BackgroundPeritoneal metastasis is one of the most important poor prognostic factors in advanced pancreatic cancer (PC). Whether the prognosis of PC with peritoneal metastasis has improved with the advent of gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel (GnP) and modified FOLFIRINOX (mFFX) is uncertain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the improvements in treatment outcomes of PC with peritoneal metastasis.MethodsWe retrospectively investigated consecutive PC patients with peritoneal metastasis treated with chemotherapy at our institution between 2010 and 2019. We compared the clinical characteristics and survival outcomes according to the period of diagnosis (group A, 2010–2014; group B, 2015–2019) and chemotherapy regimen. We also examined the prognostic factors for overall survival (OS).ResultsAmong 180 patients included (GnP 88; mFFX 14; other regimens 78), distant metastasis was confined to the peritoneum in 89 patients. Although group B had a worse performance status compared to group A, median OS was significantly longer in group B. GnP and mFFX showed a significantly higher objective response rate and disease control rate in addition to longer progression free survival and OS compared to other regimens. The administration of GnP or mFFX, performance status, and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio ≥5 were identified as independent prognostic factors for OS. Furthermore, the amount of ascites and extent of peritoneal metastasis were significantly associated with OS in patients with distant metastasis confined to the peritoneum.ConclusionsThe prognosis of PC with peritoneal metastasis has significantly improved over time with the advent of GnP and mFFX. 相似文献

The SHIELD program for Hodgkin lymphoma in patients 60 years of age or older, prospectively evaluated clinical features and outcome in a large patient cohort (n = 175). The central element was a phase 2 study of VEPEMB chemotherapy (n = 103, median age 73 years) incorporating comorbidity assessment. A total of 72 other patients were treated off-study but registered prospectively and treated concurrently with: ABVD (n = 35); CLVPP (n = 19), or other (n = 18). Of VEPEMB patients, 31 had early-stage disease (stage 1A/2A) and received VEPEMB 3 times plus radiotherapy. Median follow-up was 36 months. Complete remission (CR) rate (intention-to-treat) was 74% and 3-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were 81% and 74%, respectively. A total of 72 patients had advanced-stage disease (stage 1B/2B/3 or 4) and received VEPEMB 6 times. CR rate was 61% with 3-year OS and PFS of 66% and 58%, respectively. Of patients achieving CR, 13% with early-stage and 5% with advanced-stage disease progressed. Overall treatment-related mortality was 7%. In patients treated with curative intent with VEPEMB, ABVD, and CLVPP (n = 157), CR linked to several factors in univariate analysis. In a Cox regression model only, obtaining CR remained significant for OS and CR plus comorbidity and age for PFS. RS-EBV status had no significant effect on outcome. 相似文献

Background and AimsOlder patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma (MPDAC) are under-represented in clinical trials.MethodsOur single-center, retrospective study enrolled MPDAC patients ≥ 70 treated with chemotherapyResults105 patients were divided in groups based on the received treatments: 44 gemcitabine or capecitabine monotherapy (A), 34 nabpaclitaxel-gemcitabine (B) 27 4-drugs combinations (gemcitabine, cisplatin, capecitabine plus either nab-paclitaxel or epirubicin or docetaxel) (C). Group A: median age was 78 (70–87) and Karnofsky performance status (KPS) ≥80 was found in 84% of patients; Group B: median age 77 (71–84) and KPS ≥ 80 in 88% of patients; Group C: median age 73 (70–78) and KPS ≥ 80 in 93% of patients. Median OS was 7.9, 11.7 and 14.2 months in group A, B and C respectively; 1 and 2-year OS were 27% and 8% in group A; 44% and 5% in group B; 52% and 22% in group C. When lung metastatic only patients were excluded, patients <75 and ≥ 75 had similar OS in group A (6.4 vs 5.6 months) and in group B (12.3 vs 11.1 months). In group B grade 3 thrombocytopenia, fatigue and peripheral neuropathy were more frequent in patients ≥ 75.ConclusionsIn older patients, combination chemotherapy shows acceptable feasibility and promising efficacy. 相似文献

