    Evidence for a Founder Effect of SDHB Exon 1 Deletion in Brazilian Patients With Paraganglioma
    (2023) FAGUNDES, Gustavo F. C.; FREITAS-CASTRO, Felipe; SANTANA, Lucas S.; AFONSO, Ana Caroline F.; PETENUCI, Janaina; FUNARI, Mariana F. A.; GUIMARAES, Augusto G.; LEDESMA, Felipe L.; PEREIRA, Maria Adelaide A.; VICTOR, Carolina R.; FERRARI, Marcela S. M.; COELHO, Fernando M. A.; SROUGI, Victor; TANNO, Fabio Y.; CHAMBO, Jose L.; LATRONICO, Ana Claudia; MENDONCA, Berenice B.; V, Maria Candida B. Fragoso; HOFF, Ana O.; ALMEIDA, Madson Q.
    Context Limited information is available concerning the genetic spectrum of pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL) patients in South America. Germline SDHB large deletions are very rare worldwide, but most of the individuals harboring the SDHB exon 1 deletion originated from the Iberian Peninsula. Objective Our aim was to investigate the spectrum of SDHB genetic defects in a large cohort of Brazilian patients with PPGLs. Methods Genetic investigation of 155 index PPGL patients was performed by Sanger DNA sequencing, multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification, and/or target next-generation sequencing panel. Common ancestrality was investigated by microsatellite genotyping with haplotype reconstruction, and analysis of deletion breakpoint. Results Among 155 index patients, heterozygous germline SDHB pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants were identified in 22 cases (14.2%). The heterozygous SDHB exon 1 complete deletion was the most frequent genetic defect in SDHB, identified in 8 out of 22 (36%) of patients. Haplotype analysis of 5 SDHB flanking microsatellite markers demonstrated a significant difference in haplotype frequencies in a case-control permutation test (P = 0.03). More precisely, 3 closer/informative microsatellites were shared by 6 out of 8 apparently unrelated cases (75%) (SDHB-GATA29A05-D1S2826-D1S2644 | SDHB-186-130-213), which was observed in only 1 chromosome (1/42) without SDHB exon 1 deletion (X-2 = 29.43; P < 0.001). Moreover, all cases with SDHB exon 1 deletion had the same gene breakpoint pattern of a 15 678 bp deletion previously described in the Iberian Peninsula, indicating a common origin. Conclusion The germline heterozygous SDHB exon 1 deletion was the most frequent genetic defect in the Brazilian PPGL cohort. Our findings demonstrated a founder effect for the SDHB exon 1 deletion in Brazilian patients with paragangliomas.

    Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2) is an autosomal dominant genetic disease caused by RET gene germline mutations that is characterized by medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) associated with other endocrine tumors. Several reports have demonstrated that the RET mutation profile may vary according to the geographical area. In this study, we collected clinical and molecular data from 554 patients with surgically confirmed MTC from 176 families with MEN2 in 18 different Brazili an centers to compare the type and prevalence of RET mutations with those from other countries. The most frequent mutations, classified by the number of families affected, occur in codon 634, exon 11 (76 families), followed by codon 918, exon 16 (34 families: 26 with M918T and 8 with M918V) and codon 804, exon 14 (22 families: 15 with V804M and 7 with V804L). When compared with other major published series from Europe, there are several similarities and some differences. While the mutations in codons C618, C620, C630, E768 and S891 present a similar prevalence, some mutations have a lower prevalence in Brazil, and others are found mainly in Brazil (G533C and M918V). These results reflect the singular proportion of European, Amerindian and African ancestries in the Brazilian mosaic genome.

