Purpose
This study evaluated the efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) in patients with resected ampulla of Vater (AoV) carcinoma.
Materials and Methods
Data from 646 patients who underwent surgical resection at Asan Medical Center between 2000 and 2017 were retrospectively reviewed.
Results
The median age of the patients was 62 years, and 54.2% were male. Patients were classified into AC group (n=165, 25.5%) and no AC group (n=481, 74.5%). With a median follow-up duration of 88 months, in patients with stage I, II, III, median recurrence-free survival (RFS) was not reached, 44 months, and 15 months, respectively, and the median overall survival (OS) were not reached, 88 months and 35 months, respectively. Despite no statistical significance, RFS and OS were better in stage II patients with AC than in those without AC (median RFS, 151 months vs. 38 months; p=0.156 and median OS, 153 months vs. 74 months; p=0.299). In multivariate analysis for RFS and OS, TNM stage, R1 resection status, presence of lymphovascular invasion, and perineural invasion remained significant factors, whereas AC (hazard ratio [HR], 0.74; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.54 to 1.00; p=0.052) was marginally related with RFS. After propensity score matching in only stage II/III patients, RFS and OS with AC were numerically longer than those without AC (HR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.60 to 1.06; p=0.116 and HR, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.56 to 1.06; p=0.111).
Conclusion
AC with fluoropyrimidine did not improve survival of patients with resected AoV carcinoma. However, multivariate analysis with prognostic factors showed a marginally significant survival benefit with AC.

Clinical Outcomes of Second-Line Chemotherapy after Progression on Nab-Paclitaxel Plus Gemcitabine in Patients with Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma: Kyoungmin Lee, Kyunghye Bang, Changhoon Yoo, Inhwan Hwang, Jae Ho Jeong, Heung-Moon Chang, Dongwook Oh, Tae Jun Song, Do Hyun Park, Sang Soo Lee, Sung Koo Lee, Myung-Hwan Kim, Jin-hong Park, Kyu-pyo Kim, Baek-Yeol Ryoo; Cancer Res Treat. 2020;52(1):254-262. Published online July 9, 2019; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4143/crt.2019.190

Abstract PDF Supplementary Material PubReader ePub

Purpose
Since the introduction of nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine (nab-P+GEM) as first-line (1L) treatment for metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma (mPDAC), optimal second-line (2L) chemotherapy after progression is unclear. We assessed clinical outcomes of 2L chemotherapy for disease that progressed on 1L nab-P+GEM.
Materials and Methods
Among the 203 patients previously treated with 1L nab-P+GEM for mPDAC at Asan Medical Center, between February and December 2016, records of 120 patients receiving 2L chemotherapy after progression on nab-P+GEM were retrospectively reviewed. The response rate and survival were evaluated along with analysis of prognostic factors.
Results
Fluoropyrimidine-oxaliplatin doublets (FOLFOX or XELOX) were used in 78 patients (65.0%), fluoropyrimidine monotherapy in 37 (30.8%), and liposomal irinotecan plus fluorouracil in two (1.7%). The median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 3.29 months and 7.33 months from the start of 2L therapy. Fluoropyrimidine-oxaliplatin regimens and fluoropyrimidine monotherapy did not yield significantly different median PFS (2.89 months vs. 3.81 months, p=0.40) or OS (7.04 months vs. 7.43 months, p=0.86). A high neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (> 2.2) and a short time to progression with 1L nab-P+GEM (< 6.4 months) were independent prognostic factors of poor OS with 2L therapy.
Conclusion
2L fluoropyrimidine-oxaliplatin doublets and fluoropyrimidine monotherapy after failure of 1L nab-P+GEM had modest efficacy, with no differences in treatment outcomes between them. Further investigation is warranted for the optimal 2L chemo-regimens and sequencing of systemic chemotherapy for patients with mPDAC.

Growth Suppression and Induction of Chemosensitivity in Human Gallbladder Epithelial Carcinoma Cells (GBCE) by Adenovirus-Mediated Transfer of the Wild-type p53 Gene: Sung Bae Kim, Myung Hwan Kim, Sung Koo Lee, Tae Won Kim, Cheolwon Suh, Jeong Sik Shin, Jung Sun Park, Eun Soon Kim, Gyungyub Gong, Jung Shin Lee, Woo Kun Kim, Sang Hee Kim; Cancer Res Treat. 2003;35(6):521-527. Published online December 31, 2003; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4143/crt.2003.35.6.521

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
Mutations in the p53 gene are reported in 50~90% of gallbladder and bile duct cancer, and have been implicated in chemoresistance. We undertook this study to determine whether the introduction of the wild type p53 gene into GBCE (human gallbladder cancer cell line with a heterozygous p53 mutation) by an adenoviral vector could increase the sensitivity of the cell to 5-FU, a commonly used drug in the treatment of gallbladder cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: GBCE cells were transfected with either Ad/p53 or Ad/E1 in the presence of 5-FU. Gene expression was confirmed by western blotting. Nude mice were injected subcutaneously with GBCE cells. When tumors formed, intratumoral injection of Ad/p53 was performed. Reduction of tumor size was compared in two weeks of Ad/p53 gene transfection. RESULTS: Ad/53 transfection induced a dose-dependent inhibition of tumor growth. Tumor colony formation was more inhibited with p53 gene transfection than with mock transfection in the presence of 5-FU. The reduction in tumor size was more pronounced with p53 transfection than with mock infection.
CONCLUSION
These treatment modalities could be utilized in the treatment of p53 mutant human gallbladder cancers.