BackgroundThis study compared the overall survival (OS) of patients with early-stage primary non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) versus surgery.MethodsA systematic search was performed in MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Central Register, and all available Chinese databases to identify relevant publications from inception to April 2019. This meta-analysis compared hazard ratios (HRs) for OS. A multivariate fixed effects model was used to perform a meta-analysis to compare survival between treatments.ResultsSix retrospective studies were included in the quantitative synthesis. Compared with surgery, RFA was associated with a similar long-term OS. The HRs and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for 2-, 3- and 5-year OS were 1.74 [0.82, 3.71], 1.15 [0.65, 2.02] and 2.69 [0.41, 17.47], respectively, while those of the pooled data were 1.47 [0.94, 2.32] in patients with early-stage primary NSCLC.ConclusionsRFA did not differ signi?cantly from surgery in terms of the 5-year OS in patients with early-stage primary NSCLC. Randomized, controlled clinical trials are warranted to compare these two treatments. 相似文献

The role of Ann Arbor staging in determining treatment intensity after achieving a negative positron emission tomography (PET) has not been established in classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL). Patients with stage I–IV cHL, received three cycles of ABVD (doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, dacarbazine) and an interim PET scan (PET3). PET3-negative patients received no further therapy. PET3-positive patients received three additional cycles of ABVD plus involved-field radiation therapy or salvage chemotherapy, if refractory to ABVD, and were re-evaluated by PET scan (PET6). Study endpoints were 3-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates. Two hundred and thirty-nine patients with early-stage and 138 with advanced-stage were evaluable. Overall, 260 patients (70%) were PET3-negative and had higher 3-year PFS (90% vs. 65%; P < 0·0001) and OS (98% vs. 92%; P = 0·007) rates than PET3-positive patients. All PET3-negative patients, regardless of disease stage at diagnosis, achieved similarly good PFS (90–91%; P = 0·76) and OS (97–99%). The only independent prognostic factor for PFS was PET3-negativity (Hazard ratio 3·8; 95% confidence interval 2·4–6·3; P < 0·0001). This study suggests that cHL patients who achieve a negative PET3 following ABVD have an excellent outcome, regardless of stage at diagnosis. An appropriately powered, phase III trial will be necessary to confirm these findings. 相似文献

Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a curable malignancy which shows a bimodal curve in incidence in economically developed countries; there is a putative association with Epstein–Barr virus. The WHO 2008 classification schema recognises two histological types of HL: the nodular lymphocyte predominant and the “classic” HL. The latter encompasses four entities: nodular sclerosis, mixed cellularity, lymphocyte depletion, and lymphocyte-rich. Most patients with HL present with asymptomatic superficial lymphadenopathy. The commonest sites of disease are the cervical, supraclavicular and mediastinal lymph nodes, while sub-diaphragmatic presentations and bone marrow and hepatic involvement are less common. Splenic involvement is usually concomitant with hepatic disease and systemic symptoms; extranodal presentations are quite rare. Systemic symptoms are present in ~35% of cases. The stage of disease is defined according to the Ann Arbor staging system or its Cotswolds variant, and staging work-up includes physical examination, chest X-rays, chest and abdominal CT scan, and bone marrow biopsy. 18FDG-PET (18fluordeoxyglucose positron emission tomography) plays a central role in staging, response assessment and prognosis definition.Classic HL usually spreads by contiguity within the lymphatic tissue network, with a late extension to adjacent and distant viscera. Mortality from HL has been progressively decreasing, as confirmed by the most recent 5-year survival figure of 81%. The list of putative prognostic factors in HL has been increasing, but most factors still require prospective validation. Some of these variables are used to stratify early-stage disease into “favourable” and “unfavourable” categories, with “unfavourable early-stage” being intermediate between “favourable early-stage” and “advanced-stage”.ABVD (adriamycin(doxorubicin), bleomycin, vinblastine, dacarbazine) combination chemotherapy followed by involved-field irradiation is the standard treatment for patients with early-stage HL, with a 5-year OS >95%. Several trials assessing less intensive approaches for patients with favourable early-stage HL are ongoing. More intensified combinations, such as the BEACOPP (bleomycin, etoposide, adriamycin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine (Oncovin), procarbazine, prednisone) regimen, are being investigated, usually in patients with unfavourable early-stage HL and interim PET+. ABVD is the standard chemotherapy treatment also for patients with advanced disease. Although some evidence suggests that more intensive combinations provide better disease control, the inevitable increased risk of relevant late toxicity worries investigators. Consequently, there has been a shift towards investigating the innovative strategy of a more aggressive schedule for patients with 18FDG-PET positive results after the first 2 courses of ABVD. High-dose chemotherapy supported by ASCT (autologous stem cell transplantation) is considered the standard of care in patients with HL which has relapsed after, or is refractory to conventional chemoradiotherapy, while allogeneic transplant is a suitable tool for patients with chemorefractory disease and patients failed after ASCT. 相似文献

