RESUMEN Antecedentes: las metástasis pancreáticas, si bien son poco frecuentes, representan una entidad clínica cuyo diagnóstico probablemente se incrementará en el futuro por el aumento de los programas de seguimiento oncológico. Objetivo: describir los resultados quirúrgicos y oncológicos de una serie de pacientes operados por metástasis pancreáticas. Materiales y métodos: se realizó un estudio de cohorte retrospectivo, descriptivo, multicéntrico, de los pacientes sometidos a resecciones pancreáticas por metástasis entre enero de 2016 y diciembre de 2022, en tres efectores de salud por el mismo grupo quirúrgico. Resultados: fueron operados 19 pacientes, con una media de edad de 59 años (45-79), 11 de sexo femenino, en buen estado general y sin otra evidencia de enfermedad oncológica. El origen de los tumores primarios fue 14 en riñón (7 diagnosticados durante el seguimiento), uno carcinoma mamario, uno melanoma, uno testicular, uno colorrectal y uno de cuello de útero. Las técnicas quirúrgicas empleada fueron: 7 esplenopancreatectomías (5 videolaparoscópicas y 2 convencionales), 4 enucleaciones (3 convencionales y 1 videolaparoscópica), 3 duodenopancreatectomías cefálicas convencionales, 2 duodenopancreatectomías totales convencionales, 2 pancreatectomías centrales convencionales, y una pancreatectomía corporocaudal con preservación del bazo. No se registró mortalidad operatoria (dentro de los 90 días posoperatorios), y presentaron una supervivencia global y libre de enfermedad de 58 y 53 meses, respectivamente. Conclusión: la resección de metástasis pancreáticas, en casos seleccionados, con un abordaje multidisciplinario, y en centros de alto volumen de patología hepatobiliopancreática, es segura y permite buenos resultados oncológicos y de supervivencia global.
ABSTRACT Background: Pancreatic metastases are rare but are likely to be diagnosed more frequently in the future due to the increase in oncology surveillance programs. Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the surgical and oncologic outcomes of a series of patients undergoing surgery for pancreatic metastases. Materials and methods: We conducted a retrospective, descriptive, and multicenter cohort study on patients who underwent pancreatic resections for metastases in the pancreas by the same surgical group between January 2016 and December 2022 in three healthcare providers. Results: A total of 19 patients were operated on, mean age was 59 years (45-79), and 11 were women with good performance status and no other evidence of oncologic disease. Clear cell renal cell carcinoma was the primary tumor in 14 cases (7 diagnosed during surveillance), and the remaining primary tumors were one case of breast ductal carcinoma, one testicular cancer, one colorectal cancer, one melanoma and one cervical cancer. The surgical techniques used were pancreatectomies and splenectomies in 7 patients (5 via laparoscopy and 2 conventional procedures), 4 enucleations (3 conventional procedures and 1 laparoscopic surgery), 3 conventional cephalic pancreaticoduodenectomies, 2 conventional central pancreatectomies and one spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy. No deaths were reported within 90 days of surgery, and overall survival and disease-free survival were 58 and 53 months, respectively. Conclusion: Resection of pancreatic metastases is safe and provides good oncologic outcomes and overall survival when performed with a multidisciplinary approach in centers with a high volume of hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeries and in selected cases.
Résumé
Introducción. El cáncer de riñón es la undécima neoplasia maligna más común en los Estados Unidos Mexicanos. El carcinoma de células claras de riñón (CCR) es considerado la estirpe más frecuente y representa el 2-3 % de todos los cánceres a nivel mundial. En el contexto de la enfermedad metastásica, por lo general se identifica un tumor renal primario y las metástasis se localizan en pulmón, hueso, hígado, cerebro y, raramente, en tejidos blandos. Los pacientes con metástasis a tejidos blandos no tienen síntomas en las etapas iniciales y generalmente se identifican sólo cuando las lesiones aumentan de tamaño o durante el estudio de la pieza de resección quirúrgica. Caso clínico. Se presenta el caso de una paciente en la séptima década de la vida, con una metástasis en tejidos blandos de la región sacra, de 10 años de evolución posterior a una nefrectomía secundario a CCR. Resultados. Hallazgos clínicos e imagenológicos de un tumor bien delimitado. Se realizó resección quirúrgica de la lesión, bajo anestesia regional, con extirpación completa. Conclusión. Se recomienda que los pacientes con un sitio metastásico resecable y solitario sean llevados a resección quirúrgica con márgenes libres, como fue el caso de nuestra paciente, por su fácil acceso y ser una lesión única. En el CCR, además de su tratamiento quirúrgico inicial, es indispensable una estrecha vigilancia con examen físico e imágenes transversales, para detectar la presencia de metástasis y con ello evitar tratamientos tardíos.
