RESUMO

Multiple myeloma is characterized by malignant proliferation of clonal plasma cells. Usually, appears as a generalized disease but it can present as solitary bone plasmacytoma or a solitary soft tissue mass or extramedullary plasmacytoma. In the case of extramedullary involvement, it could present as soft tissue plasmacytomas and the prognosis is poor. The 18F-FDG PET/CT could be a valuable tool for characterization of the medullary and extramedullary involvement. We present a case of F18-FDG PET/CT with extramedullary involvement with soft tissue plasmacytomas in the setting of MM.

RESUMO

Resumen Introducción: En 2009, el Instituto Nacional de Cancerología (INC) elaboró el 177Lu-DOTATATE/TOC. El propósito del estudio fue demostrar la eficacia de estos radiopéptidos en el tratamiento paliativo de pacientes con tumores neuroendocrinos (TNE) avanzados inoperables (metastásicos o localmente avanzados) y en progresión. Métodos: Ensayo clínico abierto fase II de un solo brazo en 13 pacientes adultos con TNE grado 1 o 2, con expresión de receptores de somatostatina en lesiones blanco demostrada por captación Krenning 3 o 4 en 99mTc-HYNIC TOC. Los pacientes fueron tratados con 177Lu-DOTATATE o 177Lu-DOTATOC (según disponibilidad) a una actividad acumulativa proyectada de 600-800 mCi dividida en 3-4 dosis cada 6-9 semanas comenzando siempre con una actividad fija de 200 mCi y dosimetría con la primera dosis. El desenlace primario fue la respuesta objetiva calculada 6 y 12 meses después de la última dosis del tratamiento. Resultados: Se incluyeron 13 pacientes (7 mujeres) de 63 ± 11,6 años con TNE avanzado inoperable y en progresión. La actividad final administrada fue de 800 mCi, 600 mCi, 400 mCi y 200 mCi en 4, 7, 1 y 1 pacientes, respectivamente. La tasa de control de enfermedad a 6 y 12 meses fue de 69,2% y 45,5%, respectivamente, logrando únicamente enfermedad estable. Fallecieron 7 pacientes, 2 de ellos en los primeros 6 meses. La mediana de supervivencia global a partir de la última dosis del radiopéptido fue de 15,7 meses. Conclusiones: Se corroboró la eficacia y la seguridad del tratamiento con los radiopéptidos en NETs avanzados.


Abstract Objectives: The National Cancer Institute first elaborated 177Lu-DOTATATE/TOC in 2009. The purpose of this study was to prove the efficacy of these radiopeptides in the palliative treatment of patients with progressive advanced inoperable neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Methods: A single-phase phase II open clinical trial was conducted in 13 adult patients with grade 1 y 2 NETs, with expression of somatostatin receptors in target lesions proven by Krenning Score 3 or 4 uptake in 99mTc-HYNIC TOC. Patients were treated with 177Lu-DOTATATE or 177Lu-DOTATOC (depending upon availability) at a projected acumulative activitiy of 600-800 mCi divided into 3-4 doses every 6-9 weeks always beginning with a fixed activity of 200 mCi and dosimetry during the first dose. The primary outcome was objective response to therapy. Results: 13 patients (7 women) aged 63 ± 11.6 years with inoperable advanced NETs were included. The final therapeutic administered activity was 800 mCi, 600 mCi, 400 mCi and 200 mCi in 4, 7, 1 and 1 patients, respectively. The disease control rate at 6 and 12 months was 69.2% and 45.5%, respectively, only obtaining stable disease. Six patients died, 2 of them in the first 6 months. Median overall survival was 15.7 months from the last treatment dose. Conclusions: The efficacy of the treatment with 177Lu-DOTATATE or 177Lu-DOTATOC radiopeptides elaborated in-house was confirmed, becoming a management alternative for patients with advanced NETs.

RESUMO

COVID-19 is the viral infection caused by SARS-CoV-2 declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a pandemic. Patients with cancer have a higher risk to acquire the infection and worse prognosis as they have to attend more medical visits in healthcare institutions, receive medical and surgical treatments, and be subjected to diagnostic studies such as PET/CT in nuclear medicine services where the infection may be an incidental finding. We present here F18-FDG PET/CT (Positron Emission Tomography and Computed Tomography with 2-deoxy-2-[fluorine-18]fluoro-D-glucose), images with findings of COVID-19 from patients with different oncological conditions but no respiratory symptoms.