    IMPORTANCE Large studies investigating long-term outcomes of patients with bilateral pheochromocytomas treated with either total or cortical-sparing adrenalectomies are needed to inform clinical management. OBJECTIVE To determine the association of total vs cortical-sparing adrenalectomy with pheochromocytoma-specific mortality, the burden of primary adrenal insufficiency after bilateral adrenalectomy, and the risk of pheochromocytoma recurrence. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This cohort study used data from a multicenter consortium-based registry for 625 patients treated for bilateral pheochromocytomas between 1950 and 2018. Data were analyzed from September 1, 2018, to June 1, 2019. EXPOSURES Total or cortical-sparing adrenalectomy. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Primary adrenal insufficiency, recurrent pheochromocytoma, and mortality. RESULTS Of 625 patients (300 [48%] female) with a median (interquartile range [IQR]) age of 30 (22-40) years at diagnosis, 401 (64%) were diagnosed with synchronous bilateral pheochromocytomas and 224 (36%) were diagnosed with metachronous pheochromocytomas (median [IQR] interval to second adrenalectomy, 6 [1-13] years). In 505 of 526 tested patients (96%), germline mutationswere detected in the genes RET (282 patients [54%]), VHL (184 patients [35%]), and other genes (39 patients [7%]). Of 849 adrenalectomies performed in 625 patients, 324 (52%) were planned as cortical sparing and were successful in 248 of 324 patients (76.5%). Primary adrenal insufficiency occurred in all patients treated with total adrenalectomy but only in 23.5% of patients treated with attempted cortical-sparing adrenalectomy. A third of patients with adrenal insufficiency developed complications, such as adrenal crisis or iatrogenic Cushing syndrome. Of 377 patients who became steroid dependent, 67 (18%) developed at least 1 adrenal crisis and 50 (13%) developed iatrogenic Cushing syndrome during median (IQR) follow-up of 8 (3-25) years. Two patients developed recurrent pheochromocytoma in the adrenal bed despite total adrenalectomy. In contrast, 33 patients (13%) treated with successful cortical-sparing adrenalectomy developed another pheochromocytoma within the remnant adrenal after a median (IQR) of 8 (4-13) years, all of which were successfully treated with another surgery. Cortical-sparing surgery was not associated with survival. Overall survivalwas associated with comorbidities unrelated to pheochromocytoma: of 63 patients who died, only 3 (5%) died of metastatic pheochromocytoma. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Patients undergoing cortical-sparing adrenalectomy did not demonstrate decreased survival, despite development of recurrent pheochromocytoma in 13%. Cortical-sparing adrenalectomy should be considered in all patients with hereditary pheochromocytoma.

    Phase 3 Trial of Selpercatinib in Advanced RET-Mutant Medullary Thyroid Cancer
    (2023) HADOUX, J.; ELISEI, R.; BROSE, M. S.; HOFF, A. O.; ROBINSON, B. G.; GAO, M.; JARZAB, B.; ISAEV, P.; KOPECKOVA, K.; WADSLEY, J.; FUEHRER, D.; KEAM, B.; BARDET, S.; SHERMAN, E. J.; TAHARA, M.; HU, M. I.; SINGH, R.; LIN, Y.; SOLDATENKOVA, V; WRIGHT, J.; LIN, B.; MAEDA, P.; CAPDEVILA, J.; WIRTH, L. J.
    Background Selpercatinib, a highly selective, potent RET inhibitor, has shown efficacy in advanced RET-mutant medullary thyroid cancer in a phase 1-2 trial, but its efficacy as compared with approved multikinase inhibitors is unclear.Methods We conducted a phase 3, randomized trial comparing selpercatinib as first-line therapy with the physician's choice of cabozantinib or vandetanib (control group). Eligible patients had progressive disease documented within 14 months before enrollment. The primary end point in the protocol-specified interim efficacy analysis was progression-free survival, assessed by blinded independent central review. Crossover to selpercatinib was permitted among patients in the control group after disease progression. Treatment failure-free survival, assessed by blinded independent central review, was a secondary, alpha-controlled end point that was to be tested only if progression-free survival was significant. Among the other secondary end points were overall response and safety.Results A total of 291 patients underwent randomization. At a median follow-up of 12 months, median progression-free survival as assessed by blinded independent central review was not reached in the selpercatinib group and was 16.8 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 12.2 to 25.1) in the control group (hazard ratio for disease progression or death, 0.28; 95% CI, 0.16 to 0.48; P<0.001). Progression-free survival at 12 months was 86.8% (95% CI, 79.8 to 91.6) in the selpercatinib group and 65.7% (95% CI, 51.9 to 76.4) in the control group. Median treatment failure-free survival as assessed by blinded independent central review was not reached in the selpercatinib group and was 13.9 months in the control group (hazard ratio for disease progression, discontinuation due to treatment-related adverse events, or death, 0.25; 95% CI, 0.15 to 0.42; P<0.001). Treatment failure-free survival at 12 months was 86.2% (95% CI, 79.1 to 91.0) in the selpercatinib group and 62.1% (95% CI, 48.9 to 72.8) in the control group. The overall response was 69.4% (95% CI, 62.4 to 75.8) in the selpercatinib group and 38.8% (95% CI, 29.1 to 49.2) in the control group. Adverse events led to a dose reduction in 38.9% of the patients in the selpercatinib group, as compared with 77.3% in the control group, and to treatment discontinuation in 4.7% and 26.8%, respectively.Conclusions Selpercatinib treatment resulted in superior progression-free survival and treatment failure-free survival as compared with cabozantinib or vandetanib in patients with RET-mutant medullary thyroid cancer.

