RESUMO

Advanced endometrial cancer is associated with poor outcomes and few treatment options exist. Recently, the US Federal Drug Administration approved pembrolizumab for the treatment of endometrial cancers that are deficient in mismatch repair and have high microsatellite instability (MSI). Lynch syndrome is an autosomal dominant disease that causes MSI-high endometrial cancer. We report a case of a 46-year-old woman with Lynch syndrome and advanced endometrial cancer who experienced progressive disease after treatment with chemotherapy with carboplatin and paclitaxel. She was then treated with single-agent pembrolizumab and had an exceptional response. She was noted to have a significant decrease in the size of a large uterine mass extending into the vagina and vulva, as well as decrease in the size of lymphadenopathy. Data are limited at this time for patients with Lynch syndrome treated with single-agent pembrolizumab. Our case report seeks to add to the body of literature that suggests that this patient population may particularly benefit from this novel therapy.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Inherent in the care provided to patients with cancer is an important psychosocial element which has been explored scientifically through qualitative research. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the availability of qualitative research in gynaecologic oncology and to measure its integration in gynaecologic oncology practice guidelines. METHODS: We searched Medline, CINHAL, Scopus, and Web of Science databases to identify the availability of qualitative research conducted in the past 20 years on the three most prevalent gynaecologic cancers: endometrial, ovarian, and cervical cancer. National and international practice guidelines on management of gynaecologic cancers were selected using the National Guideline Clearinghouse website, the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada website, and the Standards and Guidelines Evidence directory of cancer guidelines. Bibliometric analysis was used to determine the frequency of qualitative references cited in these guidelines. RESULTS: One hundred thirteen qualitative research papers on gynaecologic cancers were identified focusing on psychological impacts, social dynamics, and doctor-patient interactions during cancer treatment and recovery. Among the 15 national and international clinical practice guidelines identified on management of gynaecologic cancer, there were a total of 2272 references, and of these only three references citing qualitative research were identified (0.1%) in only one of the 15 practice guidelines. CONCLUSION: Although qualitative research is being carried out in gynaecologic oncology, its integration into clinical practice guidelines is essentially absent. Efforts to narrow the gap between qualitative research and clinical practice are essential in ensuring a comprehensive approach to the treatment of patients with gynaecologic cancer.


Objectif : Les soins offerts aux patientes atteintes d'un cancer comptent une importante composante psychosociale, laquelle a été explorée de façon scientifique par l'intermédiaire de la recherche qualitative. Notre étude avait pour objectif d'évaluer la disponibilité de la recherche qualitative en gynéco-oncologie et d'en mesurer l'intégration aux directives cliniques relevant du domaine de la gynéco-oncologie. Méthodes : Nous avons mené des recherches dans diverses bases de données (Medline, CINHAL, Scopus et Web of Science) en vue de cerner la disponibilité de la recherche qualitative menée au cours des 20 dernières années au sujet des trois cancers gynécologiques les plus prévalents : les cancers de l'endomètre, de l'ovaire et du col utérin. Des directives cliniques nationales et internationales portant sur la prise en charge des cancers gynécologiques ont été sélectionnées au moyen du site Web National Guideline Clearinghouse, du site Web de la Société des obstétriciens et gynécologues du Canada, et du répertoire Standards and Guidelines Evidence de lignes directrices sur le cancer. Une analyse bibliométrique a été utilisée pour déterminer la fréquence des références qualitatives citées dans les directives cliniques en question. Résultats : Nous avons identifié 113 mémoires de recherche qualitative portant sur des cancers gynécologiques qui se centraient sur les effets psychologiques, sur la dynamique sociale et sur les interactions médecin-patiente dans le cadre du traitement anticancéreux et de la récupération. Au sein des 15 directives cliniques nationales et internationales portant sur la prise en charge des cancers gynécologiques que nous avons identifiées, nous avons dénombré un total de 2 272 références; parmi ces dernières, seules trois références citant une recherche qualitative ont été identifiées (0,1 %), et ce, au sein d'une seule directive clinique parmi les 15 qui ont été analysées. Conclusion : Bien que des efforts de recherche qualitative soient menés dans le domaine de la gynéco-oncologie, l'intégration de leurs résultats aux directives cliniques est essentiellement inexistante. La mise en œuvre de mesures visant à combler l'écart entre la recherche qualitative et la pratique clinique s'avère essentielle pour assurer l'utilisation d'une approche exhaustive envers le traitement des patientes qui présentent un cancer gynécologique.
