RESUMEN

A 69-year-old man was diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer in the upper body of the stomach and underwent total gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection. At the diagnosis, the pathological stage was T2N3M0(Stage ⅢA). The patient underwent adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1 for a year. Two years after surgery, metastasis in subclavian and axillary lymph nodes was diagnosed by positron emission tomography-computed tomography(PET-CT). He rejected systemic chemotherapy, and radiotherapy(RT)at 56 Gy/28 Fr was administered. After RT, the metastatic lymph node completely regressed. However, CT showed lymph node metastasis in the right cervical, supraclavicular, and mediastinal zones over 1 year and 6 months after RT. These body regions received RT at a total dose of 40 Gy/20 Fr, and cancer significantly shrank again. Five years after following the second RT, the patient remains alive with no signs of relapse. RT may be a promising method for localized distant metastasis in patients who did not receive chemotherapy.

RESUMEN

We report a case of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(ICC)with lymph node metastases in which long-term survival was achieved after surgery followed by chemotherapy. A 69-year-old man underwent left hepatectomy, extrahepatic bile duct resection, and lymph node dissection for ICC located mainly in segment 4 of the liver with enlarged lymph nodes in the hepatoduodenal ligament. The histopathologically confirmed diagnosis was ICC(T2N1M0, Stage ⅣA)with 3 positive lymph nodes(No. 12a1, No. 12p1, and No. 12p2). He received chemotherapy with gemcitabine(GEM)plus cisplatin(CDDP)for 9 months, followed by GEM monotherapy for 4 months, and then S-1 monotherapy was started. A right lung nodule was detected 12 months after the initiation of S-1 monotherapy. He received GEM plus S-1 therapy for 28 months, followed by S-1 monotherapy, leading to disappearance of the lung nodule. He remains alive and well without disease 78 months after surgery. Our experience in this case suggests that radical resection followed by chemotherapy may provide a survival benefit in selected patients who have ICC with nodal disease.

RESUMEN

The patient was a 64-year-old man with diagnosis of pancreatic head cancer. Initially, abdominal CT showed pancreatic head tumor with bile duct invasion and no distant metastases including para-aortic lymph nodes(PALN). Although, subtotal stomach-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy(SSPPD)and PALN sampling was performed, intraoperative frozen section examination revealed PALN metastasis. He had chronic kidney disease and was unsuitable for standard chemotherapy, SSPPD and PALN dissection was performed instead of standard chemotherapy. Histopathological examination of the resected specimens revealed invasive ductal carcinoma in the pancreatic head region and 11 nodes out of the 17 dissected PALN. Adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1 was performed. 22 months after surgery, intraabdominal lymph nodes metastasis and lung metastasis was found. 24 months after surgery, palliative radiation therapy at a dose of 40 Gy was performed. Systemic chemotherapy with gemcitabine alone was performed, but he was dead 67 months after the initial therapy.

RESUMEN

The patient was a 63-year-old woman with diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Abdominal CT showed pancreatic head tumor and paraaortic lymph node metastasis. We performed chemotherapy with nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine. After 5 courses of chemotherapy, the tumor reduced in size. Pancreaticoduodenectomy followed by adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1 was performed. Fourteen months after surgery, umbilical metastasis(Sister Mary Joseph's nodule: SMJN)was found in the umbilicus near the abdominal incisional hernia. There was no evidence of metastasis except in the umbilicus, we performed the umbilical tumor resection and abdominal incisional hernia repair. Pathological diagnosis was pancreatic cancer metastasis. Although following chemotherapy, multiple skin metastases was found in the lower abdomen 3 months after umbilical resection. We performed skin metastases resection to relieve pain and symptoms of bleeding. But she died 29 months after the initial therapy(7 months after umbilical resection).

RESUMEN

A 77-year-old woman presented with peritoneal metastases from a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor(p-NET). At the age of 56 years, she underwent distal pancreatectomy for p-NET, which was pathologically diagnosed as G2. She underwent right hemihepatectomy for liver metastasis(S6)from the p-NET 10 years post-pancreatectomy. Eight years post-hepatectomy, radiofrequency ablation(RFA)was attempted for liver metastasis(S4)from the p-NET. However, RFA was not completed because of hematoma development along the needle tract of RFA. She underwent partial hepatectomy for this lesion 6 months post-RFA. Two years post-RFA, localized peritoneal metastases on the right diaphragm were detected. She underwent en bloc tumor resection with partial resection of the diaphragm. She remains alive and well with no evidence of disease 2 years post-resection of the peritoneal metastases from the p-NET.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND/AIM: Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a pleiotropic, bioactive, lipid mediator, produced by sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1). In this study, we evaluated the expression of phosphorylated SphK1 (pSphK1) in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and investigated its clinical significance. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 111 patients who underwent curative-intent resection for PDAC were enrolled. We investigated pSphK1 (Ser-225) expression in surgically resected specimens of PDAC using immunohistochemistry. The patients were divided into two groups according to pSphK1 immunoreactive expression: a pSphK1-high group (n=63) and a pSphK1-low group (n=48). RESULTS: Logistic regression analyses revealed that lymphatic invasion (p=0.007) was a significantly independent factor associated with high pSphK1 immunoreactive expression. The pSphK1-high group showed significantly worse disease-specific survival (DSS) than the pSphK1-low group (5-year DSS rate, 19.6% vs. 58.7%; p=0.001). High pSphK1 immunoreactive expression (hazard ratio=2.547; 95% confidence interval= 1.434-4.527; p=0.001) was an independent prognostic factor for DSS. CONCLUSION: High pSphK1 expression is independently associated with lymphatic invasion and unfavorable prognosis in PDAC patients. Thus, the SphK1-S1P axis may be important in mechanisms of tumor progression, such as lymphatic invasion, in PDAC patients.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT), a mesenchymal fibroblastic tumor with a hypervascular nature, rarely develops in the pelvis. Resection of a giant SFT occupying the pelvic cavity poses an increased risk of developing massive hemorrhage during resection, although surgical resection is the most effective treatment method for this tumor to achieve a potential cure. SFT rarely develops with Doege-Potter syndrome, which is known as a paraneoplastic syndrome characterized by non-islet cell tumor hypoglycemia (NICTH) secondary to SFT that secretes insulin-like growth factor-II (IGF-II). We present a case of a giant pelvic SFT with Doege-Potter syndrome, which was successfully treated with transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) followed by surgical resection. CASE PRESENTATION: A 46-year-old woman presented with a disorder of consciousness due to refractory hypoglycemia. Images of the pelvis showed a giant and heterogeneously hypervascular mass displacing and compressing the rectum. Endocrinological evaluation revealed low serum levels of insulin and C-peptide consistent with NICTH. Angiography identified both the inferior mesenteric artery and the bilateral internal iliac artery as the main feeders of the tumor. To avoid intraoperative massive bleeding, super-selective TAE was performed for the tumor 2 days prior to surgery. Hypoglycemia disappeared after TAE. The tumor was resected completely, with no massive hemorrhage during resection. Histologically, it was diagnosed as IGF-II-secreting SFT. Partial necrosis of the rectum in the specimen was observed due to TAE. The patient was followed up for 2 years and no evidence of disease has been reported. CONCLUSIONS: Preoperative angiography followed by TAE is an exceedingly helpful method to reduce intraoperative hemorrhage when planning to resect SFT occupying the pelvic cavity. Complications related to ischemia should be kept in mind after TAE, which needs to be planned within 1 or 2 days before surgery. TAE for tumors may be an option in addition to medical and surgical treatment for persistent hypoglycemia in Doege-Potter syndrome.
