Overview
There is no treatment for [disease name]; the mainstay of therapy is supportive care.
OR
Supportive therapy for [disease name] includes [therapy 1], [therapy 2], and [therapy 3].
OR
The majority of cases of [disease name] are self-limited and require only supportive care.
OR
[Disease name] is a medical emergency and requires prompt treatment.
OR
The mainstay of treatment for [disease name] is [therapy].
OR The optimal therapy for [malignancy name] depends on the stage at diagnosis.
OR
[Therapy] is recommended among all patients who develop [disease name].
OR
Pharmacologic medical therapy is recommended among patients with [disease subclass 1], [disease subclass 2], and [disease subclass 3].
OR
Pharmacologic medical therapies for [disease name] include (either) [therapy 1], [therapy 2], and/or [therapy 3].
OR
Empiric therapy for [disease name] depends on [disease factor 1] and [disease factor 2].
OR
Patients with [disease subclass 1] are treated with [therapy 1], whereas patients with [disease subclass 2] are treated with [therapy 2].
Medical Therapy
- Pharmacologic medical therapy is recommended among patients with [disease subclass 1], [disease subclass 2], and [disease subclass 3].
- Pharmacologic medical therapies for [disease name] include (either) [therapy 1], [therapy 2], and/or [therapy 3].
- Empiric therapy for [disease name] depends on [disease factor 1] and [disease factor 2].
- Patients with [disease subclass 1] are treated with [therapy 1], whereas patients with [disease subclass 2] are treated with [therapy 2].
- Systemic chemotherapy for metastatic appendiceal adenocarcinoma has not been studied appropriately.
- Many experts refer to current colorectal cancer chemotherapy approaches for adenocarcinoa of appendix
- Current colon cancer chemotherapy agents
- 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) : Traditional active agent
- Irinotecan
- Oxaliplatin
- Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor inhibitors (bevacizumab)
- Epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors (cetuximab and panitumumab),
- Aflibercept
- Regorafenib: inhibitor of angiogenic tyrosine kinases (including the VEGF receptors 1,2, and 3),
- Capecitabine or 5-FU with or without a platinum drug
- FOLFOX6 has been widely recommended in patients with appendix adenocarcinoma.
- Oxaliplatin, 5-FU and leucovorin or Capecitabine are active agents of the FOLFOX regime. Please see below for the details of FOlFOX6 <math>\blacktriangledown</math>
Modified FOLFOX6[1][2] : Cycle length 14 days
*Oxaliplatin 85 mg/m 2 IV :*Dilute with 250 mL 5 percent dextrose in water (D5W) :*Administer over 2 hrs :*Avoid extravasation: May cause significant tissue damage *Leucovorin 400 mg/m 2 IV (d,l-racemic mixture) / 200 mg/m 2 IV (l-leucovorin) :*Dilute with 250 mL D5W :*Administer over 2 hrs concurrent with oxaliplatin. *Fluorouracil (FU) 400 mg/m 2 IV bolus :*Slow IV push over 5 mins (administer immediately after leucovorin) :*Fluorouracil (FU) 2400 mg/m 2 IV :*Administer immediately after FU IV bolus :*Dilute with 500 to 1000 mL D5W :*Administer over 46 hours *Doses should be recalculated if there is a 10 percent or more change in body weight.
- Prior to each treatment<math>\blacktriangledown</math>
- Assess changes in neurologic function
- Assess electrolytes and liver and renal function
- CBC with differential and platelet count
Common complications and approaches to complications
- Diarrhea:
- Grade 2 or worse diarrhea <math>\blacktriangledown</math>
- Withhold treatment
- Restart at a lower dose of FU after complete resolution
- Severe diarrhea, mucositis, and myelosuppression after FU <math>\blacktriangledown</math>
- Evaluate for dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase deficiency
- Grade 2 or worse diarrhea <math>\blacktriangledown</math>
- Neurologic toxicity
- In order to decrease chance of developing Oxaliplatin induced neuropathy recommend patients to avoid exposure to cold up to 48 hours after each infusion.
- Transient grade 3 paresthesias/dysesthesias / grade 2 symptoms lasting longer than 1 week<math>\blacktriangledown</math>
- Decrease oxaliplatin dose by 25 percent.
- Grade 4 or persistent grade 3 paresthesia/dysesthesia<math>\blacktriangledown</math>
- Discontinue oxaliplatin
- Myelotoxicity
- Total white blood cell count <3000 cells/mm 3 , absolute neutrophil count <1500 cells/mm 3 , or platelets <100,000 /mm 3 on the day of treatment<math>\blacktriangledown</math>
- Delay treatment cycle by one week
- If treatment is delayed for two weeks or delayed for one week on two separate occasions, eliminate FU bolus
- If occurred again<math>\blacktriangledown</math>
- Reduce infusional FU by 20 percent and
- Reduce oxaliplatin dose from 65 mg/m 2 .
- Total white blood cell count <3000 cells/mm 3 , absolute neutrophil count <1500 cells/mm 3 , or platelets <100,000 /mm 3 on the day of treatment<math>\blacktriangledown</math>
