Abstract Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of first-line chemotherapy with re-introduction of oxaliplatin (OX) more than 6 months after adjuvant chemotherapy including OX. Methods Stage II/III colon cancer patients with neuropathies of grade ≤ 1 who relapsed more than 6 months after adjuvant chemotherapy including OX were considered eligible. Eligible patients were treated with 5-fluorouracil, l-leucovorin and OX plus molecularly targeted agents or capecitabine and OX plus bevacizumab (BV) or S-1 and OX plus BV. The primary endpoint was the progression-free survival (PFS), and the secondary endpoints were the overall survival (OS), response rate (RR) and toxicity. Results A total of 50 patients were enrolled between September 2013 and May 2019. Twelve patients received 5-fluorouracil, l-leucovorin and OX (FOLFOX) plus BV, 21 patients received capecitabine and OX plus BV, 10 patients received S-1 and OX plus BV and 7 patients received FOLFOX plus cetuximab or panitumumab. The median PFS was 11.5 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 8.3–16.0), the median OS was 45.4 months (95% CI 37.4–NA), and the RR was 56.0% (95% CI 42.3–68.8). Adverse events of grade ≥ 3 that occurred in ≥ 5% of cases were neutropenia in 6 patients (12%), peripheral sensory neuropathy in 5 patients (10%), diarrhea in 4 patients (8%), hypertension in 4 patients (8%), anorexia in 3 patients (6%) and allergic reactions in 3 patients (6%). Conclusions First-line chemotherapy with re-introduction of OX more than 6 months after adjuvant chemotherapy including OX can be used safely with expected efficacy for relapsed colon cancer patients.

Abstract Background Cancer of the esophagus has one of the highest known associations with cancer–related malnutrition. The aim of the current study was to investigate variation in the body composition of esophageal cancer patients receiving supplementary jejunostomy feeding during neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) and to assess its correlation with outcomes. Methods Retrospective review of esophageal cancer patient's receiving jejunal feeding during nCRT. Patients selected for jejunal feeding tube placement were considered at high nutritional risk according to ASPEN criteria. Assessment of body composition was performed using L3-axial CT images acquired at diagnosis and after nCRT. Results Eighty-one patients were eligible for inclusion (67 M, 65.9 ± 9.7 yrs). Average weight loss and BMI at diagnosis was 11.4 ± 6.5 Kg and 26.1 ± 4.6 Kg/m2 respectively. Failure to complete nCRT as prescribed occurred in one patient. Following nCRT the prevalence of sarcopenia increased significantly in males despite jejunal feeding (69% vs. 87%; P = 0.013) but fell in females (57% vs. 50%; P = 0.705). Patients could be categorized into three distinct groups according to the degree of skeletal muscle loss (ΔSMM) during nCRT: minor-loss/no-change (n = 28; Δ > −6 cm2); moderate loss (n = 27; Δ−17 to −6 cm2), and; severe loss (n = 26; Δ<17 cm2). A female predominance was observed amongst patients with minor-loss/no-change in SMM compared to patients with moderate and severe losses during nCRT (36% vs. 11% vs. 4%; P = 0.005). Visceral obesity was also less common in patients with minor-loss/no-change in SMM compared to patients with moderate and severe losses during nCRT (39% vs. 48% vs. 58%; P = 0.401). Compared to patients with moderate and severe SMM losses patients in whom SMM was persevered by jejunal feeding during nCRT tended to have lower rates of over-all complications (62% vs. 59% vs. 43%; P = 0.318); pneumonia (27% vs. 11% vs. 11%; P = 0.186), and; pulmonary embolism (15% vs. 0% vs. 0%; P = 0.012). Long-term survival was not affected by either sarcopenia or SMM and adipose tissue loss during nCRT (P > 0.05). Conclusion This is the first study to report variation in body composition in esophageal cancer patients receiving a defined nutritional intervention during nCRT. In selected patients jejunal feeding appeared to stabilize parameters of body composition whilst other patients experienced significant losses. Observed changes in body composition predominantly reflect sex differences and may offer an opportunity to improve nutritional monitoring and future patient care.
