FOLFOX 4 Combined with Herbal Medicine for Advanced Colorectal Cancer: A Systematic Review

This systematic review evaluates the clinical evidence for the addition of herbal medicines (HMs) to FOLFOX 4 for advanced colorectal cancer (ACRC) in terms of tumor response rate (tRR), survival, quality of life and reduction in adverse events (AEs). Seven electronic databases were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of FOLFOX4 combined with HMs compared to FOLFOX4 alone. Outcome data for 13 randomized controlled trials were analysed using Review Manager 5.1. Risk of bias for objective outcomes including tumor response and survival was judged as low. Publication bias was not evident. Meta‐analyses found the addition of HMs improved tRR (RR 1.25, 95%CI 1.06–1.47, I² = 0%), one year survival (RR 1.51, 95%CI 1.19–1.90, I² = 0%) and quality of life in terms of Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) gained (RR 1.84, 95%CI 1.54‐2.19, I² = 0%); alleviated grade 3 and 4 chemotherapy‐related AEs for neutropenia (RR 0.33, 95%CI 0.18‐0.60, I² = 0%), nausea and vomiting (RR 0.34, 95%CI 0.17‐0.67, I² = 0%) and neurotoxicity (RR 0.39, 95%CI 0.15‐1.00, I² = 0%), compared to FOLFOX4 alone. The most frequently used herbs were Astragalus membranaceus, Panax ginseng, Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria cocos, Coix lachryma‐jobi and Sophora flavescens. In experimental studies, each of these herbs has shown actions that could have contributed to improved tumor response. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

FOLFOX4化疗方案联合免疫治疗在中晚期肝癌中的应用价值(附2例报告)

目的:探讨FOLFOX4化疗方案联合全身免疫治疗在中晚期肝细胞癌中的应用价值及疗效。方法:回顾性分析2例在空军军医大学唐都医院就诊的中晚期肝癌患者资料，给予FOLFOX4全身化疗联合胸腺法新的免疫治疗后患者病情缓解，疾病完全控制。分析FOLFOX4化疗方案在中晚期肝癌中的应用价值，及联合应用时机选择。结果:2例中晚期患者中，其中1例患者合并有双肺转移瘤，全身化疗后7个周期肺转移瘤消失，肿瘤标志物降至正常。另1例患者肝癌破裂根治术后，患者腹腔转移瘤切除术后，给予全身联合治疗，患者2年内病情稳定，肿瘤标志物正常。结论:FOLFOX4化疗方案在中晚期肝癌患者中的效果是肯定的，联合胸腺法新的全身辅助免疫治疗有助于增强全身化疗的疗效，改善患者的总体生存预后。

肠外营养支持联合FOLFOX4方案治疗晚期结肠癌的疗效探讨

目的：通过对两组晚期结肠癌病例的疗效进行对比分析,探讨肠外营养支持联合FOLFOX4方案在治疗晚期结肠癌中的应用价值。方法选取该院2011年2月—2013年2月收治的54例晚期结肠癌患者,将患者随机平分为实验组和对照组。实验组的27例患者采用肠外营养支持联合FOLFOX4方案进行治疗;对照组的27例患者仅采用FOLFOX4方案进行治疗。两组患者均在治疗3个周期后观察疗效。结果实验组和对照组的治疗总有效率分别为51.85%和44.44%,两组方案的疗效差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);实验组治疗后的营养指标明显优于对照组,两者差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);在这些症状当中,实验组恶心呕吐症状的不良反应发生率和末梢神经毒性症状的不良反应率明显高于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);实验组和对照组腹泻症状、血小板减少症状和白细胞症状减少的不良反应发生率差距不明显。结论采用肠外营养支持联合FOLFOX4方案虽不能显著提高晚期结肠癌治疗的治疗效果,但可以优化患者的营养指标,降低癌性恶病质患者总蛋白、清蛋白浓度,因此具有一定的临床推广价值。

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy in controlling lymph node metastasis for locally advanced gastric cancer in a Chinese population

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of FOLFOX6, SOX and XELOX as neoadjuvant chemotherapy for advanced gastric cancer. The study retrospectively assessed clinicopathological data of patients who received a radical D2 gastrectomy for gastric cancer from January 2010 to January 2013.The patients were either not administered neoadjuvant chemotherapy (control) or were given FOLFOX6, SOX and XELOX prior to surgery. The metastatic rate was also higher for the control group compared with the three chemotherapy regimens in N2 station lymph nodes (P?FOLFOX6 and XELOX (P?FOLFOX6, SOX and XELOX groups, respectively. In conclusion, SOX may be the most effective of these treatments as preoperative chemotherapy for Chinese patients with advanced gastric cancer.     

Serial measurement of hepatic lipids during chemotherapy in patients with colorectal cancer: a 1H MRS study

Hepatic steatosis is a hallmark of chemotherapy‐induced liver injury. We made serial ¹H MRS measurements of hepatic lipids in patients over the time course of a 24‐week chemotherapeutic regimen to determine whether ¹H MRS could be used to monitor the progression of chemotherapy‐induced steatosis. Thirty‐four patients with stage III or IV colorectal cancer receiving 5‐fluorouracil, folinic acid and oxaliplatin (n = 21) or hepatic arterial infusion of floxuridine with systemic irinotecan (n = 13) were studied prospectively. ¹H MRS studies were performed at baseline and after 6 and 24 weeks of treatment. A ¹H MR spectrum was acquired from the liver during a breath hold and the ratio of fat to fat + water (FFW) was calculated to give a measure of hepatic triglycerides (HTGCs). The methodology was histologically validated in 18 patients and the reproducibility was assessed in 16 normal volunteers. Twenty‐seven patients completed baseline, 6‐week and 24‐week ¹H MRS examinations and one was censored. Thirteen of 26 patients (50%) showed an increase in FFW after completion of treatment. Six patients (23%) developed hepatic steatosis and two patients converted from steatosis to nonsteatotic liver. Patients whose 6‐week hepatic lipid levels had increased significantly relative to baseline also had a high probability of lipid elevation relative to baseline at the completion of treatment. Serial ¹H MRS is effective for the monitoring of HTGC changes during chemotherapy and for the detection of chemotherapy‐associated steatosis. Six of 26 patients developed steatosis during chemotherapy. Lipid changes were observable at 6 weeks. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
