RESUMO

The cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitors, palbociclib and abemaciclib, have been approved in Japan. However, the selection criteria for these drugs have not been established. Hence, we aimed to identify the risk factors for CDK4/6 inhibitor-induced intolerable adverse events requiring dose reduction or therapy cessation and to establish useful markers for choosing the appropriate CDK4/6 inhibitor, based on the incidence of the intolerable adverse events. This retrospective cohort analysis included patients with advanced breast cancer who received 125 mg/d palbociclib or 300 mg/d abemaciclib. We defined significant adverse events (SAEs) as side effects requiring dose reduction or therapy cessation. Thirty-six percent of the patients who received palbociclib (9/25) and 27.3% of those who received abemaciclib (9/33) experienced SAEs. In palbociclib and abemaciclib groups, baseline white blood cell (WBC) counts and serum albumin (ALB) levels, respectively, were significantly lower in patients who experienced SAEs than in those who did not (palbociclib: p = 0.007; abemaciclib: p = 0.004). According to the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, the optimal cutoff values for baseline WBC count and ALB level were 5700/µL and 4.0 g/dL, respectively. Among patients with ALB levels >4.0 g/dL, the incidence of abemaciclib-induced SAEs was significantly lower than that of the palbociclib-induced SAEs (1/17 (5.9%) vs. 6/14 (42.9%), odds ratio: 11.0, 95% confidence interval: 1.07-583, p = 0.0281). Thus, a baseline WBC count ≤5700/µL and ALB level ≤4.0 g/dL may be risk factors for palbociclib and abemaciclib-induced SAEs, respectively. Also, high ALB levels can serve as a useful marker for choosing abemaciclib.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to develop and validate a state-of-the-art, deep learning (DL)-based model for detecting breast cancers on mammography. METHODS: Mammograms in a hospital development dataset, a hospital test dataset, and a clinic test dataset were retrospectively collected from January 2006 through December 2017 in Osaka City University Hospital and Medcity21 Clinic. The hospital development dataset and a publicly available digital database for screening mammography (DDSM) dataset were used to train and to validate the RetinaNet, one type of DL-based model, with five-fold cross-validation. The model's sensitivity and mean false positive indications per image (mFPI) and partial area under the curve (AUC) with 1.0 mFPI for both test datasets were externally assessed with the test datasets. RESULTS: The hospital development dataset, hospital test dataset, clinic test dataset, and DDSM development dataset included a total of 3179 images (1448 malignant images), 491 images (225 malignant images), 2821 images (37 malignant images), and 1457 malignant images, respectively. The proposed model detected all cancers with a 0.45-0.47 mFPI and had partial AUCs of 0.93 in both test datasets. CONCLUSIONS: The DL-based model developed for this study was able to detect all breast cancers with a very low mFPI. Our DL-based model achieved the highest performance to date, which might lead to improved diagnosis for breast cancer.

RESUMO

The patient was a 64-year-old woman. The patient was operated for left breast cancer(pT2N0M0, stage ⅡA, Luminal A). Eight years after surgery, CT findings revealed lung metastasis in the S8 and S9 areas of the left lung. The patient was treated with a combination of abemaciclib and letrozole, which resulted in a partial response(PR). One year after treatment, the lung metastases remained small, but multiple interstitial shadows appeared in both lower lung fields. The patient was diagnosed with drug-induced interstitial lung disease(Grade 1), and abemaciclib withdrawal and steroid therapy were initiated. After 3 months of treatment with prednisolone at 30 mg/day, the interstitial shadows tended to improve on CT, but a liver abscess was found in the S8 area of the right lobe of the liver. Prednisolone was tapered and abemaciclib was resumed at a dose of 200 mg/day, resulting in scarring of the lung injury and resolution of the liver abscess. The patient's PR was maintained for 18 months after relapse. We report a case of liver abscess during treatment of abemaciclib-induced interstitial lung disease.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND/AIM: In our previous study, first-line eribulin (ERI) showed 25 weeks of progression-free survival (PFS). This study investigated the efficacy and safety of ERI re-administration in metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: HER2-negative MBC patients who had never received chemotherapy for MBC received first-line ERI for 18 weeks if they did not have disease progression, and then one cycle of S-1 before ERI re-administration. RESULTS: Twelve patients received ERI re-administration. The PFS of re-administered ERI was 13 weeks. Total duration of ERI use was 30 weeks. The incidence and severity of adverse events were consistent with previous reports. CONCLUSION: In the first-line setting, the total PFS of eribulin was extended by S-1 administration before disease progression, compared with that of our previous report.

