RESUMO

Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common primary intraocular tumor in adults, and despite excellent local control, more than 50% of patients develop and die from metastatic disease. Loss of BAP1 nuclear staining, a surrogate marker of BAP1 mutation, and preferentially expressed antigen in melanoma (PRAME) messenger RNA overexpression, as assessed using qPCR, have previously been shown to correlate with increased metastasis rate in UM. In this study, we demonstrated that UM could be successfully risk-stratified using a combination of BAP1 and PRAME immunohistochemical (IHC) stains. We retrospectively reviewed 318 UM cases with sufficient tissue and performed BAP1 and PRAME IHC to stratify them as BAP1+/PRAME- (group 1, n = 135), BAP1+/PRAME+ (group 2, n = 43), BAP1-/PRAME- (group 3, n = 94), and BAP1-/PRAME+ (group 4, n = 46). Increasing the study risk group on the basis of loss of BAP1 expression and positive PRAME staining was associated with a higher rate of metastasis and disease-specific death and lower metastasis-free survival (MFS) and disease-specific survival (DSS). Among tumors with loss of BAP1 staining, PRAME positivity was associated with shorter MFS (P = .018) and showed a trend toward shorter DSS (P = .061). Among tumors with retained BAP1 staining, PRAME positivity was associated with shorter MFS and DSS (P = .001 and P = .021, respectively). In summary, a combination of BAP1 and PRAME IHC can be used for risk stratification of UMs.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To evaluate the risk factors for retinal tear (RT) or rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) associated with acute, symptomatic posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) in a large comprehensive eye care setting. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 8305 adult patients in the Kaiser Permanente Northern California Healthcare System (KPNC) during calendar year 2018 who met inclusion criteria. METHODS: The KPNC electronic medical record was queried to capture acute, symptomatic PVD events. Each chart was reviewed to confirm diagnoses and capture specific data elements from the patient history and ophthalmic examination. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Presence of RT or RRD at initial presentation or within 1 year thereafter. RESULTS: Of 8305 patients who presented with acute PVD symptoms, 448 (5.4%) were diagnosed with RT and 335 (4.0%) were diagnosed with RRD. When considering variables available before examination, blurred vision (odds ratio [OR], 2.7; confidence interval [CI], 2.2-3.3), male sex (OR, 2.1; CI, 1.8-2.5), age < 60 years (OR, 1.8; CI, 1.5-2.1), prior keratorefractive surgery (OR, 1.6; CI, 1.3-2.0), and prior cataract surgery (OR, 1.4; CI, 1.2-1.8) were associated with higher risk of RT or RRD, whereas symptoms of flashes were mildly protective (OR, 0.8; CI, 0.7-0.9). Examination variables associated with a high risk of RT or RRD included vitreous pigment (OR, 57.0; CI, 39.7-81.7), vitreous hemorrhage (OR, 5.9; CI, 4.6-7.5), lattice degeneration (OR, 6.0; CI, 4.7-7.7), and visual acuity worse than 20/40 (OR, 3.0; CI, 2.5-3.7). Late RTs or RRDs occurred in 12.4% of patients who had vitreous hemorrhage, lattice degeneration, or a history of RT or RRD in the fellow eye at initial presentation but only 0.7% of patients without any of these 3 risk factors. Refractive error had an approximately linear relationship with age at presentation of PVD, with myopic patients presenting at a younger age (r = 0.4). CONCLUSIONS: This study, based in a comprehensive eye care setting, found the rate of RT and RRD associated with acute PVD to be lower than rates previously reported by retina subspecialty practices. Several patient features strongly predicted the presence of initial and late complications of acute PVD.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: External beam radiation therapy (EBRT) dose escalation has been tested in multiple prospective trials. However, the impact on patient reported outcomes (PROs) associated with higher doses of EBRT remain poorly understood. We sought to assess the differences in PROs between men treated with a dose of 70.2 Gy versus 79.2 Gy of EBRT for prostate cancer. METHODS AND MATERIALS: The phase 3 clinical trial RTOG 0126 randomized 1532 patients with prostate cancer between March 2002 and August 2008 to 79.2 Gy over 44 fractions versus 70.2 Gy over 39 fractions. Eligible patients participated in the PRO data collection. PROs completed included the International Index of Erectile Function Questionnaire (IIEF), Functional Alterations due to Changes in Elimination (FACE), and the Spitzer Quality of Life Index (SQLI). The timepoints for the IIEF were collected pre-entry and at 6, 12, and 24 months. The FACE and SQLI were collected pre-entry and at 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months. The impact of EBRT dose to normal structures (penile bulb, rectum, and bladder) on PROs was also examined. Mixed effects models were used to analyze trends across time. RESULTS: In total, 1144 patients completed baseline IIEF forms and of these, 56%, 64%, and 61% completed the IIEF at 6, 12, and 24 months, respectively; 1123 patients completed the FACE score at baseline and 50%, 61%, 73%, 61%, and 65% completed all 15 items for the