Hand-foot syndrome, also known as acral erythema, is a distinctive and relatively common toxic reaction due to some anticancer drugs. It is characterized by a painful erythema on the palms and soles during chemotherapy, which is often preceeded by paresthesia. We report two cases of hand-foot syndrome induced by capecitabine, which is a relatively brand-new oral anticancer agent. Hand-foot syndrome is one of the most common complications of capecitabine, and is on the increase. Therefore, dermatologists should be aware of it.

INTRODUCTION: XELOX is non-inferior to FOLFOX-4 as a first-line treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer. This study compares the costs associated with XEL0X+/-bevacizumab versus FOLFOX4+/-bevacizumab in a non-reimbursed, out of pocket Philippine health care system.
METHODS: This is a cost-minimization analysis using Philippine General Hospital as base case and a typical Filipino patient of 60 kg with BSA 1.66. The outcome data were derived from the N016966 trial. These included the drugs capecitabine, 5-fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, and bevacizumab (BEV); chemotherapy cycles and corresponding hospital admission for each regimen; resources associated with treatment of adverse events such hospital days, ambulatory consultations, concomitant
medication, and central venous line insertion/removal, with costs and charges based on the local setting.
RESULTS: Highest cost (direct and/or indirect) was for FOLFOX4+BEV, followed by XEL0X+BEV, FOLFOX4, and then XELOX. The use of XELOX resulted in a cost saving of PhP 158,642 per patient compared with FOLFOX4. The use of XEL0X+BEV resulted in a cost saving of PhP 186,144 per patient compared with FOLFOX4+BEV.
CONCLUSION: XEL0X+/-BEV is less costly than FOLFOX4-F/-BEV in an out-of-pocket Philippine tertiary hospital setting from the patient's perspective.

PURPOSE: To assess the clinico-pathologic characteristics associated with pathologic complete remission (pCR) after preoperative chemoradiotherapy (PCRT) for rectal cancer and evaluate predictive factors for pCR and prognostic impact of pCR. METHODS: We analyzed 325 patients who underwent PCRT and surgical resection between September 1999 and September 2006. We have treated 319 patients with PCRT for locally advanced rectal cancer and 6 patients for sphincter-saving procedure. Chemotherapy consisted of either of bolus 5-FU (325 mg/m2/d) or capecitabine (1,650 mg/m2/d) for the duration of radiation and after surgery. Radiation therapy was delivered and surgery was performed 4~6 weeks following the completion of PCRT. We compared pCR patients with non-pCR patients according to the clinico-pathologic characteristics and followed up with a median of 32 (range, 12~91) months. RESULTS: The pCR (n=41, 12.6%) and non-pCR (n=284) groups were comparable in age, sex, location of the tumor, chemotherapy regimen, pre-CRT CEA level except pre-CRT clinical stage (12.2% vs. 0.4% in stage I, P= 0.047). There was no significant difference in genetic characteristics between groups. There was no specific predictive factors for pCR except pre-CRT T category (pCR in T2 (5/8, 62.5%) vs. T3 (33/283, 11.7%) or T4 (3/33, 9.1%), P=0.001). The 3-year disease free survival (DFS) was 100% and 83.6% in the pCR and non-pCR group respectively (P=0.012). There were 5 local and 34 systemic recurrences only in non-pCR group. CONCLUSIONS: Rectal cancer patients with pCR after PCRT have an excellent prognosis and are unlikely to fail locally or systemically because of the effect of stage. However there was no specific predictive factor for pCR except preoperative T category.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of additional 4-week chemotherapy with capecitabine during the resting periods after a 6-week neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT) in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer. METHODS: Radiotherapy was delivered to the whole pelvis at a total dose of 50.4 Gy for 6 weeks. Oral capecitabine was administered at a dose of 825 mg/m2 twice daily for 10 weeks. Surgery was performed 2-4 weeks following the completion of chemotherapy. RESULTS: Between January 2010 and September 2011, 44 patients were enrolled. Forty-three patients underwent surgery, and 41 patients completed the scheduled treatment. Pathologic complete remission (pCR) was noted in 9 patients (20.9%). T down-staging and N down-staging were observed in 32 patients (74.4%) and 33 patients (76.7%), respectively. Grade 3 to 5 toxicity was noted in 5 patients (11.4%). The pCR rate was similar with the pCR rates obtained after conventional NCRT at our institute and at other institutes. CONCLUSION: This study showed that additional 4-week chemotherapy with capecitabine during the resting periods after 6-week NCRT was safe, but it was no more effective than conventional NCRT.

10.Overview of Radiation Therapy for Treating Rectal Cancer.
Bong Hyeon KYE ; Hyeon Min CHO
Annals of Coloproctology 2014;30(4):165-174
A major outcome of importance for rectal cancer is local control. Parallel to improvements in surgical technique, adjuvant therapy regimens have been tested in clinical trials in an effort to reduce the local recurrence rate. Nowadays, the local recurrence rate has been reduced because of both good surgical techniques and the addition of radiotherapy. Based on recent reports in the literature, preoperative chemoradiotherapy is now considered the standard of care for patients with stages II and III rectal cancer. Also, short-course radiotherapy appears to provide effective local control and the same overall survival as more long-course chemoradiotherapy schedules and, therefore, may be an appropriate choice in some situations. Capecitabine is an acceptable alternative to infusion fluorouracil in those patients who are able to manage the responsibilities inherent in self-administered, oral chemotherapy. However, concurrent administration of oxaliplatin and radiotherapy is not recommended at this time. Radiation therapy has long been considered an important adjunct in the treatment of rectal cancer. Although no prospective data exist for several issues, we hope that in the near future, patients with rectal cancer can be treated by using the best combination of surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy in near future.