RESUMO

A 52-year-old woman experienced right breast pain and detected a mammary tumor 6 months ago. She then noticed rapid enlargement of the tumor, which was suspected to be a borderline malignant phyllodes tumor. The tumor size was approximately 15 cm and presented with skin congestion but without infiltration. The tumor showed internal heterogeneous echo and rich blood flow signals on breast ultrasonography. Ultrasonography also showed swelling of the axillary lymph node. Lymph node cytology revealed the presence of atypical cells in the lymph node, and CT scan showed lymph node metastasis in the right axilla and no distant metastases. We performed mastectomy with lymph node sampling. Pathological examination of the specimens confirmed a malignant phyllodes tumor and a metastatic lymph node. One month later, a subcutaneous mass and multiple pulmonary nodules were identified on a chest CT scan. Chest wall irradiation(45 Gy)and chemotherapy were performed, but the number of pulmonary nodules, pleural effusion, and size of the subcutaneous mass continued to increase. Although she underwent another chemotherapeutic treatment, she died 5 months after the surgery. Thus, we report a case of a malignant phyllodes tumor with an extremely rare lymph node metastasis, which rapidly progressed even though multimodal therapy was performed.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The molecular subtype of breast cancer is an important component of establishing the appropriate treatment strategy. In clinical practice, molecular subtypes are determined by receptor expressions. In this study, we developed a model using deep learning to determine receptor expressions from mammograms. METHODS: A developing data set and a test data set were generated from mammograms from the affected side of patients who were pathologically diagnosed with breast cancer from January 2006 through December 2016 and from January 2017 through December 2017, respectively. The developing data sets were used to train and validate the DL-based model with five-fold cross-validation for classifying expression of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PgR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-neu (HER2). The area under the curves (AUCs) for each receptor were evaluated with the independent test data set. RESULTS: The developing data set and the test data set included 1,448 images (997 ER-positive and 386 ER-negative, 641 PgR-positive and 695 PgR-negative, and 220 HER2-enriched and 1,109 non-HER2-enriched) and 225 images (176 ER-positive and 40 ER-negative, 101 PgR-positive and 117 PgR-negative, and 53 HER2-enriched and 165 non-HER2-enriched), respectively. The AUC of ER-positive or -negative in the test data set was 0.67 (0.58-0.76), the AUC of PgR-positive or -negative was 0.61 (0.53-0.68), and the AUC of HER2-enriched or non-HER2-enriched was 0.75 (0.68-0.82). CONCLUSION: The DL-based model effectively classified the receptor expressions from the mammograms. Applying the DL-based model to predict breast cancer classification with a noninvasive approach would have additive value to patients.

RESUMO

For qualitative diagnosis of breast mass, core needle biopsy(CNB)and fine-needle aspiration biopsy cytology(FNAC)are widely used. Overseas, vacuum-assisted biopsy(VAB)is often the first choice for qualitative diagnosis, and its proper use has become a clinical issue. In addition, with the progress of diagnostic imaging in recent years, the chances of finding micro-lesions such as ductal carcinoma in situ(DCIS)are increasing. Since a sufficient amount of tissue sample is required for these diagnoses and abundant biopsy materials are required, tissue biopsy by VAB may be desirable. The advantage of tissue biopsy with VAB is that accurate definitive diagnosis is possible by collecting a sufficient amount of tissue to obtain pretreatment tissue information. On the other hand, there is concern that patient stress may occur, such as hematoma formation after puncture and invasion by a thick puncture needle. It is lightweight and has an ergonomic design that provides stable grip. New technological innovations in this device may contribute to the reduction of patient stress, and are expected to be used in the future. We outline the experience of using BD EleVationTM in breast suction tissue biopsy at our institution.

