RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To determine if cancer patients experience variability in incidence or management of emergency general surgery (EGS) conditions compared to non-cancer patients. BACKGROUND: The true frequency, and natural history of EGS conditions among cancer patients has not been characterized. METHODS: We utilized SEER-Medicare data from January 2006-December 2015 to compare patients with breast, prostate, and lung cancer to a non-cancer cohort. Patients were followed from date of cancer diagnosis, or an index date for non-cancer patients, to the development of an EGS condition, death or last follow up. We assessed the cumulative incidence of EGS conditions over time, and fit multivariable Cox proportional hazards models to evaluate the impact of time-dependent surgical intervention on mortality. RESULTS: We identified 322,756 patients with breast (N=82,147), lung (N=128,618), and prostate cancer (N=111,991) and 210,429 non-cancer patients.. Cancer patients had a higher incidence of an EGS condition within the first year after diagnosis (4.8% vs. 3.2%), with lung (6.8%) and breast cancer (4.0%) showing consistent rends. Cancer patients were less likely to undergo surgery for (13% vs. 14%, P=0.005), though this varied by cancer type and EGS conditions. Patients with breast (HR 1.27, 95%CI 1.17-1.39) and lung cancer (HR 3.27, 95%CI 3.07-3.48) were more likely to die within 30-days of an EGS diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS: Cancer patients experience a higher incidence of EGS conditions within the first year following diagnosis, but are less likely to undergo surgery. Future research is needed to explore the interplay between EGS conditions, their management, and receipt of intended oncologic therapy, and resulting outcomes.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To examine genomic correlates of conversion to resection (CTR and overall survival (OS) in patients with initially unresectable colorectal liver metastasis (IU-CRLM) treated with combination systemic and hepatic artery infusion (HAI) chemotherapy. BACKGROUND: In patients presenting with IU-CRLM, combination systemic and HAI chemotherapy enables CTR with associated long-term OS in a subset of patients. Genomic correlates of CTR and OS in IU-CRLM have not been previously explored. METHODS: Specimens from IU-CRLM patients receiving systemic/HAI chemotherapy (2003-2017) were submitted for next-generation sequencing. Fisher Exact test assessed associations with CTR, and Kaplan-Meier/Cox methods assessed associations with OS from HAI initiation. RESULTS: Of 128 IU-CRLM patients, 51 (40%) underwent CTR at median 6 months (range: 3-35) from HAI initiation. CTR and persistently unresectable cohorts differed significantly in preoperative systemic chemotherapy exposure, node-positive primary status, and size of largest liver metastasis. Median and 5-year OS was 66 months and 51%. CTR was associated with prolonged survival (time-dependent HR 0.23,95% CI: 0.12-0.46, P < 0.001). The most frequently altered genes were APC (81%), TP53 (77%), and KRAS (37%). Oncogenic mutations in SOX9 and BRAF were associated with CTR. BRAF mutations, any RAS pathway alterations, and co-altered RAS/RAF-TP53 mutations wereassociated with worse survival. Classification and regression tree analysis defined prognostically relevant clusters of genomic risk to reveal co-altered RAS/RAF-TP53 as the highest risk subgroup. Co-altered RAS/RAF-TP53 remained independently associated with worse survival (HR 2.52, 95% CI: 1.37-4.64, P = 0.003) after controlling for CTR, number of liver metastases, and preoperative extrahepatic disease. CONCLUSIONS: Distinct genomic profiles are associated with CTR and survival in patients with IU-CRLM treated with HAI/systemic chemotherapy. Presence of SOX9, BRAF , and co-altered RAS/RAF- TP53 mutations are promising biomarkers that, when validated in larger datasets, may impact treatment of IU-CRLM patients.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Prospective evaluation of 2 clinical-molecular models in patients with unknown pathology who underwent endoscopic ultrasound with fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) for a cystic lesion of the pancreas. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Preoperative prediction of histologic subtype (mucinous vs nonmucinous) and grade of dysplasia in patients with pancreatic cystic neoplasms is challenging. Our group has previously published 2 clinical-molecular nomograms for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) that incorporated both clinical/radiographic features and cyst fluid protein markers (sFASL, CA72-4, MMP9, IL-4). METHODS: This multiinstitutional study enrolled patients who underwent EUS-FNA for a cystic lesion of the pancreas. Treatment recommendations regarding resection were based on standard clinical, radiographic, and endoscopic features. Predicted probabilities of high-risk IPMN (high-grade dysplasia/invasive cancer) were calculated using the previously developed clinical-molecular nomograms. RESULTS: Cyst fluid was obtained from 100 patients who underwent diagnostic EUS-FNA. Within this group there were 35 patients who underwent resection, and 65 were monitored radiographically. Within the group that underwent resection, 26 had low-risk IPMN or benign non-IPMN lesions, and 9 had high-risk IPMN. Within the surveillance group, no patient progressed to resection or developed cancer after a median follow-up of 12months (range: 0.5-38). Using the clinical/radiographic nomogram alone, 2 out of 9 patients with high-risk IPMN had a predicted probability >0.5. In the clinical-molecular models, 6 of 9 patients in model 1, and 6 of 9 in model 2, had scores >0.5. CONCLUSIONS: This prospective study of patients with unknown cyst pathology further demonstrates the importance of cyst fluid protein analysis in the preoperative identification of patients with high-risk IPMN. Longer follow-up is necessary to determine if this model will be useful in clinical practice.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Genetic alterations in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) are increasingly well characterized, but their impact on outcome and prognosis remains unknown. APPROACH AND RESULTS: This bi-institutional study of patients with confirmed iCCA (n = 412) used targeted next-generation sequencing of primary tumors to define associations among genetic alterations, clinicopathological variables, and outcome. The most common oncogenic alterations were isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1; 20%), AT-rich interactive domain-containing protein 1A (20%), tumor protein P53 (TP53; 17%), cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (CDKN2A; 15%), breast cancer 1-associated protein 1 (15%), FGFR2 (15%), polybromo 1 (12%), and KRAS (10%). IDH1/2 mutations (mut) were mutually exclusive with FGFR2 fusions, but neither was associated with outcome. For all patients, TP53 (P < 0.0001), KRAS (P = 0.0001), and CDKN2A (P < 0.0001) alterations predicted worse overall survival (OS). These high-risk alterations were enriched in advanced disease but adversely impacted survival across all stages, even when controlling for known correlates of outcome (multifocal disease, lymph node involvement, bile duct type, periductal infiltration). In resected patients (n = 209), TP53mut (HR, 1.82; 95% CI, 1.08-3.06; P = 0.03) and CDKN2A deletions (del; HR, 3.40; 95% CI, 1.95-5.94; P < 0.001) independently predicted shorter OS, as did high-risk clinical variables (multifocal liver disease [P < 0.001]; regional lymph node metastases [P < 0.001]), whereas KRASmut (HR, 1.69; 95% CI, 0.97-2.93; P = 0.06) trended toward statistical significance. The presence of both or neither high-risk clinical or genetic factors represented outcome extremes (median OS, 18.3 vs. 74.2 months; P < 0.001), with high-risk genetic alterations alone (median OS, 38.6 months; 95% CI, 28.8-73.5) or high-risk clinical variables alone (median OS, 37.0 months; 95% CI, 27.6-not available) associated with intermediate outcome. TP53mut, KRASmut, and CDKN2Adel similarly predicted worse outcome in patients with unresectable iCCA. CDKN2Adel tumors with high-risk clinical features were notable for limited survival and no benefit of resection over chemotherapy. CONCLUSIONS: TP53, KRAS, and CDKN2A alterations were independent prognostic factors in iCCA when controlling for clinical and pathologic variables, disease stage, and treatment. Because genetic profiling can be integrated into pretreatment therapeutic decision-making, combining clinical variables with targeted tumor sequencing may identify patient subgroups with poor outcome irrespective of treatment strategy.