FACE metric at timepoints of 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months, respectively. Erectile dysfunction at 12 months based on the single question was not significantly different between arms (38.1% for the standard dose radiation therapy arm vs 49.7% for the dose escalated radiation therapy arm; P = .051). Treatment arm (70.2 vs 79.2) had no significant impact on any PRO metrics measured across all collected domains. Comprehensive dosimetric analyses are presented and reveal multiple significant differences to regional organs at risk. CONCLUSIONS: Compliance with PRO data collection was lower than anticipated in this phase 3 trial. Examining the available data, dose escalated EBRT did not appear to be associated with any detriment to PROs across numerous prospectively collected domains. These data, notwithstanding limitations, add to our understanding of the implications of EBRT dose escalation in prostate cancer. Furthermore, these results illustrate challenges associated with PRO data collection.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Trans-scleral biopsy of uveal melanoma (UM) poses an inherent risk of tumor and possibly retinal perforation. We describe a novel technique for trans-scleral biopsy of UM and evaluate its safety and efficacy in an initial cohort of patients. METHODS: A retrospective, consecutive observational case series was conducted from October 14, 2019, to April 15, 2020, at Kaiser Permanente, San Francisco, CA among patients with UM of the ciliary body or anterior choroid undergoing trans-scleral fine-needle aspiration biopsy using a novel guarded needle technique. RESULTS: A total of 6 patients were included in the study, with a mean age of 64.3 (range 35-77) years (5 women 83%). Mean (±SD) tumor thickness and maximal basal diameter were 6.4 (±2.66) and 11.9 (±2.13) mm, respectively. Five out of 6 patients achieved a successful biopsy with reliable gene expression profiling (GEP) results. The only failure to obtain specimen occurred in the first attempted patient and, after a minor technique modification, all subsequent biopsies were successful. No intraoperative or short-term postoperative complications were observed in any patient. CONCLUSION: This novel trans-scleral biopsy technique appears to be safe and effective when obtaining UM tissue for GEP. This method may provide a more controlled biopsy depth thereby minimizing the risk of tumor perforation and its associated complications while still obtaining adequate biopsy yield.

RESUMO

IMPORTANCE: This case series describes events associated with errors in intravitreous injections. Given the volume of injections performed worldwide, it is important to identify the factors associated with these wrong events to try to reduce their occurrences. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate a series of errors in intravitreous injections within Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KPNC). DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: In this retrospective small case series of a convenience sample at KPNC between January 1, 2019, and December 30, 2020, cases of errors in intravitreous injection were identified either as part of a formal institutional quality review or by self-report of the involved surgeon during quality improvement discussions. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: Description of the medical errors and the circumstances surrounding these errors. RESULTS: During the 2 years of this evaluation, there were more than 147 000 injections performed within KPNC. Four cases of errors in intravitreous injection were identified. Mistakes were associated with inaccurate review of the electronic medical record, poor surgeon and staff focus, and inconsistent use of surgical checklists and timeouts. No long-term ocular morbidity occurred following any of these errors. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Medical errors related to intravitreous injections have occurred within KPNC. We trust these events are not unique to our practice. A standardized teams-based approach that incorporates rigorous safety protocols will likely be needed to reduce the risk of future wrong intravitreous injections.

RESUMO

Conjunctival examination for trachomatous inflammation-follicular (TF) guides public health decisions for trachoma. Smartphone cameras may allow remote conjunctival grading, but previous studies have found low sensitivity. A random sample of 412 children aged 1-9 years received an in-person conjunctival examination and then had conjunctival photographs taken with 1) a single-lens reflex (SLR) camera and 2) a smartphone coupled to a 3D-printed magnifying attachment. Three masked graders assessed the conjunctival photographs for TF. Latent class analysis was used to determine the sensitivity and specificity of each grading method for TF. Single-lens reflex photo-grading was 95.0% sensitive and 93.6% specific, and smartphone photo-grading was 84.1% sensitive and 97.6% specific. The sensitivity of the smartphone-CellScope device was considerably higher than that of a previous study using the native smartphone camera, without attachment. Magnification of smartphone images with a simple attachment improved the grading sensitivity while maintaining high specificity in a region with hyperendemic trachoma.