Introduction. Kidney cancer is the eleventh most common malignancy in the United States of Mexico. Carcinoma renal cell (CRC) is considered the most frequent type and represents 2-3% of all cancers worldwide. In the setting of metastatic disease, a primary renal tumor is usually identified, and metastases are located in the lung, bone, liver, brain, and rarely in soft tissue. Patients with soft tissue metastases do not have symptoms in the initial stages and are generally found only when the lesions increase in size or during the study of the surgical resection piece. Clinical case. In this case, we report a female patient in the seventh decade of life with a soft tissue metastasis located in the sacral region, 10 years after a nephrectomy secondary to CRC. Results. Clinical and radiological findings of a well-defined tumor. Surgical resection of the lesion is performed under regional anesthesia with complete excision. Conclusions. It is recommended that patients with a resectable and solitary metastatic site be candidates for surgical resection with free margins, as was the case with our patient due to its easy access and single lesion. In CRC, in addition to its initial surgical treatment, close surveillance with physical examination and cross-sectional images is essential to monitor the presence of metastases and thus avoid late treatments.

Objective To investigate the correlation between preoperative MR imaging features and the incidence of tumor metastasis in clear cell renal cell carcinoma.Methods The clinical and preoperative MR imaging data of 64 patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma were analyzed retrospectively.According to the occurrence of metastasis,the patients were divided into non-metastasis group(n=42)and metastasis group(n=22).The clinical and imaging features of the two groups were analyzed with univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression.Results The results of the univariate analysis showed that among the clinical and preoperative MR imaging data,there was no significant difference between the two groups in gender,tumor location and intra-tumoral cystic changes(P>0.05),but the patient's ages,clinical symptoms,tumor sizes,necrosis,capsule breakthrough,low signal nodules in T2WI,venous thrombosis,TNM stages,and Fuhrman grades were significantly different between two groups(P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that low signal nodules in T2WI was an independent predictor of metastasis of clear cell renal cell carcinoma(P=0.028).Combined with diffusion weighted imaging(DWI)sequence,the average apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC)in related areas was measured.The ADC value of low signal nodules area was(0.541±0.101)×10-3 mm2/s in the metastasis group,and the ADC value of non-low signal nodules area was(0.972±0.113)×10-3 mm2/s(P<0.001).Conclusion The metastasis of clear cell renal cell carcinoma is often accompanied by low signal nodules in T2WI in tumors.Combined with the lower ADC value,they can be used as the characteristic imaging features to effectively evaluate the risk of metastasis of clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
Résumé
【Objective】 To summarize the clinicopathological features and prognosis of young patients (18-40 years old) with non-clear cell renal cell carcinoma (nccRCC) treated in a single center to provide reference for the diagnosis and treatment of similar patients. 【Methods】 Clinical data of 113 nccRCC patients treated during Jan. 2012 and Aug. 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, including 57 males (50.4%) and 56 females (49.6%). The average age of onset was (31.6±5.8) years. Among all patients, 57 had lesions (50.4%) on the left side, and 56 (49.6%) on the right side. Young patients undergoing renal cancer surgery accounted for approximately 12.4% of the total number of renal cancer patients undergoing surgery, and nccRCC accounted for 34.8% of the total number of cases. 【Results】 Minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopic or robot-assisted) was performed in 102 cases (90.3%), and open surgery in 11 cases (9.7%). Fifty-five cases (48.7%) underwent partial nephrectomy and 58 (51.3%) radical nephrectomy. Among them, 11 patients (9.7%) developed tumor thrombi. All surgeries were successful with no serious complications. The pathological types included 32 cases (28.3%) of chromophobe renal cell carcinoma, 25 cases (22.1%) of MiT family translocation renal cell carcinoma, and 20 cases (17.7%) of papillary renal cell carcinoma. The total proportion of the three pathological subtypes reached 68.1%. After 46 (2-115) months of follow-up, 8 cases (7.8%, 8/102) developed tumor metastasis and 2 died. 【Conclusion】 The nccRCC is rare in young patients. The major pathological type is chromophobe, and the major treatment method is minimally invasive surgery. Most pathological types have good long-term prognosis, while patients with tumor thrombi have a high risk of metastasis and poor prognosis.
