With the widespread use of lidocaine for pain control in cancer therapy, its antitumor activity has attracted considerable attention recent years. This paper provides a simple strategy combining with chemotherapy drugs aiming to relieve chemotherapy-induced and achieve stronger efficacy. However, there is still lack substantial pre-clinical evidence efficacy related mechanisms such combinations, obstructing their potential clinical application. In this study, we propose intraperitoneal (IPC) against gastric (GC) as an ideal scenario evaluate lidocaine/paclitaxel combination. Firstly, used human GC cells MKN-45-luc investigate combination vitro. Then, C57BL/6 mice drug suffusion suppress paclitaxel-induced hyperalgesia mechanisms. Lastly, BALB/c tumor-bearing nude evaluated synergistic pain-relieving effect Our results showed enhanced combination, which induced apoptosis, inhibited migration, invasion manner. animal models, effectively growth peritoneal metastasis tumor, resulting prolonged survival time. Meanwhile, anti-inflammatory alongside anesthetic effect, which, relieved by paclitaxel. These suggested that could be pain-free IPC formulation activity, provide promising treatment metastasis.

Surgical resection remains the prefer option for bladder cancer treatment. However, effectiveness of surgery is usually limited high recurrence rate and poor prognosis. Consequently, intravesical chemotherapy synergize with immunotherapy in situ an attractive way to improve therapeutic effect. Herein, a combined strategy based on thermo-sensitive PLEL hydrogel drug delivery system was developed. GEM loaded instilled kill tumor cells directly, then incorporated CpG injected into both groins subcutaneously promote immune responses GEM. The results demonstrated that had sol-gel phase transition behavior response physiological temperature presented sustained release, PLEL-assisted combination therapy could have better suppression effect stronger immunostimulating vivo. Hence, this treatment has great potential suggests clinically-relevant valuable cancer.

Abstract Patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) and diffuse peritoneal metastasis (PM) are not eligible for surgical intervention. Thus, palliative treatment remains the standard of care in clinical practice. Systemic chemotherapy fails to cause drug accumulation at lesion sites, while intraperitoneal (IPC) is limited by high clearance rates associated complications. Given poor prognosis, a customized OxP/R848@PLEL hydrogel delivery system has been devised improve benefit advanced CRC PM. This distinguished its simplicity, security, efficiency. Specifically, PLEL exhibits excellent injectability thermosensitivity, enabling formation depots within abdominal cavity, rendering it an optimal carrier IPC. Oxaliplatin (OxP), first‐line CRC, cytotoxic enhances immunogenicity tumors inducing immunogenic cell death. Furthermore, OxP resiquimod (R848) synergistically enhance maturation dendritic cells, promote expansion T lymphocytes, induce central memory cells. Moreover, R848 domesticates macrophages anti‐tumor phenotype. effectively eradicates metastases, completely inhibits ascites production, significantly prolongs mice lifespan. As such, provides promising approach managing PM patients without indications.