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Despite curative hepatectomy, most colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) patients relapse locally within 2 years. Genomic predictors for hepatic recurrence are poorly understood. This study was designed to identify genomic signatures for recurrence in resected CRLM patients treated with adjuvant hepatic artery infusion (HAI) and/or systemic (SYS) chemotherapy. METHODS: Patients undergoing curative hepatectomy and adjuvant HAI+SYS or SYS between January 2000 and October 2017 with next-generation sequencing data were catalogued. Gene and signaling-level alterations were checked for association with time to any (AR), liver (LR), and extrahepatic recurrence (ER) by using Kaplan-Meier analysis. RESULTS: Of 172 receiving HAI+SYS, 100 patients recurred, with 69 LR and 83 ER. Five- and ten-year LR-free rates were 57% (95% confidence interval [CI] 48-65%) and 51% (95% CI 41-60%), respectively. Five- and 10-year ER-free, rates were 51% (95% CI 43-58%) and 45% (95% CI 36-54%), respectively. More ER was observed with tumors harboring altered KRAS (38% [95% CI 25-50%] vs. 63% [95% CI 53-71%], p-adj = 0.003) and RAS/RAF (36% [95% CI 25-48%] vs. 66% [95% CI 56-74%], p-adj < 0.001) than wild-type. Co-altered RAS/RAF-TP53 was associated with worse AR (26% [95% CI 14-40%] vs. 48% [95% CI 39-57%], p-unadj < 0.001), ER (30% [95% CI 17-45%] vs. 62% [95% CI 53-70%], p-unadj < 0.001), and LR rate (40% [95% CI 24-57%] vs. 70% [95% CI 60-77%], p-unadj = 0.002). On multivariable analysis, controlling for clinical risk score, ablation, margin status, and primary T-stage, co-altered RAS/RAF-TP53 was associated with increased risk for AR (HR = 2.14, 95% CI 1.38-3.31, p-unadj < 0.001), LR (HR = 1.79, 95% CI 1.06-3.02, p-unadj = 0.029), and ER (HR = 2.81, 95% CI 1.78-4.44, p-unadj < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Altered KRAS, RAS/RAF, and RAS/RAF-TP53 associated with earlier local and distant recurrence in resected CRLM patients receiving adjuvant HAI+SYS. Co-altered RAS/RAF-TP53 was a novel predictor of LR warranting investigation of whether genomic cooperativity is associated with this relapsing phenotype. Systemic therapies tailored to high-risk tumor biology are needed to reduce distant relapse after hepatectomy.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: There is limited information about the long-term outcomes and patterns of progression in patients who have unresectable, liver-confined hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with complete response (CR) to transarterial embolization and do not undergo resection or transplantation (LT). METHODS: A retrospective review analyzed participants in a randomized trial comparing hepatic artery embolization (HAE) and drug-eluting bead transarterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) with doxorubicin who had CR according to modified response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (mRECIST). The overall survival (OS), incidence and patterns of progression, and factors associated with progression were assessed. RESULTS: Of the 101 patients in the trial, 37 with CR were included in this study. This cohort had 17 patients treated with HAE (46 %), and 20 patients managed with DEB-TACE (54 %). The median age was 67 years (range, 42-82 years). Most of the cohort were male (86.5 %) and Caucasian (78 %). The median pre-treatment Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score was 10, and 70 % of the cohort had Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage B or C. The median follow-up period was 49 months (95 % confidence interval [CI], 9-108 months), and the median OS was 25 months (95 % CI, 18.9-30.9 months). The 3- and 5-year survival rates were respectively 31 % (95 % CI, 16.7-45.9 %) and 18 % (95 % CI, 6.8-32.1 %). The 1- and 2-year cumulative incidences of progression were respectively 76 % (95 % CI, 57.7-86.8 %) and 92 % (95 % CI, 74.5-97.6 %). The most common first site of progression was the previously treated hepatic site or local site (32 %, 12/37). The 3-year cumulative incidence of progression was 65 % (95 % CI, 46.4-78.4 %) for the local site. CONCLUSION: Patients with advanced-stage HCC and CR to embolization do not have durable responses and experience inevitable disease progression. Most patients with progression have liver-confined disease and should be evaluated for additional consolidative treatments.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Patients with locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) receive induction chemotherapy with or without radiation, with the goal of R0 resection and improving survival. Herein, we evaluate the outcomes of patients who presented with Stage III PDAC and received induction FOLFIRINOX. METHODS: An institutional database was queried for consecutive patients who received induction FOLFIRINOX for locally unresectable PDAC between 2010 and 2016. Clinical and radiographic parameters were assessed pre- and posttreatment, and clinical outcomes were evaluated. RESULTS: There were 200 patients who met the inclusion criteria. The median number of cycles of FOLFIRINOX was 8, 70% (n = 140) received radiation, and 18% (n = 36) underwent resection. Median