ABSTRACT

Introducción: La ifosfamida es un agente alquilante utilizado para el tratamiento de enfermedades oncohematológicas. Entre sus eventos adversos agudos se encuentra la neurotoxicidad. Esta puede presentarse desde el inicio de la infusión hasta tres días después. El tratamiento consiste en suspender la administración y asegurar una adecuada hidratación. Objetivo: Describir eventos neurológicos asociados al uso de ifosfamida en pacientes pediátricos con enfermedades oncohematológicas. Materiales y métodos: Estudio observacional, descriptivo, retrospectivo y transversal. Los datos se obtuvieron de historias clínicas de pacientes internados en el Hospital Garrahan que infundieron ifosfamida y desarrollaron síntomas neurológicos. Se analizaron edad, diagnóstico de base, dosis de ifosfamida, síntomas neurológicos y su relación con la infusión, tratamiento instaurado, exámenes complementarios y posibles factores de riesgo asociados. Resultados: Se registraron un total de catorce eventos neurológicos en doce pacientes, sin diferencia de sexo, con una mediana de edad de 9,5 años. La enfermedad de base más prevalente fue osteosarcoma. Las convulsiones fueron el síntoma más frecuente (50%), seguido de somnolencia y paresias. La combinación de ifosfamida y etopósido con/sin carboplatino se asoció en un 36% cada uno. El 64% desarrolló neurotoxicidad dentro de las primeras cuatro horas. Ningún paciente presentó alteraciones en los exámenes complementarios. Todos presentaron recuperación ad integrum. Conclusión: Este estudio brinda información acerca del tiempo de aparición de esta complicación, lo cual facilitará su detección precoz y tratamiento oportuno (AU)


Introduction: Ifosfamide is an alkylating agent used for the treatment of cancer. Among its acute adverse events is neurotoxicity. This can occur from the beginning of the infusion up to three days afterwards. Treatment consists of discontinuing administration and ensuring adequate hydration. Objective: To describe neurological events associated with the use of ifosfamide in children with cancer. Materials and methods: Observational, descriptive, retrospective, and cross-sectional study. Data were obtained from clinical records of patients admitted to the Garrahan Hospital who received ifosfamide infusion and developed neurological symptoms. Age, baseline diagnosis, ifosfamide dose, neurological symptoms and their relationship with the infusion, treatment, complementary tests, and possible associated risk factors were analyzed. Results: A total of fourteen neurological events were recorded in twelve patients, without difference in sex and with a median age of 9.5 years. The most prevalent underlying disease was osteosarcoma. Seizures were the most frequent symptom (50%), followed by drowsiness and paresis. The combination of ifosfamide and etoposide with/without carboplatin was associated in 36% each. Sixty-four percent developed neurotoxicity within the first four hours. None of the patients presented with abnormalities in the complementary examinations. All recovered ad integrum. Conclusion: This study provides information about the time of onset of this complication, which will facilitate its early detection and timely treatment (AU)

ABSTRACT

Ifosfamide-induced Fanconi syndrome is a rare complication that typically occurs in young patients due to a cumulative dose of ifosfamide > 40-60 g/m2, a reduction in kidney mass, or concurrent cisplatin treatment. It is usually characterized by severe and fatal progression accompanied by type II proximal renal tubular dysfunction, as evidenced by glycosuria, proteinuria, electrolyte loss, and metabolic acidosis. Diabetes insipidus is also a rare complication of ifosfamide-induced renal disease. We herein describe a case involving a 61-year-old man who developed ifosfamide-induced Fanconi syndrome accompanied by diabetes insipidus only a few days after the first round of chemotherapy. He had no known risk factors. In addition, we briefly review the mechanisms and possible therapeutic options for this condition based on other cases in the literature. Patients who receive ifosfamide must be closely monitored for renal impairment to avoid this rare but fatal complication.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the possible protective effect of recombinant human interleukin-11 (rhIL-11) against ifosfamide (IFS)-induced hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) MATERIALS AND METHODS: Male Swiss mice (20-30g) were pretreated with rhIL-11 (25-625 mg, subcutaneously.) 30 min before intraperitoneal injection of IFS (400 mg/kg) or with saline (control group). Twelve hours later, HC was evaluated by bladder wet weight (BWW) to quantify edema, Evans blue extravasation (EBE) to measure vascular permeability, and macroscopic and microscopic analysis. All bladders were assessed by histopathological analysis RESULTS: rhIL-11 (at 125 and 625 mg) attenuated the IFS- induced increase of BWW (37.48 percent and 45.44 percent, respectively, p < 0.05) and EBE (62.35 percent and 56.47 percent, respectively, p < 0.05). IFS- induced macroscopic edema and hemorrhage and microscopic alterations, were also prevented by rhIL-11 at 625 mg. (p < 0.05) CONCLUSION: Our results demonstrate a protective effect of rhIL-11 on experimental IFS- induced HC, not previously reported.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: In patients with small-volume disseminated disease of germ cell tumors, cure can be achieved with four cycles of bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin (BEP). However, around 20% of these cases are not curable. Strategies to improve cure rates have shown that none of the currently available modalities were superior to the others. Among the most used ones, BEP and VIP (etoposide, cisplatin, and ifosfamide) have been the most studied. However, there are no reports comparing the two, except for a few in abstract forms from southern India. Therefore, we did a treatment outcome and cost-effectiveness analysis of two chemotherapeutic regimens (BEP vs VIP) that are used in poor-prognosis metastatic germ cell tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: All male patients with germ cell tumors, diagnosed as having poor risk by IGCCCG, between January 2002 and December 2004 were included in the study. Clinical, laboratory, and other data were recorded. The patients were stratified into two categories on the basis of the type of chemotherapeutic regimen they received. RESULTS: In all, 46 patients were analyzed, with a median follow up of 26.6 months. The baseline characteristics (age, stage, PS, histology, and serum markers) were not different in the two treatment arms. There is no significant difference in the outcome with either of the chemotherapeutic modalities. VIP is less cost effective and more toxic compared to BEP. CONCLUSION: In view of the greater toxicity and cost of therapy, as well as lack of either overall or disease free survival advantage, VIP is not a preferred option for patients with high-risk germ cell tumors in the Indian setting and it is still advisable to treat patients with BEP.

