Purpose
To report outcomes from high-dose chemotherapy (HDCT) and autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) for metastatic germ-cell cancer in Scotland.Patients and Methods
All patients who underwent this treatment between the years 2001 and 2016 at the Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre in Glasgow were identified. Information regarding baseline patient and tumor characteristics, prognostic features, HDCT delivery, and survival outcomes were obtained retrospectively from patients’ medical records.Results
Eighteen patients (15 male and 3 female subjects) received HDCT and ASCT in the salvage setting. Of the 14 male patients who had relapsed disease, 8 (57%) were high or very high risk according to the International Prognostic Factor Study Group (IPFSG) risk categorization. The mean time interval between HDCT cycles was 8.6 weeks, which is longer than the specified 3 to 4 weeks in the literature. A total of 67% of patients had no biochemical or radiologic evidence of disease after salvage treatment, including surgery. Progression-free survival and overall survival rates at 2 years were 67% and 72%, respectively. However, 12 patients (67%) and 6 patients (39%) had long-term neurotoxicity and ototoxicity, respectively.Conclusion
Delivery of HDCT and ASCT as salvage treatment for metastatic germ-cell cancer is feasible within a tertiary cancer center with survival outcomes comparable to published literature, although maintaining dose intensity is a challenge. We hope to recruit subjects to the international TIGER trial (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02375204), which will attempt to clarify if HDCT is superior to conventional-dose chemotherapy in the salvage setting. 相似文献2.

Background
Relapsed and refractory (R/R) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) continues to be a therapeutic challenge with poor outcomes. Dysregulation of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase/extracellular-signal regulated kinase (ERK) pathway frequently occurs in AML and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Preclinical studies and early-phase trials have shown promise for MAP-ERK kinase (MEK) inhibition in AML. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of the MEK 1/2 inhibitor binimetinib in advanced myeloid malignancies.Patients and Methods
Nineteen patients with R/R AML and MDS, who were not candidates for intensive chemotherapy or with disease resistance or intolerance to standard treatment were enrolled in the present phase II study of binimetinib dosed twice daily continuously in 28-day cycles.Results
The median age of the cohort was 64 years (range, 31-85 years). These patients had received a median of 3 previous lines of therapy (range, 1-6). The median bone marrow blast percentage was 49% (range, 2%-94%), and 14 patients had RAS mutations. The patients received a median of 2 cycles (range, 1-4 cycles) of binimetinib and received treatment for a median duration of 1.2 months (range, 0.1-3.4 months). Sixteen patients (84%) received the 45-mg twice daily dose. The most common grade 3/4 treatment-emergent adverse events were hypokalemia (6%), hypotension (6%), lung infection (6%), and febrile neutropenia (6%). No treatment-related deaths occurred. One of the 13 evaluable patients (8%) achieved a complete response with incomplete blood count recovery lasting 2.1 months. The other 12 patients (92%) did not have a response. Six patients could not be evaluated.Conclusion
Binimetinib had tolerable safety profile with a minimal response in RAS-mutant AML. Future studies should focus on better patient selection and synergistic combination therapies involving MEK inhibition. 相似文献3.

Introduction
Preoperative or definitive chemoradiation is an accepted treatment for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The MUNICON study showed that positron-emission tomography (PET) response following induction chemotherapy was predictive of outcomes in patients with gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. We evaluated the predictive value of PET following induction chemotherapy in ESCC patients and assessed the impact of changing chemotherapy during radiation in PET nonresponders.Methods
We retrospectively reviewed all patients with locally advanced ESCC who received induction chemotherapy and chemoradiation; all patients had a PET before and after induction chemotherapy. Survival was calculated from date of repeat PET using Kaplan-Meier analysis and compared between groups using the log-rank test.Results
Of 111 patients, 70 (63%) were PET responders (defined as a 35% or more decrease in maximum standard uptake value) to induction chemotherapy. PET responders received the same chemotherapy during radiation. Of 41 PET nonresponders, 16 continued with the same chemotherapy and 25 were changed to alternative chemotherapy with radiation. Median progression-free survival (70.1 months versus 7.1 months, p < 0.01) and overall survival (84.8 months versus 17.2 months, p < 0.01) were improved for PET responders versus nonresponders. Median progression-free survival and overall survival for PET nonresponders who changed chemotherapy versus those who did not were 6.4 months versus 8.3 months (p = 0.556) and 14.1 versus 17.2 months (p = 0.81), respectively.Conclusions
PET after induction chemotherapy highly predicts for outcomes in ESCC patients who receive chemoradiation. However, our results suggest that PET nonresponders do not benefit from changing chemotherapy during radiation. Future trials should use PET nonresponse after induction chemotherapy to identify poor prognosis patients for novel therapies. 相似文献4.

