Prognostic significance of tumor necrosis in ovarian cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and interval surgical debulking

The objective of this study was to study the significance of tumor necrosis documented at the time of interval surgical debulking after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Retrospective chart reviews were carried out from 1997 to 2005 to identify ovarian cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Patients' demographics together with disease characteristics, treatment-related variables, and outcomes were recorded. Cox proportional hazard models were built to model time to progression using predictor variables such as age, cancer stage, tumor grade, residual disease, percentage change in CA125 level from baseline, and degree of necrosis in resected tumor specimens. One hundred one patients were included in the study. Optimal debulking was achieved in 74% of the patients. Cox regressions revealed three significant predictive variables of time to first progression: younger age (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.95, 95% CI 0.92-0.98, P= 0.004), residual disease (P= 0.048), and the absence/minimal tumor necrosis after three cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (HR = 1.97, 95% CI 1.01-3.87, P= 0.048). The estimated median survival was 50.66 months (95% CI 46.12-55.20). The lack of or minimal tumor necrosis after neoadjuvant chemotherapy is an independent risk factor for recurrent disease.     

Diagnosis and treatment of hepatic artery thrombosis after liver transplantation

The aim of this study was to examine the clinical presentation and time of hepatic artery thrombosis (HAT) after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT), stressing the role of imaging modalities. Therapeutic options are described, such as retransplantation (Re-OLT), hepatic resections and revascularization procedures, focusing on complications and outcome in a consecutive series of 687 OLT. Over the period from 1986 to 1999, 687 OLT were carried out in 601 patients, 592 of whom were adults and 95 pediatric subjects. Of these operations 601 were primary OLT and 86 Re-OLT (71 I Re-OLT, 14 II Re-OLT and 1 III Re-OLT). In this retrospective study, we reviewed rejection episodes, time of HAT (early or late), possible cause of HAT, day of suspected diagnosis of HAT and day of confirmation of diagnosis. Clinical presentation, management, complications, outcome, survival rates and the need for Re-OLT were also recorded. The incidence of HAT was 2.47% (17/687). Early HAT (n = 9, < 30 days) was diagnosed 15.6 days after OLT (range: 3-25 days), whereas late HAT (n = 8, > 30 days) occurred 295.1 days after OLT (range: 38-1830 days). In two asymptomatic patients (2/17: 11.7%), HAT was discovered incidentally. Most of the patients (11/17: 64.7%) presented with increased liver function test values and fever. Relapsing bacteremia occurred in 7/17 cases (41.1%), whereas a biliary stricture and biliary leak were diagnosed in 3/17 (17.6%) and in 1/17 patients (5.8%), respectively. Fulminant hepatic failure was the clinical presentation in 2/17 cases (11.7%). In one case the clinical presentation was acute and chronic rejection (1/17: 5.8%). Intrahepatic abscesses were diagnosed in one case (1/17: 5.8%), as well as an intrahepatic haemorrhage (1/17: 5.8%). Doppler ultrasound (DUS) correctly revealed HAT in 9 of the 17 patients (52.9% sensitivity). In 8 of the 9 patients (88.8%) in whom HAT was diagnosed by DUS, angiography was also performed to confirm the diagnosis. Overall, angiography detected HAT in 14/17 patients (82.3% sensitivity). HAT management consisted of immediate Re-OLT in 6 patients 6.8 days (range: 3-12 days) after diagnosis. Delayed Re-OLT was performed in 6 patients 529.1 days (range: 68-1920 days) after diagnosis. The overall retransplantation rate was 70.5% (12/17). Two patients died despite undergoing intraarterial urokinase treatment. Three grafts were salvaged, but suffered biliary stricture due to ischemic cholangitis and underwent hepatico-jejunostomy. A II Re-OLT was carried out in 4 of 12 patients (33.3%). The overall mortality rate was 41.1% (7/17). One-year and 3-year overall survival rates were 58.8% (10/17) and 47.0% (8/17), respectively. Both 5- and 10-year overall survival rates were 11.7% (2/17). Although the results of OLT have improved dramatically over the past few years, HAT is still associated with substantial morbidity, a high incidence of graft failure and high mortality rates. The use of DUS to screen for HAT has permitted earlier diagnosis, but early angiographic evaluation of the hepatic arteries is still needed for accurate diagnosis of HAT and remains the gold standard. Retransplantation is the definitive solution for HAT in the majority of cases, though it is essentially the patient's clinical condition that dictates the form of management.     

Epididymal metastases as the first sign of a colon cancer recurrence

Metastastic tumours involving the epididymis are rare and most often found in patients with disseminated disease. It is even more unusual when the metastasis of the epididymis is the first sign of tumour recurrence. We report a case of an asymptomatic recurrent colon carcinoma presenting as metastasis in the epididymis. Although metastatic cancer presenting as an intra-scrotal mass is extremely rare, it should be considered as a possibility in patients who present with a mass involving the testicle or epididymis.