La COVID-19 es la infección viral causada por el SARS-CoV-2 y declarada por la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) como pandemia. Los pacientes con cáncer tienen un mayor riesgo de adquirir la infección y un peor pronóstico, ya que deben asistir a visitas médicas en diferentes centros hospitalarios, reciben tratamientos médicos y quirúrgicos y deben someterse a estudios diagnósticos como la PET/CT en servicios de medicina nuclear, lo que es ocasión para el hallazgo incidental de la infección. Se presentan las imágenes de tomografías computarizadas por emisión de positrones con 18-fluorodesoxiglucosa (F18) (Positron Emission Tomography and Computed Tomography with 2-deoxy-2-[fluorine-18]fluoro-D-glucose, PET/CT F18-FDG) en las que se evidenció la COVID-19 en pacientes con diversas enfermedades oncológicas, pero sin sintomatología respiratoria.

RESUMO

The 39 ka Campanian Ignimbrite (CI) super-eruption was the largest volcanic eruption of the past 200 ka in Europe. Tephra deposits indicate two distinct plume forming phases, Plinian and co-ignimbrite, characteristic of many caldera-forming eruptions. Previous numerical studies have characterized the eruption as a single-phase event, potentially leading to inaccurate assessment of eruption dynamics. To reconstruct the volume, intensity, and duration of the tephra dispersal, we applied a computational inversion method that explicitly accounts for the Plinian and co-ignimbrite phases and for gravitational spreading of the umbrella cloud. To verify the consistency of our results, we performed an additional single-phase inversion using an independent thickness dataset. Our better-fitting two-phase model suggests a higher mass eruption rate than previous studies, and estimates that 3/4 of the total fallout volume is co-ignimbrite in origin. Gravitational spreading of the umbrella cloud dominates tephra transport only within the first hundred kilometres due to strong stratospheric winds in our best-fit wind model. Finally, tephra fallout impacts would have interrupted the westward migration of modern hominid groups in Europe, possibly supporting the hypothesis of prolonged Neanderthal survival in South-Western Europe during the Middle to Upper Palaeolithic transition.

RESUMO

El cáncer diferenciado de tiroides (CDT) es la neoplasia endocrina maligna encontrada con mayor frecuencia, generalmente tiene un comportamiento lento en su evolución permitiendo realizar manejo quirúrgico y terapia ablativa con Iodo 131, lográndose la remisión completa en la gran mayoría de los casos. Un pequeño porcentaje de estas neoplasias presenta un comportamiento agresivo al registrar metástasis a distancia con localización principalmente en pulmón, hueso y cerebro y con focos de desdiferenciación celular, lo cual empobrece su pro nóstico y limita las opciones terapéuticas en este tipo de tumores. En el proceso de seguimiento del CDT, la tomografia por emisión de positrones con análogo de glucosa (PET/CT con F18-FDG) se ha constituido en una herramienta diagnóstica y pronóstica de imagen eficaz. Presentamos el caso de un paciente masculino de 50 años de edad con cáncer papilar de tiroides y enfermedad metastásica en páncreas, sitio inusual de diseminación para esta patología.


Differentiated Thyroid Cancer (DTC) is the most frequently found malignant endocrine neoplasia. It is usually slow developing, allowing for surgical management and ablation therapy with Iodine 131, achieving complete remission in the great majority of cases. However, a small percentage of tumours are aggressive, with distant metastases to lung, bone, brain, and foci of cellular dedifferentiation, which worsens prognosis and limits therapeutic options. In the monitoring process of the CDT, Positron emission tomography with glucose analogue (PET/CT with F18 - FDG) remains an important diagnostic and prognostic imaging tool. The case is presented of a 50 year old male patient with papillary thyroid cancer and metastatic disease in the pancreas, an unusual site in this disease.

RESUMO

Corticobasal degeneration is a rare neurodegenerative disorder that often eludes clinical diagnosis. The present case shows the F-18 fluoro-d-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) of a 62-year-old man with a progressive movement disorder with asymmetric features. PET/CT examination showed a markedly right-brain hemispheric hypometabolism also involving basal ganglia.

RESUMO

Objetivos: establecer la prevalencia de resultados positivos en el rastreo posterapia empírica; determinar valores de corte para tiroglobulina estimulada y suprimida que predijeron el resultado del rastreo posterapia empírica y describir factores clínicos e histopatológicos asociados con rastreos positivos. Métodos: se revisaron historias clínicas de pacientes, del Instituto Nacional de Cancerología (INC) entre 2003 y 2009, con cáncer diferenciado de tiroides y que tuvieron una tiroglobulina estimulada ≥ 10 ng/ml en ausencia de enfermedad estructural identificable por ecografía de cuello y por otras imágenes diagnósticas obtenidas a discreción de los médicos tratantes. Se les practicó un rastreo posterapia después de recibir 100-200 mCi de I-131. Resultados: se incluyeron 40 pacientes (34 mujeres) con cáncer diferenciado de tiroides, de 14 a 74 años de edad, la mayoría con invasión local o compromiso de ganglios cervicales. El rastreo posterapia fue positivo en 24 pacientes. Los valores de corte de tiroglobulina suprimida y estimulada que mejor predijeron los resultados del rastreo posterapia fueron 1,89 ng/ml y 25 ng/ml, respectivamente. Factores como edad ≥ 45 años, sexo masculino, variantes agresivas y otras variables de mal pronóstico (tumor > 4 cm, primera cirugía extrainstitucional, tiroglobulina postoperatoria > 30 ng/ml y respuesta estructural incompleta (80%)) fueron más frecuentes en los pacientes con rastreo positivo. Conclusiones: el rastreo posterapia empírica con I-131 es una estrategia diagnóstica que provee información localizadora, metabólica y pronóstica en la mayoría de los pacientes. © 2014 Instituto Nacional de Cancerología.

