- Eosinophilic Solid and Cystic Renal Cell Carcinoma: Imaging Features of a Novel Neoplasm(2018) FENELON, Sandro Santos; SANTOS, Joao Manoel Miranda Magalhaes; FARAJ, Sheila Friedrich; MATTEDI, Romulo Loss; TRPKOV, Kiril; NAHAS, William Carlos; GARCIA, Marcio Ricardo Taveira; VIANA, Publio Cesar CavalcanteEosinophilic solid and cystic renal cell carcinoma (ESC RCC) is a recently described entity with distinct clinical, pathologic, and molecular features. However, the radiological aspects of ESC RCC have not been characterized. In this report, we describe the imaging findings of 2 ESC RCCs. We found 2 distinct imaging patterns that varied depending on histopathologic features (solid or cystic predominance). In conclusion, it is important to know the imaging characteristics and pathologic correlation of this novel neoplasm to increase its recognition and to improve the decision-making process.

- Frequency of CDH1 germline variants and contribution of dietary habits in early age onset gastric cancer patients in Brazil(2019) GUINDALINI, Rodrigo Santa Cruz; CORMEDI, Marina Candido Visontai; MAISTRO, Simone; PASINI, Fatima Solange; BRANAS, Priscila Cristina Abduch Adas; SANTOS, Liliane dos; PEREIRA, Glaucia Fernanda de Lima; BOCK, Geertruida Hendrika de; SACCARO, Daniela Marques; KATAYAMA, Maria Lucia Hirata; FARAJ, Sheila Friedrich; SAFATLE-RIBEIRO, Adriana; RIBEIRO JUNIOR, Ulysses; DIZ, Maria Del Pilar Estevez; GOUVEA, Ana Carolina Ribeiro Chaves de; CHAMMAS, Roger; FOLGUEIRA, Maria Aparecida Azevedo KoikeIntroduction The contribution of CDH1 germline variants to gastric cancer burden among young adults is unknown in Brazil. We aimed to evaluate the frequency of CDH1 germline variants and the diet/lifestyle habits in early age onset gastric cancer (EOGC, <= 55 years old) patients. Methodology From 2013 to 2015, a total of 88 unrelated and consecutive patients diagnosed with EOGC were enrolled. All CDH1 exons and intronic boundaries were sequenced, and large genomic rearrangements were screened by MLPA. CDH1 transcription analysis was performed for variants that could potentially induce an effect on splicing. The diet and lifestyle habits of EOGC patients were compared to Brazilian population diet and lifestyle, obtained from governmental databases. Results Of 88 patients, the mean age at EOGC diagnosis was 39 years and 55% fulfilled the criteria for hereditary diffuse gastric cancer. The majority of the tumors were diffuse (74%) and poorly differentiated (80%). In total, 4 novel missense variants of uncertain significance (VUS) were identified: c.313T>A, c.387G>T, c.1676G>A, and c.1806C>A. The MLPA results revealed no rearrangements and CDH1 transcription analysis for variants of interest were inconclusive. EOGC patients had a higher red (OR:2.6, 95%CI:1.4-4.9) and processed (OR:3.1, 95%CI:1.6-6.0) meat intake and higher fruit consumption (OR:0.4, 95%IC:0.3-0.7) compared to eating habits of the Brazilian population. Conclusions No unequivocal pathogenic germline CDH1 variants were identified in Brazilian EOGC patients. Dietary habits may be associated with the EOGC development.