Dose-intensity of chemotherapy is important in the treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) is commonly used to maintain it. We reviewed all newly diagnosed HL patients who were treated at our institution between 1996 and 2005. Fifty-nine patients received adriamycin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (ABVD) chemotherapy with no dose reductions, treatment delays, and without G-CSF, regardless of absolute neutrophil count (ANC). The median ANC on all ABVD treatment days (n = 658) was 0.925 x 10(9)/l, and was <0.5 x 10(9)/l on 26% of treatment days. Median normalised ABVD dose-intensity was 99.1% (range, 93-100%) and median cycle duration was 28.2 d. Incidence of bleomycin lung toxicity was 1.6%, 0.44% treatments were complicated by febrile neutropenia, and no secondary malignancies have occurred (median follow-up 48 months; range, 11-130 months). Five-year event-free (EFS) and overall survival (OS) were 92.9% and 97.4% respectively. Furthermore, the 5-year EFS and OS (87.4% and 94.1% respectively) for advanced stage patients compared favourably with a similar ABVD patient group who received routine prophylactic G-CSF (n = 23) with EFS 80.0% and OS 91.3% (P = 0.46 and 0.67 respectively). Our experience suggests that ABVD may be safely and effectively administered at >99% dose-intensity without G-CSF support, regardless of the ANC. 相似文献

Objective Graft failure (GF) is a life-threatening complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). A standardized conditioning regimen and an appropriate graft source of salvage HSCT for GF have not yet been established. Some case series have shown good hematopoietic recoveries after salvage HSCT using a short-term reduced-intensity preparative regimen consisting of fludarabine (30-90 mg/m2), cyclophosphamide (2 g/m2), and total-body irradiation (2 Gy). However, the dose of fludarabine has varied in these reports based on the clinical condition of the patients, resulting in very limited experiences with each dose of fludarabine. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 10 patients who developed GF after allogeneic HSCT and underwent salvage cord blood transplantation (CBT) using the above-mentioned conditioning regimen with a fixed dose (90 mg/m2) of fludarabine. Results Eight patients (80.0%) achieved neutrophil engraftment within 30 days from salvage HSCT with a median of 21 (range, 17-23) days. The 1-year overall survival (OS) rate after the salvage HSCT was 50.0%, and the median OS was 281 (range, 23-1,638) days. Cumulative incidences of non-relapse mortality and relapse at 1 year were 50.0% and 10.0%, respectively. Conclusion CBT using this short-term reduced-intensity conditioning regimen may be a promising salvage therapy for GF. 相似文献

Survival rates for elderly Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) have not improved substantially in recent years, mainly because of a lack of prospective randomized studies, due to difficulties in enrolling patients. Between 2002 and 2006, 54 untreated HL patients, aged between 65 and 80 years and considered ‘non‐frail’ according to a comprehensive geriatric evaluation, were enrolled into a phase III randomized trial to compare a reduced‐intensity regimen (vinblastine, cyclophosphamide, procarbazine, prednisone, etoposide, mitoxantrone, bleomycin; VEPEMB) with standard ABVD (adriamycin, bleomycin, vinblastine, dacarbazine). Primary endpoint was progression‐free survival (PFS). Seventeen patients were in early stage (I‐IIA), while 37 were advanced stage. Median age was 72 years and median follow‐up was 76 months. Five‐year PFS rates were 48% vs. 70% [adjusted Hazard ratio (HR) = 2·19, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0·94–5·10, P = 0·068] and 5‐year overall survival (OS) rates were 63% vs. 77% (adjusted HR = 1·67, 95% CI = 0·69–4·03, P = 0·254) for VEPEMB compared to ABVD. Overall treatment‐related mortality was 4%. World Health Organization grade 4 cardiac and lung toxicity occurred in four patients treated with ABVD versus no cases in the VEPEMB arm. Standard ABVD regimen resulted in better PFS and OS than the VEPEMB, although the differences were not statistically significant. The low toxicity of both treatments was probably attributable to stringent selection of patients based on a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment that excluded frail patients. 相似文献

