Abstract
Nowadays in our society, lung cancer is exhibiting a high mortality rate and threat to human health. Conventional diagnostic techniques used in the field of lung cancer often necessitate the use of extensive instrumentation, exhibit a tendency for false positives, and are not suitable for widespread early screening purposes. Conventional approaches to treat lung cancer primarily involve surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. However, these broad-spectrum treatments suffer from drawbacks such as imprecise targeting and significant side effects, which restrict their widespread use. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted significant attention in the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer owing to their tunable electronic properties and structures and potential applications. These porous nanomaterials are formed through the intricate assembly of metal centers and organic ligands, resulting in highly versatile frameworks. Compared to traditional diagnostic and therapeutic modalities, MOFs can improve the sensitivity of lung cancer biomarker detection in the diagnosis of lung cancer. In terms of treatment, they can significantly reduce side effects and improve therapeutic efficacy. Hence, this perspective provides an overview concerning the advancements made in the field of MOFs as potent biosensors for lung cancer biomarkers. It also delves into the latest research dealing with the use of MOFs as carriers for drug delivery. Additionally, it explores the applications of MOFs in various therapeutic approaches, including chemodynamic therapy, photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, and immunotherapy. Furthermore, this review comprehensively analyses potential applications of MOFs as biosensors in the field of lung cancer diagnosis and combines different therapeutic approaches aiming for enhanced therapeutic efficacy. It also presents a concise overview of the existing obstacles, aiming to pave the way for future advancements in lung cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Nakamura I, Hatano E, Baba H, Kamei K, Wada H, Shimizu J, Kanai M, Yoshimura K, Nagano H, Ioka T. Impact of conversion surgery after chemotherapy in patients with initially unresectable and recurrent biliary tract cancer. Ann Gastroenterol Surg 2023; 7:1009-1020. [PMID: 37927929 PMCID: PMC10623972 DOI: 10.1002/ags3.12713] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2023] [Revised: 06/19/2023] [Accepted: 06/27/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose Gemcitabine, cisplatin, and S-1 chemotherapy was superior to gemcitabine and cisplatin chemotherapy for progression-free survival and overall survival for unresectable and recurrent biliary tract cancer in a randomized phase III trial (KHBO1401). This study aimed to evaluate the outcome of conversion surgery after chemotherapy in biliary tract cancer patients (ancillary study, KHBO1401-3C). Methods A total of 246 patients were enrolled in KHBO1401. We compared progression-free and overall survivals between the conversion surgery and non-conversion surgery groups. Results Eight patients (3.3%) underwent conversion surgery with chemotherapy, seven of whom were diagnosed with unresectable disease and one with recurrence. Six and two patients received gemcitabine, cisplatin, and S-1 chemotherapy as well as gemcitabine and cisplatin chemotherapy, respectively. Three patients in the conversion surgery group who received gemcitabine, cisplatin, and S-1 chemotherapy showed no disease progression and survived without postoperative chemotherapy. Preoperative carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) level was a prognostic factor for conversion surgery. After correcting for immortal time bias, 1-year progression-free survival rates in the conversion surgery and non-conversion surgery groups were 50.0% and 19.0%, respectively (hazard ratio 0.343, 95% confidence interval 0.286-0.843, p = 0.0092). One-year overall survival rates in the conversion surgery and non-conversion surgery groups were 87.5% and 56.0%, respectively (hazard ratio 0.222, 95% confidence interval 0.226-0.877, p = 0.0197). Conclusions Conversion surgery might be an option for the treatment of unresectable and recurrent biliary tract cancer in patients with normal preoperative CA19-9 level.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy is commonly used in adjuvant treatment of colon cancer as well as in neoadjuvant setting in patients with liver metastases. However oxaliplatin can cause damage to non-tumor bearing liver which presents as sinusoidal obstructive syndrome (SOS). These changes are difficult to differentiate from metastasis clinic-radiologically and manifests as sinusoidal dilatation, peliosis and nodular regenerative hyperplasia. CASE The present study reports the case of a patient with oxaliplatin-induced SOS which mimicked colo-rectal liver metastasis on follow up imaging studies after receiving neoadjuvant oxaliplatin based chemotherapy. After multidisciplinary discussion, patient was planned for simultaneous resection of rectal primary and right hepatectomy for metastasis. Final histopathology revealed no tumour in liver but the liver lesions seen radiologically were actually changes of oxaliplatin induced focal SOS and mimicked metastatic nodules. CONCLUSION In patients with colo-rectal cancer having received oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy, SOS may be considered as one of the causes of newly developed liver lesions, and should be subjected to additional radio-pathologic evaluation to prevent overtreatment and avoiding potentially morbid surgeries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The intent of this research was to generate and investigate the D-dimer to lymphocyte ratio (DLR) capacity to forecast the risk and prognosis of colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRCLM). METHODS From January 2010 to December 2019, 177 clinicopathologically confirmed colorectal cancer (CRC) patients (89 in the control group and 88 in the experimental group) were identified at the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Guangxi Medical University. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to screen independent predictive diagnostic and prognostic factors of liver metastasis in CRC, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and Kaplan‒Meier (K‒M) curves were established to analyze the diagnostic and predictive prognostic efficacy of the DLR in the development of CRCLM. RESULTS Patients with CRCLM had higher DLR levels and D-dimer levels in their blood, with statistically significant differences (p < 0.001). DLR might be employed as a predictor for the development of CRCLM, according to ROC curve research (sensitivity 0.670, specificity 0.775, area under the curve 0.765). D-dimer, lymphocyte count CEA, CA125, and CA199 were not linked to prognosis in patients with CRCLM in Cox regression analysis of dichotomous variables. In contrast, DLR level was a possible risk factor for the prognosis of patients with CRCLM (HR = 2.108, p = 0.047), and age, T stage, and DLR level (DLR < 0.4) were connected with the prognosis of patients with CRCLM (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION DLR serves as a risk indicator for the development of CRCLM.

