    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, Carlos
    Introduction: 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.

    Primary liposarcoma of the pancreas: A review illustrated by findings from a recent case
    (2016) MACHADO, Marcel Cerqueira Cesar; FONSECA, Gilton Marques; MEIRELLES, Luciana Rodrigues de; ZACCHI, Flavia Fernandes Silva; BEZERRA, Regis Otaviano Franca
    Liposarcoma is the most common soft tissue sarcoma and accounts for 15%-20% of all mesenchymal malignancies. The tumor occurs most frequently in limbs and retroperitoneum, with only rare instances of visceral location reported. Pancreas is a very rare site of primary liposarcoma, with a total of seven cases reported since 1979 and only four of those in the English literature. We review the literature specific for primary liposarcoma of the pancreas and discuss radiological and pathological aspects of this rare tumor type as well as emerging options of treatment. The review is illustrated by findings of a recent case of a dedifferentiated liposarcoma of the pancreas coupled with undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, including the first description of this rare tumor by magnetic resonance imaging. The patient was successfully treated with distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy, followed by adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy. At the 5-year follow-up, the patient showed no signs of recurrence.

    Practical approach to primary retroperitoneal masses in adults
    (2018) MOTA, Micaela Maciel dos Santos; BEZERRA, Regis Otaviano França; GARCIA, Marcio Ricardo Taveira
    Abstract Primary retroperitoneal masses constitute a heterogeneous group of uncommon lesions and represent a challenge due to overlapping imaging findings. Most are malignant lesions. Although they are more prevalent in adults, they can occur at any age. Such lesions are classified as primary when they do not originate from a specific retroperitoneal organ and are divided, according to the image findings, into two major groups: solid and cystic. The clinical findings are nonspecific and vary depending on the location of the lesion in relation to adjacent structures, as well as on its behavior. The main imaging methods used for staging and surgical planning, as well as for selecting the biopsy site and guiding the biopsy procedure, are computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. In most cases, the treatment is challenging, because of the size of the lesions, vascular involvement, or involvement of adjacent organs. In this article, we present a review of the retroperitoneal anatomy and a practical approach to the main imaging features to be evaluated, with a view to the differential diagnosis, which can guide the clinical management.

    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 Guido
    Whole-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.

    Hepatocyte-specific contrast agent-enhanced magnetic resonance cholangiography: perioperative evaluation of the biliary tree
    (2017) ZATTAR-RAMOS, Luciana Carmen; BEZERRA, Regis Otaviano Franca; SIQUEIRA, Luis Tenório de Brito; MENEZES, Marcos Roberto; LEITE, Claudia da Costa; CERRI, Giovanni Guido
    Abstract A large number of gadolinium chelates have recently been tested in clinical trials. Some of those have already been approved for clinical use in the United States and Europe. Thus, new diagnostic perspectives have been incorporated into magnetic resonance imaging studies. Among such gadolinium chelates are hepatobiliary-specific contrast agents (HSCAs), which, due to their property of being selectively taken up by hepatocytes and excreted by the biliary ducts, have been widely used for the detection and characterization of focal hepatic lesions. In comparison with conventional magnetic resonance cholangiography (MRC), HSCA-enhanced MRC provides additional information, with higher spatial resolution and better anatomic evaluation of a non-dilated biliary tree. A thorough anatomic assessment of the biliary tree is crucial in various hepatic surgical procedures, such as complex resection in patients with colorectal cancer and living-donor liver transplantation. However, the use of HSCA-enhanced MRC is still limited, because of a lack of data in the literature and the poor familiarity of radiologists regarding its main indications. This pictorial essay aims to demonstrate the use of HSCA-enhanced MRC, with particular emphasis on anatomical analysis of the biliary tree, clinical applications, and the most important imaging findings.
