Histological transformation is an important mechanism underlying the acquired resistance of non-small cell lung cancer and prostate cancer to targeted therapy. However, no report has examined the role of histological transformation in mCRC. Here, we report the first case of histologically transformed large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma from primary colon adenocarcinoma during antiangiogenesis and anti-PD-1 combination therapy. The histologic conversion was confirmed by the observation that the transformed large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma lesion retained the original mutational signature found in the primary tumor. Sequential tumor biopsy and dynamic changes in tumor markers demonstrated the transformed process. The histological transformation not only resulted in discordant responses to the same treatment but also significantly shortened overall survival. This case calls for more attention to histological transformation in mCRC. Tumor rebiopsy upon disease progression and monitoring dynamic changes in tumor markers would help to identify such cases.</p>","PeriodicalId":100212,"journal":{"name":"Cancer Innovation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cai2.57","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50139156","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there are few data on the characteristics of cancer-related IITs. We performed a comprehensive analysis of the landscape of cancer-related IITs in mainland China in the past decade. All cancer-related IITs registered on two clinical trial registries in the United States (www.clinicaltrials.gov, CT.gov) and mainland China (www.chictr.org.cn, ChiCTR) from 2010 to 2019 were identified. IITs were reviewed manually to validate classification, subcategorized by cancer type, and stratified by design characteristics to facilitate comparison across cancer types and with other specialties. A total of 8199 cancer-related IITs were identified. The number of trials registered annually increased over time, especially in the last 5 years. Although interventional studies were predominant, randomized double-blind studies accounted for only 8% of IITs. In the past decade, the trend for interventional studies conducted with different drugs increased year on year, although the increase in hormonal therapy IITs was not significant. Additionally, cancer-related IITs were unevenly geographically distributed, with half concentrated in the economically developed cities Shanghai, Beijing, and Guangdong. We also found an increase in registration before participant enrollment (64.9% for trials in conducted in 2015–2019 vs. 40.2% in 2010–2014, <i>p</i> < 0.001) and data monitoring committee use (44.5% vs. 40.0%, <i>p</i> = 0.001) and a decrease in randomization (51.5% vs. 62.7%, <i>p</i> < 0.001) and funding (36.4% vs. 56.3%, <i>p</i> < 0.001) between these periods.
