Sequence Therapy with FOLFIRINOX and Gemcitabine/Nab-Paclitaxel for Patients with Advanced Pancreatic Cancer: A Monocentre Retrospective Cohort Study

Alexander Queck et al.

Summary: This study investigated the treatment of 225 patients with pancreatic cancer and found that FOLFIRINOX treatment can temporarily control the tumor in the first-line, while combination therapy with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel in the second-line also achieved temporary tumor control. Patients who received second-line treatment had a better prognosis. More research is needed to demonstrate the superiority of combination therapy over monotherapy.

Systematic and mechanistic analysis of AuNP-induced nanotoxicity for risk assessment of nanomedicine

Euiyeon Lee et al.

Summary: Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have unique properties that make them widely used in various biomedical applications. However, there is still a lack of understanding about the biological and pathological effects of AuNPs. The biological fate of AuNPs is related to their physicochemical parameters, and evaluating these parameters' effects on biological interactions is a challenge. This review focuses on ongoing nanotoxicology studies that aim to characterize the effect of various AuNP characteristics on AuNP-induced toxicity.

Synergistic Antitumoral Effect of Epigenetic Inhibitors and Gemcitabine in Pancreatic Cancer Cells

Immacolata Maietta et al.

Summary: Epigenetic modifications play a crucial role in the proliferation, drug resistance, and metastasis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). In this study, researchers tested the effects of different epigenetic enzyme inhibitors and a drug that restores p53 function on PDAC cell lines. The results showed that inhibiting certain enzymes or combining drugs with gemcitabine can significantly reduce cell viability and potentially serve as a new treatment strategy for PDAC. RNA-Seq analysis also identified potential biomarkers for synergy.

Antitumor immunity and therapeutic properties of marine seaweeds-derived extracts in the treatment of cancer

Mostafa M. El-Sheekh et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the antitumor and antitumor immunological potentials of extracts from brown alga Padinapavonica and red alga Janiarubens. The extracts showed effective inhibition of liver cancer cells in vitro and enhanced antitumor immunity in vivo. They also reduced tumor cell viability and increased lymphocyte count while decreasing neutrophils and monocytes. These extracts have potential antitumor and immunological effects with low toxicity, suggesting further investigation into their mechanisms.

Green synthesis of silver and gold nanoparticles and their potential applications as therapeutics in cancer therapy; a review

Rania H. Taha

Summary: Cancer, which is one of the leading causes of death globally, can be treated with nanotechnology using bio-mediated nanoparticles. The use of silver and gold nanoparticles has shown promising results in cancer therapy due to their low risk profile and fewer side effects. The production of reactive oxygen species in cellular compartments is believed to be responsible for the anticancer properties of these nanoparticles.

Hyuna Sung et al.

Summary: The global cancer burden in 2020 saw an estimated 19.3 million new cancer cases and almost 10.0 million cancer deaths. Female breast cancer surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer, while lung cancer remained the leading cause of cancer death. These trends are expected to rise in 2040, with transitioning countries experiencing a larger increase compared to transitioned countries due to demographic changes and risk factors associated with globalization and a growing economy. Efforts to improve cancer prevention measures and provision of cancer care in transitioning countries will be crucial for global cancer control.

Hepatic Arterial Infusion of Chemotherapy for Advanced Hepatobiliary Cancers: State of the Art

Carmelo Laface et al.

Summary: Liver functional failure contributes significantly to cancer-related mortality. Systemic chemotherapy offers modest benefits for disease control and survival, but with notable adverse effects. Liver malignancies are mostly perfused by the hepatic artery, leading to the strategy of hepatic arterial infusion of chemotherapy. Current studies show favorable safety and efficacy outcomes for this approach in advanced hepatobiliary cancers, warranting further large-scale studies for confirmation.
