1. Bevacizumab plus chemotherapy in elderly patients with previously untreated metastatic colorectal cancer : single center experienceJanja Ocvirk, Maja Ebert Moltara, Tanja Mesti, Marko Boc, Martina Reberšek, Neva Volk, Jernej Benedik, Zvezdana Hlebanja, 2016, original scientific article Abstract: Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is mainly a disease of elderly, however, geriatric population is underrepresented in clinical trials. Patient registries represent a tool to assess and follow treatment outcomes in this patient population. The aim of the study was with the help of the patients% register to determine the safety and efficacy of bevacizumab plus chemotherapy in elderly patients who had previously untreated metastatic colorectal cancer. Patients and methods. The registry of patients with mCRC was designed to prospectively evaluate the safety and efficacy of bevacizumab-containing chemotherapy as well as selection of patients in routine clinical practice. Patient baseline clinical characteristics, pre-specified bevacizumab-related adverse events, and efficacy data were collected, evaluated and compared according to the age categories. Results. Between January 2008 and December 2010, 210 patients with mCRC (median age 63, male 61.4%) started bevacizumab-containing therapy in the 1st line setting. Majority of the 210 patients received irinotecan-based chemotherapy (68%) as 1st line treatment and 105 patients (50%) received bevacizumab maintenance therapy. Elderly (% 70 years) patients presented 22.9% of all patients and they had worse performance status (PS 1/2, 62.4%) than patients in < 70 years group (PS 1/2, 35.8%). Difference in disease control rate was mainly due to inability to assess response in elderly group (64.6% in elderly and 77.8% in < 70 years group, p = 0.066). The median progression free survival was 10.2 (95% CI, 6.7%16.2) and 11.3 (95% CI, 10.2%12.6) months in elderly and < 70 years group, respectively (p = 0.58). The median overall survival was 18.5 (95% CI, 12.4%28.9) and 27.4 (95% CI, 22.7%31.9) months for elderly and < 70 years group, respectively (p = 0.03). Three-year survival rate was 26% and 37.6% in elderly vs. < 70 years group (p = 0.03). Overall rates of bevacizumab-related adverse events were similar in both groups: proteinuria 21/22 %, hypertension 25/19 %, haemorrhage 2/4 % and thromboembolic events 10/6 %, for elderly and < 70 years group, respectively. Conclusions. In routine clinical practice, the combination of bevacizumab and chemotherapy is effective and welltolerated regimen in elderly patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.

6. Priporočila Onkološkega inštituta za zdravljenje bolnikov z adenokarcinomom želodca2021, other monographs and other completed works Abstract: V Sloveniji vsako leto zboli zaradi raka želodca okrog 450 bolnikov, od tega ima tri četrtine bolnikov ob postavitvi diagnoze razširjeno ali razsejano bolezen. Zato je pomembno, da imamo razvito sodobno multidisciplinarno zdravljenje. Onkološki inštitut je na poti pridobitve evropske onkološke akreditacije, ki jo podeljuje priznana Evropska organizacija onkoloških inštitutov (OECI), katere član je tudi Onkološki inštitut Ljubljana. Namen tega projekta je razvoj kliničnih poti, ki bodo omogočile celostno obravnavo bolnikov z rakom. Slovenskih priporočil za zdravljenje adenokarcinoma želodca trenutno nimamo, zato smo bili primorani sprejeti te, ki jim bomo sledili na Onkološkem inštitutu. V teh priporočilih, zaradi drugačne narave bolezni, ni zajeto zdravljenje raka ezofagogastričnega stika.
