RESUMO

Resumen Introducción: La extensión apropiada de los márgenes de resección en el melanoma acral no está claramente establecida. Objetivo: Investigar si la escisión con margen estrecho es adecuada en el melanoma acral grueso. Métodos: Se estudiaron 306 pacientes con melanoma acral. Conforme a la extensión del margen quirúrgico (de 1 a 2 cm y > 2 cm), se analizaron los factores asociados a la recurrencia y la supervivencia. Resultados: De 306 pacientes, 183 fueron mujeres (59.8 %). La mediana del grosor de Breslow fue 6 mm; 224 casos (73.2 %) fueron de tipo ulcerados, 154 pacientes (50.3 %) tenían enfermedad en estadio clínico III, 137 en II (44.8 %) y 15 en IV (4.9 %). Todos los casos presentaron margen negativo, con una mediana de 31.5 mm. Un grosor de Breslow de 7 mm (p = 0.001) y la etapa clínica III (p = 0.031) se asociaron a recurrencia; los factores asociados a la supervivencia fueron el índice de Breslow (p = 0.047), la ulceración (p = 0.003), la etapa clínica avanzada (p < 0.001) y el uso de adyuvancia (p = 0.003). Conclusión: Un margen de resección de 1 a 2 cm no afectó la recurrencia tumoral ni la supervivencia en los pacientes con melanoma acral.


Abstract Introduction: Appropriate size of resection margins in acral melanoma is not clearly established. Objective: To investigate whether narrow-margin excision is appropriate for thick acral melanoma. Methods: Three-hundred and six patients with acral melanoma were examined. Factors associated with recurrence and survival were analyzed according to surgical margin size (1 to 2 cm and > 2 cm). Results: Out of 306 patients, 183 were women (59.8%). Median Breslow thickness was 6 mm; 224 cases (73.2%) were ulcerated, 154 patients (50.3%) had clinical stage III disease, while 137 were at stage II (44.8%) and 15 at stage IV (4.9%). All cases had negative margins, with a median of 31.5 mm. A Breslow thickness of 7 mm (p = 0.001) and clinical stage III (p = 0.031) were associated with recurrence; the factors associated with survival were Breslow index (p = 0.047), ulceration (p = 0.003), advanced clinical stage (p < 0.001), and use of adjuvant therapy (p = 0.003). Conclusion: A resection margin of 1 to 2 cm did not affect tumor recurrence or survival in patients with acral melanoma.

RESUMO

Resumen Introducción: La tuberculosis peritoneal (tuberculosis abdominal) puede ser confundida con una neoplasia maligna. Objetivo: Describir características clínicas y demográficas de pacientes con tuberculosis abdominal que semeja cáncer de ovario avanzado, diagnosticados en un centro oncológico de referencia nacional. Métodos: Se describen las características clínicas y patológicas de nueve pacientes con tuberculosis abdominal que clínicamente semejaba cáncer de ovario avanzado Resultados: La mediana de edad fue de 47 años, el estrato socioeconómico más común fue bajo (44 %). El dolor abdominal y la pérdida ponderal se presentaron en 77.7 %, ascitis en 55.5 %, prueba COMBE positiva en 22.2 % y ausencia de antecedente de tuberculosis pulmonar en 100 %. La elevación de CA-125 se reportó en 77.7 %, con > 500 U/mL en 57.1 %. La tomografía indicó carcinomatosis en 50 % y tumor pélvico y ascitis en 37.5 %. Todas las pacientes fueron sometidas a cirugía; 62.5 % fueron diagnosticadas mediante estudio patológico transoperatorio como enfermedad neoplásica Conclusión: La tuberculosis es considerada como la gran imitadora, por ello se debe tener en mente el diagnóstico de tuberculosis abdominal ante un caso sospechoso, aun cuando la presentación clínica, estudios de imagen e, incluso, el examen transoperatorio sugieran cáncer de ovario.


Abstract Introduction: Peritoneal tuberculosis (abdominal tuberculosis) can be confused with a malignant neoplasm. Objective: To describe clinical and demographic characteristics of patients with abdominal tuberculosis mimicking advanced ovarian cancer, diagnosed in a national reference cancer center. Methods: Clinical and pathological characteristics of nine patients with abdominal tuberculosis that clinically resembled advanced ovarian cancer are described. Results: Median age was 47 years; the most common socioeconomic status was low (44%). Abdominal pain and weight loss occurred in 77.7%; ascites, in 55.5%; 22.2% had a positive COMBE test, and 100% had no history of pulmonary tuberculosis. CA-125 elevation was reported in 77.7%, with levels > 500 U/mL in 57.1%. Tomography reported carcinomatosis in 50% and pelvic tumor and ascites in 37.5%. All patients underwent surgery, where 62.5% were diagnosed by intraoperative pathology study as neoplastic disease. Conclusion: Tuberculosis is considered the great imitator, which is why abdominal tuberculosis diagnosis should be borne in mind when faced with a suspicious case, even when clinical presentation, imaging studies, and even intraoperative examination suggest ovarian cancer.

