conferenceObject PET/CT for primary staging of rectal cancer patients with and without extramural vascular invasion detected by MR (EMVI-MR)(2016) QUEIROZ, M.; ORTEGA, C.; MORITA, T.; VIANA, P.; ZAGATTI, M.; BLASBALG, R.; MENEZES, M.; BUCHPIGUEL, C.- Percutaneous thermoablation of small renal masses (T1a) in surgical candidate patients: oncologic outcomes(2021) ZANGIACOMO, Renato N.; MARTINS, Guilherme L. P.; VIANA, Publio C. C.; HORVAT, Natally; ARAP, Marco A.; NAHAS, William C.; SROUGI, Miguel; CERRI, Giovanni G.; MENEZES, Marcos R.Objective To evaluate the local tumour progression-free survival (LTPFS), metastasis-free survival (MFS), cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS) of healthy surgical candidates who underwent percutaneous thermoablation (TA) as a first-line therapy for small renal masses (T1a). Methods The institutional review board approved this bi-institutional retrospective study of 85 consecutive surgical candidates with 97 biopsy-proven malignant renal masses (T1a) treated with percutaneous TA from 2008 to 2016. The LTPFS, MFS, CSS and OS rates were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Descriptive analysis was also performed. Results The median tumour size was 2.3 cm (range, 0.7-3.9 cm). The minimal and mean follow-up periods were 24 and 56 months, respectively. Local recurrence was detected in four patients (4.7%) at 8.5, 13.8, 58.0 and 64.0 months of follow-up and retreated successfully with percutaneous TA. No patient developed metastatic renal cell carcinoma, and none died due to renal oncologic complications. One patient died of heart attack. The 5-year LTPFS, OS, MFS and CSS rates were 93.0%, 98.4%, 100% and 100%, respectively. Only two patients (2.3%) had major complications (Clavien-Dindo grade > II), including ureteropelvic junction stenosis and urinary obstruction due to ureteral blood clots. Conclusions Our study demonstrates that percutaneous TA is a feasible and effective first-line therapy for healthy surgical candidates with small renal masses (T1a). The 5-year LTPFS, OS, CSS and MFS rates were 93.0%, 98.4%, 100% and 100%, respectively, with a major complication rate of only 2.3%.
- Improved Hemodynamic Parameters in Middle Cerebral Artery Infarction After Decompressive Craniectomy(2014) AMORIM, Robson Luis; ANDRADE, Almir Ferreira de; GATTAS, Gabriel S.; PAIVA, Wellingson Silva; MENEZES, Marcos; TEIXEIRA, Manoel Jacobsen; BOR-SENG-SHU, EdsonBackground and Purpose Decompressive craniectomy (DC) reduces mortality and improves functional outcome in patients with malignant middle cerebral artery infarction. However, little is known regarding the impact of DC on cerebral hemodynamics. Therefore, our goal was to study the hemodynamic changes that may occur in patients with malignant middle cerebral artery infarction after DC and to assess their relationship with outcomes. Methods Twenty-seven patients with malignant middle cerebral artery infarction who were treated with DC were studied. The perfusion CT hemodynamic parameters, mean transit time, cerebral blood flow, and cerebral blood volume were evaluated preoperatively and within the first 24 hours after DC. Results There was a global trend toward improved cerebral hemodynamics after DC. Preoperative and postoperative absolute mean transit times were associated with mortality at 6 months, and the ratio of post- and preoperative cerebral blood flow was significantly higher in patients with favorable outcomes than those with unfavorable outcomes. Patients who underwent surgery 48 hours after stroke, those with midline brain shift >10 mm, and those who were >55 years showed no significant improvement in any perfusion CT parameters. Conclusions DC improves cerebral hemodynamics in patients with malignant middle cerebral artery infarction, and the level of improvement is related to outcome. However, some patients did not seem to experience any additional hemodynamic benefit, suggesting that perfusion CT may play a role as a prognostic tool in patients undergoing DC after ischemic stroke.
- State-of-the-art in radiomics of hepatocellular carcinoma: a review of basic principles, applications, and limitations(2020) SANTOS, Joao Manoel Miranda Magalhaes; OLIVEIRA, Brunna Clemente; ARAUJO-FILHO, Jose de Arimateia Batista; ASSUNCAO- JR., Antonildes N.; MACHADO, Felipe Augusto de M.; ROCHA, Camila Carlos Tavares; HORVAT, Joao Vicente; MENEZES, Marcos Roberto; HORVAT, NatallyRadiomics is a new field in medical imaging with the potential of changing medical practice. Radiomics is characterized by the extraction of several quantitative imaging features which are not visible to the naked eye from conventional imaging modalities, and its correlation with specific relevant clinical endpoints, such as pathology, therapeutic response, and survival. Several studies have evaluated the use of radiomics in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with encouraging results, particularly in the pretreatment prediction of tumor biological characteristics, risk of recurrence, and survival. In spite of this, there are limitations and challenges to be overcome before the implementation of radiomics into clinical routine. In this article, we will review the concepts of radiomics and their current potential applications in patients with HCC. It is important that the multidisciplinary team involved in the treatment of patients with HCC be aware of the basic principles, benefits, and limitations of radiomics in order to achieve a balanced interpretation of the results toward a personalized medicine.
