RESUMO

Background: There is no standard systemic therapy for unresectable cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (ucSCC), although various chemotherapy regimens have been reported. In our department, concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) for ucSCC resulted in a 1-year survival rate similar to that of resectable cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). Treatment involves continued chemotherapy after CCRT. Here, we report the importance of continued chemotherapy after CCRT, based on treatment outcomes. Patients and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 13 patients with ucSCC, assessing the overall survival, overall response rate (ORR), and disease control rate (DCR). Results: CCRT with continued chemotherapy resulted in an ORR of 84.6%, DCR of 92.3%, and 1-year survival rate of 75%. Of the 13 patients treated with CCRT with continued chemotherapy, 6 had no metastasis. The remaining 7 patients developed metastasis to other organs or lymph nodes beyond the regional lymph nodes, although most sites of metastasis were outside the irradiation area. Conclusion: We conclude that CCRT with continued chemotherapy was effective in treating the irradiation site (primary lesion and regional lymph nodes) and any organ metastasis, although, it is unclear for how long the treatment remains effective.

RESUMO

Pyrexia is the most common adverse event in patients with melanoma or other solid organ malignancies that are treated with the combination of dabrafenib and trametinib (combi-DT). Given the expanded indication for combi-DT, management of pyrexia is a high priority. No previous case series has revealed which blood markers reflect the course of pyrexia and there is no consensus on the management strategy for pyrexia. The current case series study describes the utility of neutrophil count (NC), neutrophil ratio (NR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in 11 patients with metastatic melanoma and BRAF V600 mutations who experienced pyrexia during combi-DT in our department. We also described the clinical course of pyrexia episodes that were managed with the concomitant use of oral prednisolone and immediate withdrawal of combi-DT. Consequently, the analysis of 37 pyrexia episodes in 11 patients showed that the differences in NC, NR and CRP at the onset of pyrexia were significantly different from those at pyretolysis (P = 0.01, 0.006 and 0.03, respectively). Additionally, in the 24 pyrexia episodes treated with the concomitant use of oral prednisolone and the immediate withdrawal of combi-DT, the mean duration of pyrexia and the mean time to restart combi-DT were 3 and 6 days, respectively. Therefore, the blood markers that reflect the course of pyrexia during combi-DT may be helpful for the appropriate management of pyrexia; also, our management strategy for pyrexia successfully reduced the duration of pyrexia and did not require a long-term drug holiday. Further large-scale studies are required to verify our results.

RESUMO

Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is a rare cutaneous malignancy that mainly affects the senior population. There is a relatively high risk of postoperative complications from surgery in the senior population, such as disuse syndrome, deep vein thrombosis and postoperative delirium. To prevent such postoperative complications, early ambulation is recommended. However, EMPD often requires extensive skin grafting because of the need for a large resection margin. To avoid skin graft failure, many institutions require that patients have several days of postoperative bedrest. For these reasons, there has been no consensus on standard postoperative rest for EMPD. In this study, we defined 20 patients who walked from the day after surgery as an "early ambulation group" and 23 patients with 5 days postoperative bedrest as a "control group". We evaluated the skin graft survival, postoperative complications and the duration of hospitalization for both groups. Skin graft survival and complications related to the surgical wounds (infection and hemorrhage) in the early ambulation group were found to be comparable with those in the control group. Of note, the other complications (aspiration pneumonia, ileus, delirium, orthostatic hypotension and insomnia) were less frequent (P < 0.001) and the duration of postoperative hospitalization was shorter (P = 0.013) in the early ambulation group than in the control group. Our study suggests that early ambulation after surgery for EMPD does not impair skin graft survival but reduces postoperative complications and the duration of hospitalization.