ABSTRACT

El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la seguridad y eficacia del ondansetron en niños con neoplasias malignas para prevenir la emesis inducida por agentes antineoplásicos con potentes efectos emetizantes. Se incluyeron 138 niños, 76 varones y 62 mujeres con tumores sólidos que cumplieron 415 ciclos de quimioterapia, desde octubre de 1993 a noviembre de 1994, en la Unidad de Administración de Citostáticos del Hospital de Pediatría "Prof. Dr. Juan P. Garrahan". Las edades oscilaron entre 1 y 17 años con una mediana de 8 para todos los grupos. Se analizaron tres tratamientos: Grupo A) 65 ciclos de quimioterapia con ifosfamida a dosis de 1.800 mg/m2/día (n=29); grupo B) 177 ciclos con ifosfamida a dosis de 3.000 mg/m2/día (n=54) y grupo C) 173 ciclos con cis-platino a dosis > 50 mg/m2/día (n=55). El antiemético utilizado fue el ondansetron a 5 mg/m2/dosis administrado por vía intravenosa cada 8 hs, durante todo el ciclo y hasta el egreso del paciente. Se obtuvo completo control de la emesis en el 69 por ciento de los ciclos en el grupo A; 54 por ciento en el grupo B y 70 por ciento en el grupo C. No se registraron reacciones adversas atribuibles al antiemético utilizado. Comparando los grupos A vs B (z: 2,225; P=0,026); B vs C (z: 3156; P=0,002), la diferencia fue significativa. En los grupos A vs C (z: 0,009; P=0,993), la diferencia no fue significativa. Conclusiones: Si bien el ondansetron resultó ser un antiemético seguro y eficaz en el control de las néuseas y vómitos agudos durante la quimioterapia, la respuesta fue menor en protocolos que incluyeron ifosfamida a 3.000 mg/m2/día, diferencia estadísticamente significativa con los otros dos grupos analizados. La dosis de este citostático influyó en la respuesta antiemética del ondansetron. Sugerimos, en función de los resultados del presente trabajo, modificar el esquema antiemético en protocolos con ifosfamida a 3.000 mg/m2/día o tal vez, prolongar la infusión de este citostático

ABSTRACT

El empleo de dietiletilbestrol difosfato ha sido exitoso para el tratamiento del carcinoma de prostata hormonoresistente. En 44 pacientes con enfermedad medible con centelleograma oseo patológico, un índice medio de Karnofsky de 50 (rango 30-90), edad media 66 años (rango 46-79) y todos tratados previamente con estrógenos, fueron tratados con DES-P o con DES-P más IF/Mesna. Las características clínicas y de laboratorio previas al tratamiento, eran comparables. DES-P se administró a razón de 800 mg/m en infusión iv de 24 horas, disuelto en sol, destrosa 5% 1500 ml, durante 7 días consecutivos. El ciclo se repitió cada 28 días. En el plan con DES-P más IF/Mesna, DES-P se administró con igual metodología; IF/Mesna 5g/m en infusión iv de 24 horas, disuelto en 2000 ml de sol, dextrosa 5%, el día 8§. Los ciclos se repitieron cada 28 días. Se requirieron 2 ciclos para evaluar respuesta, de acuerdo al criterio del Proyecto Nacional de Cáncer de Prostata de los EEUU. La toxicidad hematológica fué leve; se observó hematuria microscópica en 3, y síntomas del SNC en 2 pacientes. El porcentaje de respuesta fué similar con ambos tratamientos, pero el tiempo medio de pregresión y la sobrevida, fueron significativamente superiores con DES-P ñ IF/Mesna
