Background: Imaging of dense breast represents a diagnostic challenge for interpreting radiologists. Tomosynthesis and ultrasound are used as additional imaging tools to compensate the lower sensitivity of 2D mammography when examining a dense breast. This study compares the diagnostic performance of 50° wide-angle digital breast tomosynthesis (wide-angle DBT) to hand-held breast ultrasound (HHUS) in the evaluation of probably benign and malignant breast lesions in dense breast. Patients and Methods: A retrospective review of 131 women with dense breasts (ACR C and D) was conducted during a 12-months period (October 2018 -October 2019). Out of the 131 women; 40 cases (30.5%) were reported to have 64 probably benign and malignant lesions (BI-RADS 3, 4 and 5) detected by combined wide-angle DBT and HHUS. Patients with negative results (BI-RADS 1) or typically benign lesions (BI-RADS 2) were excluded from this study. Median age for the included 40 cases=46.8 years (range =30-67). Women above the age of 40 (n=35, 87%) were examined with combined 2D mammogram + wide-angle DBT and ultrasound. Women below 40 (n=5, 13%) were initially examined by ultrasound and obtained complementary wide-angle DBT mammography based on clinical necessity. Separate BI-RADS were given for each modality and independently correlated with histopathological results for BI-RADS 4 and 5, or routine follow up images for BI-RADS 3. Results: Among the 64 lesions; 10 (15.6%) were pathologically proven malignant in 5 cases (two cases were presenting with multi-focal disease), and 54 (84.4%) benign lesions pathologically proven or followed up in 35 patients. Sensitivity was 100% for wide-angle DBT (10/10) and 80% for ultrasound (8/10). Specificity and positive predictive value for ultrasound was 94.4% (51/54) and 72.7% (8/11), respectively. For wide-angle DBT, specificity was 90.7% (49/54) and positive predictive value was 66.7% (10/15). Despite the high sensitivity, in our study, DBT showed equal diagnostic accuracy to that of breast ultrasound (92.2%, 59/64). Both modalities were not similar in depicting malignant lesions; two more lesions were initially identified at wide-angle DBT images presented as <1cm area of architectural distortion (p=0.07). Other two diagnostic cases presented with acute inflammatory symptoms; they showed architectural distortion in DBT, which were false-positives for the later, yet, ultrasound showed mastitis and abscess formation. Ultrasound significantly identified more benign lesions than DBT mammography (p=0.001). Conclusion: Wide-angle DBT and HHUS are indispensable in identifying probably benign and malignant lesions in dense breasts. Our study showed the role of Wide-angle DBT in detecting small (<1 cm) malignant lesions presenting as architectural distortion. However, the radiologists experience with DBT and the significant clinical information added by ultrasound may impact the diagnostic performance. Therefore, supplemental HHUS to wide-angle DBT
背景:致密乳腺影像学对放射科医生来说是一个诊断挑战。断层合成和超声被用作额外的成像工具,以弥补二维乳房x线摄影在检查致密乳房时较低的灵敏度。本研究比较了50°广角数字乳腺断层合成(wide-angle DBT)与手持式乳腺超声(hus)在致密乳腺中对可能良恶性乳腺病变的诊断性能。患者和方法:在2018年10月至2019年10月的12个月期间,对131名致密性乳房(ACR C和D)女性进行了回顾性研究。在131名女性中;广角DBT联合hus检出64个可能良恶性病变(BI-RADS 3、4、5),共40例(30.5%)。阴性结果(BI-RADS 1)或典型良性病变(BI-RADS 2)的患者被排除在本研究之外。纳入的40例病例中位年龄=46.8岁(范围=30-67岁)。40岁以上女性(35例,87%)行二维乳房x线+广角DBT +超声联合检查。40岁以下的女性(n= 5,13 %)最初通过超声检查,并根据临床需要进行补充广角DBT乳房x光检查。每种模式分别给出BI-RADS,并与BI-RADS 4和5的组织病理学结果或BI-RADS 3的常规随访图像独立相关。结果:64个病变中;5例病理证实为恶性病变10例(15.6%),其中2例多灶性病变,35例病理证实或随访的良性病变54例(84.4%)。广角DBT灵敏度为100%(10/10),超声灵敏度为80%(8/10)。超声特异性为94.4%(51/54),阳性预测值为72.7%(8/11)。广角DBT的特异性为90.7%(49/54),阳性预测值为66.7%(10/15)。在我们的研究中,DBT的诊断准确率与乳腺超声相当(92.2%,59/64)。两种方式在描述恶性病变方面不相似;另外两个病变最初在广角DBT图像上被识别为<1cm的建筑变形区域(p=0.07)。另外2例诊断病例表现为急性炎症症状;他们在DBT上显示建筑扭曲,后者是假阳性,然而,超声显示乳腺炎和脓肿形成。超声诊断出的良性病变明显多于DBT (p=0.001)。结论:广角DBT和hus是鉴别乳腺致密病变的重要手段。我们的研究显示广角DBT在检测以结构扭曲为表现的小(< 1cm)恶性病变中的作用。然而,放射科医生的DBT经验和超声增加的重要临床信息可能会影响诊断效果。因此,在广角DBT的基础上补充HHUS将提高准确性和真阴性结果,从而降低良性活检率。

