Background & Aims: Progresses in management make a higher proportion of cirrhotic patients with gastrointestinal (GI) cancer candidates to chemotherapy. Data are needed on the safety and liver-related events associated with the use of chemotherapy in these patients.
Methods: Forty-nine patients with cirrhosis receiving chemotherapy against GI cancer from 2013 to 2018 were identified in the French Health Insurance Database using ICD-10 codes K70-K74, and matched 1:2 to non-cirrhotic controls (n = 98) on age, tumour type and type of treatment.
Background: Most patients with advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PA) treated with FOLFIRINOX experience adverse events requiring dose reduction. We aimed to assess the association between relative dose intensity (RDI) and disease control in a European setting.
Methods: We retrospectively included patients with advanced PA treated with three or more cycles of FOLFIRINOX between 2011 and 2018 in six French centers.
Article Synopsis
- Primary neuroendocrine breast carcinomas are a rare type of breast cancer, making up only 2% to 5% of cases according to the World Health Organization.
- They are classified into three types based on how they look under a microscope and their characteristics.
- Right now, doctors don't have a standard treatment for these tumors and usually rely on treatments for different types of breast cancer, with ongoing research needed to find better options.