Résumé
Molecularly defined renal carcinoma is a pathologic subtype of renal cell cancer (RCC) with a definite driver gene, which was first proposed in the 2022 WHO classification of tumors of the urinary system and male reproductive organs. The fumarate hydratase-deficient renal cell carcinoma and SMARCB1-deficient renal medullary carcinoma are highly aggressive and lethal subtypes. Due to the low incidence and lack of research on the mechanism, there is almost no effective treatment for these aggressive RCC subtypes. Cytoreductive nephrectomy or metastasectomy are important methods to improve the survival and quality of life of metastatic RCC patients under effective systemic therapy. However, for the highly aggressive RCC, the clinical value of the above surgical strategies is still unclear. In this review, we will discuss these problems in order to provide reference for the improvement of prognosis for patients with highly aggressive RCC subtypes.

Résumé
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the primary malignant neoplasm. The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is crucial to the control of protein level and regulation of physiological and pathological processes. Deubiquitinases (DUBs), key components of UPS, specifically removing ubiquitin chains from the target protein, have showed crucial roles for protein homeostasis and quality control by rigidly regulating the balance between ubiquitination and deubiquitination in normal physiology. Accumulating studies indicate that abnormal function DUBs is associated with the progression and metastasis of RCC. Depending on the substrates, some DUBs may suppress RCC while others promote. Herein, we review recent research advances in RCC-associated DUBs, describe their classification, functional roles, summarize the role and mechanisms of action of DUBs in RCC and discuss the potential of targeting DUBs for cancer treatment.
Résumé
Purpose To investigate the ultrasound imaging characteristics of Xp11.2 translocation/TFE3 gene fusion renal cell carcinoma(Xp11.2/TFE3-tRCC).Materials and Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted of 10 patients with pathologically confirmed Xp11.2/TFE3-tRCC who underwent surgery in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from April 2009 to February 2022.The ultrasonic images were collected and further analyzed,including tumor border,shape,internal echoes,Doppler findings,and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography findings.Results A total of 10 masses were finally included,4 of which underwent contrast-enhanced ultrasound.The ultrasonographic manifestations of Xp11.2/TFE3-tRCC showed diversity and variability,and the mass was most commonly located in the medulla(5 cases).Conventional ultrasound showed solid nodules with clear boundaries and regular shape similar to benign lesions in 6 cases,and color Doppler showed punctated blood flow signals in 5 cases.Contrast-enhanced ultrasound was more inclined to malignant tumors(3 cases),which showed uneven enhancement,mostly accompanied by peripheral uneven enhancement rings.Conclusion Xp11.2/TFE3-tRCC tends to be benign on conventional ultrasound,while contrast-enhanced ultrasound shows malignant lesions.Therefore,contrast enhanced ultrasound can serve as a potential diagnostic tool for suspected Xp11.2/TFE3-tRCC.
Résumé
Abstract Objective The aim of the study was to create two consensus nomograms for predicting Overall Survival (OS) and Cancer-Specific Survival (CSS) in adults with papillary Renal Cell Carcinoma (pRCC). Methods Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results databases, a retrospective analysis of 1,074 adults with pRCC from 2004 to 2015 was performed. These patients were then randomly divided into two independent cohorts with a ratio of 7:3 (training cohort: 752; validation cohort: 322). In a retrospective analysis of 752 patients from the training cohort, independent prognostic variables affecting OS and CSS were found. R software was used to create prognostic nomograms based on the findings of Cox regression analysis. The performance of the nomograms was assessed using the Concordance Index (C-index), the Area Under Curve (AUC), a calibration curve, and Decision Curve Analysis (DCA). Data from the 107 postoperative pRCC patients at the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University were used for external validation of the nomogram. Results For OS and CSS, the C-indices and AUCs of the training cohort and the validation cohort indicated that the model had excellent discrimination. The DCA demonstrated that the model was clinically applicable, and the calibration curves in the internal and external validations showed that the model's accuracy was high. Conclusion The authors developed and validated a prognostic nomogram that accurately predicted the 3-, 5-, and 8-year OS and CSS of adults with pRCC. Clinicians can use this knowledge to direct the clinical management and counseling of patients with pRCC.

