ABSTRACT

Objetivo: caracterizar a los pacientes oncológicos que presenten episodios de neutropenia febril postquimioterapia ingresados en el Instituto de Oncología y Radiobiología en el periodo de enero a mayo del 2015. Métodos: se realizó un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal a una muestra de 36 pacientes. Se revisaron las historias clínicas donde se tomaron las variables analizadas. Resultados: predominaron los pacientes del sexo femenino (61,1 por ciento). Dentro de las enfermedades oncológicas predominaron los pacientes con Linfomas no Hodgkin (25,0 por ciento) y los medicamentos citostáticos vinculados a la neutropenia fueron el carboplatino, paclitaxel, ifosfamida y etopósido. La recuperación hematológica se logró en la mayoría de los casos antes de las 72 horas y el mayor número de pacientes (72,2 por ciento) fueron clasificados como una neutropenia de bajo riesgo, según los criterios de la Multinational Association for Supportive Care. Conclusiones: en la muestra estudiada la neutropenia febril presenta un incremento proporcional con la edad y las enfermedades de origen hematopoyéticos, cuyos esquemas quimioterápicos consisten en altas dosis de agentes citostáticos(AU)


Objective: to characterize the oncological patients who present with post chemotherapy febrile neutropenia and were admitted to the Institute of Oncology and Radiobiology in the period of January to May, 2015. Methods: a descriptive cross-sectional study of a sample of 36 patients. Their medical histories were checked from which the analyzed variables were taken. Results: females predominated in the study (61,1 percent). Among the oncological diseases, non-Hodgkin lymphomas (25,0 percent) prevailed whereas the cytostatic drugs found related to neutropenia were carboplatin, paclitaxel, ifosfamide and etoposide. The hematological recovery was reached in most cases before 72 hours and a lot of patients (72, 2 percent) were classified as low risk neutropenia according to the Multinational Association for Supportive Care criteria. Conclusions: in the study sample, the febrile neutropenia increases with the age and with hematopoietic diseases whereas chemotherapy schemes are based on high dose cytostatic agents(AU)

ABSTRACT

Hodgkin's lymphoma [HL] is a disease of good response on initial radio-chemotherapy, but there is a ratio of 5-35% does not respond, and some relapses after initial chemotherapy [CT] appear to have a poor prognosis, especially if the duration of the first complete remission [CR] was short. So the aim was to improve the survival by use the combination of VIP. Prospective Study of patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma, of age more than 13 years, who had relapses after combination of ABVD, and the resistant cases. Diagnosed in Almouassat hospital, within 1/2004- 1/2oo9. Then the patients were treated with the combination of VIP. Evaluation of relapse and resistant depended on CT-scan, biopsy, and Gallium scanning. 32 patients were in first relapse or resistance. they were divided into 3 groups, group-1: included 15 patients [47%] without bad prognosis, the interval of end treatment- relapse is about 4,5 years, Treated with ABVD. result was complete remission in 12 patients [80%]. Group- 2; included nine relapsed patients with bad prognosis; the interval of end treatment- relapse is about 1 year, treated with combination of VIP and Radiation Therapy if It is necessary. Result was complete remission in 3 patients, partial remission in 3 patients, and resistance in 2 patients. The whole response is 78%. Group- 3; included 6 resistant patients, treated with combination of VIP combination CT followed by radiotherapy [RT], result was complete remission in 4 patients [78%], partial remission in 2 patients. There was a significant difference, especially in group-3. The protocol ABVD is still the treatment of choice in patients with far relapse and without bad prognosis. while The combination of VIP, followed by radiotherapy or no, is useful and efficacy in resistant and relapse Hodgkin's lymphoma.