AbstractTwenty-nine consecutive patients with hairy cell leukemia (HCL) were treated in two institutions with interferon (IFN, n = 18) or cladribine (n = 11), between July 1987 and May 2011. Median age was 62 (range 29–83) years; there were 21 males and 8 females. Seven of the 18 patients in the IFN group (39%) achieved a complete remission (CR), whereas all the patients in the 2-CDA group entered a CR. Three patients in the 2-CDA group relapsed and needed an additional course of the drug, 2, 3 and 6 years after the initial one. The median overall survival (OS) of the whole group has not been reached, being above 217 months, the 217-month OS being 91%. The survival of patients treated with either IFN or 2-CDA was not statistically different (94% OS at 217 months versus 91% OS at 133 months, respectively). The data that we present here suggest that treatment of HCL with either 2-CDA or IFN is equally effective; treatment costs with IFN are substantially lower than those of the purine analog. 相似文献

The appropriate therapy for limited-stage nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL) is unclear. In contrast to classical Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL), chemotherapy is often omitted; however, it is unknown whether this impacts the risk of relapse. Herein, we compared the outcome of patients with limited-stage NLPHL treated in an era in which ABVD (doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine) chemotherapy was routinely incorporated into the primary therapy to an earlier era in which radiotherapy (RT) was used as a single modality. Using the British Columbia Cancer Agency Lymphoid Cancer Database, 88 patients with limited-stage NLPHL (stage 1A/1B or 2A, nonbulky disease < 10 cm) were identified. Treatment followed era-specific guidelines: before 1993, (n = 32) RT alone; and 1993 to present (n = 56), ABVD-like chemotherapy for 2 cycles followed by RT with the exception of 14 patients who received ABVD chemotherapy alone. Most patients were male (75%) with stage I disease (61%). In an era-to-era comparison, the 10-year time to progression (98% vs 76% P = .0074), progression-free survival (91% vs 65% P = .0024), and OS (93% vs 84%, P = .074) favored the ABVD treatment era compared with the RT alone era. Treating limited-stage NLPHL similarly to CHL may improve outcome compared with the use of radiation alone. 相似文献

Several clinical trials have shown the superiority of autologous stem cell transplantation over conventional dose therapy for patients with multiple myeloma. This treatment, however, is limited to younger patients (<65 years) owing to concerns about toxicity and treatment-related mortality (TRM) in older patients. We treated 26 elderly myeloma patients (>70 years), who received a preparative regimen of melphalan 200 mg/m2 (19 patients), melphalan 180 mg/m2 (six patients) or melphalan 140 mg/m2 (one patient). Twenty-two of the 26 patients were alive after a median follow-up of 25 months (range=8-74). Responses (complete+partial response) were seen in 20 patients (77%), five (19%) of which were complete responses. Median PFS was 24 months, whereas median OS has not been reached. Cumulative incidence of 100-day TRM was 0%. Three-year PFS and OS were 39% (range=16-61) and 65% (range=35-83), respectively. A low serum albumin (<3.5 g/dl) was associated with a shorter PFS (P=0.02). Patients with relapsed disease at transplant, and an interval of >12 months between diagnosis and autotransplant, had a shorter OS (P=0.0004 and 0.04). HDT and autologous transplant is safe and feasible in elderly myeloma patients. 相似文献

BackgroundThe examination of lymph nodes (LNs) is critical for accurate node staging in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but a consensus on the examinations of hilar and intrapulmonary (N1 station) LNs has not been reached. This study aimed to evaluate the role of LN dissection and pathological examination of N1 LN stations and their effects on survival in patients with stage IA-IIA NSCLC.MethodsData from patients pathologically staged as IA-IIA who underwent radical surgery and confirmed as lacking LN metastases from January 2008 to March 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to determine the overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). After propensity score matching (PSM), a Cox model was used to determine the prognostic factors.ResultsOf the 1,935 patients investigated, the median number of N1 stations examined was 3. Patients with at least 2 N1 stations examined had apparently better OS (P=0.002) and DFS (P=0.001). All patients were divided into patients with 0–1 N1 station examined and patients with 2–5 N1 stations examined. After PSM, the number of N1 stations examined was an independent prognostic factor for DFS (P=0.004). Patients with 2–5 N1 stations examined experienced prolonged DFS (P=0.010). Patients in group 12 experienced prolonged OS (P=0.021) and DFS (P=0.026). Patients in group 13 or 14 experienced prolonged OS (P=0.028).ConclusionsA larger extent of N1 station examination was associated with prolonged DFS in patients with stage IA-IIA NSCLC after lobectomy. The dissection and examination of at least 2 N1 stations included LNs from the lobar and segmental drainage fields. 相似文献