This research study explored the mutations in the exon 3 and exon 4 of the P53 gene in cervical cancer. Genomic DNA was isolated and purified from cervical tissue biopsies obtained from patients reporting at the University College Hospital, Ibadan. The purified genomic DNA was quantified using NanoDropTM 2000 spectrophotometer. The region of interest was amplified using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), this was quantified on a 1.5% agarose gel, and the ethidium bromide stained gel was viewed on a transilluminator. The PCR products were sequenced at Inqaba Biotec, and chromatogram was analyzed using FinchTv and SnapGene Viewer. Nucleotide BLAST was performed on the DNA sequence for sequence identity and retrieval of reference sequence. Multiple Sequence Alignment using T-COFFEE was performed to reveal the polymorphic variations in the samples. The outcome of this study showed nineteen identified polymorphic variants; Missense mutations occurred in 47% of the samples, 32% were silent mutations, 16% were frameshift mutation and 5% nonsense mutation. Sociodemographic characteristics revealed that 60% of the study participants has husbands with multiple sexual partners and that only 23.3% of the participants have ever done pap smear test prior to diagnosis, while 20% of them are unaware of the screening test. The histopathological result, alongside the Multiple Sequence Alignment revealed that with higher severity of cervical carcinoma, the p53 gene tends to accumulate more mutations. Our study also revealed the poor knowledge of Nigerian women to cancer screening, this may be one of the contributory factors to late diagnosis of cervical cancer among the African population. Hence, awareness for uptake of cancer screening and early detection are encouraged.
本研究探讨了宫颈癌中P53基因外显子3和外显子4的突变。从伊巴丹大学学院医院报告的患者的宫颈组织活检中分离和纯化了基因组DNA。用NanoDropTM 2000分光光度计对纯化的基因组DNA进行定量。用聚合酶链式反应(PCR)扩增感兴趣的区域,在1.5%琼脂糖凝胶上定量,并在透照器上观察溴化乙啶染色凝胶。PCR产物在Inqaba Biotec测序,使用FinchTv和SnapGene Viewer进行色谱分析。对DNA序列进行核苷酸BLAST鉴定,检索参考序列。使用T-COFFEE进行多序列比对以揭示样品中的多态性变异。本研究结果显示19个已确定的多态性变异;47%的样本发生错义突变,32%为沉默突变,16%为移码突变,5%为无义突变。社会人口学特征显示,60%的研究参与者的丈夫有多个性伴侣,只有23.3%的参与者在诊断前做过巴氏涂片检查,而其中20%的人不知道筛查测试。组织病理学结果和多重序列比对显示,随着宫颈癌严重程度的增加,p53基因倾向于积累更多的突变。我们的研究还揭示了尼日利亚妇女对癌症筛查知识的贫乏,这可能是非洲人口中宫颈癌诊断晚的因素之一。因此,鼓励对癌症筛查和早期发现的认识。

Background: Although lymphadenectomy is advised for accurate surgical endometrial-carcinoma staging, the procedure is not performed regularly worldwide. Most studies on it include few patients and mainly compare pelvic with pelvic/para-aortic lymphadenectomy. Comparing lymphadenectomy with non-lymphadenectomy is rare. The current study examined prognostic significance and survival advantages of pelvic and pelvic/para-aortic lymphadenectomy compared to no lymphadenectomy. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective cohort analysis of 75 patients with endometrial carcinomas. The patients were divided into 3 treatment groups based on whether or not lymph-node dissection was performed and the extent of the dissections: (1) pelvic lymphadenectomy; (2) pelvic/para-aortic lymphadenectomy; and (3) no lymphadenectomy. Correlations were analyzed among the surgical techniques used for the 3 groups with respect to the need for adjuvant radiotherapy or chemotherapy, recurrences, and survival outcomes. Results: Pelvic and pelvic/para-aortic lymphadenectomy produced more-favorable overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) rates than no lymphadenectomy (p = 0.047). A significant difference was noted among the 3 treatment groups for OS rate and disease-free survival rates (p = 0.015 and 0.017, respectively). The recurrence rates were 47.1%, 35.7%, and 68.8% in the pelvic lymphadenectomy, and pelvic/para-aortic lymphadenectomy, and no lymphadenectomy groups, respectively (p = 0.037). Conclusions: This study showed that pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy improved the OS and PFS rates of patients with endometrial cancer.