overall survival (OS) in resected patients was 36 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 24-56), and this group had improved OS compared to patients that did not undergo resection (hazard ratio (95% CI): 0.41 (0.26-0.64), p < 0.001). Patients (n = 112) who did not progress on induction therapy but remained unresectable had a median OS of 23.9 months (95% CI: 21.1-25.4). CONCLUSION: Nearly 20% of patients with locally advanced PDAC responded sufficiently to induction FOLFIRINOX to undergo resection, which was associated with improved OS compared to patients that did not undergo resection. Patients with stable disease who remain unresectable represent a group of patients with locally advanced PDAC who may benefit from optimization of additional nonoperative treatment.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the influence of consensus guidelines on the management of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) and the subsequent changes in pathologic outcomes. BACKGROUND: Over time, multiple guidelines have been developed to identify high-risk IPMN. We hypothesized that the development and implementation of guidelines should have increased the percentage of resected IPMN with high-risk disease. METHODS: Memorial Sloan-Kettering (MSK), Johns Hopkins (JH), and Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) databases were queried for resected IPMN (2000-2015). Patients were categorized into main-duct (MD-IPMN) versus branch-duct (BD-IPMN). Guideline-specific radiographic/endoscopic features were recorded. High-risk disease was defined as high-grade dysplasia/carcinoma. Fisher's exact test was used to detect differences between institutions. Logistic regression evaluated differences between time-points [preguidelines (pre-GL, before 2006), Sendai (SCG, 2006-2012), Fukuoka (FCG, after 2012)]. RESULTS: The study included 1210 patients. The percentage of BD-IPMN with ≥1 high-risk radiographic feature differed between centers (MSK 69%, JH 60%, MGH 45%; P < 0.001). In MD-IPMN cohort, the presence of radiographic features such as solid component and main pancreatic duct diameter ≥10 mm also differed (solid component: MSK 38%, JH 30%, MGH 18%; P < 0.001; duct ≥10 mm: MSK 49%, JH 32%, MGH 44%; P < 0.001). The percentage of high-risk disease on pathology, however, was similar between institutions (BD-IPMN: P = 0.36, MD-IPMN: P = 0.48). During the study period, the percentage of BD-IPMN resected with ≥1 high-risk feature increased (52% pre-GL vs 67% FCG; P = 0.005), whereas the percentage of high-risk disease decreased (pre-GL vs FCG: 30% vs 20%). For MD-IPMN, there was not a clear trend towards guideline adherence, and the rate of high-risk disease was similar over the time (pre-GL vs FCG: 69% vs 67%; P = 0.63). CONCLUSION: Surgical management of IPMN based on radiographic criteria is variable between institutions, with similar percentages of high-risk disease. Over the 15-year study period, the rate of BD-IPMN resected with high-risk radiographic features increased; however, the rate of high-risk disease decreased. Better predictors are needed.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is an integral component of T4 breast cancer (BCa) treatment. We compared response to NAC for T4 BCa in the U.S. and Nigeria to direct future interventions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cross-sectional retrospective analysis included all patients with non-metastatic T4 BCa treated from 2010 to 2016 at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (New York, New York) and Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex (Ile Ife, Nigeria). Pathologic complete response (pCR) and survival were compared and factors contributing to disparities evaluated. RESULTS: Three hundred and eight patients met inclusion criteria: 157 (51%) in the U.S. and 151 (49%) in Nigeria. All U.S. patients received NAC and surgery compared with 93 (62%) Nigerian patients. Fifty-six out of ninety-three (60%) Nigerian patients completed their prescribed course of NAC. In Nigeria, older age and higher socioeconomic status were associated with treatment receipt. Fewer patients in Nigeria had immunohistochemistry performed (100% U.S. vs. 18% Nigeria). Of those with available receptor subtype, 18% (28/157) of U.S. patients were triple negative versus 39% (9/23) of Nigerian patients. Overall pCR was seen in 27% (42/155) of U.S. patients and 5% (4/76) of Nigerian patients. Five-year survival was significantly shorter in Nigeria versus the U.S. (61% vs. 72%). However, among the subset of patients who received multimodality therapy, including NAC and surgery with curative intent, 5-year survival (67% vs. 72%) and 5-year recurrence-free survival (48% vs. 61%) did not significantly differ between countries. CONCLUSION: Addressing health system, socioeconomic, and psychosocial barriers is necessary for administration of complete NAC to improve BCa outcomes in Nigeria. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: This cross-sectional retrospective analysis of patients with T4 breast cancer in Nigeria and the U.S. found a significant difference in pathologic complete response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (5% Nigeria vs. 27% U.S.). Five-year survival was shorter in Nigeria, but in patients receiving multimodality treatment, including neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery with curative intent, 5-year overall and recurrence-free survival did not differ between countries. Capacity-building efforts in Nigeria should focus on access to pathology services to direct systemic therapy and promoting receipt of complete chemotherapy to improve outcomes.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: RAS mutations are prognostic for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). We investigated clinical, pathologic, and survival differences based on RAS exon for patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). METHODS: This retrospective, single-center study included patients with R0/R1 resection of CRLM from 1992 to 2016. Patients with unresected extrahepatic disease or liver-first resection were excluded. Overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival were assessed and stratified by mutation status and location. Fisher's exact test, Wilcoxon rank-sum test, and log-rank test were used, where appropriate. RESULTS: A total of 938 mCRC patients were identified with median age of 57 (range 19-91). Of the 445 patients with KRAS mutations, 407 (91%) had a mutation in exon 2, 14 (3%) exon 3, and 24 (5%) exon 4. Median OS was 71.4 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 66.1-76.5). Patients with KRAS mutations had worse OS compared with KRAS wild-type patients (median 55.5 vs. 91.3 months, p < 0.001). While there was no significant difference in OS based on the exon mutated (p = 0.12), 5-year OS was higher for patients with exon 4 mutations [68.8% (95% CI 0.45-0.84)] compared with those with mutations in exon 2 [45.7% (95% CI 0.40-0.51)] or exon 3 [39.1% (95% CI: 0.11-0.68)]. Patients with NRAS mutant tumors also had worse OS compared with NRAS wild-type patients (median 50.9 vs. 73.3 months, p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS: NRAS and KRAS exon 3/4 mutations are present in a minority of mCRC patients. Patients with exon 4 mutant tumors may have a more favorable prognosis, although the difference in oncologic outcomes based on mutated exon appears to be smaller than previously reported.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The American College of Surgeons Oncology Group (ACOSOG) Z0011 trial demonstrated the safety of omitting axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) in T1-T2cN0 patients with fewer than three positive sentinel nodes (SLNs) undergoing breast-conservation therapy. While microscopic extracapsular extension (mECE) > 2 mm is associated with increased nodal burden, the significance of extranodal tumor deposits (ETDs) in the axillary fat is uncertain. METHODS: Consecutive patients with T1-T2cN0 breast cancer undergoing sentinel node biopsy and ALND for SLN metastases from January 2010 to December 2018 were identified. ETDs were defined as intravascular tumor emboli or metastatic deposits in the axillary fat. Clinicopathologic characteristics and nodal burden were compared by ETD status. RESULTS: Among 1114 patients, 113 (10%) had ETDs: 81 (72%) were intravascular tumor emboli and 32 (28%) were soft tissue deposits. Patients with ETDs had larger tumors (median 2.2 vs. 2.1 cm; p = 0.033) and more often had mECE (83% vs. 44%; p < 0.001). On univariable analysis, presence of ETDs (odds ratio [OR] 9.66, 95% confidence interval [CI] 6.36-14.68), larger tumors (OR 1.47, 95% CI 1.25-1.72), and mECE (OR 10.73, 95% CI 6.86-16.78) were associated with four or more additional positive non-SLNs (NSLNs; all p < 0.001). On multivariable analysis, ETDs remained associated with four or more positive NSLNs (OR 5.67, 95% CI 3.53-9.08; p < 0.001). ETDs were strongly associated with four or more positive NSLNs (OR 7.15, 95% CI 4.04-12.67) among patients with one to two positive SLNs (n = 925). CONCLUSIONS: Among T1-T2cN0 patients with SLN metastases, ETDs are strongly associated with four or more positive NSLNs at ALND. Even among those who may otherwise meet the criteria for omission of ALND, the presence of ETDs in axillary fat warrants consideration of ALND.