Cancer statistics, 2022

Summary: Each year, the American Cancer Society compiles data on cancer occurrence and outcomes in the United States. The latest data shows that breast and prostate cancer progress has stagnated, while lung cancer has shown improvements in survival rates. Lung cancer incidence for advanced disease has declined while localized-stage rates have increased, resulting in higher survival rates. Mortality patterns align with incidence trends, with lung cancer deaths declining rapidly, breast cancer deaths slowing, and prostate cancer deaths stabilizing.

Microsatellite instability testing in colorectal patients with Lynch syndrome: lessons learned from a case report and how to avoid such pitfalls

Sola Adeleke et al.

Summary: We present a case study of a patient with Lynch syndrome and metastatic colorectal carcinoma (mCRC). The initial immunohistochemistry (IHC) test for mismatch repair deficiency yielded incorrect results, but subsequent testing confirmed the presence of microsatellite instability (MSI). The patient responded positively to immunotherapy, highlighting the importance of accurate testing strategies to guide therapy in mCRC. We advocate for the use of both IHC and MSI-PCR tests and the need for a better understanding of their limitations.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Metastatic Colorectal Cancer: A Review

Leah H. Biller et al.

Summary: Colorectal cancer is the third most common cause of cancer mortality worldwide. For patients diagnosed with metastatic colorectal cancer, approximately 70% to 75% can survive beyond 1 year. Tailoring treatments based on the molecular and pathologic features of the tumor has shown to improve overall survival rates.

Triple-Regimen of Vemurafenib, Irinotecan, and Cetuximab for the Treatment of BRAFV600E-Mutant CRC: A Case Report and Review

Su Min Cho et al.

Summary: Approximately 10% of colorectal cancer cases exhibit mutations in the BRAF proto-oncogene, most commonly the V600E mutation. These BRAF-mutant CRC cases have shown limited response to traditional therapies and poor survival rates. A 75-year-old man with BRAF(V600E)-mutant CRC achieved complete response and remission after 40 cycles of the vemurafenib, irinotecan, and cetuximab (VIC) regimen, which was based on the SWOG 1406 trial and highlighted the effectiveness of BRAF(V600E) and EGFR inhibitors in combination therapy.