背景:虽然淋巴结切除术被建议用于准确的子宫内膜癌手术分期,但该手术在世界范围内并不经常进行。大多数研究涉及的患者较少,主要比较盆腔与盆腔/腹主动脉旁淋巴结切除术。比较淋巴结切除术和非淋巴结切除术是罕见的。目前的研究考察了盆腔和盆腔/腹主动脉旁淋巴结切除术与不进行淋巴结切除术相比的预后意义和生存优势。材料和方法:对75例子宫内膜癌患者进行回顾性队列分析。根据是否行淋巴结清扫及清扫程度将患者分为3个治疗组:(1)盆腔淋巴结清扫;(2)盆腔/主动脉旁淋巴结切除术;(3)未行淋巴结切除术。分析了三组患者使用的手术技术与辅助放疗或化疗的必要性、复发率和生存结果的相关性。结果:盆腔和盆腔/腹主动脉旁淋巴结切除术的总生存期(OS)和无进展生存期(PFS)比未行淋巴结切除术的生存率更高(p = 0.047)。3个治疗组的总生存率和无病生存率差异有统计学意义(p值分别为0.015和0.017)。盆腔淋巴结切除术组、盆腔/主动脉旁淋巴结切除术组和未行淋巴结切除术组的复发率分别为47.1%、35.7%和68.8% (p = 0.037)。结论:本研究表明盆腔和主动脉旁淋巴结切除术可提高子宫内膜癌患者的OS和PFS率。

Introduction and Objective: In adjuvant radiotherapy for left breast cancer, a significant heart volume may be included in the radiation field leading to long-term cardiac toxicities. Deep inspiratory breath hold technique (DIBH) leads to chest wall separation away from the heart and thus can reduce the heart dose compared to free breathing technique. The aim of this study is to correlate dosimetrically the degree of chest wall expansion measured on planning 4D-CT scan to the heart dose in left breast cancer irradiation using DIBH technique. Materials and Methods: Thirty four patients with left breast cancer planned for adjuvant radiotherapy were included. All patients were scanned by Varian RPM (Real Time Position Managment) respiratory gating system using infrared reflecting markers and a video camera to detect the respiratory motion. IMRT or VMAT plans were done for all patients with a prescribed dose 50Gy/25fr/5w with or without operative bed boost dose 10Gy/5fr/1w. The degree of chest wall expansion was identified by measuring the amplitude of DIBH breathing curve from baseline in planning 4D-CT scan in centimeters. The depth of expansion was correlated dosimetrically with the heart V20, V30, and mean heartdose. Results: The mean distance of chest wall expansion was 2.9cm. The mean left lung dose was 8.6Gy. The mean left lung V20 was 13.8%. The mean heart dose was 1.8Gy. The mean heart V30 was 0.6%. A statistically significant reduction of the mean heart dose and V30 was observed with chest wall expansion of 1.4cm or higher (p<0.05). Conclusion: In DIBH technique, the depth of chest wall expansion in 4DCT planning is dosimetrically correlated with the cardiac dose reduction during adjuvant irradiation of left breast cancer. Further clinical studies are needed to translate this dosimetric advantage into clinical benefit.