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: We evaluated the outcomes of surgery with or without postoperative radiation therapy (PORT) in the management of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). METHODS: From two tertiary cancer centers, 297 consecutive patients with MTC treated with PORT (n = 46) between 1990 and 2016 or surgery alone (n = 251) between 2000 and 2016 were reviewed. RESULTS: Ten-year cumulative incidences of locoregional and distant failure were 30.2% and 24.9% in the surgery cohort, and 16.9% and 55.2% in the PORT cohort. In the surgery alone cohort, T4 disease, extrathyroidal extension, N1 disease, extranodal extension (ENE), and residual disease after surgery were associated with local failure. The PORT cohort had significantly higher proportions of patients with T4 disease, N1 disease, ENE, and residual disease. CONCLUSIONS: High-risk clinical features can help identify patients with MTC at high-risk for local failure after surgery alone. Patients with high-risk clinical features had effective locoregional control after PORT.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The objective of this study was to evaluate the short- and long-term outcomes of adult patients with solid tumors receiving chemotherapy in the intensive care unit (ICU). METHODS: This was a retrospective single-center study comparing the outcomes of patients with solid tumors who received chemotherapy in the ICU with a matched cohort of ICU patients (by age, sex, and tumor type) who did not receive chemotherapy. Conditional logistic regression and shared frailty Cox regression were used to assess short-term (ICU and hospital) mortality and death by 12-month post-hospital discharge, respectively. RESULTS: Seventy-three patients with solid tumors who received chemotherapy in the ICU were successfully matched. The most common solid tumors included thoracic (30%), genitourinary (26%), and breast (16%). The ICU, hospital, and 12-month (post discharge)  mortality rates of patients who recieved chomtherapy in the ICU were 23%, 36%, and 43%, respectively. When compared to the matched cohort of patients who did not receive chemotherapy, patients who received chemotherapy had a significantly longer length of stay in the ICU (median 7 vs. 4 days, p < 0.001) and hospital (median 15 vs. 11 days, p = 0.011) but similar short-term ICU and hospital mortality rates (23% vs. 18% and 36% vs. 38%, respectively). Patients who received chemotherapy in the ICU were at a lower risk of death by 12 months (HR 0.31, p < 0.001) compared to the matched cohort on multivariable analysis. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with solid tumors who received chemotherapy had increased ICU and hospital length of stay compared to patients who did not. Although short-term mortality did not differ, patients who received chemotherapy in the ICU had improved long-term survival. Our data can inform critical care triage decisions to include patients who are to receive chemotherapy in the ICU.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Although rare in the United States, gallbladder cancer (GBCA) is a common cause of cancer death in some parts of the world. To investigate regional differences in pathogenesis and outcomes for GBCA, tumor mutations were analyzed from a sampling of specimens. METHODS: Primary tumors from patients with GBCA who were treated in Chile, Japan, and the United States between 1999 and 2016 underwent targeted sequencing of known cancer-associated genes. Fisher exact and Kruskal-Wallis tests assessed differences in clinicopathologic and genetic factors. Kaplan-Meier methods evaluated differences in overall survival from the time of surgery between mutations. RESULTS: A total of 81 patients were included. Japanese patients (11 patients) were older (median age, 72 years [range, 54-81 years]) compared with patients from Chile (21 patients; median age, 59 years [range, 32-73 years]) and the United States (49 patients; median age, 66 years [range, 46-87 years]) (P = .002) and had more well-differentiated tumors (46% vs 0% for Chile/United States; P < .001) and fewer gallstone-associated cancers (36% vs 67% for Chile and 69% for the United States; P = .13). Japanese patients had a median mutation burden of 6 (range, 1-23) compared with Chile (median mutation burden, 7 [range, 3-20]) and the United States (median mutation burden, 4 [range, 0-27]) (P = .006). Tumors from Japanese patients lacked AT-rich interaction domain 1A (ARID1A) and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha (PIK3CA) mutations, whereas