- Long-term results of an endoscopic screening program for superficial esophageal cancer in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma(2022) MOURA, Renata Nobre; KUBOKI, Yeda; BABA, Elisa Ryoka; SAFATLE-RIBEIRO, Adriana; MARTINS, Bruno; PAULO, Gustavo Andrade de; TOLENTINO, Luciano Lenz; LIMA, Marcelo Simas de; KULCSAR, Marco Aurelio; SALLUM, Rubens Antonio Aissar; JR, Ulysses Ribeiro; MALUF-FILHO, FauzeBackground and study aims Patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) are at risk of a second primary tumor in the gastrointestinal tract, most commonly in the esophagus. Screening these patients for esophageal carcinoma may help detect asymptomatic dysplasia and early cancer, thus allowing curative treatment and more prolonged survival, but the impact of endoscopic screening remains uncertain. Here we aimed to describe the long-term results of an esophageal SCC screening program in patients with head and neck cancer in terms of prevalence, associated risk factors, and survival. Patients and methods We performed an observational study of a prospectively collected database including patients with HNSCC who had undergone high-definition endoscopy with chromoscopy between 2010 and 2018 at a Brazilian tertiary academic center. Results The study included 1,888 patients. The esophageal SCC prevalence was 7.9 %, with the majority (77.8 %) being superficial lesions. Significant risk factors for esophageal high-grade dysplasia (HGD) and invasive cancer included tumors of the oral cavity and oropharynx and the presence of low-grade dysplasia (LGD). Overall survival (OS) was significantly shorter among patients in whom esophageal cancer was diagnosed at an advanced stage (P < .001). OS did not significantly differ between patients with HGD and early esophageal cancer versus those without esophageal cancer (P = .210) Conclusions Endoscopic screening for superficial esophageal neoplasia in patients with HNSCC improves esophageal cancer detection. Screening could potentially benefit patients with primary cancer located at the oropharynx or oral cavity. In addition, the detection of esophageal LGD indicates a need for endoscopic surveillance.
- HOW TO IDENTIFY CERVICAL TRAUMATIC NEUROMAS IN THE POST-OPERATIVE NECK DISSECTION: BRIEF REVIEW OF THE CERVICAL PLEXUS ULTRASOUND(2022) MARCOS, Vincius neves; KULCSAR, Marco aurelio vamondes; HOFF, Ana oliveira; CHAMMAS, Maria cristina; FREITAS, Ricardo miguel costa DEtraumatic neuromas (CTNs) are a non-neoplastic hyperplasia of damaged nerves and may be misinterpreted as metastatic lymph nodes during cervical ultrasound of patients with thyroid cancer after lateral neck dissection, resulting in unnecessary and painful fin-needle aspiration biopsy. The anatomy of the cervical plexus is challenging, and the correct identification and recognition of its neural roots and branches on ultrasound are key to the correct CTN diagnosis. This review outlines the US technique used to characterize CTNs in 10 standardized steps and describes the sonographic features of the cervical plexus, to assist the radiologist in the recognition of CTNs and their differentiation from lymph node metastases.

bookPart Cirurgia transoral robótica(2022) KULCSAR, Marco Aurélio Vamondes; KOWALSKI, Luiz Paulo- Applied nutritional investigation Effect of age on resting energy expenditure in patients with cancer(2022) SOUZA, Micheline Tereza Pires de; OZORIO, Gislaine Aparecida; OLIVEIRA, Giovanna Nunes de; LOPEZ, Rossana Veronica Mendoza; ALVES-ALMEIDA, Maria Manuela Ferreira; KULCSAR, Marco Aurelio Vamondes; RIBEIRO JR., Ulysses; SINGER, Pierre; WAITZBERG, Dan L.Objective: Because older patients with cancer are at high risk for developing malnutrition, it is critical to understand their energy needs and to feed them appropriately. The aim of this study was to determine whether there are differences in resting energy expenditure between younger and older adults with cancer and in various age groups of older patients. Methods: This retrospective, observational, and descriptive study from a single center included adult ( 60 y) and older ( 0.001). The REE of older patients (1263.3 [234.1] kcal/d) was lower than that of patients 60 y, an REE greater than those for individuals 60 to 69 y, 70 to 79 y, and 0.001). REE in patients 60 to 69 y was greater than for those 0.001). When compared with the Harris-Benedict formula, the REE intraclass correlation coefficient for all older patients was 0.514 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.064-0.736); for ages 60 to 69 y it was 0.527 (95% CI, 0.126-0.733), and for ages 70 y, it was 0.466 (95% CI,-0.080 to-0.756). Conclusion: Measured REE in patients with cancer decreases with age. This finding is critical for appropriate caloric provision for older patients with cancer. ?? 2022 Elsevier Inc.

- Nutritional and immunological parameters as prognostic factors in patients with advanced oral cancer(2022) TREVISANI, Lorenzo Fernandes Moça; KULCSAR, Isabelle Fernandes; LEITE, Ana Kober Nogueira; KULCSAR, Marco Aurélio Vamondes; LIMA, Graziele Aparecida Simões; DEDIVITIS, Rogerio Aparecido; KOWALSKI, Luiz Paulo; MATOS, Leandro LuongoAbstract Objective: The aim of the present study was to analyze the prognostic relationship of weight loss and preoperative hematological indexes in patients surgically treated for pT4a squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity. Methods: A retrospective cohort study. Results: Percent weight loss greater than 10% was identified in 49 patients (28.2%), and any weight loss in relation to the usual weight occurred in 140 patients (78.7%). Percent weight loss greater than 10% (HR = 1.679), Red cell distribution width (RDW) values greater than 14.3% (HR = 2.210) and extracapsular spread (HR = 1.677) were independent variables associated with risk of death. Conclusion: Patients with advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity present significant weight loss and as significantly immunocompromised. Increased values of RDW and higher percentages of weight loss in relation to the individual’s usual weight, together with extracapsular spread of metastatic lymph nodes, were risk factors for lower survival, regardless of other clinical and anatomopathological characteristics. Level of evidence: 3.