简介与目的:在左乳腺癌的辅助放疗中,较大的心脏容积可能包含在导致长期心脏毒性的放射场中。深吸气屏气技术(DIBH)使胸壁与心脏分离,因此与自由呼吸技术相比,可以减少心脏剂量。本研究的目的是将计划4D-CT扫描胸壁扩张程度与使用DIBH技术照射左乳腺癌时的心脏剂量进行剂量学关联。材料与方法:选取34例拟行辅助放疗的左乳腺癌患者。所有患者均采用Varian RPM(实时位置管理)呼吸门控系统,使用红外反射标记和摄像机扫描呼吸运动。所有患者的IMRT或VMAT计划均为处方剂量50Gy/25fr/5w,伴有或不伴有手术床增强剂量10Gy/5fr/1w。在规划4D-CT扫描时,以厘米为单位测量DIBH呼吸曲线从基线的振幅来确定胸壁扩张程度。扩张深度与心脏V20、V30和平均心脏剂量呈剂量相关。结果:胸壁扩张距离平均为2.9cm。左肺平均剂量8.6Gy。平均左肺V20为13.8%。平均心脏剂量为1.8Gy。平均心脏V30为0.6%。胸壁扩张1.4cm及以上时,平均心脏剂量和V30均有统计学意义的降低(p<0.05)。结论:在DIBH技术中,4DCT规划胸壁扩张深度与左乳腺癌辅助照射时心脏剂量减少呈剂量学相关。需要进一步的临床研究将这种剂量学优势转化为临床效益。

Background: Social support (SS) has been proven to be associated with improved outcome of early breast cancer. Little is known about the magnitude of social support available for Egyptian breast cancer patient and much less is known about the changes that occur in such support after the diagnosis of breast cancer and starting treatment. Methods: We designed a longitudinal questionnaire based prospective cohort study using the six item form of the Medical Outcomes Study- Social Support Survey (MOS-SSS) questionnaire and included patients with pathologically proven non-metastatic breast cancer 18-70 years of age. Patients completed the self administered questionnaire at 2 time points: at first diagnosis of breast cancer and after 3-6 months of starting treatment. Comparison of the pre and post treatment questionnaires was done using paired sample T test. Results: A total of 48 patients completed the 2 questionnaires. Median age was 48 years (range: 24-65 years). Seventy percent of our patients were married, 67% had more than 2 children and 77.8% were housewives. Around half of the patients (45.2%) had monthly income below 1200 EGP. Patients who had higher education level (p=0.002) and those who were living in Cairo (p=0.033) reported higher SS at baseline. Mean MOS-SSS score at baseline was 64.4 (±24.8) while after treatment was 76.4 (±22.3); p<0.001. The increase in SS was consistent in most of the patient subgroups but was more prominent in illiterate patients compared to educated (p=0.033), those who work a handy job compared to housewife (p=0.04), and those who lived in Upper Egypt compared to Cairo residents (p=0.029). Conclusion: The majority of Egyptian breast cancer patients had a supportive environment after the diagnosis of breast cancer. A special attention should be paid to the at-risk groups with no sufficient SS during that period.
背景:社会支持(SS)已被证明与早期乳腺癌预后的改善有关。对埃及乳腺癌患者可获得的社会支持的规模知之甚少,而对乳腺癌诊断和开始治疗后这种支持发生的变化则知之甚少。方法:我们采用医学结局研究-社会支持调查(MOS-SSS)问卷的六项形式设计了一项基于纵向问卷的前瞻性队列研究,纳入了18-70岁病理证实的非转移性乳腺癌患者。患者在乳腺癌初诊时和开始治疗3-6个月后2个时间点完成自填问卷。治疗前后问卷比较采用配对样本T检验。结果:共48例患者完成了2份问卷。中位年龄48岁(范围:24-65岁)。70%的患者已婚,67%的患者有两个以上的孩子,77.8%的患者是家庭主妇。约半数患者(45.2%)月收入低于1200egp。受教育程度较高的患者(p=0.002)和居住在开罗的患者(p=0.033)在基线时报告较高的SS。基线时MOS-SSS平均评分为64.4(±24.8)分,治疗后为76.4(±22.3)分;p < 0.001。在大多数患者亚组中,SS的增加是一致的,但文盲患者比受过教育的患者(p=0.033),从事手工工作的患者比家庭主妇(p=0.04),居住在上埃及的患者比开罗居民(p=0.029)更为突出。结论:大多数埃及乳腺癌患者在确诊后都有良好的支持性环境。应特别注意在此期间没有足够SS的高危群体。

Introduction: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is the second most common cause of death among patients with breast cancer. In particular, VTE accounted for 20% of deaths after radical mastectomy. Owing to the devastating sequels associated with VTE and its financial impact, the current study was conducted to reveal the possible risk factors of VTE after breast cancer surgeries. Materials and Methods: Extensive systematic literature review, from inception up to 1 October 2019, was performed throughout 12 databases to reveal all clinical studies reported the risk factors of VTE after breast cancer surgeries. Pooled analysis was implemented using Review Manager. Results: This meta-analysis included 8 articles that encompassed an overall 166929 patients. There was no statistically significant difference between patients developed VTE and those not developed such condition regarding Caprini total score (SMD0.5;95%CI-0.58,1.57;P=0.36). Subsequently, patients developed VTE were elder than patients did not develop such complications (MD1.21;95%CI 1.06,1.35;P<0.001). Patients had pre-operative diabetes mellitus (OR 0.69;95%CI0.49,0.98;P=0.04) or pulmonary disease (OR1.43;95%CI1.09,1.88;P=0.01) were more susceptible to experience post-operative VTE, relative to other patients. Besides that, post-operative hospitalization stays were significantly longer among patients experienced VTE, relative to patients did not experience such complications (MD 2.6;95%CI 2.54,2.66;P<0.001). Patients subjected to radical mastectomy and primary reconstruction were more vulnerable to have VTE post-operatively (OR 2.66;95%CI 1.90,3.71;P<0.001). Similarly, patients received concurrent venous catheterization were more susceptible to develop VTE post-operatively (OR 2.13;95%CI 1.22,3.73;P<0.00=0.008). On the contrary, post-operative hormonal therapy, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy were not statistically significant risk factors of VTE after breast cancer surgeries. Conclusions: Elderly patients and those with pre-operative diabetes mellitus or pulmonary diseases and patients subordinated to primary reconstruction after radical mastectomy were more susceptible to develop VTE. Understanding these factors will aid health care providers to optimize the optimal preventive strategies of VTE after breast cancer surgeries.