Abstract
Highly sensitive and specific detection of cancer markers (such as carcinoembryonic antigen) is very important for early diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Herein, we developed a label-free fluorescent aptamer biosensor based on the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect and hydroxycobalt oxide (CoOOH) platform, and used it to detect carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) with high sensitivity and specificity. Fluorescent ionic liquid Compound B can combine with a CEA aptamer (CEA-Apt) through electrostatic attraction and hydrophobic interaction to form an ionic liquid/aptamer (CEA-Apt/B) complex and produce the AIE effect, thereby enhancing the fluorescence intensity of B. CEA-Apt/B was adsorbed on the surface of CoOOH when CoOOH was added to the buffer solution, and the fluorescence of B was quenched. After adding CEA to the solution, CEA-Apt/B bound to CEA and separated from the surface of CoOOH because CEA-Apt had stronger affinity for CEA, resulting in fluorescence recovery of B. In the level range of 0.67-10000 pg mL-1, the fluorescence recovery intensity of the sensor had an excellent linear relationship with the level of CEA, and its LOD was 0.2 pg mL-1 (S/N = 3). In addition, the sensor had good selectivity and can be directly used to detect CEA in human serum with high accuracy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) has been reported as a prognostic factor in patients with colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) after hepatectomy. However, the impact of a preoperative "CEA uptrend" on prognosis after hepatectomy in these patients remains unknown. This study assessed the impact of CEA uptrend on prognosis in patients undergoing hepatectomy for CRLM. METHODS Consecutive patients with CRLM who underwent hepatectomy between 2009 and 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients with CRLM for whom CEA was measured both around 1 month before (CEA-1m) and within 3 days (CEA-3d) before hepatectomy were enrolled. A CEA-3d higher than both the upper limit of normal (5 ng/ml) and CEA-1m was defined as a CEA uptrend. RESULTS Study participants comprised 212 patients with CRLM. Of these, 88 patients (41.5%) showed a CEA uptrend. CEA uptrend indicated better discriminatory ability (corrected Akaike information criteria, 733.72) and homogeneity (likelihood ratio chi-square value, 18.80) than CEA-3d or CEA-1m. Patients with CEA uptrend showed poorer overall survival than those without CEA uptrend (p < 0.001). After adjusting for known prognostic factors, the prognostic significance of CEA uptrend retained (hazard ratio 2.63, 95% confidence interval 1.63-4.26, p < 0.001). In subgroup analyses, the prognostic significance of CEA uptrend was retained irrespective of the status of RAS mutation or response to preoperative chemotherapy. CONCLUSIONS CEA uptrend offers better prediction of survival outcomes than conventional CEA measurements in patients undergoing hepatectomy for CRLM.

Abstract
Objective: Preoperative chemotherapy (PC) for colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) is widely used to improve prognosis, but its clinical benefit has not been fully established. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of PC for synchronous CRLM and the correlation between the histological response to PC and survival. Summary of Background Data: We enrolled 69 patients who underwent initial hepatectomy for synchronous CRLM between 2004 and 2018 at Gifu University Hospital. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathological factors and outcomes of 69 patients who underwent hepatectomy after receiving PC (PC group: n = 43) or who underwent upfront hepatectomy (non-PC group: n = 26). In the PC group, the patients were divided into the Grade 1 (n = 27) and Grade 2/3 (n = 16) groups according to their histological responses to PC. Results: The median survival and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates were 80.9 months and 61.5%, respectively, in the PC group and 71.7 months and 61.5%, respectively, in the non-PC group ( P = 0.867). Regarding recurrence-free survival (RFS) and remnant liver-RFS, there were no significant differences between the two groups ( P = 0.087 and 0.291). However, in a subgroup analysis, the median 5-year OS, RFS, and remnant liver RFS were significantly longer in the Grade 2/3 than Grade 1 group ( P = 0.008, P = 0.002, and P < 0.001, respectively). Conclusions: Some patients benefit from PC, and the histological response to PC had prognostic significance for patients with synchronous CRLM.

Abstract
Liver metastases of colorectal cancer can be operated with a curative intent in selected cases. However, more than half of the patients have a recurrence. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic and predictive value of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), human chorionic gonadotropin β (hCGβ) and tumour-associated trypsin-inhibitor (TATI) in colorectal cancer patients before and 3 months after resection of liver metastases. Marker concentrations were determined in blood samples from 168 colorectal cancer patients, who underwent liver resection between the years 1998 and 2007 at Helsinki University Hospital, Finland. The samples were taken before and 3 months after curative resection. Increased concentrations of CEA (>5 µg/L) and hCGβ (>1 pmol/L) 3 months after liver resection correlated with recurrence and impaired overall survival and increased CA19-9 (>26 kU/L) with impaired overall survival, but postoperative TATI was not prognostic. Preoperatively elevated CEA and CA19-9 correlated with impaired overall survival, but not with recurrence. Neither preoperative hCGβ nor TATI was prognostic. In conclusion, CEA is a useful prognostic marker, when measured 3 months after resection of colorectal liver metastases. CA19-9 also has prognostic significance and may have additional value.
