RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Everolimus-induced pneumonitis (EiP) has been poorly studied in patients with neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) outside clinical trials. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of EiP in patients with NENs using real-world data. METHODS: Retrospective study of everolimus-treated patients with advanced NENs. Imaging reports were systematically reviewed for the presence of pneumonitis. Clinical features and treatment profiles for EiP were summarized. Overall survival (OS) was calculated from the initiation of everolimus to the date of death or last follow-up using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS: A total of 122 patients were included. Median age at start of everolimus was 62 (19-86) years, 62% (76/122) were male, and half were from pancreatic origin (62, 51%). Twenty-eight patients (23%) developed EiP: 82% grade (G)1 or G2, 14% G3 and 4% G4. The median time to EiP was 3.6 (0.8-51) months. Primary tumor site, concurrent lung disease, smoking history, and prior therapies were not associated with the onset of EiP. Patients who developed EiP had longer time on everolimus treatment (median 18 months vs 6 months; P = .0018) and OS (77 months vs 52 months; P = .093). Everolimus-induced pneumonitis was a predictor of improved OS by multivariable analysis (HR 0.39, 95% CI 0.19-0.82; P = .013). CONCLUSION: Everolimus-induced pneumonitis in the real-world clinical setting is present in one quarter of patients with NENs receiving everolimus and often occurs early. While risk factors for EiP were not identified, patients with EiP had improved survival.

RESUMEN

Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is an aggressive disease that shows evident geographic variation and is characterized by a poor prognosis, mainly due to the late diagnosis and ineffective treatment. Genetic variants associated with GBC susceptibility, including polymorphisms within the toll-like receptors TLR2 and TLR4, the cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1), and the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter ABCG8 genes, represent promising biomarkers for the stratification of patients at higher risk of GBC; thus, showing potential to prioritize cholecystectomy, particularly considering that early diagnosis is difficult due to the absence of specific signs and symptoms. Similarly, our better understanding of the gallbladder carcinogenic processes has led to identify several cellular and molecular events that may influence patient management, including HER2 aberrations, high tumor mutational burden, microsatellite instability, among others. Despite these reports on interesting and promising markers for risk assessment, diagnosis, and prognosis; there is an unmet need for reliable and validated biomarkers that can improve the management of GBC patients and support clinical decision-making. This review article examines the most potentially significant biomarkers of susceptibility, diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy selection for GBC patients, highlighting the need to find and validate existing and new molecular biomarkers to improve patient outcomes.
