Resumen
La suplementación con probióticos reduce moderadamente los efectos secundarios de la quimioterapia como las náuseas y la diarrea en pacientes con leucemia. Se necesitan más ensayos a gran escala para confirmar estos beneficios.
Área de la Ciencia:
- En el campo de la oncología
- Gastroenterología
- Microbiología
Sus antecedentes:
- La quimioterapia para la leucemia a menudo causa efectos adversos significativos.
- La gestión de estas complicaciones es crucial para el bienestar del paciente y la adherencia al tratamiento.
- Los probióticos están siendo investigados por su potencial para mitigar las toxicidades relacionadas con el tratamiento.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Evaluar sistemáticamente la eficacia y fiabilidad de las intervenciones probióticas en el tratamiento de las complicaciones inducidas por la quimioterapia en pacientes con leucemia.
- Proporcionar recomendaciones basadas en la evidencia para la práctica clínica con respecto al uso de probióticos en esta población.
Principales métodos:
- Se realizó un metanálisis exhaustivo de los ensayos controlados aleatorizados (ECA).
- Los estudios se identificaron a través de extensas búsquedas en bases de datos (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, etc.) hasta marzo de 2024.
- La síntesis de datos y la evaluación de la calidad (GRADE) se realizaron utilizando un software estadístico especializado (RevMan 5.4, STATA 15.0).
Principales resultados:
- Se analizaron ocho ECA en los que participaron 753 pacientes.
- Los probióticos redujeron significativamente las náuseas, la diarrea inducida por la quimioterapia, la hinchazón, el vómito y la indigestión en comparación con el cuidado convencional.
- También se observaron mejoras en los niveles de procalcitonina y factor de necrosis tumoral alfa.
Conclusiones:
- La suplementación con probióticos demuestra un beneficio moderado en el alivio de varias complicaciones inducidas por la quimioterapia en pacientes con leucemia.
- La evidencia de alta calidad apoya el uso de probióticos para controlar ciertos efectos secundarios.
- Se necesitan otros ECA a gran escala para validar estos hallazgos debido a las limitaciones del estudio, como el tamaño reducido de las muestras.

01:28Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Neurokinin-1 Receptor Antagonists
259
Neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptors are distributed across the GI tract, vagal afferents, and key CNS regions including the central vomiting center and chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) Chemotherapy agents stimulate enterochromaffin cells in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract to release large amounts of substance P (SP). SP is a neuropeptide released by specific sensory nerves in response to many different stressors, including those in the GI mucosa affected by chemotherapy. SP binds and activates...

01:27Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: 5-HT3 Receptor Antagonists
321
5-HT3 receptor antagonists, such as dolasetron, granisetron (Kytril), ondansetron (Zofran), and palonosetron (Axoli), are crucial in managing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) and postoperative nausea. These drugs selectively block 5-HT3 receptors in the visceral vagal and spinal afferent nerves, chemoreceptor trigger zone, and the vomiting center. They have a rapid onset of action and can be given as a single dose before chemotherapy. Ondansetron and granisetron, in particular,...

Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

01:29Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Dopamine Receptor Antagonists
440
Dopamine receptor antagonists, also known as antipsychotic agents, are critical in managing chemotherapy-induced vomiting. These antiemetic agents block dopamine receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ), inhibiting signal transmission to the vomiting center. Antipsychotic agents encompass phenothiazines (PTZ), butyrophenones, benzamides, and thienobenzodiazepines (Zyprexa), which are utilized for their antiemetic and sedative properties.

Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...

Cancer survival analysis focuses on quantifying and interpreting the time from a key starting point, such as diagnosis or the initiation of treatment, to a specific endpoint, such as remission or death. This analysis provides critical insights into treatment effectiveness and factors that influence patient outcomes, helping to shape clinical decisions and guide prognostic evaluations. A cornerstone of oncology research, survival analysis tackles the challenges of skewed, non-normally...