Introduction
Elderly patients are more prone to encounter some adverse factors when they receive chemotherapy compared to younger patients. Addition of rituximab to a reduced dose (RD) of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone (R-CHOP) chemotherapy might improve patient outcomes with an improved toxicity profile when provided to elderly patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.Patients and Methods
A total of 53 patients aged ≥ 65 years with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma diagnosed between August 2012 and December 2014 were enrolled onto this study. RD-R-CHOP regimen consisted of rituximab at 375 mg/m2, cyclophosphamide at 600 mg/m2, doxorubicin at 30 mg/m2, and vincristine at 1 mg on day 1 of each cycle and 40 mg of prednisone on days 1 to 5. Patients received granulocyte colony-stimulating factor if they experienced grade 3/4 neutropenia or febrile neutropenia during any cycle.Results
The median follow-up duration was 18 months (range, 1-44 months). Complete response and overall response rates were 64.1% and 81.1%, respectively. Three-year event-free and overall survival rates were 45.7% ± 8.4% and 62.7% ± 8.1%, respectively. Grade 3/4 neutropenia occurred in 20 patients (37.7%), while febrile neutropenia occurred in 7 patients (20.7%).Conclusion
Outcomes of RD-R-CHOP chemotherapy were comparable to those of standard-dose R-CHOP or previous dose-adjusted R-CHOP chemotherapy. In the future, strategies such as tailored therapy based on geriatric assessment results are needed to determine the chemotherapeutic dosage. 相似文献5.

Introduction
This phase II study evaluated the efficacy and safety of the pan-cyclin–dependent kinase inhibitor roniciclib with platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with extensive-disease SCLC.Methods
In this randomized, double-blind study, unselected patients with previously untreated extensive-disease SCLC received roniciclib, 5 mg, or placebo twice daily according to a 3 days–on, 4 days–off schedule in 21-day cycles, with concomitant cisplatin or carboplatin on day 1 and etoposide on days 1 to 3. The primary end point was progression-free survival. Other end points included overall survival, objective response rate, and safety.Results
A total of 140 patients received treatment: 70 with roniciclib plus chemotherapy and 70 with placebo plus chemotherapy. Median progression-free survival times was 4.9 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 4.2–5.5) with roniciclib plus chemotherapy and 5.5 months (95% CI: 4.6–5.6) with placebo plus chemotherapy (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.242, 95% CI: 0.820–1.881, p = 0.8653). Median overall survival times was 9.7 months (95% CI: 7.9–11.1) with roniciclib plus chemotherapy and 10.3 months (95% CI: 8.7–11.9) with placebo plus chemotherapy (HR = 1.281, 95% CI: 0.776–1.912, p = 0.7858). The objective response rates were 60.6% with roniciclib plus chemotherapy and 74.6% with placebo plus chemotherapy. Common treatment-emergent adverse events in both groups included nausea, vomiting, and fatigue. Serious treatment-emergent adverse events were more common with roniciclib plus chemotherapy (57.1%) than with placebo plus chemotherapy (38.6%).Conclusions
Roniciclib combined with chemotherapy demonstrated an unfavorable risk-benefit profile in patients with extensive-disease SCLC, and the study was prematurely terminated. 相似文献6.

