`Advantages of preoperative radiation theraf)'y (RT} in rectal cancer
`include increased resectabi!ity and sphincter-sparing surgery. This
`analysis .assesses the influence of concurrent chemotherH.py {CT} on
`the outcome- of patients (pts) treated with preoperative RT for clinical
`stage T3/T4 (cT3/T4) rectal cancer. Two hw1Clred three pts with cT3/T4
`cancers received preoperative RT (median 55.8 Gy} followed by
`surgery. Forty-seven received concurrent CT (CRT group) and 156 did
`not· (RT 1:1,roup}. CT consisted of protracted venous lnf,usion 5-FU
`(300/mg/m"lday) ln 32 pts, weekly bolus 5-FU (500/mg/m/week)
`leucovorin in 10 pts, and olher 5-FU-based. CT in 5 pis. Following
`surgery, 36 pts received adjuvant 5-FU cnor3to 18.months; 26 in the
`CRT group and .10 .in.the RT group. The median .follow,up times for the
`CRTcand RT groups were 36 and 49 months, respectively. Clinically
`fixed. cancers constituted S7% (27/4TJ oUhe CRT group and 48%
`(75/1.56) of the RT group. Postoperative pathologic stage was T3/T4 in
`22/47 (47%) ofthe.CRT group and 951156 (61%) ofth€;) RT group. Th!l

`Functional folate status as a prognostic indicator ot toxicity .in

`Denver, CO.
`S.tudies in. animal models and humans have revealed that folate
`nutritional status may be correlated with toxicity and anti!umor activity of
`antifolates. Supplemental folic acid may play a role in protecting against
`Jhe
`toxicities associated with .anlifofate drugs, LY23i514
`is a
`multi-targeted antifolate that inhibits Thymidylate .. synthase, Dihydro(cid:173)
`fo!ate reductas.e and Giycinamide ribonucleotlde formyltrans!erase.
`folate status, based on serum concentrations of
`Functional
`homocysleine (HCYS), cystathione. (CYST AT); and meth}rtmalonic acid
`{MMA), was assessed in 116 patients participating in Phase 2 studies of
`l.:Y231514. This drug was administered as a iO-minute infusion once
`every 21 days. Samples were taken prior to initiation of· therapy and
`prior to .the start of each cycle. CTC toidcity scores (hematologic and
`non-hematologic} . .were assigned at !he end of uach cycfe. of therapy,
`Eight pts were found to be . fofate deficient (elevated HCYS. ahd
`CYSTAT and normal MMA}. Atlexperienced CTC grade.3 or4 toxicity
`whioh was primarily hematologic. From this .data, we would conclud\l'.
`that functional fotate staius appears to be.a.re!iable:prognostic inclicator
`of hematologtc ..toxicity that may be experienced from treatment . with
`LY2315-14. Fu~herinvestigation is warrant.ed to support this conclusion.
