Advances in the Treatment of Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors (pNETs).
Authors: Strosberg J
Abstract
Recent clinical trials have led to significant advancements in treatment options for metastatic neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas. Sunitinib and everolimus have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for treatment of progressive pancreatic NETs based on phase III trial data demonstrating improvements in progression-free survival. Cytotoxic drugs such as temozolomide and capecitabine have been associated with high radiographic response rates; however data derives primarily from subset analysis of prospective trials and from retrospective series. During the next f...

A Phase II Trial of Cetuximab, Gemcitabine, 5-Fluorouracil, and Radiation Therapy in Locally Advanced Nonmetastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma.
CONCLUSIONS: The combination of cetuximab, weekly gemcitabine and continuous infusion of 5-FU with radiotherapy was quite well tolerated with intriguing clinical benefit and survival results in carefully selected patients with locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma. A trial with larger sample size will be necessary to confirm these results.

Predictors of acute gastrointestinal toxicity during pelvic chemoradiotherapy in patients with rectal cancer.
CONCLUSIONS: Women and all patients who were treated with 3DCRT had higher rates of grade 2+ diarrhea, and the younger patients had a higher rate of grade 2+ proctitis during PCRT. The use of more stringent dosimetric constraints in higher risk patients is a strategy for minimizing toxicity.

Acute gastrointestinal toxicity and tumor response with preoperative intensity modulated radiation therapy for rectal cancer.
CONCLUSION: Maximal bowel displacement with IMRT yields favorable acute GI toxicity and pathologic downstaging profiles, as compared to 3D-CRT in preoperative CRT for rectal cancer and warrants further prospective investigation.