RESUMO

Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is a rarely occurring refractory disease. While recent clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy for ATC, evidence is scarce in clinical practice. In this study, we reviewed our initial experiences with TKI treatment in ATC patients with the aim of revealing the efficacy and safety of the same in clinical practice. We retrospectively reviewed our experiences with TKI treatment use in ATC patients diagnosed at our institute from 2014 to 2019. Changes in the patients' neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) by TKI therapy introduction as well as their clinical factors to indicate the efficacy were examined. Seven patients showed no indication for TKI treatment, while 13 (65%) received treatment. The median duration of TKI treatment was 1.9 months. All patients died, and the overall survival period from diagnosis was 4.7 (95% confidence interval: 2.0-11.5) months. Adverse events ≥Grade 3 were observed commonly (92.3%), and resulted in the termination of TKI treatment in six cases (46.1%). Existence of multiple unfavorable characteristics (higher Prognostic Index) was associated with poor survival. The NLR decreased after the introduction of TKIs and increased again when treatment failed. The response rate to TKI among the ATC patients were approximately 30% in practice. Although the duration of the response was short, several patients demonstrated long survival durations when TKI treatment was provided after successful multidisciplinary treatment to control local disease. Decreases in high NLR values during treatment may suggest the continued effect of TKIs.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To demonstrate how artificial intelligence (AI) can expand radiologists' capacity, we visualized the features of invasive ductal carcinomas (IDCs) that our algorithm, developed and validated for basic pathological classification on mammograms, had focused on. MATERIALS AND METHODS: IDC datasets were built using mammograms from patients diagnosed with IDCs from January 2006 to December 2017. The developing dataset was used to train and validate a VGG-16 deep learning (DL) network. The true positives (TPs) and accuracy of the algorithm were externally evaluated using the test dataset. A visualization technique was applied to the algorithm to determine which malignant findings on mammograms were revealed. RESULTS: The datasets were split into a developing dataset (988 images) and a test dataset (131 images). The proposed algorithm diagnosed 62 TPs with an accuracy of 0.61-0.70. The visualization of features on the mammograms revealed that the tubule forming, solid, and scirrhous types of IDCs exhibited visible features on the surroundings, corners of the masses, and architectural distortions, respectively. CONCLUSION: We successfully showed that features isolated by a DL-based algorithm trained to classify IDCs were indeed those known to be associated with each pathology. Thus, using AI can expand the capacity of radiologists through the discovery of previously unknown findings.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND/AIM: Infusion reactions (IRs) often occur with trastuzumab. Although premedication by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be effective to a certain extent, IRs are still common and infrequently severe. Therefore, a predictive marker that can select patients requiring further prophylaxis is useful for appropriate prevention, but remains unclear. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis for 136 consecutive female inpatients aged 18 years and older who received 8 mg/kg of the initial trastuzumab administration for breast cancer with a 25-mg dose of rectal diclofenac before trastuzumab infusion between May 2007 and April 2019, in order to assess IRs. RESULTS: Overall, 57 patients were eligible for inclusion in the study. IRs were observed in 17.5% (10/57) of the patients. Univariate analysis showed that patients with a low eosinophil percentage (≤2%) were associated with IRs (p=0.016). CONCLUSION: A low eosinophil percentage can be a useful new predictive marker for trastuzumab-induced IRs in patients with breast cancer.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The peripheral blood neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio(NLR), platelet-lymphocyte ratio(PLR), and lymphocyte- monocyte ratio(LMR)of cancer patients have been proposed as indicators of systemic inflammatory response. Recombinant human-soluble thrombomodulin(rTM)has also been reported its efficacy in DIC associated with solid tumors. In this study, we investigated the clinical significance of inflammatory markers in rTM therapy for DIC associated with solid tumors. PATIENTS AND METHOD: A retrospective study of 63 patients with solid tumors with DIC was performed. We examined the correlation between NLR, LMR, PLR and DIC withdrawal rate and 28-day survival rate. RESULTS: The DIC withdrawal rate was not correlated in LMR(p=0.655), and significantly higher in low NLR and low PLR cases(p=0.037, p=0.024). Furthermore, 28-day survival rate was not correlated in LMR(p=0.632), and significantly higher in low NLR and low PLR cases(p= 0.046, p=0.014). CONCLUSIONS: It was suggested that NLR and PLR may be useful as predictive markers of DIC withdrawal rate and 28-day survival rate in rTM therapy for DIC associated with solid tumors.

RESUMO

The patient was 54 years old, female. She was aware of gradually worsening right peri-eyelid swelling 2 years before the first presentation to our dermatology department. She underwent biopsy of eyelid skin 2 times. Nevertheless, definitive diagnosis was not obtained. Two months after the initial examination, right anterior thoracic swelling appeared, and right axillary, right subclavian, and interpectoral lymphadenopathy were detected. She was referred to our department for diagnosing metastatic breast cancer. Ultrasonography showed hypoechoic lesion with distortion(largest lesion>2 cm)in right breast, which was suspected to be a breast cancer. The results of breast core needle biopsy, the third time's eyelid skin biopsy and additional imaging studies confirmed T2N3M1, Stage Ⅳ right mammary invasive lobular carcinoma with metastasis to the eyelid skin, right axillary lymph nodes, right subclavian lymph nodes and the subcutaneous tissue of the right back. Immunohistochemical studies showed ER-positive, PgR-negative, HER2-negative, and low Ki-67 expression. Endocrine therapy with letrozole was initiated, which maintained stable disease without compromising the quality of life.

