Article Abstract

Background: Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) with peritoneal metastases (PM) represent a complex clinical challenge due to low incidence and heterogeneous phenotypes. This manuscript describes the results of a national consensus aimed at addressing clinical management of patients with NEN-PM.

Methods: An update of the 2018 Chicago consensus guidelines was conducted using a modified Delphi technique, encompassing two rounds of voting. The levels of agreement for various pathway blocks were assessed. Key systemic therapy concepts were summarized by content experts. Supporting evidence was evaluated via a rapid literature review.

Results: Overall, the level of evidence for the management of PM in this disease was universally low. In total, 107 participants responded in the first round, with 88/107 (82%) participating in the second round. Strong consensus (> 90%) was achieved in 5/7 (71%) and 7/7 (100%) blocks in rounds I and II respectively. A multidisciplinary approach including psychosocial and wellness assessments received a strong positive recommendation. Management of NENs with PM was organized according to disease grade and symptom profiles. In grade 1 and 2 well-differentiated NENs, cytoreductive surgery (CRS) received strong support (>95%) following the management of functional syndromes (if present). For grade 3 well-differentiated NENs, systemic therapy is the primary recommendation, with surgical resection considered in select cases.

Conclusion: Given limited evidence, the consensus-driven clinical pathway offers vital clinical guidance for the management on NENs with PM. The need for high-quality evidence remains critical to the field.

Introduction: Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) exhibits significant heterogeneity in molecular profiles, influencing treatment response and patient outcomes. Mutations in v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1 () and rat sarcoma () family genes are commonly observed in mCRC. Though originally thought to be mutually exclusive, recent data have shown that patients may present with concomitant and mutations, posing unique challenges and implications for clinical management.

Pan-carcinoma sialyl-Tn-targeting expands CAR therapy to solid tumors.

Accurate identification of tumor-specific markers is vital for developing chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-based therapies. While cell surface antigens are seldom cancer-restricted, their post-translational modifications (PTMs), particularly aberrant carbohydrate structures, offer attractive alternatives. Among these, the sialyl-Tn (STn) antigen stands out for its prevalent presence in various epithelial tumors.

Background: Metastases in the lateral pelvic lymph nodes or mesenteric lymph nodes represent distinct categories of mid-low rectal cancer. This study investigated the patterns of mesenteric and lateral pelvic lymph node metastases in mid-low rectal cancer; the survival benefit of postoperative treatment was also analysed in these groups.

Methods: This retrospective multicentre study included consecutive patients with mid-low rectal cancer who underwent total mesorectal excision with lateral pelvic lymph node dissection in three Chinese institutions between 2012 and 2020.

Background: Intraperitoneal (IP) chemotherapy (IPC), including hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), has emerged as a promising approach to control peritoneal metastases in gastrointestinal (GI) cancers. However, the safety profile and toxicity spectrum of IPC remain incompletely understood. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence of hematologic and biochemical adverse reactions following surgery with or without IPC and to compare the toxicity profiles of normothermic IPC and HIPEC.

Background: Signet ring cell (SRC) colorectal cancer is strongly associated with peritoneal metastases (PM), but the role of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) remains uncertain due to poor prognosis. This study aimed to analyse the prognostic impact of SRCs, assess clinical characteristics, and evaluate the risk of open-close laparotomy.

Methods: This Swedish population-based study included patients with colorectal PM accepted for initial CRS and HIPEC at four national centres between 2010 and 2023.