Background
Colon cancer is the third most frequent cancer diagnosis, and primary payer status has been shown to be associated with treatment modalities and survival in cancer patients. The goal of our study was to determine the between-insurance differences in survival in patients with clinical stage III colon cancer using data from the National Cancer Database (NCDB).Materials and Methods
We identified 130,998 patients with clinical stage III colon cancer in the NCDB diagnosed from 2004 to 2012. Kaplan-Meier curves and multivariable Cox regression models were used to determine the association between insurance status and survival.Results
Patients with private insurance plans were 28%, 30%, and 16% less likely to die than were uninsured patients, Medicaid recipients, and Medicare beneficiaries, respectively. Medicare patients were 14% were less likely to die compared with uninsured patients. Patients receiving chemotherapy were, on average, 65% less likely to die compared with the patients not receiving chemotherapy.Conclusion
Private insurance and a greater socioeconomic status were associated with increased patient survival compared with other insurance plans or the lack of insurance. Future research should continue to unravel how socioeconomic status and insurance status contribute to the quality of care and survival of oncologic patients. 相似文献7.

Introduction
Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer in women, and the incidence of brain metastasis (BM) from BC ranges from 20% to 30%, with a median survival of 10 to 15 months. Previous reports have shown that the presence of obesity or diabetes negatively impacts survival. The present study investigates the association between obesity or diabetes mellitus (DM) and overall survival of patients with BC with BM.Materials and Methods
A database from 2 referral centers for the period of July 2014 to February 2018 was analyzed. The inclusion criteria were as follows: patients who had a confirmed diagnosis of BC with BM were followed and treated at these centers. Demographic data, body weight and height, clinical and oncologic history, functional status, prognostic scales, and prognoses were examined.Results
A total of 228 patients were included. The median age at BM was 50 years; the median survival after diagnosis was 12.1 months; 108 patients had a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25, and 40 (17%) patients had DM. The association between survival and the presence of BMI > 25 exhibited a P value of 0.3.Discussion
We found no association between overweight, obesity, or DM and survival in patients with BC with BM. The role of obesity in cancer is a robust research topic, as there are many questions to be answered.Conclusion
Obesity as a prognostic indicator should be further studied, because we found no association between overall survival and either patients with BM from BC with a BMI > 25 or those with normal weight. 相似文献8.

Aim
There are few data to inform on the use of response assessment 2-[fluorine-18]-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) following radical radiotherapy without chemotherapy for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). This retrospective study evaluated the accuracy of PET-CT in HNSCC following radical radiotherapy.Materials and methods
In total, 138 patients with HNSCC treated with radical radiotherapy without chemotherapy who underwent a baseline and response assessment FDG PET-CT were identified. FDG PET-CT outcomes were analysed with reference to clinicopathological outcomes.Results
The median follow-up was 26 months. FDG-avid disease at baseline was present for the primary site and lymph nodes in 118 and 86 patients, respectively. With regard to the primary tumour, the negative predictive value (NPV) of a complete metabolic response (CMR) was 95%; the positive predictive value (PPV) of equivocal uptake and a positive scan were 6% and 82%, respectively. The likelihood ratios for a CMR, equivocal and positive scans of the primary site were 0.19, 0.22, 14.8, respectively. With regard to lymph node disease, the NPV of a CMR was 91%, the PPV of equivocal uptake and a positive scan were 33% and 88%, respectively. Likelihood ratios for lymph node disease for CMR, equivocal and positive scans were 0.19, 0.97 and 15.1, respectively.Conclusion
Compared with the accuracy reported in the literature following chemoradiotherapy, response assessment FDG PET-CT following radical radiotherapy without chemotherapy had a similarly high NPV, whereas the PPV following a positive scan was higher. 相似文献9.