ABSTRACT

Desmoplastic small round cell tumor is a recently recognized and rare clinicopathologic entity with distinctive morphologic and immuno histochemical features .Moreover, specific cytogenetics abnormalities and molecular characteristics have been described and confirmed its identity. It is often located at the abdominal cavity, but can exceptionally be located at the cerebral level or some soft tissue and the bones of the members. We report a case of Desmoplastic small round cell involving gluteal muscle and iliac bone at a 25-year-old girl. Our patient had been treated by chemotherapy based on ifosfamide, doxorubicine, etoposide and cis platine. The evolution was marked by the tumoral progress and the death of the patient 18 months after the discovery of the disease. The second case is a 27-year old man .He had a retro peritoneal desmoplastic small round cell tumor treated by surgery alone. The evolution was marked by metastasis and the patient died 10 months after diagnosis. The prognosis of these tumors remains unclear in spite of the mulitidisciplinary treatment. Hence the necessity of new lines of therapeutic research

ABSTRACT

The prognosis for patients with primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma (PCNSL) who relapse after the initial response is usually poor. A standard treatment for relapsed PCNSL has not yet been identified because of the heterogeneity of the therapies employed and the lack of large, prospective clinical trials. We describe a 46-year-old relapsed PCNSL patient who was successfully treated with intraventricular applications of rituximab to minimize neurotoxicity, 2 cycles of salvage chemotherapy with etoposide, ifosfamide, and cytarabine (VIA) regimen and high-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell rescue. The high-dose chemotherapy consisted of bischloroethylnitrosourea, etoposide, cytarabine, and melphalan (BEAM) regimen. Partial remission was detected after intraventricular rituximab therapy and the patient has been in complete remission without evidence of neurotoxicity for 28 months after high-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell rescue. This case indicates a new appropriate treatment guideline in relapsed PCNSL patient after initial intensive chemo-radiotherapy.

ABSTRACT

Undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma is a rare primary malignant neoplasm of the liver. Undifferentiated sarcoma of the liver in adult is an uncommon hepatic tumor of mesenchymal origin, generally considered an aggressive neoplasm with an unfavorable prognosis. We present a case of undifferentiated sarcoma in a 61-year-old woman. CT scan demonstrated a large heterogenous, exophytic growing hepatic mass in the right lobe with pulmonary metastatic nodules. US guided liver biopsy was done and pathological findings of the liver specimen revealed that isolated or grouped round pleomorphic cells and spindle to stellate cells were present. Immunohistochemical stain showed that tumor cells expressed positivity for vimentin and partially positivity or negativity for cytokeratin. She was diagnosed as having undifferentiated sarcoma of the liver. She received seven courses of VAIA chemotherapy by CWS protocols. Chemotherapy was efficacious and the size of the tumor decreased considerably after the treatment. No tumor recurrence for 12 months is noted.

ABSTRACT

Primary hepatic lymphoma is rare malignancy. Cures in this disease are uncommon. We report a young male who was diagnosed as a case of primary lymphoma of the liver in 1992. He was treated with chemotherapy only, which included CHOP (Cyclophosphamide, Adriamycin, Vincristine and Prednisolone) - six cycles; and IMVP-16 (Ifosfamide, Methotrexate and Etoposide) -four cycles. The patient is now disease free and alive for more than five years.

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

Existen grandes avances en el manejo de los linfomas; desafortunadamente un porcentaje variable de casos recaerán a regímenes de primera línea. Se informan los resultados preliminares de 17 pacientes con diagnóstico de linfoma de Hodgkin refractarios a manejo de primera línea o refractarios. El esquema utilizado fue cada 3-4 semanas: combinación de etopósido 100 mg/m² por tres días, platino 100 mg/m² e ifosfamida 5g/m² fraccionados en tres días, mesna al 20 por ciento de la dosis diaria de ifosfamida por tres dosis; y dexametasona de 20 a 40 mg cada 24 horas por tres días. Trece de los 17 pacientes fueron evaluables para eficacia (dos aún en tratamiento; los otros dos abandonaron la terapia) y 16 fueron evaluables para toxicidad en 74 ciclos administrados. Se obtuvieron 11 respuestas totales (84 por ciento): seis respuestas (46 por ciento) Äcon supervivencia libre de enfermedad mínima de dos meses y máxima de 11 mesesÄ y cinco respuestas parciales (38 por ciento). La toxicidad más frecuente y grave fue neutropenia grado 4 (20 por ciento) con dos muertos por septicemia y plaquetopenia grado 4 (7 por ciento). El resto de los efectos tóxicos fueron leves y reversibles. No se observó toxicidad vasical. Concluimos que el esquema utilizado es efectivo, pero conlleva toxicidad grave en una cuarta parte de los ciclos. Consideramos que es conveniente incluir factores estimulantes de colonias en este tratamiento