简介:静脉血栓栓塞(VTE)是乳腺癌患者死亡的第二大常见原因。特别是,静脉血栓栓塞占根治性乳房切除术后死亡的20%。由于静脉血栓栓塞的后遗症及其经济影响,本研究旨在揭示乳腺癌手术后静脉血栓栓塞的可能危险因素。材料和方法:从成立到2019年10月1日,对12个数据库进行了广泛的系统文献综述,以揭示所有报告乳腺癌手术后静脉血栓栓塞危险因素的临床研究。合并分析是使用Review Manager实现的。结果:本荟萃分析纳入8篇文章,共纳入166929例患者。发生静脉血栓栓塞患者与未发生静脉血栓栓塞患者的capriti总分差异无统计学意义(SMD0.5;95%CI-0.58,1.57;P=0.36)。随后,发生静脉血栓栓塞的患者比未发生此类并发症的患者年龄大(MD1.21;95%CI 1.06,1.35;P<0.001)。术前有糖尿病(OR 0.69;95%CI0.49,0.98;P=0.04)或肺部疾病(OR1.43;95%CI1.09,1.88;P=0.01)的患者较其他患者更易发生静脉血栓栓塞。此外,发生静脉血栓栓塞的患者术后住院时间明显长于未发生此类并发症的患者(MD为2.6;95%CI为2.54,2.66;P<0.001)。接受根治性乳房切除术和初次重建的患者术后更容易发生静脉血栓栓塞(OR 2.66;95%CI 1.90,3.71;P<0.001)。同样,同时静脉置管的患者术后更容易发生静脉血栓栓塞(OR 2.13;95%CI 1.22,3.73;P<0.00=0.008)。相反,术后激素治疗、放疗、化疗均不是乳腺癌术后静脉血栓栓塞的危险因素。结论:老年患者、术前有糖尿病或肺部疾病的患者及乳房根治术后初级重建患者更容易发生静脉血栓栓塞。了解这些因素将有助于卫生保健提供者优化乳腺癌手术后静脉血栓栓塞的最佳预防策略。

Introduction: Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), defined as lacking the expression of estrogen receptor alpha (ERα), progesterone receptor and human epidermal growth factor receptor is an aggressive breast cancer subtype for which there is a need to identify new therapeutic targets. About 50-80% of TNBC express Estrogen Receptor Beta (ERβ). Given its slight differences from ERα in terms of structure, signaling and its anti-proliferative effects on breast cancer cells, ERβ may be a possible therapeutic target. This study sought to assess the presence of ERβ and its correlation with the clinico-pathological features among the Egyptian females with TNBC. Material and Methods: The study was a retrospective analysis. The following data was retrieved from patient’s files and recorded: age, tumor size, lymph nodes metastasis, and stage. Paraffin blocks for patients confirmed by IHC to be TNBC were subjected to immunohistochemical staining for ERβ, CK5/6, and Ki 67. Results: ERβ was positive in 80% of cases (n=32/40). ERβ significantly correlated with Age (rs = -0.473, P = 0.002, n = 40), Tumor size (rs = -0.471, P = 0.007, n = 40), Lymph nodes (rs = -0.365, P = 0.021, n =40), and Stage (rs = -0.468, P = 0.002, n = 40). There was no correlation between ERβ with Ki-67 and CK5/6 a marker of the basal phenotype. All 8 patients without ERβ had an aggressive disease. 4 received neoadjuvant chemotherapy with minimum or no pathologic complete response in the axillary lymph nodes, 2 presented with upfront metastatic disease while the other 2 were cases of local recurrence with a change in the molecular phenotype of the tumor from luminal subtype to TNBC. Conclusion: This study shows ERβ expression occurs in TNBC. It may have the potential to become a therapeutic target for TNBC.
