Article Synopsis
- Meningeal carcinomatosis is a rare occurrence in gastric cancer, particularly when it manifests without other metastatic sites.
- A 68-year-old man, who previously underwent total gastrectomy for gastric cancer, experienced prolonged high tumor markers and later developed symptoms like hearing loss and facial paralysis, leading to a diagnosis of meningeal carcinomatosis.
- The case highlights the need for awareness of meningeal carcinomatosis as a potential complication in gastric cancer patients, especially when unusual neurological symptoms arise post-surgery.
Article Synopsis
- - The N-DOCC-F-C-1701 trial aims to test the effectiveness and safety of a combination treatment (CPT-11+S-1+Ramucirumab) for metastatic colorectal cancer, expecting better results than a different combination that includes Bevacizumab.
- - The trial will involve 38 patients and focuses on progression-free survival as its primary goal, while also looking at other factors like overall response and survival rates, side effects, and quality of life.
- - If successful, this research could lead to the new treatment becoming a standard option for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who have already undergone oxaliplatin-based therapies.