RESUMO

We report a case of a 51-year-old Caucasian female who presented with a ciliary body melanoma of the right eye leading to focal resorption of the crystalline lens and inducing posterior subcapsular cataract. She underwent successful enucleation, and histopathology demonstrated a ciliary body melanoma with a predominance of epithelioid cells and focal scleral extension. Genetic testing revealed a heterozygous, pathogenic mutation of BAP1 (c.1717delC, p.Leu573fs). Crystalline lens resorption is a rare but potentially important finding in ciliary body melanoma, as early detection of malignancy can be lifesaving.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Treatment planning for I-125 plaque therapy for uveal melanoma has advanced significantly since the Collaborative Ocular Melanoma Study trial, with more widely available image-guided planning and improved dosimetry. OBJECTIVE: We evaluated real-world practice patterns for I-125 plaque brachytherapy in the United States by studying practice patterns at centers that comprise the Ocular Oncology Study Consortium (OOSC). METHODS: The OOSC database and responses to a treatment practice survey were evaluated. The database contains treatment information from 9 institutions. Patients included in the database were treated between 2010 and 2014. The survey was conducted in 2018 and current treatment planning methods and prescriptions were queried. RESULTS: Examination of the OOSC database revealed that average doses to critical structures were highly consistent, with the exception of one institution. Survey responses indicated that most centers followed published guidelines regarding dose and prescription point. Dose rate ranged from 51 to 118 cGy/h. As of 2018, most institutions use pre-loaded plaques and fundus photographs and/or computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging in planning. CONCLUSIONS: While there were differences in dosimetric practices, overall agreement in plaque brachytherapy practices was high among OOSC institutions. Clinical margins and planning systems were similar among institutions, while prescription dose, dose rates, and dosimetry varied.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To study the relationship between gene expression profile (GEP) subclass and American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) stage in patients with uveal melanoma (UM). METHODS: A retrospective, multicenter study was undertaken with patients entered from nine major ocular oncology centers from across the United States. Three hundred sixty eligible patients had UM and underwent I-125 plaque brachytherapy with concurrent tumor biopsy with GEP testing between January 1, 2010, and October 28, 2014. Patient demographics and UM features were analyzed by both GEP and AJCC status. RESULTS: Gene expression profile class divided the cohort into three groups: Class 1a (n = 186), Class 1b (n = 77), and Class 2 (n = 113). When classified using AJCC staging criteria, we found the following: Stage I in 91 cases (25.3%), Stage IIA in 143 cases (39.7%), Stage IIB in 89 cases (24.7%), Stage IIIA in 36 cases (10%), and Stage IIIB in 1 case (0.3%). There were no Stage IV cases, as lymph node and metastatic data were not collected as a part of this study. Among Stage I tumors, both high tumor height and high largest basal diameter were associated with a higher frequency of Class 2 status (P < 0.05). As UMs progress to a larger AJCC tumor group (T1-T4), the odds ratio of having a worse prognosis based on GEP class was 1.75 (95% CI, 1.36-2.25; P < 0.001). Similarly, as UMs progress to a higher AJCC stage, the odds ratio of having a worse prognosis based on GEP class was 1.69 (95% CI, 1.36-2.10; P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: This report details the differences in clinical features between GEP subclasses and how they are distributed among the AJCC stages. When the tumors were grouped by AJCC staging criteria, both larger AJCC tumor (T) group and worsening AJCC stage were associated with worsening predicted prognosis, based on GEP subclass.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To investigate the relationship between surgical approach for intraocular tumor biopsy of uveal melanoma and tumor morphologic features such as size and intraocular location and the effect of these variables on diagnostic yield and biopsy outcome. METHODS: Consecutive patients from nine Ocular Oncology centers with uveal melanoma (UM) undergoing tumor biopsy immediately preceding I125 plaque brachytherapy with tissue sent for gene expression profiling (GEP) testing were reviewed retrospectively. RESULTS: Three hundred sixty patients were included (50% men, mean age 60.2 years). Overall biopsy yield was 99% and 83% for GEP and cytopathology, respectively. Surgeon choice of biopsy approach (trans-vitreal vs. trans-scleral) was found to associate with both tumor location and tumor thickness. A trans-scleral rather than trans-vitreal approach was