Therapeutic strategies for early-stage diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) are often influenced by tumor extent, but the prognostic value of this parameter is rarely defined. Here, a retrospective analysis was performed to define the impact of tumor extent on survival of patients with early-stage DLBCL. Eighty-six patients with stage II DLBCL, diagnosed from 2000–2007, were categorized into localized (n = 55, 64 %) and disseminated groups (n = 31, 36 %) based on tumor extent at time of diagnosis. Treatment modalities, chemotherapy regimen and number of chemotherapy cycles were the same between groups. With a median follow-up of 7.6 years (range 2.1–12.1 years), overall 5-year event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) were 70.6 and 76.5 %, respectively. EFS (P = 1.00) and OS (P = 0.20) did not differ between the two groups. Older age (>60 years) was significantly associated with poor EFS (P = 0.01) and OS (P = 0.04). High-risk patients as rated by stage-modified international prognostic index (IPI) had inferior EFS (P = 0.04) and OS (P = 0.06) compared with the intermediate-risk group. These results indicate that tumor extent has no prognostic value in patients with early-stage DLBCL. Consistent with previous studies, age and stage-modified IPI were useful prognostic indices for these patients. 相似文献

In the treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer (APC), FOLFIRINOX (FX), including its dose-modified regimen (mFX), is considered an effective regimen; however, FX is also known to be associated with a high incidence of adverse events due to its multi-agent combination regimen. The efficacy and safety in elderly patients with APC have not been well studied.AimTo compare the safety and efficacy of first-line mFX for unresectable APC in elderly and young patients.MethodsThis was a multicenter retrospective cohort study included patients who received first-line mFX for unresectable APC. A total of 151 patients were included and divided into the elderly (≥65 years old; 76 patients) and young (<65 years old; 75 patients) groups. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). The secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) and adverse events (AEs).ResultsThe median OS and PFS were similar between the two groups (OS: 14.4 months versus 13.9 months, p = 0.42; PFS: 7.4 months versus 6.6 months, p = 0.65). Although severe AEs (≥ grade 3) were observed frequently in both groups (80% versus 84.2%, p = 0.53), there was no significant difference in any of the events between the groups. In the multivariate analysis evaluating the factors affecting OS and febrile neutropenia, age was not significant factors in both analyses.ConclusionFirst-line mFX for APC in elderly patients was as safe and effective as in younger patients if performance status was good. Further evaluation in a larger cohort is required to confirm our findings. 相似文献

BackgroundCarcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is one of the most widely used tumor markers, and its level is increased in 30–60% of patients with pancreatic cancer (PC). However, little is known about the implications of CEA as a prognostic marker in metastatic PC. The purpose of this study was to examine the usefulness of CEA levels as a prognostic marker in patients with metastatic PC.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study using data from a computerized database. A total of 433 patients with metastatic disease were analyzed.ResultsMedian overall survival (OS) was significantly shorter for patients with high CEA (>5 ng/ml) than with normal CEA (≤5 ng/ml) (6.8 vs. 10.3 months, respectively; p < 0.001). After adjustment, CEA level was an independent predictive factor for OS (hazard ratio [HR], 1.81; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.45–2.26). In the high CEA group, OS in patients treated with combination chemotherapy was similar to that with single-agent chemotherapy (median, 7.1 vs. 6.8 months; HR for OS, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.71–1.40).ConclusionsThe present results show that CEA level is an independent prognostic factor in patients with metastatic PC. A combination chemotherapy regimen may offer modest survival benefit in patients with high CEA. 相似文献

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) has a poor overall survival after treatment with conventional chemotherapy. Intense chemoimmunotherapy without consolidation stem cell transplantation is a potential therapeutic option. We report on a prospective Phase II study with rituximab in combination with fractionated cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin and dexamethasone (R‐Hyper‐CVAD) alternating with rituximab in combination with high‐dose methotrexate‐cytarabine (R‐MA) in untreated patients with diffuse and nodular MCL and their blastoid variants. Ninety‐seven patients were treated, of whom 97% responded and 87% achieved a complete remission. At 10 years of follow up (median 8 years), the median overall survival (OS) for all patients had not been reached and the median time to failure (TTF) for all patients was 4.6 years, without a plateau in the curves. For the group of patients aged 65 years or younger, the median OS had not been reached and the median TTF was 5.9 years. Multivariate analysis revealed pre‐treatment serum levels of β2 microglobulin, International Prognostic Index (IPI) score and mantle cell IPI (MIPI) score, as predictive of both OS and TTF. We conclude that intense chemoimmunotherapy without stem cell transplantation is effective for untreated aggressive MCL. 相似文献