Purpose
Chemotherapy-related cognitive impairment can occur in cancer survivors after treatment, especially those patients who have undergone chemotherapy for breast cancer. The frequency and to what extent such toxicity develops in colorectal cancer (CRC) survivors is unknown. The present prospective study evaluated the effects of adjuvant chemotherapy on the cognitive performance of patients with localized CRC compared with a control group who had not undergone chemotherapy.Patients and Methods
Consecutive patients with localized stage II and III CRC completed neuropsychological assessments, self-reported cognitive complaint questionnaires, and depressive symptom evaluations before starting fluoropyrimidine-based adjuvant chemotherapy and after 12 months. Blood was collected for apolipoprotein E genotyping. Diffusion tensor imaging data were acquired from a subset of participants at both evaluation points.Results
From December 2012 to December 2014, 137 patients were approached and 85 were included. Of these 85 patients, 49 had undergone chemotherapy and 26 had not, in accordance with the standard recommendations for adjuvant therapy for CRC. The mean age was 62.5 ± 9.4 years, 60% were men, and the mean educational attainment was 7.6 ± 3.7 years. No difference was found in the global composite score (P = .38), attention (P = .84), or memory (P = .97) between the 2 groups during the follow-up period (mean ± standard deviation, 375 ± 29 days). However, a statistically significant difference was found for executive function after adjustment for age, sex, education, and depressive symptoms at baseline (β ?1.80; 95% confidence interval, ?3.50 to ?0.11; P = .04), suggesting worse performance for the chemotherapy group. For the 32 patients who had undergone magnetic resonance imaging, tract-based spatial statistics did not show voxelwise significant differences in structural brain connectivity at baseline or during follow-up. Apolipoprotein E polymorphisms were not predictive of cognitive dysfunction.Conclusion
Patients with CRC who received adjuvant 5-fluorouracil with or without oxaliplatin presented with a decline in executive function after 12 months compared with patients with localized disease who had not received chemotherapy. 相似文献10.

Introduction
This randomized phase II trial aimed at evaluating the engineered programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) antibody atezolizumab in SCLC progressing after first-line platinum–etoposide chemotherapy.Methods
Patients were randomized 2:1 to atezolizumab (1200 mg intravenously every 3 weeks) until progression or unacceptable toxicity, or conventional chemotherapy (up to 6 cycles of topotecan or re-induction of initial chemotherapy). Patients were not selected based on PD-L1 tissue expression. The primary endpoint was objective response rate at 6 weeks. A two-stage design with 2:1 randomization and O’Brien-Fleming stopping rules was used. The null hypothesis was rejected if more than 12 of 45 patients were responders.Results
Overall, 73 patients were randomized (atezolizumab n = 49; chemotherapy n = 24). At 6 weeks, 1 of 43 eligible atezolizumab patients achieved an objective response (2.3%, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.0–6.8), whereas 8 others had stable disease (20.9% disease control rate; 95% CI: 8.8–33.1). Among eligible chemotherapy patients (n = 20), 10% achieved an objective response (65% disease control rate). Median progression-free survival was 1.4 months (95% CI: 1.2–1.5) with atezolizumab and 4.3 months (95% CI: 1.5–5.9) with chemotherapy. Overall survival did not significantly differ between groups. Median overall survival was 9.5 months versus 8.7 months for the atezolizumab and the chemotherapy group, respectively (adjusted hazard ratioatezolizumab : 0.84, 95% CI: 0.45–1.58; p = 0.60). Two atezolizumab patients (4.2%) experienced grade 3 fatigue, and two others grade 1 dysthyroidism. Among 53 evaluable specimens, only 1 (2%) had positive immunohistochemical PD-L1 staining (SP142 clone).Conclusions
Atezolizumab monotherapy in relapsed SCLC failed to show significant efficacy. No unexpected safety concerns were observed. 相似文献11.

Background
Treatment of advanced anal squamous cell cancer (SCC) is usually with the combination of cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil, which is associated with heterogeneous responses across patients and significant toxicity. We examined the safety and efficacy of a modified schedule, FOLFCIS (leucovorin, fluorouracil, and cisplatin), and performed an integrated clinical and genomic analysis of anal SCC.Patients and Methods
We reviewed all patients with advanced anal SCC receiving first-line FOLFCIS chemotherapy – essentially a FOLFOX (leucovorin, fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin) schedule with cisplatin substituted for oxaliplatin – in our institution between 2007 and 2017, and performed deep sequencing to identify genomic markers of response and key genomic drivers.Results
Fifty-three patients with advanced anal SCC (48 metastatic; 5 unresectable, locally advanced) received first-line FOLFCIS during this period; all were platinum-naive. The response rate was 48% (95% confidence interval [CI], 32.6%-63%). With a median follow-up of 41.6 months, progression-free survival and overall survival were 7.1 months (95% CI, 4.4-8.6 months) and 22.1 months (95% CI, 16.9-28.1 months), respectively. Among all patients with advanced anal SCC that underwent sequencing during the study period, the most frequent genomic alterations consisted of chromosome 3q amplification (51%) and mutations in PIK3CA (29%) and KMT2D (22%). No genomic alteration correlated with response to platinum-containing treatment. Although there were few cases, patients with human papillomavirus-negative anal SCC did not appear to benefit from FOLFCIS, and all harbored distinct genomic profiles with TP53, TERT promoter, and CDKN2A mutations.Conclusions
FOLFCIS appears effective and safe as first-line chemotherapy in patients with advanced anal SCC and represents an alternative treatment option for these patients. 相似文献12.