- Ultrasonography During Surgery to Approach Cerebral Metastases: Effect on Karnofsky Index Scores and Tumor Volume(2017) OLIVEIRA, Marcelo de Lima; PICARELLI, Helder; MENEZES, Marcos Roberto; AMORIM, Robson Luis; TEIXEIRA, Manoel Jacobsen; BOR-SENG-SHU, EdsonBACKGROUND: The goals of treating a cerebral metastasis (CM) are to achieve local control of the disease and to improve patient quality of life. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of conventional surgery supported by intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS) to approach a CM. To perform this analysis, we determined the postoperative Karnofsky Performance Status Scale (KPS) scores and tumor resection grades. METHODS: Patients with a CM diagnosis were included in this study. Surgical treatment was either supported or not by IOUS. Pre-and postoperative KPS scores were determined by the oncology team, and cerebral tumor volume was estimated through pre-and postoperative magnetic resonance imaging. The surgical team determined whether it was possible to perform a total CM resection. RESULTS: There were 78 patients treated using surgical management (35 with and 43 without IOUS). In the IOUS group, the postoperative KPS scores were higher (80 vs. 70, respectively; P = 0.045) and the KPS evolution was superior (P = 0.036), especially in the following subgroups: difficulty of tumor resection ranking score < 4 (P = 0.037), tumor in an eloquent area (P = 0.043), tumor not associated with vessels or nerves (P = 0.007), and solitary lesions (P = 0.038). The residual tumor volume was lower in the IOUS group (9.5% and 1.6 mm(3) vs. 30.8% and 9 mm(3), respectively; P = 0.05). In patients with a KPS score >= 70, 62% of them had <10% residual tumors (76% in the IOUS group and 45% in the non-IOUS group; P = 0.032; odds ratio, 3.8). CONCLUSIONS: IOUS may improve postoperative KPS scores and decrease residual tumor volumes in CM surgeries. These findings should be confirmed in future studies.
- Diagnostic Yield of Computed Tomography-Guided Procedures for Spondylodiscitis(2022) PAZINATO, Lucas Vatanabe; URAKAWA, Felipe Shoiti; SETUGUTI, Daniel Takeshi; MOTTA-LEAL-FILHO, Joaquim Mauricio da; MENEZES, Marcos Roberto dePurpose To identify the diagnostic yield and predictive factors for microbiological diagnosis in patients with spondylodiscitis through computed tomography (CT)-guided biopsy or aspiration. Materials and methods A retrospective review of 102 patients with suspected spondylodiscitis who underwent CT-guided procedures in an 8-year period was conducted. Analyzed variables were demographic data, C-reactive protein, pre-biopsy MRI findings, prior antibiotic use, site of biopsy/aspiration, histopathological findings, culture results and radiation dose. Results The culture yield among all sites was 56%, 85.6% for paravertebral/discal fluid aspiration, 66.7% for disk-only biopsy, 52.9% for paravertebral soft tissue biopsy, and 39.6% for endplate bone-disk unit. Patients with paravertebral/disk collection on MRI had better yields when submitted to fluid aspiration instead of biopsy of other sites (78.9% vs. 36.6%; p = 0,006). Pyogenic etiology corresponded to 68.3% of cases and Staphylococcus aureus was the most common agent. Prior antibiotics exposure was associated with a lower yield (66.2% vs. 40.9%, p = 0,016). Conclusions CT-guided procedures are safe and well-tolerated in patients with suspected spondylodiscitis, with good microbiologic yield particularly in the presence of paravertebral/discal abscess.
- Whole-Body Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Oncology Setting: An Overview and Update on Recent Advances(2019) BEZERRA, Regis Otaviano Franca; RECCHIMUZZI, Debora Zachello; MOTA, Micaela Maciel dos Santos; GARCIA, Marcio Ricardo Taveira; MENEZES, Marcos Roberto de; MAZO, Paulo Eduardo; CERRI, Giovanni GuidoWhole-body magnetic resonance imaging is becoming an important tool in oncology as a nonirradiating imaging technique since recent technological advances allowed the incorporation of high-quality imaging in an adequate time. Moreover, the noninjection of radioisotope/intravenous contrast, low cost compared with traditional nuclear medicine techniques, and fast acquisition times are another distinct feature. Thus, the purpose of this article is to review the whole-body magnetic resonance imaging protocol and its main applications in the oncology setting.
