Surgery for metastatic pancreatic cancer remains controversial as the survival benefit is questionable. The aim of the present study was to analyze the survival of these patients using data extracted from the surveillance, epidemiology, and end results (SEER) program database. Further, studies on resection for metastatic disease to the lung were systematically reviewed. A total of 11,541 cases with synchronous distant metastasis were analyzed. The median survival of single-organ metastasis was b ...[more]

Project description:Background Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has proven valuable in diagnosing benign and malignant pancreatic diseases, but its value in evaluating hepatic metastasis remains to be further explored. This study investigated the relationship between CEUS features of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and concomitant or recurrent liver metastases after treatment. Methods This retrospective study included 133 participants with PDAC who were diagnosed with pancreatic lesions with CEUS at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2017 to November 2020. According to the CEUS classification methods in our center, all the pancreatic lesions were classified as either with rich or poor blood supply. Additionally, quantitative ultrasonographic parameters were measured in the center and periphery of all pancreatic lesions. CEUS modes and parameters of the different hepatic metastasis groups were compared. The diagnostic performance of CEUS was calculated for diagnosing synchronous and metachronous hepatic metastasis. Results The proportions of rich blood supply and poor blood supply were 46% (32/69) and 54% (37/69), respectively, in the no hepatic metastasis group; 42% (14/33) and 58% (19/33), respectively, in the metachronous hepatic metastasis (MHM) group; and 19% (6/31) and 81% (25/31), respectively, in the synchronous hepatic metastasis (SHM) group. The wash-in slope ratio (WIS ratio) between the center of the lesion and around the lesion and peak intensity ratio (PI ratio) between the center of the lesion and around the lesion had higher values in the negative hepatic metastasis group (P<0.05). In predicting synchronous and metachronous hepatic metastasis, the WIS ratio had the best diagnostic performance. The sensitivity (SEN), specificity (SPE), accuracy (ACC), positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) were 81.8%, 95.7%, 91.2%, 90.0%, and 91.7%, respectively, for MHM; and 87.1%, 95.7%, 93.0%, 90.0%, and 94.3%, respectively, for SHM. Conclusions CEUS would be helpful in image surveillance for synchronous or metachronous hepatic metastasis of PDAC.

Project description:PurposeNumerous previous studies have reported inconsistent results about the differences between synchronous contralateral breast cancer (sCBC) and metachronous contralateral breast cancer (mCBC). This study aimed to compare the clinical characteristics and outcomes between sCBC and mCBC and determine predictive factors for the survival of sCBC and mCBC patients.MethodsUsing the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program database, we identified sCBC or mCBC patients from 2000 to 2010. The Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards regression analysis were used to analyze overall survival and breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) rates of sCBCs and mCBCs, respectively.ResultsOverall, 14,057 sCBC (n = 8,139, 57.9%) and mCBC (n = 5,918, 42.1%) patients were included. The first tumors of sCBC were more likely to have higher stage and more lymph and distant metastases, whereas those of mCBC were more often infiltrating ductal carcinoma (IDC), had localized stage, were estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) negative, and had less axillary nodal involvement. The second tumors of mCBC tended to be IDC and have higher grade, adverse stage, ER and PR-negativity; and more axillary nodal involvement, compared to the second tumors of sCBC. mCBC patients had significantly favorable 5-year BCSS but worse long-term BCSS compared with sCBC patients. Moreover, subgroup analysis revealed no significant difference of BCSS between sCBC and mCBC among patients aged 18-60 years. Multivariate analysis indicated that age, grade, and stage of 2 tumors; surgery for second tumor; and ER status of the second tumor were independent prognostic factors for BCSS of contralateral breast cancer (CBC).ConclusionThe characteristics and outcomes of sCBCs and mCBCs were substantially different. sCBC and mCBC patients may have different prognosis, and the prognosis of CBC depends on the first and second tumors.

Project description:ObjectivesOur purpose is to evaluate the patterns of organ metastasis and the prognosis in lung adenosquamous carcinoma patients with organ metastasis.MethodsWe collected the data from the surveillance epidemiology and end results database, covering the period of 2000-2018. Cox regression, Kaplan-Meier and log-rank analyses were performed.ResultsTotally, 2698 patients were enrolled, comprising 851 (31.54%) patients diagnosed with organ metastasis and 2017 (68.46%) patients without organ metastasis. Patients with distant organ metastasis show a significant decrease in median overall survival. In addition to the aforementioned factors, age over 70 years, male, main bronchus, advanced T stage, larger tumour size, absence of primary tumour surgery and lack of radiotherapy have all been identified as prognostic indicators associated with a poorer outcome. In terms of treatment options, patients with organ metastasis can benefit from chemotherapy and primary tumour surgery. Moreover, in patients with organ metastasis, those who received a combination treatment of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy displayed the most favourable prognosis, with a median overall survival of 17 months.ConclusionsWe identified the prognostic indicators for organ metastasis in patients with lung adenosquamous carcinoma. Highly selected patients who undergo a combination treatment of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy may experience the greatest survival benefit.