RESUMO

Seventy years old woman noticed a mass in her right breast before 3 years. Since she had ulcer bleeding, she visited our hospital. In physical findings, a hemorrhagic about 8 cm mass with an ulcer was found in the upper right breast. Breast ultrasonography revealed a large tumor of approximately 8 cm in the right A area, and needle biopsy revealed invasive ductal carcinoma(ER positive, PgR positive, HER2 positive, Ki-67 low expression). Right axillary lymph node metastasis was confirmed, but no clear distant metastasis was observed. Pretreatment diagnosis was right breast cancer, cT4bN1M0, Stage ⅢB, Luminal HER. Chemotherapy was started with pertuzumab, trastuzumab, and docetaxel, and the tumor was reduced after 6 cycles. Due to side effects, the drug was changed to a molecular targeted drug only and the treatment was continued. However, redness was observed in the entire right breast, and breast cancer skin metastasis was suspected. Since the dermatitis caused by metronidazole gel was also distinguished, the redness was improved when the application was stopped. When confirmed by a patch test, a reaction to metronidazole gel was observed, leading to the diagnosis of dermatitis caused by metronidazole gel.

RESUMO

The anti-PD-L1 antibody atezolizumab has become the standard of immunochemotherapy with the results of the international phase Ⅲ trials in lung cancer and breast cancer. We report a case in which atezolizumab was efficiency in PD-L1 (SP142)-positive lung and breast double cancer. A 56-years-old woman. She noticed a lump in her right breast and visited a nearby doctor, who referred her to our hospital for close examination and treatment. Ultrasonography revealed about 5 cm mass on the right mammary gland and axillary lymph nodes swelling. Core-needle biopsy was confirmed invasive ductal carcinoma( ER negative, PgR negative, HER2 negative, Ki-67 high expression). CT findings showed right mammary mass, right axillary lymph nodes swelling, liver mass, and lung tumor with mediastinal lymph nodes swelling. Therefore, a bronchoscopic biopsy was performed and a diagnosis of primary lung cancer was obtained. Pretreatment diagnosis was lung adenocarcinoma, cT2a, N2/3, M1b/1c(HEP, OSS), Stage ⅢA/B or ⅣA/B(PD-L1 positive), and right breast cancer, T4b, N2, M0/1 (HEP, OSS, LYM), Stage ⅢB or Ⅳ triple-negative(PD-L1 positive)double cancer. We underwent surgery(mastectomy with axillar lymph nodes dissection), followed by immunochemotherapy(atezolizumab, carboplatin, paclitaxel)and it was efficiency.

RESUMO

A 59-year-old female was performed a left mastectomy with axillary lymph node dissection. Final diagnosis of the surgical specimen was left breast cancer pT2N1M0, Stage ⅡB, Luminal type. She was treated with adjuvant endocrine therapy, however, chest wall recurrence was identified at 1 year and 3 months after surgery, and curative resection of this tumor and radiotherapy were performed. Nine months later, she was admitted to the hospital for cervical pain and dyspnea, and magnetic resonance imaging showed bone metastasis in cervical vertebra which compressed spinal cord. Although cervical fusion therapy was performed, she died 39 days later. Metastasis spinal cord compression in breast cancer patients may result in irreversible spinal cord injury if treatment is delayed. Rapid diagnosis and systemic treatment for oncologic emergency are significant.

RESUMO

Pertuzumab plus trastuzumab plus docetaxel regimen is the first choice for the initial treatment of HER2-positive recurrent breast cancer. However, docetaxel causes many adverse events. A 48-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for a left breast tumor and was diagnosed with left breast cancer(T1N0M0, Stage Ⅰ, Luminal A). We performed a breast-conserving surgery and sentinel lymph node biopsy, followed by irradiation of the remaining parts of the mammary gland and adjuvant therapy with tamoxifen. Three and a half years after the first surgery, she underwent local resection due to chest wall recurrence of breast cancer. The recurrent tumor was HER2-positive, and we administered fluorouracil, epirubicin, cyclophosphamide( FEC)and paclitaxel plus trastuzumab. Liver metastases were confirmed on completion of cycle 11 of trastuzumab administration, and the regimen was changed to pertuzumab plus trastuzumab plus docetaxel. A partial response was seen following this regimen. The next line of treatment was the administration of 5 cycles of T-DM1, which resulted in stabilizing the disease. The liver metastases progressed, and the regimen was changed to pertuzumab plus trastuzumab plus eribulin. Partial response was seen following this regimen for liver metastases without serious adverse events(20 cycles).