简介:三阴性乳腺癌(TNBC)被定义为缺乏雌激素受体α (ERα)、孕激素受体和人表皮生长因子受体的表达,是一种侵袭性乳腺癌亚型,需要寻找新的治疗靶点。约50-80%的TNBC表达雌激素受体β (ERβ)。鉴于ERβ在结构、信号传导和对乳腺癌细胞的抗增殖作用方面与ERα略有不同,ERβ可能是一个可能的治疗靶点。本研究旨在评估埃及女性TNBC患者中ERβ的存在及其与临床病理特征的相关性。材料与方法:本研究为回顾性分析。以下数据从患者档案中检索并记录:年龄、肿瘤大小、淋巴结转移和分期。对经免疫组化证实为TNBC的患者石蜡块进行ERβ、CK5/6和Ki 67的免疫组化染色。结果:80%的病例ERβ阳性(n=32/40)。ERβ与年龄(rs = -0.473, P = 0.002, n =40)、肿瘤大小(rs = -0.471, P = 0.007, n =40)、淋巴结(rs = -0.365, P = 0.021, n =40)、分期(rs = -0.468, P = 0.002, n =40)显著相关。ERβ与Ki-67和基础表型标志物CK5/6之间没有相关性。8例无ERβ的患者均为侵袭性疾病。4例接受新辅助化疗,腋窝淋巴结病理完全缓解最小或无完全缓解,2例出现前期转移性疾病,另外2例局部复发,肿瘤分子表型从腔内亚型转变为TNBC。结论:ERβ在TNBC中有表达。它可能有潜力成为TNBC的治疗靶点。

Background: Non-epithelial cancers of the ovary are uncommon. They include malignancies of germ cell origin, sex cord-stromal cell origin, metastatic carcinomas to the ovary, and a variety of extremely rare ovarian cancers, such as sarcomas and lipoid cell tumors. Nonepithelial malignancies account for about 10% of all ovarian cancers. Objective: To review the management of Non-epithelial ovarian cancer in the NCI Cairo university during a period of 5 years (2005 till 2010). Material and Methods: Retrospective study including 114 patients who were diagnosed and treated with Non-epithelial ovarian cancer (2005 to 2010). Data were collected from the biostatistics and cancer epidemiology department. Results: Out of 114 patients; 25(21.9%) were benign and 25 (21.9%) were borderline malignant; 55 (48.2%) were malignant and 9 (7.89%) of them were unpredicted biologic behavior; the median age of the study population was 49.7 years (range 14_83years). Panhysterectomy was done in 77(67.5%) of the patients; ovariectomy and debulking were done in 22(19.3%; salpingooophorectomy was done in 10(8.8%) 0f patients and cystectomy was done in 3(2.6%) and 2 cases underwent biopsy. Conclusion: Sex cord-stromal tumors and malignant germ cell tumors are the most common nonepithelial ovarian cancers. These tumors often, but not always, present with the sequelae of overproduction of either androgens or estrogens. It is important to diagnose these masses early, as overall prognosis is typically very good for early stage disease in all histological subtypes. Both sex cord-stromal tumors and malignant germ cell tumors of the ovary are treated with initial surgical resection. Fertility sparing surgery can be considered for both sex cord-stromal and malignant germ cell tumors of the ovary. Depending on the pathological diagnosis and disease stage, postoperative management consists of either expectant management or adjuvant chemotherapy. It is recommended that all patients with nonepithelial ovarian cancer be monitored for evidence of disease recurrence on a standardized schedule.