Chilean tumors lacked Erb-B2 receptor tyrosine kinase 3 (ERBB3) and AT-rich interaction domain 2 (ARID2) mutations. SMAD family member 4 (SMAD4) was found to be mutated similarly across centers (38% in Chile, 36% in Japan, and 27% in the United States; P = .68) and was univariately associated with worse overall survival (median, 10 months vs 25 months; P = .039). At least one potentially actionable gene was found to be altered in 80% of tumors. CONCLUSIONS: Differences in clinicopathologic variables suggest the possibility of distinct GBCA pathogenesis in Japanese patients, which may be supported by differences in mutation pattern. Among all centers, SMAD4 mutations were detected in approximately one-third of patients and may represent a converging factor associated with worse survival. The majority of patients carried mutations in actionable gene targets, which may inform the design of future trials.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Our objective was to evaluate the outcomes of metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) by disease burden with an emphasis on metastasis-directed therapy (MDT) in patients with limited metastatic disease burden. METHODS: In total, 186 patients who developed metastatic disease after definitive therapy for HNSCC were included. Clinically and radiographically apparent metastases were enumerated. Kaplan-Meier methods were used to estimate survival. Cox regression was used to assess the association between clinical variables. RESULTS: Patients with a single metastasis had a 5-year overall survival (OS) of 35% (95% CI 16-54%) in contrast to patients with multiple metastases with a 5-year OS of 4% (95% CI 2-9%). Thirty patients (16.1%) underwent MDT. On multivariable analysis, oral cavity or sinonasal primary (HR 2.22 95% CI 1.16-4.25, p = 0.015; HR 4.88, 95% CI 1.10-21.70, p = 0.037, respectively) were associated with higher risk of death, whereas receipt of MDT (HR 0.36, 95% CI 0.17-0.74, p = 0.006) was associated with lower hazard of death. Median subsequent metastasis-free survival and 5-year survival after MDT (n = 30) were estimated at 26.4 months (95% CI: 9.8-54.0) and 31%, (95% CI: 15-48%). CONCLUSIONS: HNSCC patients with limited metastatic disease may derive significant benefit from MDT. Prospective trials evaluating MDT in HNSCC are warranted.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: We determined the prognostic importance of a positive posttreatment biopsy after prostate radiotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 382 patients underwent a posttreatment biopsy after external beam radiotherapy for clinically localized prostate cancer. Posttreatment biopsies were classified as positive (prostatic adenocarcinoma without typical radiation induced changes), negative (no evidence of carcinoma) or adenocarcinoma with a severe treatment effect. Median followup in survivors was 9 years. Competing risks regression was used to assess relationships between prognostic predictors and cause specific mortality, distant metastasis and prostate specific antigen failure. RESULTS: The prevalence of positive biopsy, treatment effect and negative biopsy was 30%, 22% and 48%, respectively. Androgen deprivation therapy omission and high risk disease were associated with a 2.6 and 1.8-fold increase, respectively, in the odds of positive posttreatment biopsy. The 15-year PSA relapse rate associated with negative, severe treatment effect and positive posttreatment biopsies was 34%, 36% and 79%, respectively (p <0.001). After controlling for known predictors the risk of distant metastasis was 2.6-fold higher in patients with a positive biopsy (p <0.001) and cause specific mortality was twice as high in patients with a positive biopsy compared to those with negative and severe treatment effect biopsy outcomes (HR 2.00, p = 0.022). CONCLUSIONS: A positive posttreatment biopsy after external beam radiotherapy was associated with a higher risk of distant metastasis and prostate cancer related death. Patients with severe treatment effect classified biopsies have biological characteristics more like patients with a negative biopsy than a positive biopsy. Posttreatment biopsies were more often positive in the setting of external beam radiotherapy alone without androgen deprivation therapy or in the presence of high risk disease.