    Fructosamine and glycated hemoglobin as biomarkers of glycemic control in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus and cancer (GlicoOnco study)
    (2023) TOYOSHIMA, Marcos Tadashi Kakitani; CUKIER, Priscilla; DAMASCENA, Aline Santos; BATISTA, Rafael Loch; CORREA, Fernanda de Azevedo; KAWAHARA, Eduardo Zanatta; MINANNI, Carlos Andre; HOFF, Ana O.; NERY, Marcia
    Introduction: Glycemic control is important to avoid diabetes complications in individuals with cancer. There is no evidence for HbA1c and fructosamine as reliable biomarkers in these conditions. There are particularities in caring for patients with diabetes and cancer that can alter these biomarkers.Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate HbA1c and fructosamine as glycemic biomarkers in people with type 2 diabetes and cancer, undergoing clinical or surgical oncological treatment. Methods: The authors conducted a single-center, retrospective analysis with people who have cancer and diabetes. Comparison of glycemic biomarkers (HbA1c, fructosamine, and Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose [SMBG]) was performed including evaluation in individuals undergoing chemotherapy, using glucocorticoids, with anemia, hypoproteinemia or with reduced estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR).Results: There was a strong positive correlation between fructosamine and HbA1c (n = 318, r = 0.66, p < 0.001) in people with diabetes and cancer even in those under chemotherapy (n = 101, r = 0.61, p < 0.001) or using glucocorticoids (n = 96, r = 0.67, p<0.001). There was a strong correlation between HbA1c and fructosamine in subjects with anemia (n = 111, r = 0.66, p < 0.001), hypoproteinemia (n = 54, r = 0.67, p < 0.001), or with eGFR & GE; 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 (n = 189, r = 0.70, p < 0.001), and moderate correlation with hypoalbuminemia (n = 21, r = 0.54, p = 0.001) and with reduced eGFR (n = 67, r = 0.57, p < 0.001). The correlations between fructosamine and HbA1c with SMBG were moderate (n = 164, r = 0.49, p < 0.001; n = 111, r = 0.55, p < 0.001, respectively), strong in subjects undergoing chemotherapy, with hypoalbuminemia or hypoproteinemia, and at least moderate, if eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 or with anemia. Conclusions: Fructosamine and HbA1c can be used as glycemic biomarkers in people with diabetes and cancer, even in those with anemia, hypoproteinemia, or undergoing chemotherapy.

    Bone and Calcified Soft Tissue Metastases of Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma Better Characterized on F-18-Fluoride PET/CT than on Ga-68-Dotatate PET/CT
    (2018) DUARTE, Paulo Schiavom; CASTRONEVES, Luciana Audi de; SADO, Heitor Naoki; SAPIENZA, Marcelo Tatit; HOFF, Ana Amelia Fialho de Oliveira; BUCHPIGUEL, Carlos Alberto
    Herein, we report a case of a 19-year-old man with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2B (MEN2B) and medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) diagnosed when he was 12 years of age. The patient had previously undergone total thyroidectomy, cervical radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. He progressed with known bone, pulmonary, and lymph node metastases and was scanned with F-18-fluoride (F-18-NaF) and Ga-68-dotatate whole-body positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) for metastatic disease monitoring. We found that the MTC bone metastases and soft tissue calcified metastases were better characterized on F-18-NaF PET/CT than on Ga-68-dotatate PET/CT. This case illustrates that the F-18-NaF PET/CT could be helpful not only to the detection of bone metastases but also to the detection of calcified soft tissue metastases in patients with MTC.