used more commonly for anteriorly located tumors (92% vs. 38% of posterior tumors, p < 0.001) and thicker tumors (86% vs. 55% of thin tumors, p < 0.001). When performing trans-vitreal biopsies, ocular oncologists with previous vitreoretinal surgery fellowship training were more likely to use wide-field surgical viewing systems, compared with indirect ophthalmoscopy (82.6% vs. 20.6%, p < 0.001). Surgical complications were rare and occurred more frequently with trans-vitreal biopsies (3.6% vs. 0.46%, p = 0.046). CONCLUSIONS: In this multi-center analysis of UM tumor biopsy, surgical yield was high for obtaining tumor tissue for GEP and cytopathology analysis with both trans-scleral and trans-vitreal techniques. Fellowship-trained ocular oncologists' preferred intraocular biopsy techniques associated strongly with tumor location, tumor thickness, and fellowship training of the surgeon. Short-term complication rates were low.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Surgical intervention is indicated for large primary iris pigment epithelial cysts that significantly affect vision or compromise adjacent structures. Methods described in the literature include laser photocoagulation, needle aspiration, and complete resection. METHODS: We describe a novel surgical technique in which a surgical cystotomy is created for a large, symptomatic iris pigment epithelial cyst using microsurgical instruments for a patient in whom needle aspiration was unsuccessful. RESULTS: The patient's visual symptoms had largely resolved within 1 week postoperatively, no complications were encountered, and there was no clinical or sonographic evidence of cyst recurrence after 14 months. CONCLUSION: Surgical cystotomy with microinstrumentation may be an effective tool for management of primary iris pigment epithelial cysts, especially as an alternative after needle aspiration fails.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To study the relationship between gene expression profile subclass and clinical features in a multicenter cohort of patients with uveal melanoma. METHODS: A retrospective, multicenter study was undertaken with patients entered from nine major ocular oncology centers from across the United States. Eligible patients had uveal melanoma and underwent I-125 plaque brachytherapy with concurrent tumor biopsy with gene expression profile testing between January 1, 2010, and October 28, 2014. Data were collected regarding patient demographics, baseline tumor clinical features, and gene expression profile results. Statistical analyses were performed using the Fisher's exact test, Wilcoxon rank-sum test, Kruskal-Wallis test, and proportional-odds cumulative logit modeling. RESULTS: Inclusion criteria were met for 379 patients. Gene expression profile class divided the cohort into two main groups, Class 1 (n = 263) and Class 2 (n = 113). Class 1 tumors were further subdivided into Class 1a (n = 186) and Class 1b (n = 77). The differences between Class 1 and Class 2 tumors were similar to previous studies, except the finding of Class 2 tumors being more likely to have associated exudative retinal detachment (P < 0.001). There was no statistically significant difference between Class 1 and Class 2 tumors based on the presence of lipofuscin, drusen, or subretinal fluid. Class 1a tumor patients, compared with Class 1b, were significantly older (P = 0.034). Class 2 tumors, when compared with Class 1b, were associated with increasing patient age (P < 0.001), larger tumor height (P = 0.010), ciliary body involvement (P = 0.001), exudative retinal detachment (P = 0.024), and anterior tumor location (P < 0.001). When the tumors were grouped into Collaborative Ocular Melanoma Study size categories, increasing tumor size category was significantly associated with Class 2 status: 6% of small tumors, 32% of medium tumors, and 53% of large tumors were Class 2. CONCLUSION: In a multi-institutional setting, we found that the only significant difference in clinical features between Class 1a and Class 1b tumors was that patients with Class 1a tumors were older at the time of diagnosis. We also found that Class 1a and Class 1b have clinical features distinct from Class 2 tumors. The distribution of the gene expression profile subclasses among the size groups was similar to reported time-to-metastasis data among the same size groupings. Our clinical findings support the current molecular classification-based survival data previously reported in uveal melanoma.