- Risk factors associated with disease-specific mortality in papillary thyroid cancer patients with distant metastases(2022) NUNES, Kamilla Schmitz; MATOS, Leandro Luongo; CAVALHEIRO, Beatriz Godoi; MAGNABOSCO, Felipe Ferraz; TAVARES, Marcos Roberto; KULCSAR, Marco Aurelio; HOFF, Ana Oliveira; KOWALSKI, Luiz Paulo; LEITE, Ana KoberPurpose Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is among the most curable cancer types. Even though uncommon, some patients present distant metastatic disease at diagnosis or during the follow-up and most of them have long-term survival. However, there continues to be controversies regarding what clinicopathological features are associated with mortality in these patients. This paper evaluates the factors related to poor disease-specific survival (DSS) in patients with metastatic PTC. Methods A retrospective cohort study included PTC patients with distant metastasis from a tertiary public oncological center. Clinicopathological features, treatment modalities, and outcome were reviewed. Results Between 1986 and 2014, 108 patients were diagnosed with metastatic PTC. In the multivariate analysis male sex (HR = 2.65; 95%CI: 1.08-6.53; P = 0.033), radioiodine refractory disease (HR = 9.50; 95%CI: 1.23-73.38; P = 0.031) and metastasis at multiple sites (HR = 5.91; 95%CI: 1.80-19.32; P = 0.003) were independent risk factors for death in patients with metastatic PTC. Conclusion Male patients with metastatic PTC, with radioiodine refractory disease and metastasis at multiple sites have a high risk of death.
bookPart Cirurgia transoral a laser do câncer de laringe(2022) KULCSAR, Marco Aurélio Vamondes; GUIMARãES, André Vicente; KOWALSKI, Luiz Paulo- Malignant neoplasms of the oral cavity and oropharynx treated in Brazil: what do the hospital cancer registries reveal?(2022) FARIA, Sheilla de Oliveira; NASCIMENTO, Murilo Cesar do; KULCSAR, Marco Aurelio VamondesIntroduction: Head and neck cancer has an impact on the global burden of diseases, representing an important cause of morbidity and mortality in Brazil, as well as worldwide. Objective: To learn and describe the clinical, epidemiological and care configuration provided to patients with cancer of the oral cavity and oropharynx recorded in Brazil, diagnosed from 2007 to 2016. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study, carried out using secondary hospital-based data, using the indirect documentation technique. Results: There were 52,799 hospital records of oral cavity cancer and 34,516 cases of oropharyngeal cancer in the assessed period. There was a predominance of male patients, aged 5059 years, mostly Caucasians, and with a low level of schooling. Throughout the period there was a significant reduction in the positive history of alcohol and tobacco consumption, except for alcoholic beverages in oral cavity cancer. Most patients were diagnosed at an advanced stage of the disease (III or IV). Most patients with oral cavity cancer had no evidence of the disease on follow-up, while most patients with oropharyngeal cancer died. The first most frequent treatment offered to patients with oral cavity cancer was surgery, while for patients with oropharyngeal cancer it chemoradiotherapy predominated. Conclusion: Despite the fact that, in general, there was a reduction in the records of patient alcohol and tobacco consumption, the increase in the number of medical consultations, the predominantly late diagnosis and the patients low level of schooling indicate the need for health education, primary prevention and early diagnosis of cancer of the oral cavity and oropharynx.
- The impact of sentinel lymph node biopsy on the quality of life in patients with oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma(2022) SEFERIN, Marco Roberto; PINTO, Fabio Roberto; LEITE, Ana Kober Nogueira; DEDIVITIS, Rogerio Aparecido; KULCSAR, Marco Aurelio Vamondes; CERNEA, Claudio Roberto; MATOS, Leandro Luongo deIntroduction Sentinel lymph node biopsy is a proven method for staging the neck in patients with early oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma because it results in less comorbidity than the traditional method of selective neck dissection, with the same oncological results. However, the real effect of that method on the quality of life of such patients remains unknown. Objective The present study aimed to evaluate the quality of life of patients with oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma T1/T2N0 submitted to sentinel lymph node biopsy compared to those that received selective neck dissection. Methods Cross-sectional study including 24 patients, after a 36 month follow-up, 15 of them submitted to the sentinel lymph node biopsy and 9 to selective neck dissection. All patients answered the University of Washington quality of life questionnaire. Results The evaluation of the questionnaires showed a late worsening of the domains appearance (p = 0.035) and chewing (p = 0.041), as well as a decrease of about 10% of general quality of life (p = 0.025) in patients undergoing selective neck dissection in comparison to those undergoing sentinel lymph node biopsy. Conclusion Patients with early-stage oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma undergoing sentinel lymph node biopsy presented better late results of general quality of life, mainly regarding appearance and chewing, when compared to patients submitted to selective neck dissection.