Background
Eribulin has efficacy in patients with progression after ≥ 1 chemotherapeutic regimen for metastatic breast cancer (MBC). A short disease-free interval (DFI) and previous use of taxanes in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting have been associated with worse outcomes for patients receiving first-line chemotherapy for HER2-negative MBC. The aim of the present trial was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of eribulin as first-line therapy for patients with HER2-negative MBC with these poor prognostic factors.Patients and Methods
Eribulin monotherapy was administered until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The principal selection criteria were HER2 negativity without previous chemotherapy for MBC, the previous use of taxanes for early-stage breast cancer, and a DFI of < 36 months (subsequently amended to 48 months). The primary endpoint was the investigator-assessed time to progression. The secondary endpoints included overall survival, progression-free survival, objective response rate, clinical benefit rate, duration of response, and toxicity profile. A total of 53 patients were enrolled and received ≥ 1 dose of eribulin.Results
The median patient age was 47 years (range, 23-82.8 years). The median DFI was 15.7 months (range, 0.1-46.4 months). The median investigator-assessed time to progression was 4.1 months (range, 0.2-27.8 months; 95% confidence interval, 3.2-6.2 months). The objective response and clinical benefit rate was 20.8% and 26.4%, respectively. All-grade and grade 3/4 adverse events developed in 96.2% and 69.8% of patients, respectively. The most common treatment-related adverse events were neutropenia, leukopenia, alopecia, nausea, and anemia.Conclusion
Eribulin is effective and safe as first-line therapy for aggressive taxane-pretreated HER2-negative MBC. 相似文献13.
Purpose
To assess the pharmacologic costs of second-line treatments for metastatic renal-cell cancer (mRCC).Methods
The present evaluation was restricted to pivotal phase 3 randomized controlled trials in second-line for mRCC. We calculated the pharmacologic costs necessary to get the benefit in progression-free survival and overall survival (OS) for each trial. The costs of drugs are at the pharmacy of our hospital and are expressed in euros.Results
Our analysis evaluated 5 phase 3 randomized controlled trials including 3112 patients. The lowest cost per month of progression-free survival and OS gained was associated with the use of cabozantinib (€2006 and €1473, respectively), while everolimus had the highest cost per month of OS gained (€28,590).Conclusion
Combining pharmacologic costs of drugs with the measure of efficacy represented by OS, cabozantinib is a cost-effective second-line treatments for patients with mRCC. 相似文献14.

Background
Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is an aggressive form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Methotrexate is first-line chemotherapy. Autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) is increasingly used as an alternative consolidative treatment to whole-brain radiotherapy.Methods
A systematic search of several databases was conducted up through January 10, 2018. Two investigators independently assessed study eligibility and extracted the data. Studies that reported survival outcomes after ASCT were included.Results
We screened 1517 references and included 43 studies. ASCT was used as consolidative treatment or as salvage treatment/at relapse. Thiotepa, busulfan, and cyclophosphamide and carmustine/thiotepa were commonly used conditioning regimens. In the consolidation setting, 94% of patients experienced or maintained complete or partial response after ASCT. The rates of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were 94%, 86%, 82%, and 70% and 79%, 70%, 64%, and 54% after 1, 2, 3, and 5 years, respectively. The overall risk of relapse at 5 years was 24%. In the salvage/relapse settings, 85% of patients experienced or maintained complete response or partial response after ASCT. The rates of OS and PFS were 75%, 63%, 56%, and 54% and 85%, 62%, 59%, and 54% after 1, 2, 3, and 5 years, respectively. The risk of relapse at 5 years was 29%. Subgroup analysis showed that the use of carmustine and thiotepa as a conditioning regimen carried the lowest risk of transplant-related mortality. The thiotepa, busulfan, and cyclophosphamide regimen, on the other hand, showed numerically superior OS and PFS rates.Conclusion
This review provides estimates for response and survival to aid in decision making when considering ASCT for patients with PCNSL. 相似文献15.

