    Successful Pre-Treatment Ovarian Fresh Tissue Transplantation in a Cervical Cancer Patient Undergoing Radiation Therapy: A Case Report
    (2023) BERTOLAZZI, Marilia A.; GENTA, Maria Luiza Nogueira Dias; CARVALHO, Filomena; BARACAT, Edmund C.; CARVALHO, Jesus Paula
    Cervical cancer is one of the most frequent gynecological malignancies in Brazil, and most of the patients require pelvic radiotherapy as part of oncological treatment.Pelvic radiotherapy induces ovarian premature insufficiency in pre-menopausal women. This condition impacts the life quality and increases the risk of osteoporosis, obesity, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative diseases in the middle and long term.Most of these patients have no access to hormonal replacement therapy. Techniques such as ovarian transposition have questionable results when aiming to preserve ovarian function. In this context, a promising alternative is the implantation of fresh ovarian tissue, outside the radiotherapy field, in the abdominal cavity (orthotopic implantation) or in other sites such as the forearm, breast, or subcutaneous tissue (heterotopic implantation).Here we report a successful case of autologous implantation of fresh ovarian tissue in the inner thigh of a young patient with advanced cervical cancer, who was a candidate for concurrent chemoradiotherapy.

    Multiple HPV genotype infection impact on invasive cervical cancer presentation and survival
    (2017) GENTA, Maria Luiza Nogueira Dias; MARTINS, Toni Ricardo; LOPE, Rossana V. Mendoza; SADALLA, Jose Carlos; CARVALHO, Joao Paulo Mancusi de; BARACAT, Edmund Chada; LEVI, Jose Eduardo; CARVALHO, Jesus Paula
    Background Invasive cervical cancer (ICC) is the third most common malignant neoplasm affecting Brazilian women. Little is known about the impact of specific HPV genotypes in the prognosis of ICC. We hypothesized that HPV genotype would impact ICC clinical presentation and survival. Methods Women diagnosed with ICC at the Instituto do Ca A ncer do Estado de Sao Paulo (ICESP) between May 2008 and June 2012 were included in the study and were followed until December 2015. HPV genotype was detected from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue samples using Onclarity (TM) system (BD Viper (TM) LT automated system). Results 292 patients aged 50 +/- 14 years were analyzed. HPVDNA was detected in 84% of patients. The HPV genotypes studied were: HPV16 (64%), HPV18 (10%), HPV33-58 (7%), HPV45 (5%), HPV31 (4%) and other high-risk HPV genotypes (11%). HPV genotypes showed different distributions regarding histological type and clinical stage. Patients were followed for 35-21 months. The overall survival at 5 years after diagnosis of cervical cancer was 54%. Age, clinical staging, histological type and multiple HPV genotypes infection detected in the same tumor specimen were associated with poorer overall survival on multivariate Cox proportional hazard analysis (p<0.05). No specific HPV genotype affected survival. Conclusion Multiple HPV genotype infection was associated with poorer ICC survival in our study, compared with single genotype infection. HPV genotyping from FFPE tumor tissue using an automated assay such as the Onclarity BD (TM) assay provides a simpler alternative for routine clinical use.

    High-level of viral genomic diversity in cervical cancers: A Brazilian study on human papillomavirus type 16
    (2015) OLIVEIRA, Cristina Mendes de; BRAVO, Ignacio G.; SOUZA, Nathalia Caroline Santiago e; GENTA, Maria Luiza Nogueira Dias; FREGNANI, Jose Humberto Tavares Guerreiro; TACLA, Maricy; CARVALHO, Jesus Paula; LONGATTO-FILHO, Adhemar; LEVI, Jose Eduardo
    Invasive cervical cancer (ICC) is the third most frequent cancer among women worldwide and is associated with persistent infection by carcinogenic human papillomaviruses (HPVs). The combination of large populations of viral progeny and decades of sustained infection may allow for the generation of intra-patient diversity, in spite of the assumedly low mutation rates of PVs. While the natural history of chronic HPVs infections has been comprehensively described, within-host viral diversity remains largely unexplored. In this study we have applied next generation sequencing to the analysis of intra-host genetic diversity in ten ICC and one condyloma cases associated to single HPV16 infection. We retrieved from all cases near full-length genomic sequences. All samples analyzed contained polymorphic sites, ranging from 3 to 125 polymorphic positions per genome, and the median probability of a viral genome picked at random to be identical to the consensus sequence in the lesion was only 40%. We have also identified two independent putative duplication events in two samples, spanning the L2 and the L1 gene, respectively. Finally, we have identified with good support a chimera of human and viral DNA. We propose that viral diversity generated during HPVs chronic infection may be fueled by innate and adaptive immune pressures. Further research will be needed to understand the dynamics of viral DNA variability, differentially in benign and malignant lesions, as well as in tissues with differential intensity of immune surveillance. Finally, the impact of intralesion viral diversity on the long-term oncogenic potential may deserve closer attention.
