(Mols et al. 2014; Seretny et al. 2014). Oxaliplatin can cause acute and chroni c peripheral neuropathies, with acute neuropathic syndrome occurring in 90% of patients (Simard et al. 2019). There has been a focus on reducing the duration of treatment to reduce the risk of peripheral neuropathy, with cumulative dose the most important risk factor in platinum-based drugs (André et al. 2013; Buccafusca et al.
2019). Neuropathy can impact occupational performance and can delay return to
work, with added financial impacts (Lim et al. 2021).
Chemotherapy-induced ovarian failure is an essential consideration for women of childbearing age, yet to complete their family unit. Distress from failure to fulfil reproductive goals can persist for several years (Kort et al. 2014). Discussion, even brief, on the impact of treatment on ovarian function and fertility improves patients’ perception of their care (Partridge et al. 2004). Discussion of fertility preservation is imperative with all patients. Unfortunately, there is low use of fertility preservation in early-onset cancer, and this can be even less in patients with EOCRC than other cancer types (Selter et al. 2019).
5 The Growing Use of Cancer Immunotherapy
Increasing understanding of the immunobiology of colorectal cancer has enabled the development of molecularly directed and individualised treatment (Kanani et al.
2021). Immune microenvironment is of crucial importance in disease progression,
therapy response, and overall survival in colorectal cancer (Ganesh et al. 2019). Immunotherapy has emerged as an alternative in cancer treatment, with promising results observed in clinical trials (Zaborowski et al. 2021b; Eng et al. 2022). Most early trials focused on metastatic CRC; however, recent data from the phase I/II (NICHE-1) study suggest an upfront role for immunotherapy in operable stages I–III disease.
Microsatellite status has important therapeutic implication in CRC as it appears to predict response to immunotherapy with checkpoint blockade (Zaborowski et al.
2021b). Clinical efficacy is predominantly limited to tumours with microsatellite
instability, while microsatellite stable tumours are largely refractory (Le et al. 2017). The molecular profile and immune microenvironment of EOCRC remains largely undefined; however, it has been shown that younger patients more frequently have tumours displaying microsatellite instability (Zaborowski et al. 2020). Two recent studies have reported rates of MSI in 26% of early-onset colonic tumours and 12.5% of rectal tumours (REACCT Collaborative 2022a, b, c). Based on this evidence, there is a restricted number of young patients who would achieve a durable response from current immunotherapeutic strategies. Therefore, the critical challenges with immunotherapy in colorectal cancer are whether MSS tumours can be triggered to respond to immune modulation and establish mechanisms to overcome immuno­therapy resistance in these subtypes.
Radiation and chemotherapy have non-specific effects on tissue and exert cyto­toxic effects on normal cells, with immunotherapy overcoming the issue of

specificity (Johdi and Sukor 2020). However, with the increasing implementation of immune-based therapies into clinical practice, the potential damaging collateral effects on the immune system have come to greater attention (Ramos-Casals et al.
2020; Nappi et al. 2018). Immune-related toxicities are of concern to those who
would be eligible to receive immunotherapy agents and are known as immune­related adverse events (irAEs). Two-thirds of cancer immunotherapy-related complications are related to immune checkpoint inhibitors, with ipilimumab, pembrolizumab, and nivolumab responsible for approximately 60% of cases (Ramos-Casals et al. 2020). Combination therapy with anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD-1 carries the highest rates of adverse events (Kanani et al. 2021). Dermatological, gastrointestinal, hepatic, and endocrine effects occur most commonly, but irAEs can involve virtually any organ system, with pulmonary, pancreatic, renal, cardiac, neurological, haematological, and rheumatological adverse effects also documented (Ganesh et al. 2019). Typically these adverse events have delayed onset and can have prolonged duration (Ramos-Casals et al. 2020). They are frequently low grade and reversible and, however, can lead to more permanent morbidity, with overall irAE-associated mortality estimated to be in the region of 0.6% (Ramos-Casals et al.
2020). Initial concerns regarding immunotherapy-induced colitis leading to delay in
subsequent surgery appear unwarranted (Kanani et al. 2021). Although generally considered less toxic than chemotherapy, due consideration must still be given to the significant unanticipated side effects (Jannin et al. 2019).
While the main challenge is to elucidate the mechanisms to provide the benefits of immunotherapy to metastatic colorectal cancer patients that are mismatch repair proficient or microsatellite stable or have low microsat ellite instability, other questions remain to be an swered. Other key challenges that remain to be addressed include optimal duration of therapy, the benefits of a combination of ICIs and chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy, and how to best monitor response to immuno­therapy. Additional challenges of accessibility to these treatments, treatment cost, and reimbursement must be considered.
6 Conclusion
As patients with EOCRC are more likely to present with advanced disease with requirements for multimodal treatment, it appears that they face higher risks for long-term treatment toxicity. Furthermore, following cessation of therapy, patients may not actively seek help for symptoms, as they can believe they no longer have access to healthcare services and support. Striking a balance between treating cancer while preserving bowel, bladder, sexual function, and fertility is imperative. As treatment options expand, quality of life in survivorship is of increasing importance. The impact of an early-age colorectal cancer diagnosis and treatment on the personal life of individuals affected must be acknowledged. Multidisciplinary collaboration is needed to overcome the challenges of treatment in EOCRC.

