RESUMEN

Ameloblastoma is known as a benign, slow-growing, rare, odontogenic neoplasm. The solid/multicystic, the unicystic with a fibrous connective-tissue capsule and the peripheral ameloblastoma represent the three well distinguished clinical types of ameloblastoma. Surgical resection with an attempt to achieve adequate free margins constitutes a well documented and accepted treatment modality. Controversies exist, however, with regard to the extent of operative intervention. Patients with inadequate or positive surgical margins or unresectable lesions can be treated with radiation or combined radiation and chemotherapy. The authors present a review of this sparse disease focusing on the special role and efficacy of radiation therapy in its management.

RESUMEN

During the last decade, the development of new drugs known as targeted therapies was the result of a better understanding of the processes involved in the transformation of normal cells into cancer. The term targeted therapy refers to drugs that selectively target specific molecular pathways involved in tumorigenesis or tumour progression. Angiogenesis is important for tumour growth and metastasis, and is an important target for new biological agents. Bevacizumab is a humanised recombinant antibody that prevents vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor binding, and inhibits angiogenesis and tumour growth. On February 26, 2004, the Food and Drug Administration approved bevacizumab as first-line treatment for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC). The integration of targeted therapies in the treatment of colon cancer has resulted in significant improvements in efficacy outcomes. The efficacy of bevacizumab in the treatment of metastatic CRC is presented in this review article.

RESUMEN

According to several studies, even the locoregional irradiation of patients with carcinoma can cause a severe and rather alarming cellular immune defect. We thus designed a prospective research in order to study the effect of post-operative irradiation on cellular immunity in patients suffering from breast cancer. In 35 patients with breast cancer who required post-operative irradiation, four blood samples were taken at indicated point times. Nineteen out of 35 patients received post-surgical chemotherapy before irradiation. The total lymphocytes as well as CD4 and CD8 subpopulations were measured by using flow cytometry analysis. The mean T-lymphocyte (Tol) count dropped from 1487.77 to 1227.91 (P = 0.0013) and the CD4+ count from 674.17 to 580.91 (P = 0.0189). The mean value of CD8+ dropped from 421.31 to 314.00 (P = 0.0003). Moreover, a statistically significant difference regarding the pattern of temporal change was observed between a group of patients that received irradiation only and a group that received radiation therapy (RT) with chemotherapy (P-values 0.0015, 0.01 and 0.092 for Tol, CD4+ and CD8+ respectively). The group of patients that received RT only presented a more rapid decrease of Tol concerning the decrease observed in the group that underwent chemotherapy and RT.

RESUMEN

The substantial augmentation of the radiation sequelae during chemo-radiotherapy with novel drugs masks the real potential of such regimens. In this study we examined whether subcutaneous administration of amifostine can reduce the toxicity of a highly aggressive chemo-radiotherapy scheme with Stealth liposomal doxorubicin (Caelyx and Docetaxel (Taxotere in non-small cell lung cancer. Twenty-five patients with stage IIIb non-small cell lung cancer were recruited in a phase I/II dose escalation trial. The starting dose of Taxotere was 20 mg m(-2) week and of Caelyx was 15 mg m(-2) every two weeks, during conventionally fractionated radiotherapy (total dose of 64 Gy). The dose of Taxotere/Caelyx was, thereafter, increased to 20/25 (five patients) and 30/25 mg m(-2) (15 patients). Amifostine 500 mg was given subcutaneously before each radiotherapy fraction, while an i.v. amifostine dose of 1000 mg preceded the infusion of docetaxel. The 'in-field' radiation toxicity was low. Grade 3 esophagitis occurred in 9 out of 25 (36%) patients. Apart from a marked reduction of the lymphocyte counts, the regimen was deprived from any haematological toxicity higher than grade 1. No other systemic toxicity was noted. The CR and CR/PR rates in 15 patients treated at the highest dose level was 40% (6 out of 15) and 87% (13 out of 15) respectively. It is concluded that the subcutaneous administration of amifostine during high dose Taxotere/Caelyx chemo-radiotherapy is a simple and effective way to render this aggressive regimen perfectly well tolerated, by reducing the systemic and the 'in-field' toxicity to the levels expected from simple conventional radiotherapy. The impressive tolerance and the high CR rate obtained encourages the conduct of a relevant randomized trial to assess an eventual survival benefit in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
