RESUMO

AIM: To determine the results of radioembolization transarterial (TARE), in the treatment of liver tumors, a retrospective evaluation was performed after 112 TARE with 90Y-microspheres administered in 82 patients in a single hospital, analyzing efficacy and safety, after a follow-up greater than or equal to 1 year post-TARE in all patients, and evaluating the possible relationship between treatment response and patient survival. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We have administered 57 single TARE and 55 multiple TARE in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (53), liver metastases (25) and cholangiocarcinoma (4), with prior multidisciplinary evaluation, clinical, angiographic and gammagraphic (planar/SPECT/SPECT-CT with 99mTc-MAA), multicompartment model (MIRD equations), post-TARE screening (planar/SPECT/SPECT-CT), clinical and radiological follow-up, tumor response evaluation (mRECIST criteria) and Kaplan-Meier analysis to determine progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). RESULTS: Therapeutic intention was palliative (82%) and as bridge to liver transplantation/surgical resection (17%). We obtained response (R), complete or partial, in 65.9% of cases. One year after TARE 34.7% of patients with R and 19.2% of non-R were progression-free (P: .003), with OS of 80% for R and 37.5% for non-R (P: .001). Survival analysis showed median OS of 18 months (95% CI 15.7-20.3) for R and 9 months (95% CI 6.1-11.8) for non-R (P: .03). We found mild (27.6%) and severe (5.3%) side effects, all of them resolved, without higher incidence after multiple TARE. CONCLUSION: TARE with 90Y-microspheres, in appropriately selected patients with liver tumors, provides therapeutic efficacy and low rate of toxicity, with higher PFS and OS in patients with TARE response compared to those who did not respond.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: RAS mutations predict resistance to anti-epidermal growthfactor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibodies in metastatic colorectal cancer. We analysed RAS mutations in 30 non-metastatic rectal cancer patients treated with or without cetuximab within the 31 EXPERT-C trial. METHODS: Ninety of 149 patients with tumours available for analysis were KRAS/BRAF wild-type, and randomly assigned to capecitabine plus oxaliplatin (CAPOX) followed by chemoradiotherapy, surgery and adjuvant CAPOX or the same regimen plus cetuximab (CAPOX-C). Of these, four had a mutation of NRAS exon 3, and 84 were retrospectively analysed for additional KRAS (exon 4) and NRAS (exons 2/4) mutations by using bi-directional Sanger sequencing. The effect of cetuximab on study end-points in the RAS wild-type population was analysed. RESULTS: Eleven (13%) of 84 patients initially classified as KRAS/BRAF wild-type were found to have a mutation in KRAS exon 4 (11%) or NRAS exons 2/4 (2%). Overall, 78/149 (52%) assessable patients were RAS wild-type (CAPOX, n=40; CAPOX-C, n=38). In this population, after a median follow-up of 63.8months, in line with the initial analysis, the addition of cetuximab was associated with numerically higher, but not statistically significant, rates of complete response (15.8% versus 7.5%, p=0.31), 5-year progression-free survival (75.5% versus 67.5%, hazard ratio (HR) 0.61, p=0.25) and 5-year overall survival (83.8% versus 70%, HR 0.54, p=0.20). CONCLUSIONS: RAS mutations beyond KRAS exon 2 and 3 were identified in 17% of locally advanced rectal cancer patients. Given the small sample size, no definitive conclusions on the effect of additional RAS mutations on cetuximab treatment in this setting can be drawn and further investigation of RAS in larger studies is warranted.

RESUMO

The 4-5% of the breast cancer patients have metastases in the eye. We present the case of a 30-year-old woman with an infiltrant duct carcinoma of the breast pT2N2M0 HER2 positive. Six months after primary radical treatment she had a systemic relapse with multiples metastatic sites, so several treatment with trastuzumab in combination with chemotherapy were started. After 4 years patient presented multiple white-coloured micronodules in the iris of the right eye. Only a 3-7.8% of ocular metastases are located in the iris. With mantenaince therapy with trastuzumab natural history of the illness has changed. Several studies had analyzed if metastases in the brain during treatment with trastuzumab have increased in comparison with the pretrastuzumab era. The infrequent presentation of metastases in the anterior uveal makes difficult to establish if it is an spontaneous fact or if it is favoured by trastuzumab treatment.
