ABSTRACT

La toxicidad pulmonar por antineoplásicos es muy variable dependiente del grupo far-macológico; la bleomicina es uno de los medicamentos en los que se ha reportado este evento. Este citostático puede lesionar el endotelio pulmonar y el epitelio alveolar para llevar a un proceso inflamatorio y fibrótico del intersticio con repercusiones potencial-mente fatales.A continuación, se presenta un caso de enfermedad intersticial tipo neumonía organi-zada asociada a bleomicina en un paciente de 68 años con diagnóstico linfoma Hodg-kin clásico de tipo esclerosis nodular, con estudio imagenológico normal previo al tratamiento


Antineoplastic pulmonary toxicity is highly variable depending on the pharmacological group; bleomycin is one of the drugs in which this event has been reported. This cyto-static can injure the pulmonary endothelium and the alveolar epithelium to lead to an in-flammatory and fibrotic process of the interstitium with potentially fatal repercussions. The following is a case of interstitial disease type organizing pneumonia associated with bleomycin in a 68-year-old patient diagnosed with classical Hodgkin lymphoma of nodular sclerosis type, with imaging study prior to normal treatment

ABSTRACT

En el tratamiento del cáncer de mama, son varias las técnicas que se describen en materia de radioterapia oncológica. Objetivo: La investigación pretendió analizar la técnica de mama prona en cuanto a beneficio para las pacientes con cáncer de mama estadios I y II en el servicio de radioterapia oncológica y medicina nuclear del Hospital Universitario de Caracas. Métodos: Se trata de un estudio descriptivo, prospectivo y comparativo con una muestra conformada por 20 pacientes. Los casos se registraron en el instrumento de recolección de datos del paciente. Para este estudio se emplearon las técnicas de la estadística descriptiva. Resultados: La frecuencia de pacientes atendidas tuvo un aumento interanual entre 35 % y 40 %. El 60 % de las pacientes presentaron estadio IB, 25 % IA y 15 % con estadio IIA. Conclusión: La posición prona es una técnica reproducible que beneficia principalmente a las pacientes con mamas grandes y/o péndulas, permite protección del corazón excluyendo el haz del rayo a nivel cardiaco(AU)


In the treatment of breast cancer, there are several techniques that are described in terms of radiation therapy. Objetive: The research aimed to analyze the prone breast technique in terms of benefit for patients with stage I and II breast cancer in the oncological radiotherapy and nuclear medicine service of the University Hospital of Caracas. Methods: This is a descriptive, prospective and comparative study with a sample consisting of 20 patients. The cases were recorded in the patient data collection instrument. For this study, the techniques of descriptive statistics were used. Results: the frequency of patients attended had an interannual increase between 35 % and 40 %. 60 % of the patients presented stage IB, 25 % IA and 15 % with stage IIA. Conclusion: The prone position is a reproducible technique that mainly benefits the patients with large breasts and / or pendulums, allows protection of the heart excluding the beam of the ray at cardiac level(AU)

ABSTRACT

Con la utilización de sirolimus en pacientes trasplantados, se han reportado casos de neumonitis intersticial, bronquiolitis obliterante y neumonía organizada. Nosotros describimos un caso de toxicidad pulmonar asociada al uso de sirolimus en un paciente de 59 años con trasplante hepático, revisamos los reportes de caso donde se describía toxicidad pulmonar asociada al uso de sirolimus en pacientes con trasplante hepático, con el objetivo de encontrar similitudes en factores de riesgo, manifestaciones clínicas y desenlaces. De los cinco casos reportados desde enero de 2000, incluyendo el presente, encontramos que las manifestaciones clínicas fueron similares presentándose fiebre, disnea, fatiga, tos y hemoptisis. Con la suspensión del medicamento, los pacientes resolvieron sus signos, síntomas y hallazgos imagenológicos. La toxicidad pulmonar asociada a sirolimus debe ser considerada como diagnóstico diferencial de aquellos pacientes con trasplante hepático que reciban este medicamento y presenten manifestaciones respiratorias, pues la suspensión del medicamento lleva a la resolución del cuadro.


Sirolimus is an immunosuppressive drug that has been used during the past few years. Sirolimus is indicated in rescue therapies and to reduce the secondary toxic effects of calcineurin inhibitors. This drug has been associated with infrequent but severe pulmonary toxicity. Cases of interstitial pneumonitis, bronchiolitis obliterans with organizing pneumonia, and alveolar proteinosis have been described. We describe a case of pulmonary toxicity associated with the use of sirolimus in a 59-yr-old liver transplant recipient. We also review all reported cases of sirolimus-associated lung toxicity among liver transplantation recipients, with the intention of understanding the risk factors, the clinical picture and the outcomes of this complication. Five cases have been reported since January 2000, including the present case. Clinical presentation is similar, with fever, dyspnea, fatigue, cough, and hemoptysis. Discontinuation of the drug led to resolution of clinical and radiographic findings. Sirolimus-induced pulmonary toxicity is a serious condition and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of liver recipients presenting with respiratory findings. Discontinuation of the drug is associated with resolution of the pulmonary compromise.
