RESUMO

BACKGROUND: There are few data to indicate whether the type of final wound defect is associated with the type of post-Mohs repair. OBJECTIVE: To determine the methods of reconstruction that Mohs surgeons typically select and, secondarily, to assess the association between the method and the number of stages, tumor type, anatomic location, and patient and surgeon characteristics. METHODS: Statistical analysis of procedure logs of 20 representative young to mid-career Mohs surgeons. RESULTS: The number of stages associated with various repairs were different (analysis of variance, p < .001.). Linear repairs, associated with the fewest stages (1.5), were used most commonly (43-55% of defects). Primary repairs were used for 20.2% to 35.3% of defects of the nose, eyelids, ears, and lips. Local flaps were performed typically after two stages of Mohs surgery (range 1.98-2.06). Referral for repair and skin grafts were associated with cases with more stages (2.16 and 2.17 stages, respectively). Experienced surgeons were nominally more likely perform flaps than grafts. Regression analyses did not indicate any association between patient sex and closure type (p = .99) or practice location and closure type (p = .99). CONCLUSIONS: Most post-Mohs closures are linear repairs, with more bilayered linear repairs more likely at certain anatomic sites and after a larger number of stages.

RESUMO

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to assess the association between pretreatment p53, hypoxia inducible factor 1a (HIF1a), Ki-67, carbonic anhydrase-9 (CA-9), and glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) expression in locally advanced cervical cancer patients treated definitively with concurrent chemoradiation therapy (CRT) and treatment outcomes including overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), local-regional control (LC), and distant metastases-free survival (DMFS). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Twenty-eight patients treated definitively and consecutively for cervical cancer with CRT had p53, HIF1a, Ki-67, CA-9, and GLUT1 protein expression assessed and scored semiquantitatively by 3 pathologists, blinded to the treatment outcomes. Outcomes were stratified by p53 (H-score: <15 vs. ≥15), HIF1a (H-score: <95 vs. ≥95), Ki-67 (labeling index <41% vs. ≥41%), CA-9 (H-score: <15 vs. ≥15), and GLUT1 (H-score: <175 vs. ≥175) expression. OS, PFS, LC, and DMFS rates were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and differences between groups were evaluated by the log-rank test. RESULTS: Notable clinical characteristics of the cohort included median age of 51 years (range: 32 to 74 y), FIGO stage IIB disease (57.2%), clinical node-negative disease (64.3%), squamous cell carcinoma (89.3%), and adenocarcinoma (10.7%). Treatment outcomes included 5-year OS (57.2%), PFS (48.1%), LC (72.1%), and DMFS (62.9%). For HIF1a H-score <95 and ≥95, the 5-year OS (52.0% and 68.4%, P=0.58), PFS (53.0% and 40.9%, P=0.75), LC (71.6% and 68.2%, P=0.92), and DMFS (59.7% and 52.0%, P=0.91) were not significantly different. For Ki-67 labeling index <41% and ≥41%, the 5-year OS (44.9% and 66.6%, P=0.35), PFS (38.9% and 55.4%, P=0.53), LC (57.7% and 85.7%, P=0.22), and DMFS (67.3% and 61.0%, P=0.94) were not significantly different. For CA-9 H-score <15 and ≥15, the 5-year OS (54.4% and 66.7%, P=0.39), PFS (57.3% and 40.0%, P=0.87), LC (70.0% and 70.0%, P=0.95), and DMFS (70.0% and 46.7%, P=0.94) were not significantly different. For GLUT1 H-score <175 and ≥175, the 5-year OS (43.6% and 43.6%, P=0.32), PFS (55.6% and 49.5%, P=0.72), LC (72.9% and 71.5%, P=0.97), and DMFS (62.5% and 59.6%, P=0.76) were not significantly different. For p53, H-score <15 and ≥15, the 5-year OS (62% and 53%), PFS (63% and 30.3%), LC (87.5% and 52%), and DMFS (79.6% and 41.6%). CONCLUSIONS: In this study population, HIF1a, Ki-67, CA-9, and GLUT1 expression did not predict treatment response or outcomes in locally advanced cervical cancer patients treated definitively with CRT. There was a nonstatistically significant trend towards worse outcomes with p53 expression.

RESUMO

Purpose This study aims to report long-term clinical outcomes after Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) for intracranial grade 2 meningiomas. Methods In this Institutional Review Board approved study, we reviewed records of all patients with grade 2 meningiomas treated with GKRS between 1998 and 2014. Results A total of 97 postoperative histopathologically confirmed grade 2 meningiomas in 75 patients were treated and are included in this study. After a mean follow-up of 41 months, 28 meningiomas had local recurrence (29.79%). Median time to local recurrence was 89 months (mean: 69, range: 47-168). The 3- and 5-year actuarial local control (LC) rates were 68.9 and 55.7%, respectively. The 3- and 5-year overall survival rates were 88.6 and 81.1%, respectively. There was a trend toward worse LC with tumors treated with radiation doses ≤ 13 versus > 13 Gy. There was no radiation necrosis or second malignant tumors noted in our series. Conclusion This report, one of the largest GKRS series for grade 2 meningiomas, demonstrates that GKRS is a safe and effective treatment modality for patients with grade 2 meningiomas with durable tumor control and minimal toxicity. Adjuvant GKRS could be considered as a reasonable treatment approach for patients with grade 2 meningiomas.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To review and report the long-term treatment-induced adverse events (AEs) and outcomes of concomitant chemoradiotherapy boosted by low-dose-rate (LDR) conventional brachytherapy (BT) planning in patients with locoregionally advanced cervical cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS: After obtaining institutional review board approval, we reviewed the records of patients with stage IB1 to IVA, intact cervical cancer who were treated at our institution between 1983 and 2009. Eligible patients underwent definitive radiotherapy with external-beam radiation concomitant with cisplatin-based chemotherapy and boosted by LDR BT. Patient, tumor, and treatment characteristics; treatment-induced AEs, namely, gastrointestinal and genitourinary toxicities, as well as treatment outcomes; locoregional control (LRC), distant control (DC), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) were reviewed and reported. RESULTS: The study included 129 eligible cervical cancer patients; the median age was 46 years (mean, 47 ± 11 y; range, 28 to 81 y), consisting of stages I, II, III, and IV (29.5%, 48.1%, 17.8%, and 4.6%, respectively). The median follow-up was 37 months (mean, 58 ± 59 mo; range, 3 to 275 mo). The 3-year OS, PFS, LRC, and DC were 75.9%, 71.6%, 84.7%, and 80.2%, respectively. The 5-year OS, PFS, LRC, and DC were 70.7%, 68.7%, 84.7%, and 78.3%, respectively. The 10-year OS, PFS, LRC, and DC were 68.7%, 62.3%, 82.5%, and 73.2%, respectively. Gastrointestinal and genitourinary grade 3 and 4 acute AEs were reported in 3.9% and 0%, and chronic grade 3 and 4 AEs were reported in 20.9% and 12.4% of all patients, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Definitive chemoradiotherapy followed by conventional LDR BT boost is effective, feasible, and tolerable treatment modality for cervical cancer. A comparison with MRI image-guided BT shows comparable treatment outcomes with superior OS in favor of LDR BT but inferior LC with a relatively worse toxicity profile.
