Perioperative chemotherapy has been shown to improve outcomes for resectable gastric cancer compared to surgery alone. Multiple large randomized controlled trials have found that perioperative chemotherapy results in higher R0 resection rates, improved progression-free survival, and overall survival compared to surgery alone. The addition of preoperative chemoradiotherapy to perioperative chemotherapy did not provide additional benefits in overall survival or progression-free survival compared to perioperative chemotherapy alone in one large trial. Ongoing trials are evaluating whether preoperative chemoradiotherapy can be safely added to improve outcomes further.

Gastric Cancer - Graded histologic response.pptxmanish513774
Does histologic response predict patient outcome in gastric cancer?
This slidedeck provide the problem, preclinical data, and a study proposal on how to determine its value.
Patients with gastric cancer receive pre-operative chemotherapy. The question remains what do we do when patients do not clinically respond to therapy. There are new targeted therapies that may be helpful in the long run.
Laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer management is feasible in highly complex centers with advanced laparoscopic service with comparable oncological results to open procedures with free margins, adequate lymph node count, with a low complication rate and very low recurrence rate.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Advantages
• Downstaging T/N
• Improves R0 Resection
• Delivering CT before Surgery
• Easier and better Tolerated
• Better Compliance
• OS Benefit (3 RCTs)
• Prevents futile surgery in progressors
Disadvantages
• Residual Tumors exposed to same therapy

• OS Benefit
• For all T2N0 or above stages of gastric adenocarcinoma perioperaive chemotherapy is standard of
care (Specially Bulky T3/T4, visible perigastric nodes or linitis plastica)
• FLOT 4 is the standard regimen at present
• Old regimen ECF/ECX are toxic and outdated
• In case of poor PS and Multiple comorbs FOLFOX or CAPOX can be used
• At present there is no role of perioperative chemoradiotherapy over perioperative chemotherapy alone.

53. CONCLUSION:
• No benefit of postop CTRT over adj chemo in D2 dissection
• ??Benefit in node positive patients
• Too few events after 53 months median f/u
Criticism:
• Even though ARTIST trial met accrual goal, both arm did better than
anticipated
• So number of events was smaller than planned
• Resulting in the study being underpowered for planned endpoints
54. ARTIST 2: Interim results of a phase III trial involving adjuvant
chemotherapy and/or chemoradiotherapy after D2-gastrectomy in
stage II/III gastric cancer (GC)
pathologically-staged II or III, node-positive, D2-resected GC
538 patients
adjuvant S-1 (40-60mg/m2 bid
4-weeks-on/2-weeks-off) for
one year
SOX for 2 cycles, then CTRT 45 Gy with S-1 40 mg
bid daily, f/b additional SOX for 4 more cycles
(SOXRT)
S-1 (40 mg/m2 bid 2-
weeks-on/1-week-off)
plus oxaliplatin 130
mg/m2 (SOX) for six
months
DFS at 3-years was found to be 65%, 78% and 73% in S-1, SOX and SOXRT arms,
respectively.
No difference in DFS between SOX and SOXRT was found (HR 0.910, P = 0.667).

56. CONCLUSION: Following curative resection of gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma, postoperative CTRT
using ECF before and after 5-FU/RT does not improve survival when compared to bolus 5-FU/LV before
and after 5-FU/RT.

57. Conclusion of adjuvant Trials:
• For patients who have already undergone potentially curative surgery with no neoadjuvant therapy adjuvant
chemotherapy is recommended as compare to surgery alone (stage T1N1, above T2N0)(CLASSIC).
• After D2 dissection there is no benefit of adjuvant RT (ARTIST 1 & 2, CALGB)
• For patients who have undergone less than D2 dissection or <16 LN dissected adjuvant chemoradiotherapy is
preferred (INT 0116).
• CAPOX is preferred regimen for adjuvant chemotherapy
• S1 is standard of care in Japan (S1 + Docetaxel is toxic but beneficial)
• Poor PS patients: FU/LV
• CAPOX
• Eight 3-week cycles
• Capecitabine (1000mg/m2 BID D1–14)
• IV Oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2 on D1