RESUMO

Abstract: Objective: To determine the exposure to aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in southern Mexico and the presence of the aflatoxin signature mutation in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissue from patients from a cancer referral center. Materials and methods: We estimated the prevalence and distribution of AFB1 in a representative sample of 100 women and men from Chiapas using the National Health and Nutrition Survey 2018-19. We also examined the presence of the aflatoxin signature mutation in codon 249 (R249S), and other relevant mutations of the TP53 gene in HCC tissue blocks from 24 women and 26 men treated in a national cancer referral center. Results: The prevalence of AFB1 in serum samples was 85.5% (95%CI 72.1-93.1) and the median AFB1 was 0.117 pg/µL (IQR, 0.050-0.350). We detected TP53 R249S in three of the 50 HCCs (6.0%) and observed four other G>T transversions potentially induced by AFB1. Conclusion: Our analysis provides evidence that AFB1 may have a relevant role on HCC etiology in Mexico.

RESUMO

Resumen Antecedentes: Los estudios sobre factores pronóstico de melanoma están basados en poblaciones caucásicas, con predominio de melanomas delgados (Breslow < 3 mm). Los pacientes mexicanos muestran predominio de melanomas gruesos (Breslow ≥ 3 mm). Objetivo: Identificar factores asociados al pronóstico de pacientes con melanomas gruesos. Material y métodos: Se analizó la influencia pronóstica de factores clinicopatológicos en 362 melanomas gruesos. Resultados: La mediana de Breslow fue de 7 mm, 271 (74.9 %) pacientes tuvieron melanoma acral y 49 (13.5 %) melanoma nodular. El 56.6 % de los pacientes se encontró en etapa clínica [EC] III), 269 (74.3 %) tenía ulceración y 15 (4.1 %) márgenes positivos. Las variables asociadas con menor supervivencia global [SG] fueron la EC (p < 0.001), Breslow (p = 0.044), ulceración (p = 0.004), mitosis (p < 0.001) y margen < 2 cm (p < 0.001) . En el análisis multivariante los factores que influyen en SG fueron la EC, mitosis y el margen quirúrgico. Conclusiones: En pacientes con melanomas gruesos la SG es influida por un margen positive, mitosis y EC.


Abstract Background: Studies on prognostic factors in melanoma are based on Caucasian populations, with a predominance of thin melanomas (Breslow <3 mm). Mexican patients show a predominance of thick melanomas (Breslow ≥ 3 mm). Objective: To identify factors associated with the prognosis of patients with thick melanomas. Material and methods: The prognostic influence of clinicopathological factors was analyzed in 362 thick melanomas. Results: The Breslow median was 7 mm, 271 (74.9 %) patients had acral melanoma and 49 (13.5 %) nodular melanoma. The 56.6 % of patients were found in clinical stage [CS] III), 269 (74.3 %) had ulceration, and 15 (4.1 %) had positive margins. The variables associated with lower overall survival [OS] were CS (p < 0.001), Breslow (p = 0.044), ulceration (p = 0.004), mitosis (p < 0.001) and margin < 2 cm (p < 0.001). In the multivariate analysis, the factors influencing OS were CD, mitosis, and the surgical margin. Conclusions: In patients with thick melanomas, OS is influenced by a positive margin, mitosis and CS.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT Cervical cancer (CC) is one of the most common gynecological tumors and an important health problem, especially in developing countries. The vast majority of patients in early stages are cured of the disease with surgical treatment and with concomitant chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced stages. However, in patients with recurrent, persistent, or metastatic cervical CC, the effectiveness of treatment is limited, except for the combination of chemotherapy based on platinum doublets plus bevacizumab, the treatment that has achieved the best results to date. Programmed cell death-1/PD ligand-1 (PD-1/PD-L1) inhibitors could be a novel and cutting-edge therapeutic option to improve clinical outcomes in this group of patients. Thus far, there are a few Phase I/II clinical trials that have assessed the usefulness of pembrolizumab and nivolumab in this group of patients; these include the KEYNOTE 028, KEYNOTE 158, and CHECKMATE 358 trials, in which clinical benefit has been proven with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in recurrent, persistent, or metastatic CC, as second-line treatment. There are also some ongoing trials that could provide further evidence on the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway as a therapeutic target in CC. In this review, we will focus on the usefulness of these PD-1/PDL1 inhibitors in CC, as well as on trials that are still in the recruitment phase, to confirm their effectiveness in this clinical setting.