ObjectivesTo elucidate the prognostic impact of sarcopenia before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) for pancreatic cancer (PC).MethodsWe retrospectively studied 75 consecutive PC patients who underwent neoadjuvant gemcitabine plus S-1 combination therapy followed by pancreatectomy between 2008 and 2016. According to the skeletal muscle volume index (SMI), the patients were divided into the muscle attenuation group (MAG) and normal group (NG) before or after NAC. Prognostic factors for overall survival (OS) were analyzed by Cox proportional hazards models.ResultsThe MAG showed significantly poorer OS than the NG before and after NAC. Pre-NAC, median OS was 20.0 months in the MAG versus 49.0 months in the NG (p = 0.006). Post-NAC, median OS was 21.3 months in the MAG versus 48.8 months in the NG (p = 0.014). Multivariate analysis, excluding muscle attenuation after NAC because of confounding factors and lower hazard ratio (2.08, 95% confidence interval: 1.14–3.78, p = 0.016) than that before NAC (2.14, 1.23–3.70, p = 0.007) by univariate analysis, revealed the following independent prognostic factors: muscle attenuation pre-NAC (2.25, 1.26–4.05, p = 0.007); borderline resectability (1.96, 1.04–3.69, p = 0.038); operative blood loss (2.60, 1.38–4.88, p = 0.003); and distant metastasis (3.31, 1.40–7.82, p = 0.006).ConclusionsSarcopenia before and after NAC for PC is suggested to be a poor prognostic factor, with a stronger impact before than after NAC. 相似文献

Objectives: Immunoparesis (IP) is a risk factor associated with an unfavourable outcome in several plasma cell disorders. It has been suggested that its presence in light-chain (AL) amyloidosis could be associated with worse prognosis. However, the relevance of IP after treatment has not been evaluated to date. The aim of this study was to determine the prognostic impact of IP at diagnosis and one year after treatment onset in patients with AL amyloidosis.Methods: The clinical records of 69 patients with AL amyloidosis treated at a single institution from January 2006 to January 2016 were included in the study.Results: IP was observed in 27.5% of patients at diagnosis. The presence of IP was associated with a lower probability to achieve very good partial response or better after first-line treatment (37.8% versus 62.2%; p?=?.04). However, only in the group of patients treated with autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT), the presence of IP resulted in a shorter progression-free survival (PFS) (30.2?months versus not reached [NR]; p?=?.02) but not in overall survival (OS). Persistence of IP at one year after treatment onset was identified in only four (9.8%) of the 41 evaluable patients. In the ASCT group, the absence of IP at one year after treatment onset resulted in a longer median PFS and OS (NR versus 22.6?months; p?=?.006; and NR versus 35.2?months; p?.001; respectively). In the multivariate analysis, the absence of IP at one year after treatment onset was independently associated with longer survival.Conclusion: IP at diagnosis has a negative impact on survival while its absence at one year after treatment is an independent marker for long-term survival. 相似文献

BackgroundData on outcomes of microsatellite instable and/or mismatch repair deficient (dMMR/MSI) digestive non-colorectal tumors are limited.AimsTo evaluate overall survival (OS) of patients with dMMR/MSI digestive non-colorectal tumor.MethodsAll consecutive patients with a dMMR/MSI digestive non-colorectal tumor were included in this French retrospective multicenter study.ResultsOne hundred and sixteen patients were included with a mean age of 63.6 years and 32.6% with a Lynch syndrome. Most tumors were oesophago-gastric (54.3%) or small bowel (32.8%) adenocarcinomas and at a localized stage at diagnosis (86.7%). In patients with localized tumors and R0 resection, median OS was 134.0 ± 64.2 months. Median disease-free survival (DFS) was 100.3 ± 65.7 months. Considering oesophago-gastric tumors, median DFS was improved when chemotherapy was added to surgery (not reached versus 22.8 ± 10.0 months, p = 0.03). In patients with advanced tumors treated by chemotherapy, median OS was 14.2 ± 1.9 months and median progression-free survival was 7.4 ± 1.6 months.ConclusiondMMR/MSI digestive non-colorectal tumors are mostly diagnosed at a non-metastatic stage with a good prognosis. Advanced dMMR/MSI digestive non-colorectal tumors have a poor prognosis with standard chemotherapy. 相似文献