Introduction
Adjuvant gefitinib therapy prolonged disease-free survival in patients with resected early-stage EGFR-mutation positive NSCLC in the ADJUVANT study (CTONG 1104). However, treatment failure patterns after gefitinib therapy are less well characterized.Methods
Overall, 222 stage N1–N2, EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients received gefitinib or vinorelbine plus cisplatin (VP) treatment. Tumor recurrences or metastases occurring during follow-up were defined as treatment failure; sites and data of first treatment failure were recorded. A post hoc analysis of treatment failure patterns which was estimated by Kaplan-Meier and hazard rate curves in modified intention-to-treat patients was conducted.Results
There were 114 recurrences and 10 deaths before recurrence across 124 progression events. Spatial distribution analysis showed that the first metastasis site was most frequently the central nervous system in the gefitinib group (29 of 106 [27.4%]), extracranial metastases were most frequent in the VP group (32 of 87 [36.8%]). Temporal distribution analysis showed lower tumor recurrence with gefitinib than with VP 0 to 21 months post-surgery. However, recurrence with gefitinib showed a constant rate of increase 12 months post-surgery. The first peak of extracranial metastasis appeared during 9 to 15 months with VP and 24 to 30 months with gefitinib. The highest peak for central nervous system metastases post-surgery occurred after 12 to 18 months with VP and 24 to 36 months with gefitinib.Conclusions
Adjuvant gefitinib showed advantages over VP chemotherapy in treatment failure patterns especially in extracranial metastasis. Adjuvant tyrosine kinas inhibitors may be considered as a treatment option in resected stage N1–N2 EGFR-mutant NSCLC but longer duration should be explored. 相似文献16.

Introduction
Immunotherapy has revolutionized the treatment of NSCLC, but little is known about the activity of programmed cell death 1 and programmed death ligand 1 blockade across age groups.Methods
We retrospectively evaluated patients with NSCLC who initiated programmed cell death 1 and programmed death ligand 1 inhibitors from January 2013 through July 2017. Medical records and radiographic imaging were reviewed to determine progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). We also compared immunotherapy-related toxicities, steroid use, and hospitalizations by age.Results
Of the 245 patients, 26.1% were younger than 60 years, 31.4% were age 60 to 69 years, 31.0% were age 70 to 79 years, and 11.4% were age 80 years or older. The median PFS times by age group were as follows: younger than 60 years, 1.81 months; age 60 to 69 years, 2.53 months; age 70 to 79 years, 3.75 months; and age 80 years or older, 1.64 months (log-rank p value = 0.055). The median OS times by age group were as follows: younger than 60 years, 13.01 months; age 60 to 69 years, 14.56 months; age 70 to 79 years, 12.92 months; and age 80 years or older, 3.62 months (log-rank p value = 0.011). Rates of immunotherapy-related toxicities, steroid use, and hospitalizations did not differ by age.Conclusions
Although the OS and PFS benefits of immunotherapy differ by age, the rates of toxicity are similar regardless of age. 相似文献17.