    Sterol O-Acyl Transferase 1 as a Prognostic Marker of Adrenocortical Carcinoma
    (2020) LACOMBE, Amanda Meneses Ferreira; SOARES, Ibere Cauduro; MARIANI, Beatriz Marinho de Paula; NISHI, Mirian Yumie; BEZERRA-NETO, Joao Evangelista; CHARCHAR, Helaine da Silva; BRONDANI, Vania Balderrama; TANNO, Fabio; SROUGI, Victor; CHAMBO, Jose Luiz; FREITAS, Ricardo Miguel Costa de; MENDONCA, Berenice Bilharinho; HOFF, Ana O.; ALMEIDA, Madson Q.; WEIGAND, Isabel; KROISS, Matthias; ZERBINI, Maria Claudia Nogueira; FRAGOSO, Maria Candida Barisson Villares
    Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare endocrine malignancy with an unfavorable prognosis. Despite the poor prognosis in the majority of patients, no improvements in treatment strategies have been achieved. Therefore, the discovery of new prognostic biomarkers is of enormous interest. Sterol-O-acyl transferase 1 (SOAT1) is involved in cholesterol esterification and lipid droplet formation. Recently, it was demonstrated that SOAT1 inhibition leads to impaired steroidogenesis and cell viability in ACC. To date, no studies have addressed the impact of SOAT1 expression on ACC prognosis and clinical outcomes. We evaluated SOAT1 expression by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry in a tissue microarray of 112 ACCs (Weiss score >= 3) from adults treated in a single tertiary center in Brazil. Two independent pathologists evaluated the immunohistochemistry results through a semiquantitative approach (0-4). We aimed to evaluate the correlation between SOAT1 expression and clinical, biochemical and anatomopathological parameters, recurrence-free survival (RFS), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). SOAT1 protein expression was heterogeneous in this cohort, 37.5% of the ACCs demonstrated a strong SOAT1 protein expression (score > 2), while 62.5% demonstrated a weak or absent protein expression (score <= 2). Strong SOAT1 protein expression correlated with features of high aggressiveness in ACC, such as excessive tumor cortisol secretion (p = 0.01), an advanced disease stage [European Network for the Study of Adrenal Tumors (ENSAT) staging system 3 and 4 (p = 0.011)] and a high Ki67 index (p = 0.002). In multivariate analysis, strong SOAT1 protein expression was an independent predictor of a reduced OS (hazard ratio (HR) 2.15, confidence interval (CI) 95% 1.26-3.66; p = 0.005) in all patients (n = 112), and a reduced RFS (HR 2.1, CI 95% 1.09-4.06; p = 0.027) in patients with localized disease at diagnosis (n = 83). Our findings demonstrated that SOAT1 protein expression has prognostic value in ACC and reinforced the importance of investigating SOAT1 as a possible therapeutic target for patients with ACC.

    Management of radioiodine refractory differentiated thyroid cancer: the Latin American perspective
    (2024) PITOIA, Fabian; SCHEFFEL, Rafael Selbach; CALIFANO, Ines; GAUNA, Alicia; TALA, Hernan; VAISMAN, Fernanda; GONZALEZ, Alejandro Roman; HOFF, Ana Oliveira; MAIA, Ana Luiza
    Radioiodine (RAI) refractory differentiated thyroid cancer is an uncommon and challenging situation that requires a multidisciplinary approach to therapeutic strategies. The definition of RAI-refractoriness is usually a clear situation in specialized centers. However, the right moment for initiation of multikinase inhibitors (MKI), the time and availability for genomic testing, and the possibility of prescribing MKI and selective kinase inhibitors differ worldwide.Latin America (LA) refers to the territories of the world that stretch across two regions: North America (including Central America and the Caribbean) and South America, containing 8.5% of the world's population. In this manuscript, we critically review the current standard approach recommended for patients with RAI refractory differentiated thyroid cancer, emphasizing the challenges faced in LA. To achieve this objective, the Latin American Thyroid Society (LATS) convened a panel of experts from Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and Colombia. Access to MKI compounds continues to be a challenge in all LA countries. This is true not only for MKI but also for the new selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor, which will also require genomic testing, that is not widely available. Thus, as precision medicine advances, significant disparities will be made more evident, and despite efforts to improve coverage and reimbursement, molecular-based precision medicine remains inaccessible to most of the LA population. Efforts should be undertaken to alleviate the discrepancies between the current state-of-the-art care for RAI-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer and the present situation in Latin America.

    Quality of Life and Coping in Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2
    (2019) CORREA, Fernanda A.; FARIAS, Evelin C.; CASTRONEVES, Luciana A.; LOURENCO JR., Delmar M.; HOFF, Ana O.
    Scarce data are available on the quality of life and psychosocial distress of patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2), a genetic cancer syndrome caused by RET germline mutations. Carriers of RET mutations can face several challenges, including fear for the future, guilt for transmission of a germline mutation to an offspring, side effects of cancer treatment, coping behaviors in the face of a chronic and frequently incurable cancer, and difficulties in access to adequate health care. We have addressed the effects of genetic testing on the quality of life of patients with MEN2 and the lifelong physical and psychosocial challenges experienced by these patients. We have also suggested strategies to minimize the burden of living with this chronic condition and the perspectives on future studies to improve the health-related quality of life of the patients.