Unintentional Weight Loss
https://t.me/med1917
and Malnutrition After Esophageal Cancer and Treatment
Alexis Sudlow, Annelie Shaw, Clare Corish, and Carel W. le Roux
Abstract
Patients with esophageal cancer present a management challenge from a
nutritional standpoint. Among patients with esophageal cancer, weight loss and
nutritional deficiencies are common with nearly 80% experiencing clinically
significant (>10%) weight loss at the time of diagnosis. Nutritional complications
arise not only as a result of the underlying disease process itself but also due to
subsequent medical and surgical treatment. The implications of malnutrition in
this patient population should not be underestimated as it has been identified as an
independent risk factor in predicting survival and, in some, may either delay or
entirely preclude undertaking surgery with curative intent. In patients who do
undergo esophagectomy, nutritional compromise is common with approximately
a quarter of patients being unable to meet caloric intake targets 1 year postopera-
tively and nearly one-third losing 15% of their baseline weight by 3 years. The
primary causes of weight loss are often attributed to early satiety, dumping,
reflux, and dysphagia; however, the underlying pathophysiology is incompletely
characterized. Mechanistic studies looking at other operations which induce
profound and sustained weight loss including bariatric surgery have provided
critical insights into some of the potential mediators involved in weight loss
including changes in gut hormones which modulate satiety and appetite via the
hypothalamic gut-brain axis. In addition to physiological changes, there are
important considerations with regard to alterations in eating behaviors and

A more complete understanding of the complex interaction between the physiological, psychological, and anatomica l changes related to esophageal can­cer and treatment may contribute to the development of a patient-centered approach in the management of weight loss and nutritional compromise in both the pre- and postoperative period, including the development of novel pharma­ceutical agents to mitigate these changes.

1 Introduction
The management of patients with esophageal cancer (EC) is challenging from a nutritional standpoint. The disease process itself, as well as subsequent treatment, has a substanti al impact on nutritional status and may have important implications for outcomes. In patients with severe nutritional compromise, this may limit further treatment options, including chemotherapy.
There are more than 20 defined histological subtypes of esophageal cancer recognized according to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification system. These are broadly classified according to their origin (epithelial or non-epithelial) and whether they are benign or malignant. Adenocarcinoma (AC) is predominant in North America and Europe (Table 1), attributed in part to specific risk factors contributing to its development, namely, the increasing preva­lence of obesity, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and Barrett’s esophagus (Malhotra et al. 2017), while squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) remains the most common histological subtype within most of Asia.

2 Diagnosis and Staging
Patients presenting with symptoms suggestive of EC, highlighted in Table 2, should undergo urgent upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy. Those who have visible changes on direct endoscopic observation (i.e., macroscopic findings), alongside common presenting symptoms, should have an urgent referral to a tertiary specialist center that has experience in managing EC (Allum et al. 2018).
Both direct observation at endoscopy and histological confirmation are used to diagnose the primary tumor. Following endoscopy demonstrating the presence of a suspicious lesion, urgent investigations, including computerized tomography (CT), should be arranged to facilitate prompt staging and allow for multidisciplinary team (MDT) discussion. The TNM staging system is a universal system to classify the anatomical extent and spread of cancers. In the absence of metastatic disease, the MDT may then request further investigations such as PET +/- endoscopic ultra­sound (EUS) to determine resectability.
Staging is paramount in developing a treatment pathway for an individual diagnosed with EC. Due to the risk associated with esophageal resection, in addition to the compromised quality of life postoperat ively, it is vital to select candidates suitable for surgi cal intervention to avoid and minimize futile surgery in those with incurable diseases (Shemmeri and Fabian 2021). Consideration of the significant impact undergoing esophagectomy has on quality of life is an important factor that should be discussed with each patient. Although a multifactorial process, changes in appetite and body weight are important components (Wainwright et al. 2007 ). The centralization of care has been recognized as a critical factor influencing postopera­tive outcomes, with better outcomes observed in high-volume centers, where surgi­cal experi ence is significant and a strong MDT is established (Wouters et al. 2009).
3 Treatment and Management of Esophageal Cancer
Immediate, essential MDT planning is vital to the clinical and disease stage-specific management of EC, taking consideration of comorbidities, and is recommended in the European guidelines for the management of EC (Rice et al. 2017). Generally speaking, the management approach for AC and SCC is comparable, with subtle differences in the choice of chemotherapy and/or surgery (Lordick et al. 2016).
