RESUMO

Background: Immunotherapy increases overall response rate (ORR) and overall survival (OS) in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Prognostic and predictive factors are a high need. Patients and methods: Retrospective review of NSCLC patients treated with nivolumab was performed. Analyzed variables included age, sex, stage, performance status (PS), location of metastases, presence of tumour-related symptoms and comorbidities, number of metastasis locations, previous chemotherapy, anti-angiogenic and radiotherapy treatments, and analytical data from the standard blood count and biochemistry. Results: A total of 175 patients were included. Median age was 61.5 years, 73.1% were men, 77.7% were ECOG-PS 0-1, and 86.7% were included with stage IV disease. Histology was non-squamous in 77.1%. Sixty-five received nivolumab in second line (37.1%). Thirty-eight patients had brain metastasis (22%), and 39 (22.3%) liver metastasis and 126 (72%) had more than one metastatic location. The ORR was 15.7% with median Progression free survival (PFS) 2.8 months and median OS 5.81 months. Stage III vs IV and time since the beginning of the previous line of treatment ≥ 6 vs < 6 months were associated with better response. PS 2, time since the previous line of treatment < 6 vs ≥ 6 months, and more than one metastatic location were independently associated with shorter OS in multivariable analysis (7.8 vs 2.7 months, 11.2 vs 4.6 months, and 9.4 vs 5.1 month). Finally, time since the previous treatment < 6 vs ≥ 6 months and more than one metastatic location were independently associated with shorter PFS in multivariable analysis (4.3 vs 2.3 months and 4.7 vs 2.3 months). Conclusion: Poor PS, short period of time since the previous treatment, and more than one metastatic location were associated with poorer prognostic

RESUMO

Purpose. Head and neck cancer is a highly heterogeneous disease comprising a large number of tumors located in the cervicofacial area. This study aimed to determine the epidemiological characteristics of squamous-cell carcinomas of the head and neck in the Spanish population, and the distribution of risk factors based on tumor locations. Methods/patients. A cohort of 459 patients (75 oral cavity, 167 oro-/hypopharyngeal and 217 laryngeal cancers) recruited in 19 hospitals participating in the Spanish head and neck cancer cooperative group were included over 3 years (2012-2014). Epidemiological parameters and risk factors were obtained from a self-administered questionnaire, and tumor characteristics were obtained from clinical records. Multivariate multinomial logistic regression was used to assess factors associated with tumor location. Results. Most patients were males (88.4 %), smokers (95 %) and drinkers (76.5 %). Relative to laryngeal cancer, pharyngeal cancer and oral cancer were more common in women than men (OR 3.58, p = 0.003 and 4.33, p = 0.001, respectively); pharyngeal cancer was more associated with rural environment (OR 1.81, p = 0.007) and weekly alcohol intake (10-140 g: OR 2.53, p = 0.012; 141-280 g: OR 2.47, p = 0.023; >280 g: OR 3.20, p = 0.001) and less associated with pack-years of smoking (21-40 packs: OR 0.46, p = 0.045; 41-70 packs: OR 0.43, p = 0.023; ≥71 packs: OR 3.20, p = 0.015). Conclusions. The distribution of these tumors differs between the sexes, with a higher proportion of oral cavity and pharyngeal tumors in women than in men. Oro-/hypopharyngeal cancers were more strongly associated with rural areas and with alcohol consumption, although less strongly associated with smoking than laryngeal tumors (AU)

RESUMO

En los últimos 50 años la medicina ha evolucionado más que en los dos siglos anteriores. Sin embargo, existen en la actualidad multitud de patologías que la medicina contemporánea no ha sido capaz de solventar. Hasta hace tan solo unas décadas, los niños diagnosticados de cáncer fallecían en poco tiempo. Así pues, esto ha ido modificándose y más de la mitad llegan a ser supervivientes a largo plazo. Los cuidados paliativos como especialidad se han desarrollado de forma marcada en los últimos años. Sin embargo, destaca una parcela de ella que todavía se encuentra muy lejos de estar establecida, los cuidados paliativos pediátricos (CPP). Los niños presentan necesidades diferentes que es necesario atender. Se pretende revisar el concepto de CPP, haciendo hincapié en las diferencias que presentan los niños con respecto a los adultos y en su problemática específica (AU)


In the last 50 years medicine has evolved more than in the previous two centuries but there are currently many pathologies that modern medicine has not been able to cure. Until a mere few decades ago, children diagnosed with cancer died within a short time. However, this has gradually changed and, nowadays, over half of them become long-term survivors. Palliative care as a medical specialization has markedly developed in recent years. Nevertheless, there is a specific part that is still far from being established, pediatric palliative care (PPC). Children have different needs to be attended. PPC should be reviewed with a special focus on the precise differences present in children and their specific problems (AU)