Objectives: a) To establish the prevalence of positive post-therapeutic I-131 whole-body scan (PWBS) results in patients with elevated thyroglobulin (Tg) levels and with no structurally identifiable disease; b) to calculate stimulated and suppressed Tg cut-off values with the highest accuracy using ROC analyses; c) to describe positive PWBS-related clinical and histopathology factors. Methods: A retrospective assessment is presented of PWBS results in 40 patients (34 female) between 14 and 74 years of age with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) who were treated with empirical radioiodine therapy at the Instituto Nacional de Cancerología between 2003 and 2009, and with a stimulated Tg ≥ 10 ng/ml with no structurally identifiable disease. Results: PWBS revealed a pathological uptake in 24 (60%) patients. The highest diagnostic accuracies of serum Tg for abnormal I-131 uptake in PWBS were 1.89 ng/ml for suppressed Tg and 25 ng/ml for stimulated Tg. Factors such as age ≥ 45 years, aggressive variants, and other poor outcome predictors, tumor size > 4 cm, extra-institutional first surgery, postoperative thyroglobulin >30 ng/ml and structurally incomplete tumor response to initial treatment, were more frequently related to positive PWBS. Conclusion: PWBS is a diagnostic strategy that provides localizing, metabolic and prognostic information in most patients with elevated Tg levels and with no structurally identifiable disease.

RESUMO

El cáncer de mama constituye el tipo de malignidad más frecuente en las mujeres, con un 26% de todos los cánceres femeninos, según publicaciones internacionales. De acuerdo con estadísticas nacionales, entre 2000 y 2006 hubo más de 10.000 fallecimientos por esta causa. El incremento en la disponibilidad y mejoras tecnológicas en cuanto al diagnóstico por imagen soportan un proceso de etapificación más completa en este tipo de pacientes. La tomografía por emisión de positrones (PET) ha mostrado gran impacto en la re-estadificación y detección de metástasis en pacientes con cáncer. Se presenta el caso de una paciente con carcinoma de mama y sospecha de recaída, la cual fue confirmada mediante PET/CT con hallazgos de enfermedad metastásica ganglionar y ósea.


Breast cancer represents the most frequent malignancy in women, accounting for 26% of all female cancers, according to international publications. During the period 2000 to 2006, more than 10,000 breast cancer deaths were recorded in Colombia. Greater availability of advanced technology for image based diagnosis buttresses an improved staging process for patients with this disease. Positron emission tomography (PET) has made an enormous impact on the restaging and metastasis detection in cancer patients. A case study is presented of a breast cancer patient suspected of relapse, subsequently confirmed by PET/CT which revealed lymph node and bone metastasis.

RESUMO

Se presenta el caso de un paciente con cuadro de 4 meses de evolución de fiebre intermitente, pérdida no cuantificada de peso y diaforesis nocturna. El examen físico reveló hepatoesplenomegalia sin otras alteraciones. Los estudios iniciales mostraron anemia macrocítica-hipocrómica, y las serologías para VIH, hepatitis B y hepatitis C fueron negativas. La TAC de cuello reportó adenomegalias cervicales subcutáneas bilaterales; a una de ellas se le tomó una biopsia, que resultó negativa para malignidad o infección. El objetivo de este reporte es ilustrar la utilidad del 67Gacitrato en el estudio de la fiebre de origen desconocido.


Presentation is made of the case of a patient with a 4-month history of intermittent fever, unquantified weight loss and night sweating. Physical examination revealed heptosplenomegaly, with no additional alterations. Initial studies showed macrocytic-hypochromic anemia; serology tests for HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C were negative. CT of the neck reported bilateral subcutaneous cervical lymphadenopathy; biopsy was performed on one, which resulted negative for malignancy or infection. The purpose of this report is to illustrate the effectiveness of Ga-citrate 67 in the study of fever of unknown origin.