conferenceObject Probe-Based Confocal Endomicroscopy May Improve the Diagnosis of Clinical Complete Response After Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy for Locally Advanced Rectal Neoplasia(2018) SAFATLE-RIBEIRO, Adriana; MARQUES, Carlos; PIRES, Clelma; BABA, Elisa; MEIRELLES, Luciana; FARAJ, Sheila; ARRAES, Livia; ARAUJO, Diogo; GUSMON, Carla; KAWAGUTI, Fabio; LENZ, Luciano; SIMAS, Marcelo; MARTINS, Bruno; NAHAS, Caio; NAHAS, Sergio; RIBEIRO JR., Ulysses; MALUF FILHO, Fauze- Diagnostic accuracy of probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy in Lugol-unstained esophageal superficial lesions of patients with head and neck cancer(2017) SAFATLE-RIBEIRO, Adriana Vaz; BABA, Elisa Ryoka; FARAJ, Sheila Friedrich; RIOS, Juliana Trazzi; LIMA, Marcelo Simas De; MARTINS, Bruno Costa; GEIGER, Sebastian Naschold; PENNACCHI, Caterina; GUSMAN, Carla; KAWAGUTI, Fabio Shiguehissa; UEMURA, Ricardo Sato; MELO, Evandro Sobroza de; RIBEIRO JR., Ulysses; MALUF-FILHO, FauzeBackground and Aims: Surveillance programs of patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) detect synchronous or metachronous esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in up to 15% of patients. Noninvasive, probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) technique may improve the diagnosis allowing acquisition of high-resolution in vivo images at the cellular and microvascular levels. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of pCLE for the differential diagnosis of nonneoplastic and neoplastic Lugol-unstained esophageal lesions in patients with HNC. Methods: Twenty-seven patients with HNC who exhibited Lugol-unstained esophageal lesions at surveillance endoscopy were prospectively included for pCLE. Diagnostic pCLE was followed by subsequent biopsies or endoscopic resection of suspected lesions. A senior pathologist was blinded to the pCLE results. Results: Patients mean age was 59 years (SD = 8.8) and 70.4% were men. All patients were smokers, and 22 patients (81.5%) had a history of alcohol consumption. The locations of HNC were oral cavity (n = 13), larynx (n = 10), and pharynx (n = 4). Thirty-seven lesions in 27 patients were studied. The final diagnoses were ESCC in 17 patients and benign lesions in 20 patients. Sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of pCLE for the histologic diagnosis of ESCC in patients with HNC were 94.1%, 90.0%, and 91.9%, respectively. Conclusions: First, pCLE is highly accurate for real-time histology of Lugol-unstained esophageal lesions in patients with HNC. Second, pCLE may alter the management of patients under surveillance for ESCC, guiding biopsies and endoscopic resection, avoiding further diagnostic workup or therapy of benign lesions.
- Prognostic significance of poorly differentiated clusters and tumor budding in colorectal liver metastases(2018) FONSECA, Gilton M.; MELLO, Evandro S. de; FARAJ, Sheila F.; KRUGER, Jaime A. P.; COELHO, Fabricio F.; JEISMANN, Vagner B.; LUPINACCI, Renato M.; CECCONELLO, Ivan; ALVES, Venancio A. F.; PAWLIK, Timothy M.; HERMAN, PauloBackgroundHistomorphological features have been described as prognostic factors after resection of colorectal liver metastases (CLM). The objectives of this study were to assess the prognostic significance of tumor budding (TB) and poorly differentiated clusters (PDC) among CLM, and their association with other prognostic factors. MethodsWe evaluated 229 patients who underwent a first resection of CLM. Slides stained by HE were assessed for TB, PDC, tumor border pattern, peritumoral pseudocapsule, peritumoral, and intratumoral inflammatory infiltrate. Lymphatic and portal invasion were evaluated through D2-40 and CD34 antibody. ResultsFactors independently associated with poor overall survival were nodules>4 (P=0.002), presence of PDC G3 (P=0.007), portal invasion (P=0.005), and absence of tumor pseudocapsule (P=0.006). Factors independently associated with disease-free survival included number of nodules>4 (P<0.001), presence of PDC G3 (P=0.005), infiltrative border (P=0.031), portal invasion (P=0.006), and absent/mild peritumoral inflammatory infiltrate (P=0.002). PDC and TB were also associated with histological factors, as portal invasion (TB), peritumoral inflammatory infiltration (PDC), infiltrative border, and absence of tumor pseudocapsule (TB and PDC). ConclusionsThis is the first study demonstrating PDC as a prognostic factor in CLM. TB was also a prognostic factor, but it was not an independent predictor of survival.
