Effects of sequential chemotherapy of FOLFIRI/FOLFOX on the endocrine axes of ACTH–cortisol and renin–angiotensin–aldosterone

Abstract: The chemotherapies of FOLFOX (leucovorin + 5-fluorouracil + oxaliplatin) and FOLFIRI (folinic acid + 5-fluorouracil + irinotecan) are effective for a variety of malignant tumors. In particular, the sequential chemotherapy of FOLFOX/FOLFIRI has become the preferred post-operational treatment approach for gastrointestinal cancer and an important palliative care program for advanced cancer. However, the sequential chemotherapy of FOLFOX/FOLFIRI showed severe side effects due to the fact that the toxicity of the d… Show more

“…It has been permitted in the European Union since 1999 and in the United States since 2002 [29,30]. FOLFOX had proven to be highly efficient in treatment of gastrointestinal cancer, which had enabled significant progress in clinical oncology in recent years [31]. Studies have found that the 10-year OS of patients with stage III disease receiving FOLFOX was significantly increased compared with those receiving 5-FU alone [32].…”

“…A recent report showed the ability of OXAL administration to elevate serum prolactin level [36]. OXAL was also reported to disrupt the endocrine axis of ACTH-cortisol and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone [37]. The treatment of OXAL is also likely to alter the functional activity of endocrine cells, including pituitary cells.…”

“…Although granulocyte-macrophage CSF effectively controls neutropenia, there are no definitive treatments for thrombocytopenia caused by anticancer drugs such as paraplatin, gemcitabine, and taxinol. 17,18 When patients develop thrombocytopenia, the dose of chemotherapeutic drugs may have to be reduced and the time schedule of chemotherapy may have to be shortened or even ceased. 19,20 Current treatments for thrombocytopenia include platelet transfusion, plasmapheresis, cytokines, and the combination of TCM and Western medicine.…”
