Article Synopsis
  • Patients with colorectal cancer and liver-only metastases showed improved outcomes when treated with FOLFOXIRI and bevacizumab compared to FOLFIRI and bevacizumab or with panitumumab, especially regarding progression-free survival and resection rates.
  • The CAIRO5 trial involved 530 patients with initially unresectable liver metastases from colorectal cancer, evaluated across numerous centers in the Netherlands and Belgium, focusing on different treatment combinations based on tumor genetics.
  • While more effective responses were observed with certain treatments, there was an increase in toxic side effects, particularly in specific genetic tumor variants like RAS/BRAFV600E.

Radiological incidental findings (IFs) are previously undetected abnormalities which are unrelated to the original indication for imaging and are unexpectedly discovered. In brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the prevalence of IFs is increasing. By reviewing the literature on IFs in brain MRI performed for research purposes and discussing ethical considerations of IFs, this paper provides an overview of brain IF research results and factors contributing to inconsistencies and considers how the consent process can be improved from an ethical perspective.

Background: Tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is an apoptosis inducer that exhibits an ideal therapeutic safety profile with less adverse effects than conventional chemotherapy. However, the occurrence of TRAIL resistance has been reported in various cancers including colorectal cancer (CRC). Substantial efforts have been channelled towards managing TRAIL resistance including identifying molecular targets.