- Real-world evidence on first-line treatment for metastatic renal cell carcinoma with non-clear cell and sarcomatoid histologies: are sunitinib and pazopanib interchangeable?(2019) BONADIO, Renata Colombo; VELHO, Pedro Isaacsson; MARTA, Guilherme Nader; NARDA, Mirella; SOUZA, Manoel Carlos La; MUNIZ, David Q. B.; BEZERRA, Regis O. F.; BISPO, Raisa K. A.; FARAJ, Sheila F.; BASTOS, Diogo A.; DZIK, CarlosIntroduction: Non-clear cell renal cell carcinoma (nccRCC) and sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma (sRCC) are underrepresented in clinical trials. Treatment approaches are frequently extrapolated from data of clear cell renal cell carcinoma, in which pazopanib is non-inferior to sunitinib. We aim to compare the effectiveness of first-line sunitinib and pazopanib for nccRCC and sRCC. Methods: We evaluated a retrospective cohort of patients with metastatic nccRCC and sRCC treated with first-line sunitinib or pazopanib at an academic cancer centre. Overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and response rate were measured. Kaplan-Meier and log-rank analyses were used for time-to-event data. Cox regression was used for prognostic factors. Results: Fifty-three patients were included; 16 (30.1%) treated with sunitinib and 37 (69.9%) with pazopanib. Forty-six (86.8%) patients had nccRCC and 7 (13.2%) had sRCC. The majority had intermediate or poor International Metastatic Renal-Cell Carcinoma Database Consortium risk (93%). Median PFS was 6.6 months with sunitinib and 4.9 months with pazopanib (HR 1.75; P = 0.078). Treatment with pazopanib was associated with inferior OS in comparison with sunitinib (median OS: 30.4 months versus 8.7 months; HR 2.71, 95% CI 1.31-5.58, P = 0.007). These results were confirmed in subgroup analysis of patients with papillary, chromophobe and MiT family translocation histologies (median OS: 38.7 months versus 14.7 months; HR 3.16, 95% CI 1.20-8.29, P = 0.019). Unclassified and sarcomatoid histologies had inferior OS (median: 6.9 and 1.1 months, respectively) regardless of the treatment used. Conclusion: In this patient cohort, pazopanib was associated with inferior OS in comparison with sunitinib for metastatic nccRCC. Larger trials are ideally warranted to confirm these results.

- Survival and prognosis of young adults with gastric cancer(2018) CORMEDI, Marina Candido Visontai; KATAYAMA, Maria Lucia Hirata; GUINDALINI, Rodrigo Santa Cruz; FARAJ, Sheila Friedrich; FOLGUEIRA, Maria Aparecida Azevedo KoikeOBJECTIVES: Survival data for young adults (YA) with gastric cancer is conflicting and scarce in Brazil. The aim of this study was to compare the clinicopathological factors and survival rates of younger and older patients with gastric cancer. METHODS: Hospital registries for 294 gastric cancer patients from a reference cancer hospital in Sao Paulo, Brazil, were consulted for the retrieval of clinicopathological information and follow-up time. Patients were placed into the following groups: YA ( <= 40 years; N.71), older adult (OA: 41 to 65 years; N=129) and elderly (E: >= 66 years; N=94). Differences were assessed through Pearson's chi(2) test, Kaplan-Meier analysis, Log rank test and Cox regression. RESULTS: More YA were diagnosed with advanced disease (clinical stage III/IV: 86.7% YA, 69.9% OA, and 67% E); however, fewer E patients underwent surgery (64.3% YA, 72.7% OA, and 52.4% E). The median overall survival among all patients was 16 months, and the overall survival rate was not significantly different among the age groups (p=0.129). There were no significant differences in the disease-free survival rate. Metastatic disease at diagnosis (HR=4.84; p <0.01) was associated with an increased hazard of death for YA. CONCLUSION: Overall survival was similar among age groups. Metastatic disease at diagnosis was the only factor associated with a poorer prognosis in YA. These results suggest that younger patients deserve special attention regarding the detection of early stage disease.
