RESUMO

PURPOSE: To present a summary of the treatment and follow-up recommendations for the biochemical recurrence in castration-sensitive prostate cancer (PCa) acquired through a questionnaire administered to 99 PCa experts from developing countries during the Prostate Cancer Consensus Conference for Developing Countries. METHODS: A total of 27 questions were identified as related to this topic from more than 300 questions. The clinician's responses were tallied and presented in a percentage format. Topics included the use of imaging for staging biochemical recurrence, treatment recommendations for three different clinical scenarios, the field of radiation recommended, and follow-up. Each question had 5-7 relevant response options, including "abstain" and/or "unqualified to answer," and investigated not only recommendations but also if a limitation in resources would change the recommendation. RESULTS: For most questions, a clear majority (> 50%) of clinicians agreed on a recommended treatment for imaging, treatment scenarios, and follow-up, although only a few topics reached a consensus > 75%. Limited resources did affect several areas of treatment, although in many cases, they reinforced more stringent criteria for treatment such as prostate-specific antigen values > 0.2 ng/mL and STAMPEDE inclusion criteria as a basis for recommending treatment. CONCLUSION: A majority of clinicians working in developing countries with limited resources use similar cutoff points and selection criteria to manage patients treated for biochemically recurrent castration-sensitive PCa.

RESUMO

Cytoreductive nephrectomy (CN) followed by systemic therapy had been considered the standard of care for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) patients since two clinical trials established its role during the cytokines era. With introduction of new and effective drugs, such as vascular endothelial growth factor-targeted therapies, the role of CN started to be challenged. Retrospective studies conducted during the targeted therapy era pointed to better outcomes when CN was associated with systemic treatment, although certain patients with poor risk features did not seem to benefit. Therefore, prospective clinical trials supporting CN were needed. Recently, with the publication of two randomized trials evaluating CN in the targeted therapy era, it has been made clear that patient selection and multidisciplinary discussion are of paramount importance in order to achieve the best outcomes. We reviewed the available literature on the role of CN among mRCC patients, commenting on how to apply the new evidence into clinical practice and providing future perspectives.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Approximately 10% of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NET) are associated with familial syndromes, with the most common type being multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN-1). However, the available evidence on how to treat NET comes from studies in sporadic NET. CASE REPORT: Here we report the case of a 51-year-old male patient with a metastatic MEN-1-associated pancreatic NET and hypercalcemia related to primary hyperparathyroidism and tumor-secreted parathyroid-related protein. The patient was treated with everolimus, and showed complete resolution of hypercalcemia and tumor control for 3 years when he presented with pulmonary cryptococcosis and disease progression. CONCLUSION: This case report describes the activity of everolimus in a patient with MEN-1-associated pancreatic NET, its efficacy in treating malignant hypercalcemia associated with NET and the risk of opportunistic infections with prolonged use of this agent.

RESUMO

First-line systemic therapy for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma should largely entail the use of targeted agents. Depending on the clinical factors, VEGF- or mTOR-directed agents may be appropriate.