SUMMARY: We investigated the expression and clinical significance of miR-15b-5p in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) through bioinformatics analysis and experimental verification. The differentially expressed miRNAs were screened in the GEO database. Venn diagram showed that there were 5 up-regulated miRNAs (has-miR-210, has-miR-142-3p, has-miR-142-5p, has-miR-15b-5p, and has-miR-193a-3p) and only 1 down-regulated miRNA (has-miR-532-3p) that were commonly expressed between GSE189331 and GSE16441 datasets. This was further confirmed in TCGA. Further analysis showed that the has-miR-193a-3p, has-miR-142-3p, has- miR-142-5p, and has-miR-15b-5p were closely related to tumor invasion, distant metastasis and survival probability. The expression of miR-15b-5p in ccRCC tissues was significantly higher than that in adjacent normal kidney tissues (P0.05). Following inhibition of miR-15b-5p expression, RCC cells had attenuated proliferation, increased apoptosis, and attenuated migration and invasion. has-miR-15b-5p-WEE1, has-miR-15b-5p-EIF4E, has-miR-15b-5p-PPP2R1B may be three potential regulatory pathways in ccRCC. miR-15b-5p is highly expressed in cancer tissues of ccRCC patients. It may promote proliferation, inhibit apoptosis and enhance cell migration and invasion of RCC cells. The has-miR-15b-5p-WEE1, has-miR-15b-5p-EIF4E, and has-miR-15b-5p-PPP2R1B may be three potential regulatory pathways in ccRCC.
Investigamos la expresión y la importancia clínica de miR-15b-5p en el carcinoma de células renales (CCR) de células claras mediante análisis bioinformático y verificación experimental. Los miARN expresados diferencialmente se examinaron en la base de datos GEO. El diagrama de Venn mostró que había 5 miARN regulados positivamente (has-miR-210, has-miR-142-3p, has-miR-142-5p, has-miR-15b-5p y has-miR-193a-3p). ) y solo 1 miARN regulado negativamente (has-miR-532-3p) que se expresaron comúnmente entre los conjuntos de datos GSE189331 y GSE16441. Esto fue confirmado aún más en TCGA. Un análisis más detallado mostró que has-miR-193a-3p, has-miR-142-3p, has- miR-142-5p y has-miR-15b-5p estaban estrechamente relacionados con la invasión tumoral, la metástasis a distancia y la probabilidad de supervivencia. La expresión de miR-15b-5p en tejidos ccRCC fue significativamente mayor que la de los tejidos renales normales adyacentes (P 0,05). Tras la inhibición de la expresión de miR-15b-5p, las células RCC tuvieron una proliferación atenuada, un aumento de la apoptosis y una migración e invasión atenuadas. has-miR-15b-5p-WEE1, has- miR-15b-5p-EIF4E, has-miR-15b-5p-PPP2R1B pueden ser tres posibles vías reguladoras en ccRCC. miR-15b-5p se expresa altamente en tejidos cancerosos de pacientes con ccRCC. Puede promover la proliferación, inhibir la apoptosis y mejorar la migración celular y la invasión de células RCC. has-miR-15b-5p-WEE1, has- miR-15b-5p-EIF4E y has-miR-15b-5p-PPP2R1B pueden ser tres posibles vías reguladoras en ccRCC.

Resumen El carcinoma renal de células claras (CRCC) es una neoplasia maligna poco común que representa el 3% de todos los tumores malignos en adultos. Este tumor presenta una alta tendencia a desarrollar metástasis sincrónicas o metacrónicas en diferentes sitios anató micos. Aunque la metástasis en la vesícula biliar por CRCC es extremadamente rara, se han reportado casos esporádicos en la literatura médica. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 78 años con antecedentes de carcinoma indiferenciado de cavum, carcinoma basocelular y CRCC en riñón derecho. Se sometió a nefrectomía radical. El análisis histopatológico confirmó el diagnóstico de CRCC sin invasión vascular ni ureteral. Dos años después, du rante el seguimiento, se detectó una lesión nodular en la vesícula biliar mediante tomografía computarizada. A pesar de la ausencia de síntomas, se decidió la resección quirúrgica. Se realizó colecistectomía laparoscópica sin complicaciones. El examen histopatológico confirmó la presencia de metástasis de CRCC en la vesícula biliar. La paciente evolucionó favorablemente encontrándose en seguimiento sin recurrencia. La metástasis vesicular por CRCC es extremadamente rara, pero los cirujanos deben considerarla en pacientes con antecedentes de CRCC. El diagnóstico diferencial prequirúrgico entre el carcinoma primario de vesícula biliar y la metástasis de CRCC puede ser desafiante y, a menudo, se confirma mediante el examen histopatológi co. La resección quirúrgica completa parece ser la mejor opción de tratamiento para lograr una supervivencia libre de enfermedad.
