RESUMEN

It has been proposed that the onset of Acquired Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (iTTP) is more severe than subsequent relapses; however, existing studies have limitations. We conducted a retrospective observational study to compare analytical and clinical severity of onset and relapse aTTP cases between 2012 and 2023. A total of 370 episodes of aTTP were analyzed, comprising 272 at initial diagnosis and 98 relapses. At onset, analytical parameters indicative of severity (low hemoglobin, low platelet count, and increased LDH) were significantly worse; patients had severe neurological symptoms (p<0.001) and ≥ 3 points in the TMA mortality score (p<0.001). In conclusion, the onset of aTTP is associated with worse analytical parameters and severe neurological involvement.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The prognosis of the lymph node ratio (LNR) in Vater's ampulla carcinomas (VACs) is recently studied. However, there are not enough data in several populations like Latin American people. Our aim is to demonstrate the prognosis significance of the LNR in this setting. METHODS: Pancreaticoduodenectomies for VACs were identified (n=128) from 1980 through 2015. Based on a ROC curve, a cut-off point of 0.1 was assigned for the LNR and the population was divided into two groups for comparison. RESULTS: The LNR ≥0.1 group was statistically significant associated with recurrence (38.5% vs. 19.5%), pT3-T4 tumors (69.2% vs. 29.3%), poorly differentiated tumors (46.2% vs. 17.5%), lymphovascular invasion (61.5 vs. 17.1%), perineural invasion (38.5% vs. 19.5%), and positive margins (15.4% vs. 2.4%). In the multivariate analysis, LNR (HR 2.891; CI: 1.987-3.458, P=0.02), LNM (HR 2.945; CI: 2.478-3.245, P=0.002), perineural invasion (HR 3.327; CI: 3.172-4.156, P=0.003), and recurrence (HR 3.490; CI: 2.896-4.122, P=0.001) were associated with lower survival. CONCLUSIONS: The LNR is a good predictor of survival and worse oncological outcomes for VACs after resection.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Colorectal medullary carcinoma (MC) is a rare subtype of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma (PDA) with unclear prognostic significance. Microsatellite instable (MSI) colorectal carcinomas have demonstrated better prognosis in clinical stage II. AIM: To analyze the survival and clinicopathological characteristics of MCs versus PDAs with MSI in clinical stage III. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We studied 22 cases of PDAs with MSI versus 10 MCs. RESULTS: Of the 10 MCs, 7 patients were men; the mean age was 57.8 ±5.6 years. The mean tumor size was 9.6 ±4.1 cm, and the primary site was the right colon in 9; 7 patients showed lymph node metastases (LNM) and lymphovascular invasion (LVI). Of the 22 PDA cases, 12 (54.5%) were women with a mean age of 75 ±16.1 years. The mean tumor size was 6.4 ±3.2 cm. Twelve (54.5%) presented in the right colon, 21 (95.5%) showed LNM and 7 (31.8%) LVI. Follow-up was 32 ±8 months, with a 5-year overall survival of 42.9% for MCs and 76.6% for PDAs (p = 0.048). Univariate analysis found local recurrence (p = 0.001) and medullary subtype (p = 0.043) associated with lower survival. CONCLUSIONS: Medullary carcinomas were of greater tumor size and associated with more LVI and worse survival versus PDAs with MSI in stage III.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Most cases of rectal cancer (RC) in our institution are in pathologic stage T3. They are a heterogeneous group but have been classified in a single-stage category. We performed the present study to validate the prognostic significance of the mesorectal extension depth (MED) in T3 RC measured in millimeters beyond the muscularis propria plane. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis of 104 patients with T3 RC who had undergone curative surgery after a course of preoperative chemoradiotherapy at a tertiary referral cancer hospital. The patients were grouped by MED (T3a, < 1 mm; T3b, 1-5 mm; T3c > 5-10 mm; and T3d > 10 mm). The clinicopathologic data and disease-free survival were analyzed. RESULTS: The 5-year disease-free survival rate according to the T3 subclassification was 87.5% for those with T3a, 57.9% for T3b, 38.7% for T3c, and 40.3% for those with T3d tumors (P = .050). On univariate and multivariate analysis, the prognostic factors affecting survival were overall recurrence (hazard ratio [HR], 3.670; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.710-7.837; P = .001), histologic grade (HR, 2.204; 95% CI, 1.156-4.199; P = .016), mesorectal invasion depth (HR, 1.885; 95% CI, 1.164-3.052; P = .010), and lymph node metastasis (HR, 1.211; 95% CI, 1.015-1.444; P = .033). CONCLUSION: MED is a significant prognostic factor in patients with T3 RC who have undergone neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, especially when the MED is > 5 mm. The MED could be as important as other clinicopathologic factors in predicting disease-specific survival.
