Background: To predict poor overall survival (OS) in pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAC) who underwent FOLFIRINOX (5-fluorouracil/leucovorin/irinotecan/oxaliplatin) using clinical and computed tomography (CT) findings.
Methods: A total of 189 patients with PAC who received FOLFIRINOX were retrospectively included. Two reviewers assessed CT findings and resectability based on National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines. They determined tumor size changes according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1). Delta measurements were performed. Clinical results, such as whether to perform surgery, were also investigated. A Cox proportional hazard model was used to identify significant predictors for OS. A CT-based nomogram was constructed to predict OS.
Results: Seventy-four patients (39.2%) underwent surgery. For OS, rim enhancement of PAC on baseline CT (hazard ratio [HR], 1.75; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.10-2.77; P = 0.018), high delta tumor on baseline CT (HR, 2.46; 95% CI, 1.55-3.91; P < 0.001), progressive disease at follow-up CT (HR, 8.89; 95% CI, 2.94-26.87; P < 0.001), and without surgery (HR, 2.81; 95% CI, 1.49-5.30; P = 0.001) were important features related to poor prognosis. The nomogram showed good predictive ability for the survival.
Conclusion: Both clinical and CT findings were useful for predicting OS after FOLFIRINOX in PAC.

Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) typically occurs in an older patient population. Yet, early-onset pancreatic cancer (EOPC) has one of the fastest growing incidence rates. This study investigated the influence of age and tumor location on postoperative morbidity and mortality in a large, real-world dataset.

Background: Sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectins (SIGLECs) are widely expressed on immune cell surfaces, play an important role in maintaining immune homeostasis and regulating inflammatory responses, and are increasingly emerging as potential targets for tumor immunotherapy. However, the expression profile and crucial role of SIGLEC11 in gastric cancer (GC) remain unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the prognostic relevance of SIGLEC11 expression and its role in the immune microenvironment in patients with GC.

Background: Non-metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) presents a challenging scenario: the rarity of the disease, the limited number of completed prospective trials, and the shortcomings of comparability across series produce several controversial topics and unanswered questions. Guideline recommendations usually include all the different therapeutic options, de facto transferring to the multidisciplinary team the responsibility on the final decision. This secondary analysis of the GARIBALDI study was aimed to explore the correlation of center type, self-declared volume, and commitment with the overall survival (OS) in patients with non-metastatic PDAC.

Introduction: Evidence demonstrating overall survival benefit of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) followed by surgical resection over upfront surgical resection for resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has been mixed. The time to first therapy (TTFT) variable has not been studied as a contributing factor.
Methods: A nationwide retrospective analysis using the National Cancer Database to evaluate patients with clinical stage T1 and T2 PDACs from 2010 to 2020.

A number of various human malignancies have been associated with abnormal microRNAs (miRNA) expression. There are evidence that miR-200 operates as both tumor suppressor and an onco-miR in a variety of tumors. In this study, we evaluated the effects of miR-200 on the proliferation and migration of pancreatic cancer cells, as well as the underlying molecular pathways.
