Article Synopsis
- - The study assessed whether adding oxaliplatin to a preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) treatment would enhance survival in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer compared to a regimen with capecitabine alone.
- - Results showed similar rates of pathologic complete response, overall survival, and disease-free survival between the two treatment groups, with no significant survival advantages found for those receiving oxaliplatin.
- - However, the addition of oxaliplatin did lead to a significantly higher incidence of grade 3 toxicity, indicating increased side effects without any survival benefit.

Article Synopsis
- - This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of functional MRI for diagnosing locally recurrent prostate cancer through a meta-analysis of existing research from 1995 to 2016.
- - Results from 13 studies showed high sensitivity (91%) and specificity (91%) for patients post-surgery, while 7 studies showed lower sensitivity (80%) and specificity (81%) for those who had radiotherapy.
- - The findings indicate that while functional MRI may not significantly enhance T2-weighted imaging, combining diffusion-weighted MRI and H-magnetic resonance spectroscopy with T2-weighted imaging can improve diagnostic sensitivity in patients post-radiotherapy.
