of OXAIPN. Neurological monitoring, according to predictive factors for increased risk of OXAIPN, would allow clinicians to personalize treatment, by monitoring at-risk patients more closely and guide clinicians towards better counseling of patients about neurotoxicity effects of OXA.

Abstract
PURPOSE The use of concurrent chemoradiotherapy is frequently recommended in the treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer; however, the ideal chemotherapy regimen remains unknown, and there is variability in chemotherapy agents used among different institutions. We sought to examine differences in overall survival between patients receiving single versus multiple-agent concurrent chemoradiotherapy. METHODS The National Cancer Database was used to identify 31,025 patients with rectal cancer who received concurrent chemoradiotherapy between 01/2006 and 12/2016. We compared patients who received single-agent chemotherapy with those who received multiple-agent concurrent chemoradiotherapy. The primary outcome of interest was overall survival. The groups were compared using univariate analysis and Cox proportional hazard models to adjust for potential confounding factors. RESULTS 18,544 patients received single-agent and 12,481 patients received multiple-agent chemotherapy. The former were older with more comorbidities as evidenced by their higher Charlson-Deyo Scores. Those receiving multiple-agent chemotherapy were more likely to have clinical stage III disease (52.9% vs 43.3%, p < 0.001) and less likely to have well-differentiated cancer (6.9% vs 7.7%, p < 0.001). The rates of negative resection margin were identical (p = 0.225) between the two groups. On multivariable analysis after adjusting for comorbidities, radiation dose, and resection margins, single-agent chemotherapy was associated with worse overall survival (HR 1.09, 95% CI 1.057-1.124, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Multiple-agent chemoradiotherapy is associated with improved overall survival in locally advanced rectal cancer; however, chemotherapy regimen does not affect resection margins. The modest overall survival benefit with multiple-agent chemotherapy must be balanced with the potential associated toxicity.

Abstract
LESSONS LEARNED Preclinical studies have demonstrated that Src inhibition through dasatinib synergistically enhances the antitumor effects of oxaliplatin. In this phase II, single-arm study, FOLFOX with dasatinib in previously untreated patients with mPC only showed only modest clinical activity, with a progressive-free survival of 4 months and overall survival of 10.6 months. Continued investigation is ongoing to better understand the role of Src inhibition with concurrent 5-fluorouracil and oxaliplatin in a subset of exceptional responders. BACKGROUND Src tyrosine kinase activity is overexpressed in many human cancers, including metastatic pancreatic cancer (mPC). Dasatinib is a potent inhibitor of Src family of tyrosine kinases. This study was designed to investigate whether dasatinib can synergistically enhance antitumor effects of FOLFOX regimen (FOLFOX-D). METHODS In this single-arm, phase II study, previously untreated patients received dasatinib 150 mg oral daily on days 1-14, oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2 intravenous (IV) on day 1 every 14 days, leucovorin (LV) 400 mg/m2 IV on day 1 every 14 days, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) bolus 400 mg/m2 on day 1 every 14 days, and 5-FU continuous infusion 2,400 mg/m2 on day 1 every 14 days. Primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) with preplanned comparison to historical controls. RESULTS Forty-four patients enrolled with an estimated median PFS of 4.0 (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.3-8.5) months and overall survival (OS) of 10.6 (95% CI, 6.9-12.7) months. Overall response rate (ORR) was 22.7% (n = 10): one patient (2.3%) with complete response (CR) and nine patients (20.5%) with partial response (PR). Fifteen patients (34.1%) had stable disease (SD). Nausea was the most common adverse event (AE) seen in 35 patients (79.5%). CONCLUSION The addition of dasatinib did not appear to add incremental clinical benefit to FOLFOX in untreated patients with mPC.

Abstract
Purpose To look at how the absolute neutrophil count (ANC) is used by community oncologists as the main factor in ordering adjuvant mFOLFOX6 for colorectal cancer. This study reports on how this decision impacts chemotherapy delays, effects received dose intensity (RDI), and increases the use of granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). Methods A retrospective chart review was conducted for all patients receiving adjuvant mFOLFOX6 for colorectal cancer at a two-site community hospital in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, between July 2013 and March 2019. Seven physicians treated 140 patients, who made 1636 clinic visits to receive 1461 cycles of prescribed chemotherapy. Results The mean ANC per physician associated with a decision to give chemotherapy ranged from 1.05×109/L (95% CI 0.98-1.13×109/L) to 1.5x109/L with a decision to delay if the ANC was lower. Subsequent cycles were then supported by G-CSF with very similar ANC decision levels for dose delay. Physicians were more likely to prescribe chemotherapy with higher pretreatment ANC, r=0.3 (p<0.000). G-CSF was used in 24.6% of cycles and usage had grown to 44.2% by the 12th cycle; physician use ranged from 0.36% to 54.2% of cycles. Secondary prophylaxis was the indication in 94.7% of cases. There was an inverse relationship between the frequency of G-CSF use and the RDI of continuous infusion 5FU, r=-0.26 (p<0.001). There were delays for 8.8% of visits for cycles not supported by G-CSF and, surprisingly, 15.9% of visits for cycles supported by G-CSF. Neutropenia caused 61.6% of delays for chemotherapy cycles not supported by G-CSF and 44.1% for cycles supported by G-CSF. Conclusion Physicians required a pretreatment ANC of 1.05-1.5×109/L before prescribing mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy. When ANC was low, a dose delay and secondary prophylaxis with G-CSF failed to consistently achieve the much sought after ANC. This then caused more delay, reduced RDI and increased expense for both patients and the system. Fewer delays, less G-CSF and increased RDI would have resulted with reduced reliance on ANC and adoption of chemotherapy dose reduction.

Risk factors of m FOLFOX6-induced hyperammonemia in patients with colorectal cancer: an observational study. Int J Clin Oncol 2021; 26:1477-1484.

Abstract
BACKGROUND FOLFOX therapy, a standard treatment for colorectal cancer (CRC), causes a rare, but serious adverse event, hyperammonemia. However, the risk factors of hyperammonemia remain unknown. METHODS We examined 74 patients who received mFOLFOX6 therapy with or without biologics for CRC between April 2013 and March 2018 in Yaizu City Hospital. Clinicopathological factors were retrospectively reviewed in association with hyperammonemia, and risk factors of hyperammonemia during mFOLFOX6 therapy were analyzed in 32 patients with the available data. RESULTS Seven patients developed hyperammonemia, with onset exclusively on day 2 or 3 in the first cycle of therapy. They were treated with branched chain amino acid administration and hydration; however, one patient with stage G4 chronic kidney disease (CKD) died. By multivariate analysis, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 was independently associated with hyperammonemia during FOLFOX therapy (odds ratio: 9.0, p = 0.040). CONCLUSIONS Reduced eGFR is considered a risk factor of developing hyperammonemia during FOLFOX therapy. Serum ammonia levels should be monitored especially during the first cycle of FOLFOX therapy in patients with CKD stage G3 or higher.