Project description:IntroductionThe crosstalk between receptor kinase signaling, such as EGFR and androgen receptor signaling, suggests a potential interaction between androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and lung cancer outcome.MethodsWe employed the SEER-Medicare data of lung cancer patients diagnosed between 1988 and 2005 to test for an association between ADT for prostate cancer and lung cancer outcome. We employed the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazard with log-rank test model to assess any significant impact of ADT on survival.ResultsWe included data from 367,750 lung cancer patients; 17.4%, 2.9%, 33.6% and 46.1% with stages I, II, III and IV, respectively; 84.5% were >65 years; 57.2% males; 84.2% Caucasians and 9.3% Blacks. There were 11,061 patients (3%) with an initial prostate cancer diagnosis followed by lung cancer (P-L group); 3017 (0.8%) with an initial diagnosis of lung cancer and subsequent prostate cancer diagnosis (L-P group); the remainder had only lung cancer (L group). Stage I lung cancer was most common in the L-P group compared to the L and P-L groups-54% vs. 17.13% vs. 17.92%, p < 0.0001 for L-P, L and P-L, respectively. The median OS for lung cancer diagnosis was 93 months versus 10 and 9 months, respectively, for the L-P, L and P-L subgroups. ADT was associated with improved survival on multivariate analysis, especially in Caucasian patients (HR of death: 0.86; 95% CI: 0.76-0.97; p = 0.012).ConclusionADT was associated with improved outcome for NSCLC, in line with the hypothesis of a role for the androgen receptor in lung cancer. Our findings support a systematic evaluation of the potential benefit of ADT as a therapy for lung cancer.

Project description:Glutamine synthetase (GS) generates glutamine from glutamate and controls the release of inflammatory mediators. In macrophages, GS activity, driven by IL10, associates to the acquisition of M2-like functions. Conditional deletion of GS in macrophages inhibits metastasis by boosting the formation of anti-tumor, M1-like, tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). From this basis, we evaluated the pharmacological potential of GS inhibitors in targeting metastasis, identifying glufosinate as a specific human GS inhibitor. Glufosinate was tested in both cultured macrophages and on mice bearing metastatic lung, skin and breast cancer. We found that glufosinate rewires macrophages toward an M1-like phenotype both at the primary tumor and metastatic site, countering immunosuppression and promoting vessel sprouting. This was also accompanied to a reduction in cancer cell intravasation and extravasation, leading to synchronous and metachronous metastasis growth inhibition, but no effects on primary tumor growth. Glufosinate treatment was well-tolerated, without liver and brain toxicity, nor hematopoietic defects. These results identify GS as a druggable enzyme to rewire macrophage functions and highlight the potential of targeting metabolic checkpoints in macrophages to treat cancer metastasis.

Project description:Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a malignant tumor that can metastasize easily. Hence, many patients have already developed metastasis when they are diagnosed. It is also one of the most common tumors that metastasize to the head and neck through extranodal disease. Herein, we reported a case of a 53-year-old man with cervical metastasis from bilateral RCC. Interestingly, whole exome sequencing (WES) and clonal evolution analysis revealed that bilateral renal tumor lesions and neck metastases (squamous cell carcinoma) share the same subclones and a large number of gene variants, while the pathological morphology is different (left nephrotic foci, a mixed pattern of mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma (MTSCC) with papillary adenoma; right renal foci, papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC)). This was first reported in RCCs to the best of our knowledge. This case suggests that genotype analysis can be a powerful supplementary examination for clinical histopathological diagnosis. Gene detection has great significance for the accurate diagnosis and treatment of RCC metastasis or multiple lesions.

