RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: The College of General Hospital Respiratory Physicians (CPHG) is following up the KBP-2000-CPHG study, performed ten years ago, with a new observational epidemiological study of primary lung cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study includes all new cases of primary lung cancer diagnosed on histology or cytology between 1 January and 31 December 2010 and managed by one of the general hospital pneumology departments participating in the study. The primary objective is to estimate five-year mortality and to analyze risk factors. Secondary objectives are to describe the characteristics of this patient population and their management, and to estimate one, four and five-year survival rates. These data will be compared to those of the KBP-2000-CPHG study. The four-year prognosis score developed in 2000 will also be assessed in the new study. Data are collected by standardized questionnaire with exhaustiveness control. EXPECTED RESULTS: One hundred and eight investigating centers have agreed to participate; 4000 to 5000 new cases of primary lung cancer should be collected and analyzed. CONCLUSION: The study will describe the characteristics of patients presenting with primary lung cancer in the participating pneumology departments during the year 2010, and their diagnostic and therapeutic management, and assess changes over the last ten years.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Neuroborreliosis can be a difficult diagnosis which requires epidemiologic, clinical and biologic arguments. CASE REPORTS: We report two patients who presented with a recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy with positive Lyme serology and favorable outcome after antibiotic therapy. In one case, a lymphocytic meningitis with intrathecal production of specific antibodies was evidenced. CONCLUSION: Recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy is an uncommon manifestation of neuroborreliosis. Lyme serology is an important tool when neurologic disorder occurs because of an atypical course of Lyme disease.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Brain metastases (BM) considerably worsen the prognosis of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. The usefulness and choice of chemotherapy remain uncertain in this indication since these patients are excluded from most clinical trials. We conducted a phase II study to determine the efficacy and tolerability of up-front chemotherapy with association of temozolomide and cisplatin in NSCLC patients with BM. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Fifty NSCLC patients with BM received temozolomide (200 mg/m(2)/day for 5 days every 28 days) and cisplatin (75 mg/m(2) at day 1 of each cycle), up to six cycles, followed by whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT). An evaluation was carried out every two cycles and after WBRT. WBRT was performed earlier in case of progressive disease at any time or stable disease after cycle 4. RESULTS: Eight objective responses were achieved (16%). Overall median survival was 5 months. Median time to progression was 2.3 months. Ten patients (20%) presented a grade 3/4 neutropenia and 11 patients (22%) presented a grade 3/4 thrombopenia. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates a lack of efficacy of up-front chemotherapy with association of temozolomide and cisplatin in these patients. Nevertheless, it supports the feasibility of chemotherapy before brain radiotherapy in NSCLC patients with BM.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of gemcitabine and carboplatin in the treatment of previously untreated patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS: A randomized phase II study was conducted by the Groupe Français de Pneumo-Cancérologie (GFPC) in 15 centers. The patients were randomized in either arm A (GC): gemcitabine 1250 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8+carboplatin AUC 6 mg/(mLmin) on day 1; or in arm B (VP): vinorelbine 30 mg/m2 weekly+cisplatin 80 mg/m2 on day 1. Treatment cycles were repeated every 3 weeks. RESULTS: A total of 100 patients were randomized with stage IV or stage III NSCLC with malignant pleural effusion: 51 patients in arm A and 49 patients in arm B. A total of 190 cycles were administered in the GC arm and 172 cycles in the VP arm, with a median of four cycles per patient in each arm. The dose intensity was 84.9% for gemcitabine, 99.8% for carboplatin, 97.7% for cisplatin and 67.7% for vinorelbine. The objective response rates were 19.6% (95% CI, 9.8-33.1) for GC and 29.2% (95% CI, 17.0-44.1) for VP in an ITT analysis. The response duration was 169 days in arm A and 226 days in arm B. The TTP was similar with 140 days (GC) and 148 days (VP), respectively. Overall survival rates were 334 days in the GC combination and 304 days in the VP combination. Overall, the treatment was safe and toxicities observed were different in each arm: neutropenia was the most common toxicity in the VP treatment, whereas thrombocytopenia was more frequent in the GC combination. Anemia was similar in both arms. Non-haematologic toxicity was mild. One toxic death in arm A and three toxic deaths in arm B were observed. CONCLUSION: In terms of response rate, the gemcitabine-carboplatin combination was not efficient enough to allow further phase III study. Survival data are in the same range as the standard arm. This chemotherapy is feasible and may represent an alternative to a standard cisplatin-based regimen, allowing treatment in an outpatient setting.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: No standard treatment is defined for elderly patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Carboplatin and etoposide are highly active agents against SCLC. In this study, we evaluated the activity and toxicity of a combination of these two agents. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Thirty-four untreated patients with limited or extensive SCLC and median age of 73.9 years entered the study. Chemotherapy consisted of carboplatin i.v. on day 1 (AUC 5 using Calvert's formula) and etoposide 100 mg/m(2) given orally on days 1-5, every 4 weeks, and thoracic irradiation was given to limited disease patients after chemotherapy. RESULTS: The overall response rates was 59% (95% CI: 43-76). The median survival for all patients was 37 weeks (range 3-76 weeks). The toxicity was mainly haematological with grade 3-4 neutropenia in 59% of courses, febrile neutropenia in 15% of courses, and toxic death in 9% of patients. CONCLUSION: The results of this regimen are disappointing with worse response and survival, and more haematological toxicity than expected and previously reported, despite the use of Calvert's formula. Possible explanations are the use of etoposide per os rather than i.v., the frequent comorbidities of older patients and the inclusion of patients with poor prognosis factors.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: We initiated at Hospital de Mulhouse a prospective phase II study to assess a split-course concurrent radiochemotherapy in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From March 1996 to December 1997, 28 patients were included in our study. All patients had a stage III cancer. The chemotherapy scheduled included vinorelbine (20 mg/m2/d, d1 and d5), cisplatin (20 mg/m2/d, from d1 to d5), and 5-Fluorouracil (350 mg/m2/d, from d1 to d5 by continuous infusion). The planned irradiation dose was 12.5 Gy per week with one daily fraction of 2.5 Gy from d1 to d5. Cycles were repeated every four weeks, for four cycles (50 Gy). Patients with a partial or complete response were proposed a fifth cycle. RESULTS: Of the 28 patients of the study, only 27 were analysed; one patient had a metastatic disease at diagnosis. Major hematologic toxicity occurred in 26% of the patients. One to five cycles of chemoradiotherapy were administrated per patient (median: four). Four patients had received fewer than three cycles and their responses were not assessable. Of the 23 patients assessed, 12 responses (52%) were observed, three CR (13%) and nine PR (39%). Median follow-up was 14 months, and median survival 13.5 months. One- and two-year survival rates were respectively 63% and 14%. Local control rates was 11%, and 44% of the patients had a metastatic evolution. CONCLUSION: Very preliminary results of this phase II study are disappointing, and quite inferior to the published results using chemoradiotherapy with conventional or hyperfractionated radiotherapy. Hematologic toxicity is restrictive. This type of chemoradiotherapy cannot be recommended.

