ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of anlotinib in distant metastatic radioactive iodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (RAIR-DTC).Methods:Retrospective analysis was performed on 17 patients with distant metastatic RAIR-DTC (6 males, 11 females, age: 57.0(45.5, 63.0) years) from Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University between October 2018 and February 2023, including 13 patients receiving first-line treatment and 4 patients receiving second-line treatment with anlotinib. The changes of serum thyroglobulin (Tg) during the treatment of anlotinib, the changes of maximum diameter of the target lesion at the last follow-up compared with the diameter at baseline, the imaging efficacy, and treatment-related adverse events were analyzed. The serological and imaging effects of the first-line treatment group and the second-line treatment group were compared. The Fisher exact test was used to analyze the differences between groups.Results:The follow-up time of 17 patients was 17.3(9.5, 21.4) months, and the objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) were 7/17 and 16/17, respectively. There were no significant differences of ORR (6/13 vs 1/4; P=0.603) and DCR (13/13 vs 3/4; P=0.235) between the first-line and second-line treatment groups. The change rates of serum Tg at 3, 6 weeks and the last follow-up were -30.2%(-61.2%, -15.5%), -64.8%(-90.6%, -32.3%), and -85.8%(-96.1%, -50.7%), respectively. At the last follow-up, the change rate of maximum diameter of target lesions was -20.0%(-45.0%, -5.2%). The incidence of treatment-related adverse reactions was 14/17, and 2 patients (2/17) had grade 3 or above adverse reactions. Conclusion:Anlotinib shows superior efficacy with tolerable toxicity in the first-line treatment of distant metastatic RAIR-DTC, and hopefully plays an important role in second-line treatment for RAIR-DTC resistant to sorafenib.

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic role of 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/ CT in female patients with ascites of unknown origin by analyzing the characteristics of PET/ CT images. Meth?ods From April 2011 to December 2016, 117 female (average age: 58 years) with ascites of unknown ori-gin who underwent 18 F-FDG PET/ CT or whose ascites were found by PET/ CT were retrospectively analyzed. The causes of ascites, level of ascites metabolism in PET/ CT, diagnostic efficacy of PET/ CT for localizing primary tumor and metastasis were analyzed. Two-sample t test was used to analyze the data. Results The most common cause of female ascites was ovarian cancer, accounting for 35.0%(41/ 117). The mean stand-ardized uptake value (SUVmean ) of malignant ascites was higher than that of benign ascites (1.41±0.40 vs 0. 94±0.47; t= 3.92, P<0.05). The total detection rate of 18 F-FDG PET/ CT for primary or metastatic tumor in malignant ascites was 89.4%(93/ 104), and 75.6%(31/ 41) for malignant ascites originating from ovari-an cancer. For patients with ovarian cancer, 18 F-FDG PET/ CT clearly localized the primary tumors in 24. 4%(10/ 41) patients and metastasis in 51.2%(21/ 41) patients. Conclusions Ovarian cancer is the most common cause of female ascites. 18 F-FDG PET/ CT has a high diagnostic value for qualitative and etio-logical diagnosis for ascites of unknown origin in females.

ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the imaging characteristics of 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose ( FDG) PET/ CT in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). Methods Sixty-eight patients (41 males, 27 females, age (61.5±17.2) years) with pathologically proven MM were retrospectively reviewed between January 2011 and August 2016. Imaging characteristics of 18 F-FDG PET/ CT in patients were analyzed. Maximum stand-ardized uptake value (SUVmax ), score of the bone involvement (bones of whole body were classified into 10 groups, and when 1 group was involved, the score was 1), the number of bone lesions and soft tissue swell-ing around bone lesions were investigated. Results A total of 1310 lesions were detected in 68 MM pa-tients. The SUVmax varied widely and mild metabolic activity (2.5≤SUVmax<5.0) was observed in the high-est proportion of MM patients (49.8%, 652/ 1310). The SUVmax of MM patients was 6.63±3.02. The score of bone involvement was 4.49±3.01. The number of bone lesions was 10.50(3.00, 33.00), and soft tissue swelling around bone lesions was observed in 22 patients. Conclusions There are special imaging charac-teristics of 18 F-FDG PET/ CT in MM patients, such as multiple osteolytic lesions with mild to moderate met-abolic activity, clear boundary and extensive bone involvement, and lesions usually limit to the skeletal sys-tem. The characteristics are of certain value in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of MM.

ABSTRACT

Objective To Validate the prognostic significance of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) risk tables in Chinese patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Methods According to the scoring standard of the EORTC system, 225 NMIBC patients were reviewed and divided into 3 groups: low, intermediate and high risk groups for recurrence and progression respectively. The probabilities of recurrence and progression at 1 year and 5 year for each group were calculated using life-table analysis and then compared with the EORTC risk tables. Log-Rank test and multivariable analysis were used to analyze the possible differences between risk groups and to find independent prognostic factors. Results For low (n= 32, 25), intermediate (n=109, 128) and high (n=84, 72) risk groups, the probabilities of recurrence and progression at 1 year were 15. 1%, 31.2%, 55.5% and 0. 3%, 2. 0%, 15.5% respectively. The probabilities at 5 year were 28. 2%, 55.2%, 75.0% and 1.4%, 12.9%, 54. 7%. All the results were similar to that of EORTC tables except the probability of progression at 5 year for the high progression risk group.The differences between different risk groups were significant (P<0.01). In a multivariable analysis for recurrence and progression, the EORTC scores had independent significance (P<0.01). Conclusions EORTC risk tables could stratify NMIBC patients effectively according to the risk of recurrence and progression. It could be a useful tool for Chinese urologists.

ABSTRACT

Objective To determine the main CT features and the key points of differential diagnosis of multilocular cystic renal cell carcinoma (MCRCC) classified according to 2004 WHO pathological diagnostic criteria. Methods According to the criteria, 40 patients were divided into two groups: MCRCC group and other subtypes of cystic renal cell carcinoma (CRCC). The CT findings were evaluated and compared between two groups for cystic content, wall, septum, nodularity, calcification and enhancement. ROC curve was used to determine the cut-off value of the possible CT feature which could distinguish MCRCC from other subtypes of CRCC. Results Seventeen cases of MCRCC group and 23 cases of CRCC group were included in this study according to the diagnostic criteria. MCRCC appeared as a well defined multilocular cystic mass with thin wall and sepia and no expansile solid nodules. Thickness of cystic wall and/or septum is was main CT findings to distinguish MCRCC from other subtypes of CRCC (P < 0.01 ). The cut-off value of the thickness was 6 mm and its sensibility, specificity was 89% ,75% respectively. Conclusion Cystic wall and/or septum with a thickness of less than 6 mm are the main CT findings to dis tinguish MCRCC from other subtypes of CRCC.
