Science to practice: what do molecular biologic studies in rodent models add to our understanding of interventional oncologic procedures including percutaneous ablation by using glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase antagonists?

ABSTRACT: In this basic research study, Ganapathy-Kanniappan et al advance our understanding of how to block the glycolytic pathway to inhibit tumor progression by using image guided procedures (1). This was accomplished by demonstrating their ability to perform molecular targeting of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by using percutaneous injection of either inhibitor--3-bromopyruvate (3-BrPA) or short hairpin RNA (shRNA). They take the critical step of providing further rationale for potentially advancing this therapy into clinical trials by demonstrating that GAPDH expression strongly correlates with c-jun, a proto-oncogene involved in liver tumorigenesis in human HCC (2).

Science to practice: Can we expand focal interventional oncologic ablation treatments into an effective systemic therapy?

Project description:Hamamoto et al (1) were able to demonstrate that combination therapy of a lung tumor by using radiofrequency ablation (RFA) with local injection of an immunostimulant, OK-432, resulted in improved survival when compared with other therapies tested in a VX2 rabbit model. In addition, not only was greater tumor regression seen in a second distant ear tumor implanted prior to the therapy, but also reduced tumor growth was seen when a second tumor implantation (ie, rechallenge) was attempted. These factors strongly suggest the successful activation of systemic antitumor immunity using this approach in this specific tumor model.

Science to practice: Which approaches to combination interventional oncologic therapy hold the greatest promise of obtaining maximal clinical benefit?

Project description:Soundararajan et al (1) were able to demonstrate that combination therapy of radiofrequency (RF) ablation with rhenium 186 (186Re)--labeled liposomal doxorubicin resulted in better drug uptake and reduced tumor growth compared with other therapies tested in a rodent head and neck tumor model. In essence, this “triple” combination therapy of chemotherapy, radiation, and thermal ablation induced significantly smaller viable tumor volume compared with the therapies tested alone at histopathologic examination.

Oncologic Procedures Amenable to Fluorescence-guided Surgery.

Project description:Although fluorescence imaging is being applied to a wide range of cancers, it remains unclear which disease populations will benefit greatest. Therefore, we review the potential of this technology to improve outcomes in surgical oncology with attention to the various surgical procedures while exploring trial endpoints that may be optimal for each tumor type.For many tumors, primary treatment is surgical resection with negative margins, which corresponds to improved survival and a reduction in subsequent adjuvant therapies. Despite unfavorable effect on patient outcomes, margin positivity rate has not changed significantly over the years. Thus, patients often experience high rates of re-excision, radical resections, and overtreatment. However, fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) has brought forth new light by allowing detection of subclinical disease not readily visible with the naked eye.We performed a systematic review of clinicatrials.gov using search terms "fluorescence," "image-guided surgery," and "near-infrared imaging" to identify trials utilizing FGS for those received on or before May 2016.fluorescence surgery for tumor debulking, wide local excision, whole-organ resection, and peritoneal metastases.fluorescence in situ hybridization, fluorescence imaging for lymph node mapping, nonmalignant lesions, nonsurgical purposes, or image guidance without fluorescence.Initial search produced 844 entries, which was narrowed down to 68 trials. Review of literature and clinical trials identified 3 primary resection methods for utilizing FGS: (1) debulking, (2) wide local excision, and (3) whole organ excision.The use of FGS as a surgical guide enhancement has the potential to improve survival and quality of life outcomes for patients. And, as the number of clinical trials rise each year, it is apparent that FGS has great potential for a broad range of clinical applications.

Robotic assisted reconstruction for complications following urologic oncologic procedures.

Project description:Despite technical refinements in urologic oncologic surgery, complications are inevitable and often carry significant morbidity. Similar to oncologic surgery, reconstructive surgery has realized a paradigm shift from mainly open to an increasingly minimally invasive approach. Robotic assisted surgery has facilitated this transition as it mitigates some of the limitations of traditional laparoscopy. With continued technological advances in robotic technology along with improved training and experience, the breadth and complexity of cases expand annually. Few head to head trials exist and data is overall heterogeneous. Herein, we review and summarize the currently available literature describing robotic assisted reconstruction for complications following urologic oncologic procedures.

Interventional procedures and future drug therapy for hypertension.

Project description:Hypertension management poses a major challenge to clinicians globally once non-drug (lifestyle) measures have failed to control blood pressure (BP). Although drug treatment strategies to lower BP are well described, poor control rates of hypertension, even in the first world, suggest that more needs to be done to surmount the problem. A major issue is non-adherence to antihypertensive drugs, which is caused in part by drug intolerance due to side effects. More effective antihypertensive drugs are therefore required which have excellent tolerability and safety profiles in addition to being efficacious. For those patients who either do not tolerate or wish to take medication for hypertension or in whom BP control is not attained despite multiple antihypertensives, a novel class of interventional procedures to manage hypertension has emerged. While most of these target various aspects of the sympathetic nervous system regulation of BP, an additional procedure is now available, which addresses mechanical aspects of the circulation. Most of these new devices are supported by early and encouraging evidence for both safety and efficacy, although it is clear that more rigorous randomized controlled trial data will be essential before any of the technologies can be adopted as a standard of care.

Sedation and analgesia in the performance of interventional procedures.

Project description:Interventional procedures can produce pain, anxiety, and physical and mental distress. Analgesia and sedation in the interventional radiology suite are given routinely during interventional procedures and allow a safe, comfortable, and technically successful procedure to be performed. Appropriate sedation decreases patient movement, patient anxiety, pain perception, and is crucial to successfully perform percutaneous interventions. A thorough understanding of the preoperative patient assessment, intraprocedural monitoring, pharmacologic characteristics of medications, postoperative care, and treatment of complications is required for the practicing interventionalist. Complications related to sedation and analgesia can occur secondary to preexisting medical conditions, incorrect drug administration, and/or inadequate patient monitoring.1,2.

Development of a high affinity, non-covalent biologic to add functionality to Fabs.

Project description:Functionalization of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) requires chemical derivatization and/or genetic manipulation. Inherent in these methods are challenges with protein heterogeneity, stability and solubility. Such perturbations could potentially be avoided by using a high affinity, non-covalent intermediate to bridge the desired functionality to a stable mAb. Recently, we engineered a binding site for a peptide named "meditope" within the Fab of trastuzumab. Proximity of the meditope site to that of protein L suggested an opportunity to enhance the meditope's moderate affinity. Joined by a peptide linker, the meditope-protein L construct has a KD ~ 180 pM - a 7000-fold increase in affinity. The construct is highly specific to the engineered trastuzumab, as demonstrated by flow cytometry. Moreover, the fusion of a bulky GFP to this construct did not affect the association with cell surface antigens. Collectively, these data indicate this specific, high affinity construct can be developed to rapidly add new functionality to mAbs.

Use of Artificial Intelligence in Non-Oncologic Interventional Radiology: Current State and Future Directions.

Project description:The future of radiology is disproportionately linked to the applications of artificial intelligence (AI). Recent exponential advancements in AI are already beginning to augment the clinical practice of radiology. Driven by a paucity of review articles in the area, this article aims to discuss applications of AI in non-oncologic IR across procedural planning, execution, and follow-up along with a discussion on the future directions of the field. Applications in vascular imaging, radiomics, touchless software interactions, robotics, natural language processing, post-procedural outcome prediction, device navigation, and image acquisition are included. Familiarity with AI study analysis will help open the current 'black box' of AI research and help bridge the gap between the research laboratory and clinical practice.
