Meta Analysis
A meta-analysis of clinical trials over regimens with or without cetuximab for advanced gastric cancer patients.
To evaluate the efficiency and toxicity of treatment with or without cetuximab in patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC). ⋯ Adding cetuximab to chemotherapy does not improve OS or DCR compared with chemotherapy alone. Cetuximab-containing combination chemotherapy can reduce the risk of neutropenia.

We conducted a network meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of cetuximab and nimotuzumab in the treatment of advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). ⋯ Even though we didn't find significant difference between cetuximab and nimotuzumab in terms of survival outcomes, nimotuzumab is more advantageous in short-term efficacy.

Randomized Controlled Trial Observational Study
Effects of javanica oil emulsion injection combined with radiotherapy versus radiotherapy alone on the efficacy and safety in patients with esophageal cancer: a pooled analysis of 1269 cases.
To assess the effectiveness and safety of javanica oil emulsion injection (JOEI) when combined with radiotherapy (RT) in patients with esophageal cancer. ⋯ JOEI in combination with RT could benefit esophageal cancer patients with improved rate of response and quality of life, prolonged survival, and reduced incidence of adverse events. However, these results should be viewed with caution due to the limited quality of the included studies.