Project description:BackgroundThe management of metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) has changed dramatically in the last 20 years, and the role of surgery in the immunotherapy's era is under debate. Metastatic lesions interesting pancreas are infrequent, but those harbouring from RCC have an high incidence. If metachronous resections are not rare, synchronous resection of primary RCC and its pancreatic metastasis is uncommonly reported, and accounts for a bad prognosis.Case presentationWe report the case of a 68 years old woman, who presented hematuria at hospital incoming, with radiological appearance of a 13 cm left renal mass, with a 2.5 cm single pancreatic tail metastasis. Work-up of staging ruled out other distant metastases, urothelial cancer and there was no evidence of inferior vena cava thrombosis. We choose a 5-port trans-peritoneal robotic approach using lazy right lateral decubitus. Synchronous robotic radical nephrectomy and spleen-sparing pancreatic resection was performed. The pancreatic mass was completely enucleated from pancreatic parenchyma using a latero-medial dissection. Peri-operative hemoglobine loss was 2.4 g/dL. Total operative time was 213 min. No post-operative complications were recorded and patient was discharged in 7th post-operative day. Histopathological examination showed a pT2b N0 M1 RCC, Fuhrman grade II, with pancreatic tail metastasis; both, primary and metastatic lesions had the same histological characteristics with negative surgical margins. After 9 months patient had no evidence of disease recurrence at radiological studies.ConclusionsThe rationale for surgical removal of disseminated tumor, followed by immunotherapy, includes improving prognosis and enhancing the potential of an immune-mediated response to systemic treatment. A spleen-sparing procedure can adequately preserve post-operative immunologic capabilities. In our experience, the correct assessment of pre-operative imaging data and surgeon skills in robotic surgery seem to play a key role in the success of these procedures. Robotic surgery seems to enhance the possibility to control multiple vessels encountered during dissection. Such a conservative approach may be helpful in future research aimed at uncovering biological features, and also leading to better targeted preventive interventions and more individualized and effective treatments.

Project description:Despite distant metastases being the critical factor affecting patients' survival, they remain poorly understood. Our study thus aimed to molecularly characterize colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRCLMs) and explore whether molecular profiles differ between Synchronous (SmCRC) and Metachronous (MmCRC) colorectal cancer. This characterization was performed by whole exome sequencing, whole transcriptome, whole methylome, and miRNAome. The most frequent somatic mutations were in APC, SYNE1, TP53, and TTN genes. Among the differently methylated and expressed genes were those involved in cell adhesion, extracellular matrix organization and degradation, neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction. The top up-regulated microRNAs were hsa-miR-135b-3p and -5p, and the hsa-miR-200-family while the hsa-miR-548-family belonged to the top down-regulated. MmCRC patients evinced higher tumor mutational burden, a wider median of duplications and deletions, and a heterogeneous mutational signature than SmCRC. Regarding chronicity, a significant down-regulation of SMOC2 and PPP1R9A genes in SmCRC compared to MmCRC was observed. Two miRNAs were deregulated between SmCRC and MmCRC, hsa-miR-625-3p and has-miR-1269-3p. The combined data identified the IPO5 gene. Regardless of miRNA expression levels, the combined analysis resulted in 107 deregulated genes related to relaxin, estrogen, PI3K-Akt, WNT signaling pathways, and intracellular second messenger signaling. The intersection between our and validation sets confirmed the validity of our results. We have identified genes and pathways that may be considered as actionable targets in CRCLMs. Our data also provide a valuable resource for understanding molecular distinctions between SmCRC and MmCRC. They have the potential to enhance the diagnosis, prognostication, and management of CRCLMs by a molecularly targeted approach.

Project description:BackgroundThe prognosis of lung cancer with synchronous brain metastasis (LCBM) is very poor, and patients often die within a short time. However, little is known about the early mortality and related factors in patients with LCBM.MethodsPatients diagnosed with LCBM between 2010 and 2016 were enrolled from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Result (SEER) database. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to identify significant independent prognostic factors, which were used to construct nomograms of overall and cancer-specific early death. Then, the prediction ability of the model was verified by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. At last, the clinical application value of the model was tested through decision curve analysis (DCA).ResultsA total of 29,902 patients with LCBM were enrolled in this study. Among them, 13,275 (44.4%) patients had early death, and 11,425 (38.2%) cases died of lung cancer. The significant independent risk factors for overall and cancer-specific early death included age, race, gender, Gleason grade, histological type, T stage, N stage, bone metastasis, liver metastasis and marital status, which were used to construct the nomogram. The ROC curve demonstrated good predictive ability and clinical application value. The areas under the curve (AUC) of the training group was 0.793 (95% CI: 0.788-0.799) and 0.794 (95% CI: 0.788-0.799), in the model of overall and cancer-specific early death respectively. And the AUC of the validation group were 0.803 (95% CI: 0.788-0.818) and 0.806 (95% CI: 0.791-0.821), respectively. The calibration plots of the model showed that the predicted early death is consistent with the actual value. The DCA analysis indicated a good clinical application value of this model.ConclusionsWe established a comprehensive nomogram to predict early death in lung cancer patients with synchronous brain metastases. Nomograms may help oncologists develop better treatment strategies, such as clinical trials and hospice care.