RESUMEN

We report the case of a patient, 62-year-old, with a non small cell lung cancer treated by right pneumonectomy followed by chemo and radiotherapy. After surgery appeared a refractory hypoxemia increasing with supine position. Cardiac catheterism showed a right left shunt by reopening of the "foramen ovale". We have performed foramen's occlusion by endovascular method with prothetic material with good result until the death, 14 months later, by neoplasic evolution.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Type 1 neurofibromatosis considerably increases the risk of cancer development, particularly neurosarcoma. We report a case in a patient with chemosensitive metastatic neurosarcoma. CASE REPORT: A young female patient with familial type 1 neurofibromatosis developed pleural metastasis of a neurosarcoma located on the arm. This tumor was initially highly sensitive to chemotherapy, but relapse occurred. DISCUSSION: Follow-up in the order members of the family was particularly difficult to organize. One sister developed cerebral astrocytoma. Neurosarcomas develop earlier in patients with type 1 neurofibromatosis, worsening prognosis. We suggest a prospective and structured registration of such cases using a network of clinicians and pathologists in order to improve management schemes.

RESUMEN

This report describes a case of paraneoplastic neurological syndrome associating a subacute sensory neuronopathy and an intestinal pseudo-obstruction in a 64-year old man with a small cell lung cancer. Various paraneoplastic neurological syndromes have been described in association with small cell lung cancer. In our patient anti-Hu antibodies were identified by indirect immunohistochemistry and western-blot analysis. This antibody constitutes an informative tool in assessing the paraneoplastic origin of neurologic symptoms when the etiological inquiry is negative. Its positivity is important in promoting the search for an underlying malignancy and should lead to repeat investigations if the first investigations are normal.

RESUMEN

We report a 72 patients trial, who had surgical treatments for non small cell lung cancer, stage II (T1N1, T2N1). In our retrospective study, the overall 5-years survival is 44%, with a 24-month median survival. 45% of the patients have recurrence mainly due to distant metastasis. State II appears to be an heterogeneous group. As shown in other studies, the presence of hilar nodes (N1H) seems to be linked with a pejorative outcome. In our series, the survival associated with Lobar N1 (N1L) disease is the same as the survival of Hilar N1 disease, but the initial sites of recurrence differ. The interest of a postchirurgical treatment is controversial. The postoperative radiotherapy reduces the local recurrence without increasing the survival. The chemotherapy treatment is debatable and several studies are under way. We reviewed the different causes of death. The appearance of second cancer in the cured patients is very frequent.

RESUMEN

Bronchogenic carcinoma is the most frequent carcinoma of men and affect more often old patients. Medical oncologists and pneumologists don't treat or treat with less intensive therapies patients older than 70 or 75 years compared with younger patients. That behaviour is not based on scientific criterias. The majority of the published studies are in fact retrospective with a lot of biases (especially selection of patients). It doesn't seem that nephrotoxicity is greater in older patients with cisplatinum but the neurological, digestive and medullary toxicities are more important in older than in younger patients.

RESUMEN

We report the cases of two males who presented with spontaneous complete unilateral pneumothorax with ipisilateral liquid effusion. Neither had a history of previous respiratory disease. In both cases chest tube drainage resulted in recurrence of pneumothorax with chronic illness requiring surgical exploration. The surgery revealed a malignant pleural mesothelioma by histological examination. Thus, spontaneous pneumothorax, particularly with abondant effusion can be a revealing symptom of malignant pleural mesothelioma.