背景:卵巢的非上皮性癌症并不常见。它们包括生殖细胞来源的恶性肿瘤,性索间质细胞来源的恶性肿瘤,卵巢转移性癌,以及各种极其罕见的卵巢癌,如肉瘤和脂质细胞瘤。非上皮性恶性肿瘤约占所有卵巢癌的10%。目的:回顾开罗大学NCI 5年来(2005 - 2010年)非上皮性卵巢癌的治疗情况。材料和方法:回顾性研究包括2005 - 2010年诊断和治疗的114例非上皮性卵巢癌患者。数据来自生物统计和癌症流行病学部门。结果:114例患者中;良性25例(21.9%),交界性恶性25例(21.9%);恶性肿瘤55例(48.2%),不可预测的生物学行为9例(7.89%);研究人群的中位年龄为49.7岁(范围14 ~ 83岁)。全子宫切除术77例(67.5%);22例(19.3%;10例(8.8%)患者行输卵管卵巢切除术,3例(2.6%)患者行膀胱切除术,2例行活检。结论:性索间质瘤和恶性生殖细胞瘤是卵巢癌中最常见的非上皮性肿瘤。这些肿瘤通常(但不总是)伴有雄激素或雌激素分泌过多的后遗症。早期诊断这些肿块很重要,因为在所有组织学亚型中,早期疾病的总体预后通常非常好。卵巢性索间质瘤和恶性生殖细胞瘤均采用手术切除治疗。卵巢性索间质瘤和恶性生殖细胞瘤均可考虑保留生育能力的手术。根据病理诊断和疾病分期,术后治疗包括预期治疗或辅助化疗。建议所有的非上皮性卵巢癌患者在标准化的时间表上监测疾病复发的证据。

Introduction: Endometrial adenocarcinoma is characterized by a good prognosis. However, the disease response shows a significant heterogeneity. Treatment of endometrial cancer (EC) is still based on clinico-pathological parameters, which have limited role in risk stratification. There is a need for more determinant markers, such as L1 Cell Adhesion Molecule (L1CAM), to identify patients at higher risk of relapse and tailor a more convenient treatment. L1CAM has a capacity to enhance cell motility and promote tumor invasion in different malignancies. In Egypt, the incidence rate of EC is growing over time. Especially in Elgharbiah governorate (home of this study). L1CAM expression and Ki-67 was reported and compared with other clinico-pathological criteria. Method: Seventy-six female patients of endometrial carcinomas were involved in this prospective study. The patients were treated and followed up at Tanta University Hospitals in the period between January 2015 to April 2019. L1CAM expression and Ki-67 was detected by immuno-histochemical exam and compared with other clinico-pathological criteria. Survival was assessed and compared by Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank test. Results: Positive L1CAM expression was detected in 17 patients (22.4%) and was significantly correlated with unfavorable prognostic factors such as higher stage and grade (P= 0.021 and P =0.001 respectively), lympo-vascular invasion (P <0.001), non-endometroid type (P <0.027) and Ki-67 (P= 0.003). Univariate analysis revealed that: positive L1CAM; higher tumor grade; high stage; and non-endometrioid type were significantly associated with shorter disease-free survival (DFS) but no significant correlation was detected between Ki-67 and DFS. In multivariate analysis, positive L1CAM remained statistically significant with DFS [P =0.045; 95%CI (1.028:11.17); HR=3.38]. Conclusion: Our study indicates that L1CAM expression and Ki-67 are significantly associated with poor tumor characteristics. L1CAM is significantly associated with shorter disease-free survival and may be a helpful tool as a part of a simple clinical molecular classification for EC.
简介:子宫内膜腺癌的特点是预后良好。然而,疾病反应表现出显著的异质性。子宫内膜癌(EC)的治疗仍然基于临床病理参数,其在风险分层中的作用有限。需要更多的决定性标志物,如L1细胞粘附分子(L1 Cell Adhesion Molecule, L1CAM),来识别复发风险较高的患者,并制定更方便的治疗方案。在不同的恶性肿瘤中,L1CAM具有增强细胞运动和促进肿瘤侵袭的能力。在埃及,EC的发病率随着时间的推移而增长。特别是在Elgharbiah省(本研究的所在地)。报告L1CAM表达和Ki-67,并与其他临床病理标准进行比较。方法:对76例女性子宫内膜癌患者进行前瞻性研究。患者于2015年1月至2019年4月期间在坦塔大学医院接受治疗和随访。采用免疫组化检查检测L1CAM和Ki-67的表达,并与其他临床病理标准进行比较。生存率采用Kaplan-Meier曲线和log-rank检验进行比较。结果:17例患者(22.4%)检测到L1CAM阳性表达,其与分期、分级较高(P= 0.021、P= 0.001)、淋巴血管侵犯(P <0.001)、非子宫内膜型(P <0.027)、Ki-67 (P= 0.003)等不良预后因素显著相关。单因素分析显示:L1CAM阳性;肿瘤分级高;高阶段;非子宫内膜样型与较短的无病生存期(DFS)显著相关,但Ki-67与DFS之间无显著相关性。多因素分析中,L1CAM阳性与DFS差异有统计学意义[P =0.045;95%可信区间(1.028:11.17);HR = 3.38)。结论:我们的研究表明L1CAM的表达和Ki-67与肿瘤的不良特征有显著的相关性。L1CAM与较短的无病生存期显著相关,可能是一个有用的工具,作为EC简单临床分子分类的一部分。

