    Abstract High microsatellite instability (MSI-H)/deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) phenotype is a distinct molecular signature across gastrointestinal cancers characterized by high tumor mutational burden and high neoantigen load. Tumors harboring dMMR are highly immunogenic and heavily infiltrated by immune cells; consequently, they are uniquely vulnerable to therapeutic strategies enhancing immune antitumor response such as checkpoint inhibitors. The MSI-H/dMMR phenotype arose as a powerful predictor of response to immune checkpoint inhibitors with evidence supporting significantly improved outcomes in the metastatic setting. On the other hand, the genomic instability characteristic of MSI-H/dMMR tumors appears to be associated with decreased sensitivity to chemotherapy, and the benefits of standard adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy approaches in this subtype are being increasingly questioned. Here, we review the prognostic and predictive impact of MMR status in localized gastric and colorectal cancers, and highlight the emerging clinical data incorporating checkpoint inhibitors in the neoadjuvant setting.

    Abstract Background: Complete resection followed by adjuvant chemotherapy is the gold standard for patients with localized cholangiocarcinoma (CC) or gallbladder cancer (GBC). However, this is not always feasible, and recurrence rates remain high.
    Objectives: To understand the real-world proportions and reason for treatment failure in resected biliary tract cancers.
    Design and methods: We performed a retrospective population-based review of patients with GBC or CC [intrahepatic (IHCC) or extrahepatic (EHCC)] resected between 2005 and 2019 using the BC Cancer provincial database. A chart review was conducted to characterize demographics, treatments received and outcomes.
    Results: In total, 594 patients were identified of whom 416 (70%) had disease recurrence. Most GBCs (96%) were diagnosed incidentally, and repeat oncologic resection was performed in 45%. Adjuvant chemotherapy was received in 51% of patients diagnosed after 2017 (mostly capecitabine). Patient co-morbidities, disease progression and patient preference were the commonest reasons for not proceeding with adjuvant chemotherapy. One-third of patients did not complete all planned cycles. Median overall survival was significantly higher in those with complete (R0)
    Conclusion: Complete resection, including reresection for incidentally diagnosed GBCs, and adjuvant chemotherapy were associated with improved outcomes in this retrospective cohort, yet many patients were not able to complete these treatments. Neoadjuvant strategies may improve treatment delivery and ultimately, outcomes.

    Abstract Background: Despite successes in the development of innovative anticancer therapies, the fiscal and capacity restraints of the Canadian public healthcare system result in challenges with drug access. A meaningful proportion of systemic therapies ultimately do not receive public funding despite supporting clinical evidence. In this study, we assessed Canadian medical oncologists' current attitudes toward discussing publicly unfunded cancer treatments with patients and predictors of different practices.
    Methods: A web-based survey consisting of multiple choice and case-based scenarios was distributed to medical oncologists identified through the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada directory.
    Results: A total of 116 responses were received. Almost all respondents reported discussing publicly unfunded treatments, including those who did so for Health Canada (HC) approved treatments (50%) and those who discussed off-label treatments (i.e., not HC approved) as guided by national guidelines (48%). Respondents in practice for over 15 years versus less than 5 years (OR 0.14, 95% CI 0.04-0.50,
    Conclusions: There is variability in medical oncologists' practices when it comes to discussing unfunded therapies. Given the limitations within Canada's publicly funded healthcare system, physicians are faced with the challenge of navigating an increasingly complex balance between patient care and available resources. Engagement of relevant stakeholders and policy makers is crucial in the continued evaluation of Canada's drug funding process.