Abstract Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is an uncom mon malignant neoplasm that accounts for 3% of all malignant tumors in adults. This tumor exhibits a high tendency to develop synchronous or metachronous me tastases in different anatomical sites. Although gallblad der metastasis from ccRCC is extremely rare, sporadic cases have been reported in the medical literature. We present the case of a 78-year-old woman with a history of undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, and ccRCC in the right kidney. She un derwent radical nephrectomy. Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of ccRCC without vascular or ureteral invasion. Two years later, during follow-up, a nodular lesion was detected in the gallbladder through computed tomography. Despite the absence of symp toms, surgical resection was decided. Laparoscopic cho lecystectomy was performed without complications. Histopathological examination confirmed the presence of ccRCC metastasis in the gallbladder. The patient had a favorable outcome and is currently under follow-up without recurrence. Gallbladder metastasis from ccRCC is extremely rare, but surgeons should consider this possibility in patients with a history of ccRCC. Preoperative differential diagno sis between primary gallbladder carcinoma and ccRCC metastasis can be challenging and is often confirmed through histopathological examination. Complete sur gical resection is the best treatment option to achieve disease-free survival.
Résumé
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common subtype of adult renal tumors, and its detection rate in the early stages has been increased in the dawn of advanced imaging modalities. Nephrectomy is the mainstay of treatment; determination of tumor category and staging is the primary concern of oncopathologists. Non-neoplastic renal parenchyma is overlooked majority of times and thus misses the opportunity to detect concomitant medical renal diseases which also predict the renal outcome in the postoperative era. Although any kind of glomerular or extraglomerular pathology may be encountered, vascular changes in the form of arterionephrosclerosis are the commonest one. Here, we take the opportunity to report an unusual association of heavy chain deposition disease (HCDD) with clear cell subtypes of renal cell carcinoma in a 48-year-old male of Indian ethnicity.
Résumé
Oral cavity metastatic tumors derived from primary tumors from other corporal regions are rare, representing barely 1 % of all malignant tumors. Differential diagnosis of these lesions is challenging due to the wide spectrum of lesions with similar clinical presentation and especially when the presence of a primary tumor goes undetected. We present the case of a 55-year-old male with a painless tumor in the anterior maxillary region, vestibular gingiva and palate, with a 2-month evolution. Anatomopathological diagnosis was malignant clear cell tumor, highly suggestive of clear cell renal carcinoma metastasis, and the oral lesion constituted the first sign of illness.
Los tumores metastásicos de cavidad oral derivados de tumores primarios de otras regiones corporales son raros, representando apenas el 1 % de todos los tumores malignos. El diagnóstico diferencial de estas lesiones es desafiante debido al amplio espectro de lesiones con presentación clínica similar y especialmente cuando la presencia de un tumor primario pasa desapercibida. Presentamos el caso de un varón de 55 años con una tumoración indolora en región maxilar anterior, encía vestibular y paladar, de 2 meses de evolución. El diagnóstico anatomopatológico fue de tumor maligno de células claras, altamente sugestivo de metástasis de carcinoma renal de células claras, y la lesión bucal constituyó el primer signo de enfermedad.

Background: CXCL13, B-lymphocyte chemoattractant, has been associated with many diseases and cancers. One of the malignancies that CXCL13 has been investigated is clear cell renal cell carcinomas which are the most common subtype of renal cancers. Aims and Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the immunohistochemical staining patterns of CXCL13 in clear cell renal cell carcinomas and to determine its relationship with pathological tumor stage, risk factors, and prognostic parameters. Materials and Methods: In this study, 99 patients who underwent partial/radical nephrectomy diagnosed with clear cell renal cell carcinoma were included. Four micron sections were taken from paraffin embedded blocks containing sufficient tumor and kidney tissue. Samples were immunohistochemically stained with CXCL13 antibody. During microscopic examination, CXCL13 positive stained cells in ten high magnification fields were counted and evaluated using a semiquantitative H score: 3 × strongly stained + 2 × moderately stained + 1 × weakly stained. The cut-off value was set as 40 for values between 0 and 300. The low and high stained groups were compared with prognostic parameters and risk factors. Statistics: The difference of continuous variables between the two groups was examined with the t test and the distribution of categorical variables with the Chi-square test. A value of P < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results: The number of lymphocytes stained with CXCL13 in the tumor was higher than in the normal kidney parenchyma (p = 0.07). Intratumoral lymphocytes were highly stained with CXCL13 in 57.5% of pT3 cases and 31.7% of pT1 cases. The amount of intratumoral lymphocytes stained with CXCL13 increased in advanced pathological stages (p = 0.05). Nonsmoking cases were mostly in the low staining group (p = 0.06). Conclusion: The relationship we found between advanced pathological stage and intratumoral CXCL13 staining in our study suggests that CXCL13 has a prognostic value in this cancer.