ABSTRACT

Entre junio de 1988 y 1992 tratamos 17 pacientes portadores de tumores germinales con enfermedad recurrente o refractaria luego de terapia estándar con el régimen PEI (Platino: 100 mg/m2, Etopósido 75 mg/m2, Ifosfamida 1.2 g/m2x5 con rescate mesna 1200 mg/díax5) con el objeto de evaluar la eficacia y la toxicidad del régimen. 16 casos fueron de origen testicular y uno, mediastinal. Todos de sexo masculino. La edad promedio: 27.59 años (STD 6.77 años). Según la clasificación de Indiana al debut: enfermedad avanzada 10(58.82 por ciento), moderada 6(35.29 por ciento) y mínimo 1(5.88 por ciento). Siete fueron relapsos luego de haber estado sin evidencia de enfermedad con un PLE de 9.85 meses. El índice de respuestas fue 70.6 por ciento (95 por ciento CI 48.98-92.25) de los cuales 8(47.05 por ciento) (95 por ciento CI 23,3-70.7) alcanzaron RC,4(23,53 por ciento) (95 por ciento CI 3.37-43.69) tuvieron RP y 5(29.4 por ciento) (95 por ciento CI 7.75-51.06) no respondieron. 4 (23.52 por ciento) se encuentran libres de enfermedad, 4(23.52 por ciento) estan vivos pero con enfermedad activa. 9 pacientes han fallecido, uno sin evidencia de enfermedad por una complicación no atribuible al tratamiento y los 8 restantes por enfermedad evolutiva. Los factores asociados con buena respuesta fueron: categoría de enfermedad inicial mínima o moderada, respuesta completa a terapia inicial y volumen de enfermedad al inicio de terapia de rescate. Todos los pacientes tuvieron algún grado de toxicidad hematológica, 11(64,7 por ciento) de grado 4(WMO). Un paciente desarrolló toxicidad renal grado 4. No se observaron casos de hematuria. En conclusión: El régimen PEI es efectivo como terapia de rescate en los pacientes considerados como relapsos a terapia inicial y los que tienen enfermedad residual mínima y pudiera ser considerado como parte de la estrategia inicial en los pacientes con factores de pronóstico desfavorable. Los pacientes con enfermedad refractaria al tratamiento inicial no son buenos candidatos para este esquema de rescate.

ABSTRACT

O prognóstico de pacientes com linfoma maligno refratário ou recorrente é ruim. Para melhorar a resposta ao tratamento destes pacientes, um esquema terapêutico com IMVP-Bleo (ifosfamida e mesna, metotrexato, etoposídeo, bleomicina) foi administrado. Dos 18 pacientes tratados, 16 apresentavam linfoma nao-Hodgkin (LNH), 13 de grau intermediário e 3 de baixo grau; 2 pacientes apresentavam doença de Hodgkin (DH). Todos pacientes receberam qumioterapia prévia, sendo que 8 apresentaram recidiva e 10 foram refratários ao tratamento de primeira linha. A taxa de resposta global obtida foi de 83,3 por cento, com 55,6 por cento de remissäo completa (RC) e 27,8 por cento de remissäo parcial (RP). Embora o tempo de estudo seja curto, nossos resultados indicam uma boa efetividade deste protocolo, como terapêutica de resgate com toxicidade aceitável. Baseado em vários estudos que mostram uma boa resposta e tolerabilidade ao esquema IMVP-Bleo; sabendo-se que o tratamento de resgate nunca é täo efetivo como o de primeira linha, e que qualquer esquema de resgate pode ser testado como primeira linha; parece razoável que este esquema possa ser introduzido como parte do tratamento de primeira linha para pacientes portadores de linfoma com fatores prognósticos desfavoráveis.
