ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Skull base metastases (SBM) are an infrequent and late type of cancer progression that are associated to poor prognosis. Its clinical manifestations may be grouped in five clinical syndromes and radiotherapy is its more frequent treatment. Because of the improvement in imaging tests and the close follow up of cancer patients, SBM can be diagnosed incidentally. In this group the best option of treatment has not been established. AIM: To analyze the clinical features and outcomes of patients with SBM diagnosed incidentally. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between January 2012 and December 2015, 31 patients with diagnoses of SBM from solid primary tumor were reviewed. RESULTS: SBM were diagnosed due to skull base syndromes (n = 24) or incidentally (n = 7). Symptomatic patients were treated with radiotherapy. Patients diagnosed incidentally remained without symptoms of craneal base involvement during the follow up, although they frequently had other types of intracranial progression. A statistically significant difference in survival was observed between symptomatic and asymptomatic patients (p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The incidentally diagnosed SBM were frequently associated to other types of intracranial progression, limiting the options of treatment.


TITLE: Metastasis asintomaticas de la base craneal: evolucion clinica y alternativas terapeuticas.Introduccion. Las metastasis sintomaticas de la base craneal (MBC) son una progresion infrecuente, tardia y de mal pronostico en pacientes con tumores solidos. Sus manifestaciones clinicas pueden agruparse en cinco sindromes caracteristicos, y su tratamiento mas frecuente es la radioterapia. Gracias a los progresos tecnologicos en las pruebas de imagen y al seguimiento estrecho de los pacientes con cancer, las MBC pueden diagnosticarse incidentalmente. En este subgrupo no se conoce la evolucion clinica ni se ha establecido la mejor modalidad de tratamiento. Objetivo. Analizar las caracteristicas clinicas y la evolucion de los pacientes diagnosticados incidentalmente de MBC. Pacientes y metodos. Entre enero de 2012 y diciembre de 2015, 31 pacientes con una neoplasia solida diagnosticados de MBC fueron valorados por nuestro servicio. Resultados. Las MBC se diagnosticaron por la presencia de un sindrome de base craneal (n = 24) o incidentalmente (n = 7). Los pacientes sintomaticos fueron tratados con radioterapia. Todos los pacientes diagnosticados incidentalmente permanecieron sin sintomas relacionados con la afectacion de la base craneal hasta la fecha del fallecimiento, aunque frecuentemente presentaron de forma concomitante otros tipos de progresion intracraneal de mal pronostico. Se observo una diferencia estadisticamente significativa en la supervivencia a favor de los pacientes sintomaticos (p = 0,001). Conclusiones. Las MBC diagnosticadas incidentalmente se asociaron frecuentemente a otros tipos de progresion intracraneal, limitando las opciones terapeuticas.

ABSTRACT

La preservación de la función en el tratamiento de los sarcomas de tejidos blandos (STB) se consigue por medio de resecciones marginales, reconstrucción de tejidos blandos y terapia adyuvante sin que ello implique un aumento en las tasas de recidiva local, de metástasis o de mortalidad; exigen un abordaje multidisciplinario por lo que es necesario coordinar, bajo la forma de Comisión, a los diferentes especialistas que intervienen en las fases diagnóstica y terapéutica. Este es un artículo de revisión del diagnóstico y tratamiento de los sarcomas de tejidos blandos con motivo de la presentación del protocolo establecido en el Hospital de Basurto (Bilbao, España), vigente desde febrero de 2001 que intenta asegurar que los pacientes se beneficien de un tratamiento óptimo (AU)


The preservation of the function in the treatment of Soft Tissue Sarcomas (STS) has been achieved by means of marginal resections, reconstruction of soft tissues and adjuvant therapy without it implies an increase in the rates of local relapse, metastasis or mortality. It demands a multidisciplinary orientation for what is necessary to coordinate, under the form of Commission, the different specialists that take part in the diagnostic and therapeutic phases. This is a review article of the diagnosis and treatment of soft tissues sarcomas because of the protocol presentation settled down in the Hospital of Basurto (Bilbao, España), effective from February of 2001, that tries to assure patient’s benefit with optimal care (AU)

ABSTRACT

La captación, registro y seguimiento de los pacientes que padecen un tumor de partes blandas es un proceso necesario para asegurar que el paciente es tratado, para coordinar, de una forma completa y sin demoras las fases diagnóstica y terapéutica, y para valorar los resultados de los protocolos aplicados. Entre febrero de 2001 y julio de 2002 fueron presentados 106 pacientes en el Comité de Tumores de Partes Blandas (CTPB) del Hospital de Basurto (Bilbao, España). En esta publicación hacemos un informe descriptivo de la actividad de nuestro Comité y de su funcionamiento (AU)


The reception, registration and follow-up of patients that suffer from a soft tissue tumour are a necessary process to assure adecuate treatment of those patients, to coordinate, in a comprehensive way and without delays, the diagnostic and therapeutic steps and to evaluate the results of the applied protocols. Between February 2001 and July 2002, 106 patients were visited at the Soft Tissue Tumours Committee of the Hospital de Basurto (Bilbao, Espa- ña). In this publication we make a description of the patients included in our protocol and a comment on the way of working of the Committee (AU)
