Background: In resectable gastric/gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma, microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) confers improved survival, but limited benefit from chemotherapy. Immunotherapy may eliminate the need for chemotherapy or surgery.

Patients And Methods: INFINITY is a multicenter, multicohort phase II trial (NCT04817826) investigating in cohort 1 the activity and safety of tremelimumab + durvalumab (T300/D) as neoadjuvant treatment of mismatch repair deficient/MSI-H, resectable gastric/gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.

Purpose: KRASG12D mutation (mut) occurs in about 10%-12% of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Recently, novel KRASG12D inhibitors have been developed and are currently under investigation in phase I/II clinical trials in solid tumors including mCRC. We aimed at performing a comprehensive characterization of clinical, molecular, immunologic, and prognostic features of KRASG12D-mutated mCRC to inform the design and the interpretation of future trials.

Despite the increased incidence of esophageal cancer (EC) in elderly people, there are no clear guidelines for its treatment in these patients. The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of patients ≥ 75 years with resectable EC, receiving either upfront esophagectomy or neoadjuvant treatment. : We retrospectively identified 127 patients with resectable EC ≥ 75 years who underwent esophagectomy between January 2000 and December 2022 at our Clinic in the University Hospital of Padova.

Article Synopsis
  • This study aimed to determine how different patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) respond to two chemotherapy regimens, FOLFOXIRI and FOLFOX/FOLFIRI, both combined with a drug called bevacizumab.
  • Researchers developed a predictive model using clinical and molecular data from 639 patients to estimate 2-year mortality, and validated it with data from three other trials involving over 1,000 patients.
  • The analysis revealed that while the model could estimate 2-year mortality fairly well, it struggled to accurately predict which specific patients would benefit more from one treatment over the other across the different trial groups.

Background: Veneto Institute of Oncology has activated a simultaneous care outpatient clinic (SCOC) in which cancer patients with advanced-stage cancer are evaluated by oncologist and palliative care specialists. This cross-sectional study investigated patients' perceptions of the quality of this service.

Materials And Methods: An ad-hoc self-administered questionnaire, developed by SCOC team, was used to assess the satisfaction of patients admitted at SCOC consultation.
