RESUMEN

This report presents the case of a 62-year-old woman who was diagnosed in 1999 with stage I cervical carcinoma treated by surgical resection. In 2021, she presented to the emergency department with a complaint of predominantly right-sided lower back pain. A CT scan of the lumbosacral region revealed a bone lesion in the L5 vertebra and retroperitoneal lymphadenopathies suggestive of malignancy. Histology of the L5 vertebra biopsy showed a poorly differentiated carcinoma with an inconclusive immunophenotypic profile. Treatment for carcinoma of unknown primary was started with a combination of carboplatin and paclitaxel every 21 days. A genomic study of the biopsy specimen performed on the FoundationOne CDx platform identified a nonhuman genetic signature compatible with HPV. The presence of HPV 18 DNA in the specimen was confirmed by PCR-reverse dot blot, and the immunophenotypic profile was expanded, revealing strong and diffuse p16 expression, thus corroborating the molecular findings. In view of these findings, the case was reclassified as a recurrence of the cervical adenocarcinoma that had been diagnosed and treated 23 years earlier. Based on the new results, and according to first-line cervical carcinoma protocols, bevacizumab at 15 mg/kg every 21 days was added to her chemotherapy regimen. The identification of HPV DNA sequences by next-generation sequencing facilitated the correct diagnosis and led to a modification of the first-line therapeutic approach.

RESUMEN

Fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) genomic alterations (GAs) represent an actionable target, key to the pathogenesis of some urothelial cancers (UCs). Though FGFR GAs are common in noninvasive UC, little is known about their role in the metastatic(m) setting and response to therapy. This study aimed to assess the impact of FGFR alterations on sensitivity to systemic treatments and survival and to validate Bajorin's and Bellmunt's prognostic scores in mUC patients according to their FGFR status. We retrospectively analyzed data from 98 patients with tumor-sequenced UC who received treatment between January 2010 and December 2020. Up to 77 developed metastatic disease and were deemed the study population. Twenty-six showed FGFR GAs. A trend toward a better response to cisplatin and checkpoint inhibitors was suggested favoring FGFR GA tumors. FGFR GA patients who received an FGFR inhibitor as first-line had poorer responses compared with other options (20% vs. 68.4%, p = 0.0065). Median PFS was 6 vs. 5 months in the FGFR GA vs. FGFR WT cohort (p = 0.71). Median OS was significantly worse in the FGFR GA vs. FGFR WT cohort (16.2 vs. 31.9 months, p = 0.045). Multivariate analyses deemed FGFR GAs as a factor independently associated with the outcome (HR 2.59 (95% CI 1.21-5.55)). Bajorin's model correctly predicted clinical outcomes in the whole study population but not in FGFR GA cases. FGFR GAs are a relevant biomarker in mUC that could condition the response to systemic therapy. New prognostic models, including this molecular determination, should be designed and validated.
