Journal ArticleDOI

Perioperative chemotherapy with fluorouracil plus leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and docetaxel versus fluorouracil or capecitabine plus cisplatin and epirubicin for locally advanced, resectable gastric or gastro-oesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (FLOT4): a randomised, phase 2/3 trial.

TL;DR: In this article, the safety and efficacy of the docetaxel-based triplet FLOT (fluorouracil plus leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and doceteaxel) as a perioperative therapy for patients with locally advanced, resectable tumours was reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Histopathological regression after neoadjuvant docetaxel, oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, and leucovorin versus epirubicin, cisplatin, and fluorouracil or capecitabine in patients with resectable gastric or gastro-oesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (FLOT4-AIO): results from the phase 2 part of a multicentre, open-label, randomised phase 2/3 trial.

TL;DR: Findings from the phase 2 part of the FLOT4 trial, which compared histopathological regression in patients treated with a docetaxel-based triplet chemotherapy versus an anthracycline-based doublet chemotherapy before surgical resection, suggest FLOT was associated with significantly higher proportions of patients achieving pathological complete regression than was ECF/ECX.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased salivary acetaldehyde levels in heavy drinkers and smokers: a microbiological approach to oral cavity cancer

TL;DR: Increased local microbial salivary acetaldehyde production due to ethanol among smokers and heavy drinkers could be a biological explanation for the observed synergistic carcinogenic action of alcohol and smoking on upper gastrointestinal tract cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

High acetaldehyde levels in saliva after ethanol consumption: methodological aspects and pathogenetic implications.

TL;DR: It is concluded, that the microbial formation of acetaldehyde in saliva could be one explanation for the tumor promoting effect of ethanol on the upper gastrointestinal tract and this may support the epidemiological finding, that poor oral hygiene is an independent risk factor for oral cavity cancer.