RESUMO

Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is a rare refractory disease, frequently associated with BRAF mutations and aberrant vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) secretion. The antitumor effects of sorafenib were evaluated, and its mechanisms of action were investigated. Four human ATC cell lines were used: OCUT­4, which possesses a BRAF mutation; OCUT­6 and ACT­1, which carry NRAS mutations; and OCUT­2, which possesses mutations in BRAF and PI3KCA. The viability of Sorafenib was evaluated by MTT assay. In order to examine the inhibitory effect of Sorafenib on intracellular signal transduction, expression of mitogen­activated protein kinase kinase was examined by western blotting. In addition, cell cycle analysis was performed using flow cytometry. The inhibitory effects of sorafenib on the growth of ATC cells and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) stimulated with conditioned media from ATC cells were examined. Sorafenib inhibited the viability of OCUT­4 more effectively than other ATC cell lines; these effects may have been mediated cytostatically by suppressing mitogen­activated protein kinase kinase phosphorylation. Conversely, similar suppression was not observed in OCUT­6 cells, which possess an NRAS mutation. The four cell lines secreted different quantities of VEGF, and the proliferation of HUVECs was differentially stimulated by their conditioned media. Both anti­VEGF antibody and sorafenib prevented this stimulation of proliferation. In conclusion, sorafenib more effectively inhibited RAF­generated growth signals in ATC cells compared with signals generated by its upstream gene, RAS. ATC cells stimulated the growth of HUVECs via humoral factors, including VEGF; this effect was clearly inhibited by sorafenib. The present findings highlighted the potential of sorafenib for the treatment of ATC and provided insight into its mechanism of action.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the utility of continuous intraoperative neuromonitoring (CIONM) during surgery for thyroid cancer (TC) in an educational university hospital. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective observational study. METHODS: During the period April 2016 to March 2017, 43 patients who underwent standardized surgery with CIONM were prospectively included: 5 men and 38 women, 24-87 years old (median 52 years); 23 lobectomies and 20 total thyroidectomies with node dissection were conducted. Thirty-six operations were performed by a supervising surgeon, and seven were performed by trainees. RESULTS: Temporal vocal cord paresis (VCP) was identified in 9 of 63 nerves at risk (14.3%) by postoperative laryngoscopy. VCP was not related to clinical factors including the surgeon's experience or the severe nerve stress demonstrated by CIONM. A significant relation only between VCP and loss of signal (LOS) was demonstrated (P = .002). The recovery of VCP was rapid (<1 month) in patients with global injury even when LOS was demonstrated, but was prolonged in patients demonstrating obvious segmental nerve injury and LOS. CONCLUSION: The present standard protocol of CIONM was useful to some extent to protect prolonged VCP, but not enough to detect every nerve stress causing VCP during TC surgery. On the other hand, CIONM is a promising method that could contribute surgical education at training hospitals enabling the instant confirmation of the procedure safely. LEVELS OF EVIDENCE: 3b.

RESUMO

AIM: This study was conducted in order to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-paclitaxel) plus trastuzumab followed by 5-fluorouracil/ epirubicin/cyclophosphamide (FEC) in a neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) setting for patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive operable breast cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Each patient received four cycles of 260 mg/m2 nab-paclitaxel with 6 mg/kg trastuzumab (8 mg/kg as the loading dose) every 3 weeks (q3w) followed by four cycles of FEC (500/100/500 mg/m2) q3w. The primary endpoint was pathological complete response (pCR) rate. RESULTS: Twenty-nine patients were analyzed for the efficacy and safety of this treatment. All patients completed four cycles of nab-paclitaxel and trastuzumab, and 28 patients completed four cycles of FEC. Twenty-seven patients subsequently underwent surgery. The pCR rate was 74.0%. The most frequent toxicity was sensory neuropathy (96.6%), but grade 3 neuropathy rate was 3.4%. CONCLUSION: Nab-paclitaxel plus trastuzumab followed by FEC in patients with HER2-positive operable breast cancer is considerably effective and well tolerated.
