The aim of this study was to investigate medical oncologists' and surgeons' assessment of resectability and indication for chemotherapy, and the effect of an educational intervention on such assessment. Methods: Medical histories of 30 patients with CRLM were presented to ten experienced medical oncologists and 11 surgeons at an initial virtual tumour board meeting (TB1). Treatment recommendations were obtained from each participant by voting for standardized answers. Following lectures on the potential of chemotherapy and surgery, assessment was repeated at a second virtual tumour board meeting (TB2), using the same patients and participants. Results: Overall, 630 answers (21 x 30) were obtained per tumour board meeting. At TB1, resectability was expected more frequently by surgeons. Participants changed 56.8 per cent of their individual answers at TB2. Assessment shifted from potentially resectable to resectable CRLM in 81 of 161 and from unresectable to (potentially) resectable CRLM in 29 of 36 answers. Preoperative chemotherapy was indicated more often by medical oncologists, and overall was included in 260 answers (41.3 per cent) at TB1, compared with only 171 answers (27.1 per cent) at TB2. Medical oncologists more often changed their decision to primary resection in resectable patients (P = 0.006). Postoperative chemotherapy was included in 51.9 and 52.4 per cent of all answers at TB1 and TB2 respectively, with no difference in changes between medical oncologists and surgeons (P = 0.980). Conclusion: Resectability and indication for preoperative chemotherapy were assessed differently by medical oncologists and surgeons. The educational intervention resulted in more patients deemed resectable by both oncologists and surgeons, and less frequent indication for chemotherapy."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Merck Serono GmbH, Germany"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1002/bjs.9436"],["dc.identifier.isi","000332700100017"],["dc.identifier.pmid","24756914"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/33842"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Wiley-blackwell"],["dc.relation.issn","1365-2168"],["dc.relation.issn","0007-1323"],["dc.title","Discrepancies between medical oncologists and surgeons in assessment of resectability and indication for chemotherapy in patients with colorectal liver metastases"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Among this family, survivin, the smallest and structural unique member, deserves growing attention due to its universal over-expression in human tumors, and its prominent role in disparate networks of cellular division, intracellular signaling and apoptosis. Several preclinical studies have demonstrated that targeting survivin expression by the use of small interfering RNAs, dominant negative mutants, antisense-oligonucleotides and small molecule repressors sensitized tumor cells towards chemotherapy and irradiation and reduced tumor growth potential. Due to these properties, survivin has been proposed as a molecular target for anticancer therapies. Recent studies further revealed that radio-sensitization achieved by survivin inhibition seems to be multifaceted and involves caspase-dependent and caspase-independent mechanisms. In general, an enhanced rate of apoptosis, and pronounced cell cycle arrest have been observed. More recently, a hampered DNA-damage response has been noted, indicating a distinct role of the protein in radiation-induced double strand break repair. These properties were linked to a nuclear import and physical interrelationship with members of the DNA-DSB repair machinery such as phospho-histone H2AX and DNA dependent Protein Kinase (DNA-PKcs). The applicability of survivin-driven strategies in clinical practice is currently under investigation as the first survivin inhibitors successfully entered phase I/II trials. Although these trials do not include radiation therapy at present, survivin inhibitors may represent a novel type of molecular antagonists to improve the effectiveness of radiation therapy or chemoradio-therapy."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.2174/092986711794088362"],["dc.identifier.isi","000286588800003"],["dc.identifier.pmid","21110807"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/24326"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Bentham Science Publ Ltd"],["dc.relation.issn","0929-8673"],["dc.title","The Role of Survivin for Radiation Oncology: Moving Beyond Apoptosis Inhibition"],["dc.type","review"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

The eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries were characterised by substantial transformations in the confronting of animal pests.

Due to its central role as the major target of 5FU thymidylate synthase (TS) is a promising biomarker in rectal cancer. We assessed TS in 208 patients with regard to its predictive/prognostic capacity for disease free DFS and overall cancer specific survival (CSS). Methods: 167 patients cUICC stages II (28%) and III (72%) received preoperative 5FU based RCT followed by total mesorectal excision (TME) A comparison group n = 41 received postoperative RCT after primary TME. All patients were treated after standardized protocols within phase-II/-III trials of the German Rectal Cancer Study Group. TS levels from pretreatment biopsies and corresponding resection specimens were assessed by immunohistochemical staining for their impact on DFS and CSS. Additionally, a TS gene polymorphism (28 bp repeat) was analysed in respect to intracellular protein expression levels and prognostic significance. Results: Patients with low TS expression in pre-treatment biopsies showed a correlation with impaired CSS (p = 0.015). After neoadjuvant RCT there was evidence of lymph node metastases ypUICC stage III in 32.6%. Complete histopathologically confirmed tumor regression TRG 4 was achieved in 16 patients (9.5%). During follow-up (median 57 months) patients with low intratumoral TS expression and positive nodal status were at high risk for local and/or distant metastatic recurrence (p = 0.040). Analysis of the 28bp repeat revealed a correlation of 3/ 3 genotype with high TS expression in pretherapeutical biopsies (p = 0.05). Conclusions: TS represents a prognostic biomarker in locally advanced rectal cancer indicating an unfavourable outcome for patients with low TS expression and might help to adapt adjuvant therapy regimens by stratifying patients according to their risk for cancer recurrence.

In the present study the expression of the inhibitor-of-apoptosis (IAP) protein Survivin was evaluated in pre-treatment biopsies and corresponding post-treatment resection specimens, and was correlated to histo-pathological tumor characteristics and clinical follow-up. Methods: 116 patients with stage II/III rectal cancer treated with 5-FU-based neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy (RCT) within the German Rectal Cancer Trials were investigated. Survivin expression in pre-treatment biopsies and surgical resection specimens were determined by immunohistochemistry by two independent institutions and correlated with histopathologic parameters, tumor recurrences, disease-free and overall cancer-specific survival. Results: In pre-treatment biopsies, a higher Survivin expression correlated with advanced ypT (p=0.026) and ypUICC (p=0.05) stage as well as decreased disease-free survival (p=0.038) after preoperative RCT. High post-treatment Survivin levels were associated with advanced ypT stage (p=0.03) and residual lymph node metastases (p=0.04). Moreover, neoadjuvant RCT resulted in a significant down-regulation of Survivin expression (p < 0.0001). A failure of RCT-induced down-regulation was associated with development of distant metastases (p=0.0056) and cancer-related death (p=0.026), and was significantly correlated with disease-free (p=0.011 /0.02 ) and cancer-specific survival (p=0.0017 /0.01 ) in uni - and multivariate analyses.

Therefore, methods which allow comprehensive interrogation of genetic pathways and networks hold great promise in delivering tumor-specific signatures, because expression levels of tens of thousands of genes can be monitored simultaneously.