Background
Patients with multiple myeloma (MM) are at risk of cardiovascular events (CVEs) as a result of disease burden– and treatment-related risk factors. Cardiac biomarkers have been reported to be more sensitive than left ventricular ejection fraction in detecting CVEs. We sought to explore CVEs risk factors in MM patients and to establish sensitive predictors of biomarkers.Patients and Methods
We studied 116 newly diagnosed MM patients who received chemotherapy in our department. Echocardiograms were examined at baseline and after 4 cycles of treatment, as well as upon clinical suspicion of a cardiac event or after an adjustment of treatment regimens. Cardiac biomarkers, including troponin T, myohemoglobin, and N terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), were estimated before each cycle and within 24 hours after chemotherapy, which was provided for at least 4 cycles.Results
Thirteen patients (11.2%) experienced CVEs, seven of which were subclinical. There was no significant difference between the CVE group and the non-CVE group in terms of general patient characteristics, MM disease factors, or chemotherapy drugs. The baseline levels of left ventricular ejection fraction and NT-proBNP were comparable between the 2 groups. NT-proBNP levels increased rapidly after chemotherapy and fell to normal levels before administration of the next cycle in all patients (60 pg/mL vs. 446 pg/mL, P < .001). Patients with asymptomatic CVEs showed a significantly higher proportion of progressively elevated NT-proBNP compared to symptomatic CVE and non-CVE patients (57% vs. 0 vs. 6.1%, P = .035).Conclusion
The dynamic change in NT-proBNP may predict early asymptomatic cardiac damage and allow interventional strategies to avoid cardiac decompensation. 相似文献18.

Background
Central nervous system (CNS) metastases represent a significant source of morbidity and mortality for patients with ALK tyrosine kinase gene (ALK)-positive NSCLC. Alectinib has demonstrated robust CNS activity in both crizotinib-naive and crizotinib-resistant settings. However, the CNS efficacy of alectinib has not been established in patients with untreated symptomatic, large CNS metastases.Methods
In this retrospective study, patients were eligible if they had advanced ALK-positive NSCLC with large (defined as ≥1 cm) or symptomatic CNS metastases and received alectinib. Medical records and radiographic imaging were reviewed to determine treatment outcomes. CNS efficacy was assessed per the modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1.Results
Of the 19 patients, 15 (79%) had measurable CNS disease at baseline and were evaluable for response. The CNS objective response rate in these patients was 73.3% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 44.9%–92.2%), the CNS disease control rate was 100.0% (95% CI: 78.2%–100.0%), and the median CNS duration of response was 19.3 months (95% CI: 14.3 months–not evaluable). In 18 evaluable patients with measurable and/or nonmeasurable baseline CNS disease, the CNS objective response rate was 72.2% (95% CI: 46.5%–90.3%), the CNS disease control rate was 100.0% (95% CI: 81.5%–100.0%), and the median CNS duration of response was 17.1 months (95% CI: 14.3 months–not evaluable). All eight patients with symptoms attributable to CNS metastases had clinical improvement upon starting alectinib therapy. Six patients (32%) eventually required salvage brain radiotherapy.Conclusions
Alectinib demonstrated meaningful CNS efficacy in patients with ALK-positive NSCLC with untreated symptomatic or large brain metastases. 相似文献19.

Aims
To examine the influence of pre-existing psychiatric disorder on the choice of treatment in patients with gynaecological cancer.Materials and methods
The analyses were based on all patients who underwent surgical treatment for endometrial, ovarian or cervical cancer who were registered in the Danish Gynecological Cancer Database in the years 2007–2014 (3059 patients with ovarian cancer, 5100 patients with endometrial cancer and 1150 with cervical cancer). Logistic regression model and Cox regression model, adjusted for relevant confounders, were used to estimate the effect of pre-existing psychiatric disorder on the course of cancer treatment. Our outcomes were (i) presurgical oncological treatment, (ii) macroradical surgery for patients with ovarian cancer, (iii) radiation/chemotherapy within 30 days and 100 days after surgery and (iv) time from surgery to first oncological treatment.Results
In the group of patients with ovarian cancer, more patients with a psychiatric disorder received macroradical surgery versus patients without a psychiatric disorder, corresponding to an adjusted odds ratio of 1.24 (95% confidence interval 0.62–2.41) and the chance for having oncological treatment within 100 days was odds ratio = 1.26 (95% confidence interval 0.77–2.10). As for patients with endometrial cancer, all outcome estimates were close to unity. The adjusted odds ratio for oncological treatment within 30 days after surgery in patients with cervical cancer with a history of psychiatric disorder was 0.20 (95% confidence interval 0.03–1.54).Conclusions
We did not find any significant differences in the treatment of ovarian and endometrial cancer in patients with pre-existing psychiatric diagnoses. When it comes to oncological treatment, we suggest that increased attention should be paid to patients with cervical cancer having a pre-existing psychiatric diagnosis. 相似文献20.