However, the disease response shows a significant heterogeneity. Treatment of endometrial cancer (EC) is still based on clinico-pathological parameters, which have limited role in risk stratification. There is a need for more determinant markers, such as L1 Cell Adhesion Molecule (L1CAM), to identify patients at higher risk of relapse and tailor a more convenient treatment. L1CAM has a capacity to enhance cell motility and promote tumor invasion in different malignancies. In Egypt, the incidence rate of EC is growing over time. Especially in Elgharbiah governorate (home of this study). L1CAM expression and Ki-67 was reported and compared with other clinico-pathological criteria. Method: Seventy-six female patients of endometrial carcinomas were involved in this prospective study. The patients were treated and followed up at Tanta University Hospitals in the period between January 2015 to April 2019. L1CAM expression and Ki-67 was detected by immuno-histochemical exam and compared with other clinico-pathological criteria. Survival was assessed and compared by Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank test. Results: Positive L1CAM expression was detected in 17 patients (22.4%) and was significantly correlated with unfavorable prognostic factors such as higher stage and grade (P= 0.021 and P =0.001 respectively), lympo-vascular invasion (P <0.001), non-endometroid type (P <0.027) and Ki-67 (P= 0.003). Univariate analysis revealed that: positive L1CAM; higher tumor grade; high stage; and non-endometrioid type were significantly associated with shorter disease-free survival (DFS) but no significant correlation was detected between Ki-67 and DFS. In multivariate analysis, positive L1CAM remained statistically significant with DFS [P =0.045; 95%CI (1.028:11.17); HR=3.38].

Background: Patients with intestinal cancer (colorectal, appendiceal, and small bowel) with peritoneal metastases (PM) have a poor prognosis. We assessed whether pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) together with systemic chemotherapy is an effective treatment option for these entities in palliative intent. Methods: Between November 2015 and February 2018, prospective data registry was performed (NCT03100708). Thirteen patients with intestinal cancer (median age 61 years [range 49–77]) underwent 26 PIPAC procedures with a median number of 2 interventions per patient (range 1–6). A chemoaerosol consisting of cisplatin/doxorubicin was administered during standard laparoscopy. Results: The median peritoneal carcinomatosis index according to Sugarbaker before the first PIPAC was 14 (range 2–27), and the median ascites volume was 10 mL (range 0–6300 mL). Six patients who received 2 or more PIPAC procedures had decreased and stable ascites volumes, while only 1 patient displayed increased ascites. The median overall survival was 303 days (range 30–490) after the first PIPAC procedure. Conclusions: PIPAC offers a novel treatment option for patients with PM. Our data show that PIPAC is safe and well-tolerated. Ascites production can be controlled by PIPAC in patients with intestinal cancer. Further studies are required to document the significance of PIPAC within palliative therapy concepts. Trial registration: NCT03100708
背景:肠癌(结直肠癌、阑尾癌和小肠癌)伴腹膜转移(PM)的患者预后较差。我们评估了加压腹腔内气溶胶化疗(PIPAC)与全身化疗是否为缓解这些实体的有效治疗选择。方法:于2015年11月至2018年2月进行前瞻性数据注册(NCT03100708)。13例肠癌患者(中位年龄61岁[范围49-77])接受了26次PIPAC手术,每位患者中位干预次数为2次(范围1-6)。在标准腹腔镜检查期间给予顺铂/阿霉素组成的化学气雾剂。结果:第一次PIPAC术前Sugarbaker腹膜癌中位指数为14(范围2-27),腹水中位容积为10 mL(范围0-6300 mL)。6例接受2次或2次以上PIPAC手术的患者腹水容量减少并稳定,而只有1例患者腹水增加。第一次PIPAC手术后的中位总生存期为303天(范围30-490天)。结论:PIPAC为PM患者提供了一种新的治疗选择。我们的数据显示PIPAC是安全且耐受性良好的。PIPAC可控制肠癌患者腹水的产生。需要进一步的研究来证明PIPAC在姑息治疗概念中的重要性。试验注册:NCT03100708