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The NRG/RTOG 9413 study showed that whole pelvic radiotherapy (WPRT) plus neoadjuvant hormonal therapy (NHT) improved progression-free survival in patients with intermediate-risk or high-risk localised prostate cancer compared with prostate only radiotherapy (PORT) plus NHT, WPRT plus adjuvant hormonal therapy (AHT), and PORT plus AHT. We provide a long-term update after 10 years of follow-up of the primary endpoint (progression-free survival) and report on the late toxicities of treatment. METHODS: The trial was designed as a 2 × 2 factorial study with hormonal sequencing as one stratification factor and radiation field as the other factor and tested whether NHT improved progression-free survival versus AHT, and NHT plus WPRT versus NHT plus PORT. Eligible patients had histologically confirmed, clinically localised adenocarcinoma of the prostate, an estimated risk of lymph node involvement of more than 15% and a Karnofsky performance status of more than 70, with no age limitations. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1:1:1) by permuted block randomisation to receive either NHT 2 months before and during WPRT followed by a prostate boost to 70 Gy (NHT plus WPRT group), NHT 2 months before and during PORT to 70 Gy (NHT plus PORT group), WPRT followed by 4 months of AHT (WPRT plus AHT group), or PORT followed by 4 months of AHT (PORT plus AHT group). Hormonal therapy was combined androgen suppression, consisting of goserelin acetate 3·6 mg once a month subcutaneously or leuprolide acetate 7·5 mg once a month intramuscularly, and flutamide 250 mg twice a day orally for 4 months. Randomisation was stratified by T stage, Gleason Score, and prostate-specific antigen concentration. NHT was given 2 months before radiotherapy and was continued until radiotherapy completion; AHT was given at the completion of radiotherapy for 4 months. The primary endpoint progression-free survival was analysed by intention to treat. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT00769548. The trial has been terminated to additional follow-up collection and this is the final analysis for this trial. FINDINGS: Between April 1, 1995, and June 1, 1999, 1322 patients were enrolled from 53 centres and randomly assigned to the four treatment groups. With a median follow-up of 8·8 years (IQR 5·07-13·84) for all patients and 14·8 years (7·18-17·4) for living patients (n=346), progression-free survival across all timepoints continued to differ significantly across the four treatment groups (p=0·002). The 10-year estimates of progression-free survival were 28·4% (95% CI 23·3-33·6) in the NHT plus WPRT group, 23·5% (18·7-28·3) in the NHT plus PORT group, 19·4% (14·9-24·0) in the WPRT plus AHT group, and 30·2% (25·0-35·4) in the PORT plus AHT group. Bladder toxicity was the most common grade 3 or worse late toxicity, affecting 18 (6%) of 316 patients in the NHT plus WPRT group, 17 (5%) of 313 in the NHT plus PORT group, 22 (7%) of 317 in the WPRT plus AHT group, and 14 (4%) of 315 in the PORT plus AHT group. Late grade 3 or worse gastrointestinal adverse events occurred in 22 (7%) of 316 patients in the NHT plus WPRT group, five (2%) of 313 in the NHT plus PORT group, ten (3%) of 317 in the WPRT plus AHT group, and seven (2%) of 315 in the PORT plus AHT group. INTERPRETATION: In this cohort of patients with intermediate-risk and high-risk localised prostate cancer, NHT plus WPRT improved progression-free survival compared with NHT plus PORT and WPRT plus AHT at long-term follow-up albeit increased risk of grade 3 or worse intestinal toxicity. Interactions between radiotherapy and hormonal therapy suggests that WPRT should be avoided without NHT. FUNDING: National Cancer Institute.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Skeletal-related events (SREs), common sequelae of metastatic cancer, are reduced by bisphosphonates. In this study, it was postulated that radiopharmaceuticals, added to bisphosphonates, could further decrease the incidence of SREs. METHODS: NRG Oncology RTOG 0517 randomized patients with breast, lung, and prostate cancer and blastic bone metastases to either zoledronic acid (ZA) alone or ZA plus radiopharmaceuticals (Sr-89 or Sm-153). The primary endpoint was time to development of SREs. Secondary objectives included quality of life (QOL), pain control, overall survival (OS), and toxicity. RESULTS: 261 patients (median age 68; 62% male; 55% prostate, 35% breast, 10% lung) were accrued between July 2006 and February 2011. The study closed early due to a lower than expected rate of SREs. 52 (42%) patients in the ZA arm and 49 (40%) in the radiopharmaceutical arm experienced an SRE. Median time free of SREs was 29.9 and 27.4 months, respectively (p = 0.84). Median OS in the ZA arm and radiopharmaceutical arms was 32.1 and 26.9 months, respectively (p = 0.37). Cox proportional hazards regression model showed that primary disease site (lung) and number of bone metastases (> 2) had a negative impact on OS (p < 0.0001, p = 0.01, respectively). The addition of radiopharmaceuticals to ZA led to a significant reduction in pain at 1 month based on BPI worst score (p = 0.02). No other group differences were noted for QOL or toxicity. CONCLUSION: The addition of radiopharmaceuticals to bisphosphonates did not alter time to SREs or OS for patients with breast, lung, prostate cancers and blastic bone metastases, although it was associated with significant pain reduction at 1 month.