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Liver resection can be curative for well-selected metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has shown promise as a biomarker for tumor dynamics and recurrence following CRC resection. This prospective pilot study investigated the use of ctDNA to predict disease outcome in resected CRC patients. METHODS: Between November 2014 and November 2015, 60 patients with CRC were identified and prospectively enrolled. During liver resection, blood was drawn from peripheral (PERIPH), portal (PV), and hepatic (HV) veins, and 3-4 weeks postoperatively from a peripheral vein (POSTOP). Kappa statistics were used to compare mutated (mt) genes in tissue and ctDNA. Disease-specific and disease-free survival (DSS and DFS) were assessed from surgery with Kaplan-Meier and Cox methods. RESULTS: For the 59 eligible patients, the most commonly mutated genes were TP53 (mtTP53: 47.5%) and APC (mtAPC: 50.8%). Substantial to almost-perfect agreement was seen between ctDNA from PERIPH and PV (mtTP53: 89.8%, κ = 0.73, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.53-0.93; mtAPC: 94.9%, κ = 0.83, 95% CI 0.64-1.00), as well as HV (mtTP53: 91.5%, κ = 0.78, 95% CI 0.60-0.96; mtAPC: 91.5%, κ = 0.73, 95% CI 0.51-0.95). Tumor mutations and PERIPH ctDNA had fair-to-moderate agreement (mtTP53: 72.9%, κ = 0.44, 95% CI 0.23-0.66; mtAPC: 61.0%, κ = 0.23, 95% CI 0.04-0.42). Detection of PERIPH mtTP53 was associated with worse 2-year DSS (mt+ 79% vs. mt- 90%, P = 0.024). CONCLUSIONS: Peripheral blood reflects the perihepatic ctDNA signature. Disagreement between tissue and ctDNA mutations may reflect the true natural history of tumor genes or an assay limitation. Peripheral ctDNA detection before liver resection is associated with worse DSS.

RESUMO

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is commonly complicated by a complex coagulopathy. Uncertainty remains as to which markers of bleeding risk are independent predictors. Drawing from 5 large clinical trials that included all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) as part of induction, we assessed known determinants of bleeding at baseline and evaluated them as potential predictors of hemorrhagic death (HD) in the first 30 days of treatment. The studies included were ALLG APML3 (single arm of ATRA + idarubicin ± prednisone), ALLG APML4 (single arm of ATRA + idarubicin + arsenic trioxide + prednisone), CALGB C9710 (single arm of ATRA + cytarabine + daunorubicin), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group-American College of Radiology Imaging Network (ECOG-ACRIN) E2491 (intergroup I0129, consisting of daunorubicin + cytarabine vs ATRA), and SWOG S0521 (single-arm induction of ATRA + cytarabine + daunorubicin). A total of 1009 patients were included in the original trials, of which 995 had sufficient data to be included in our multivariate analysis. In this final cohort, there were 37 HD cases during the first 30 days following induction, for an estimated cumulative incidence of 3.7% (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.6% to 5.0%). Using multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression, the hazard ratio of HD in the first 30 days was 2.17 (95% CI, 0.84-5.62) for an ECOG performance status of 3-4 vs 0-2 and 5.20 (95% CI, 2.70-10.02) for a white blood cell count of ≥20 000/µL vs <20 000/µL. In this large cohort of APL patients, high white blood cell count emerged as an independent predictor of early HD.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The surgical approach to gallbladder cancer (GBCA) has evolved in recent years, but the impact on outcomes is unknown. This study describes differences in presentation, surgery, chemotherapy strategy, and survival for patients with GBCA over two decades at a tertiary referral center. METHODS: A single-institution database was queried for patients with GBCA who underwent surgical evaluation and exploration and was studied retrospectively. Univariate logistic regression was used to assess the relationship between time and treatment. Univariate Cox proportional hazard regression assessed the association between year of diagnosis and survival. RESULTS: From 1992 to 2015, 675 patients with GBCA were evaluated and 437 underwent exploration. Complete resection rates increased over time (p < 0.001). In those submitted to complete resection (n = 255, 58.4%), more recent years were associated with lower likelihood of bile duct resection and major hepatectomy but greater odds of neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy (p < 0.05). No significant association was found between year of diagnosis and OS or RFS (p > 0.05) for patients with complete resection. CONCLUSION: Over the study period, GBCA treatment evolved to include fewer biliary and major hepatic resections with no apparent adverse impact on outcome. Further prospective trials, specifically limited to GBCA, are needed to determine the impact of adjuvant chemotherapy.
