TL;DR

It is hypothesized that tumor response to different neoadjuvant approaches reflects underlying tumor biology, and achieving a pathologic complete response (pCR) with single‐agent neoadjuvant may signal favorable biology.

Abstract

Neoadjuvant therapy for pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has evolved from single‐agent to multi‐agent approaches, largely informed by metastatic disease studies demonstrating improved survival; albeit at the price of increased toxicity. It remains unclear how response to varied neoadjuvant regimens impact survival. We hypothesized that tumor response to different neoadjuvant approaches reflects underlying tumor biology, and achieving a pathologic complete response (pCR) with single‐agent neoadjuvant may signal favorable biology.

Beyond Major Pathologic Response in Lung Cancer: Biomarkers Predict Outcomes.

Neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy improves outcomes in resectable non-small cell lung cancer, yet pathologic response incompletely predicts durability of benefit. Spatial profiling using resected tumors and lymph nodes revealed distinct immune subtypes and identified a gene signature associated with improved outcomes, pro...

Impact of Liver Metastases on Outcomes With Chemotherapy or Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in Pancreatic Cancer

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is on the rise worldwide, with significant improvements in survival rates still awaited. Most patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage, often with liver metastases (LM), associated with poor prognosis and immunosuppression. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of LM on outcomes in patients...

PD‐1 Inhibitor (Sintilimab) Combined With Chemotherapy as Neoadjuvant Therapy in Advanced Ovarian Cancer: A Case Report

In a patient with advanced ovarian cancer showing limited response to paclitaxel–carboplatin, adding sintilimab was associated with R0 cytoreduction and sustained disease‐free status during olaparib–bevacizumab maintenance. This case provides a rationale for further investigation of PD‐1 blockade as neoadjuvant therapy...
