Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer related-death for both men and women and the 1-and5-year relative survival rates are 25%and 6%,***,it is urgent to investigate new antitumor drugs to improve the survival of pancreatic cancer *** peptide substance P(SP)has a widespread distribution throughout the *** binding to the neurokinin-1(NK-1)receptor,SP regulates biological functions related to cancer,such as tumor cell proliferation,neoangiogenesis,the migration of tumor cells for invasion,infiltration and metastasis,and it exerts an antiapoptotic effects on tumor *** is known that the SP/NK-1 receptor system is involved in pancreatic cancer progression:(1)pancreatic cancer cells and samples express NK-1 receptors;(2)the NK-1 receptor is overexpressed in pancreatic cancer cells in comparison with non-tumor cells;(3)nanomolar concentrations of SP induce pancreatic cancer cell proliferation;(4)NK-1 receptor antagonists inhibit pancreatic cell proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner,at a certain concentration,these antagonists inhibit100%of tumor cells;(5)this antitumor action is medi-ated through the NK-1 receptor,and tumor cells die by apoptosis;and(6)NK-1 receptor antagonists inhibit angiogenesis in pancreatic cancer *** these data suggest that the SP/NK-1 receptor system could play an important role in the development of pancreatic cancer;that the NK-1 receptor could be a new promising therapeutic target in pancreatic cancer,and that NK-1 receptor antagonists could improve the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

Background:Highly emetogenic chemotherapy induces emesis in cancer patients without *** purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a fosaprepitant-based triple antiemetic regimen for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting(CINV)in patients with solid malignant tumors,determine risk factors and externally validate different personalized risk models for ***:This phase III trial was designed to test the non-inferiority of fosaprepitant toward aprepitant in cancer patients who were to receive the first cycle of single-day cisplatin *** primary endpoint was complete response(CR)during the overall phase(OP)with a non-inferiority margin of 10.0%.Logistic regression modelswere used to assess the risk factors ofCRand no *** validate the personalized risk models,the accuracy of the risk scoring systems was determined by measuring the specificity,sensitivity and area under the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve(AUC),while the predictive accuracy of the nomogram was measured using concordance index(C-index).Results:A total of 720 patients were randomly *** during the OP in the fosaprepitant group was not inferior to that in the aprepitant group(78.1%vs.77.7%,P=0.765)with a between-group difference of 0.4%(95%CI,-5.7%to 6.6%).Female sex,higher cisplatin dose(≥70 mg/m2),no history of drinking and larger body surface area(BSA)were significantly associated with *** AUC for the acute and delayed CINV risk indexes was 0.68(95%CI:0.66-0.71)and 0.66(95%CI:0.61-0.70),respectively,and the C-index for nomogram CINV prediction was 0.59(95%CI,0.54-0.64).Using appropriate cutoff points,the three models could stratify patients with high-or low-risk *** nausea and CR rate were significantly higher in the low-risk group than in the high-risk group(P1).Conclusions:Fosaprepitant-based triple prophylaxis demonstrated non-inferior control for preventing CINV in patients treated with cis
