- Induction Chemotherapy for Locally Advanced Esophageal Cancer(2020) HARADA, Guilherme; BONADIO, Renata Rodrigues da Cunha Colombo; ARAUJO, Frederico Cantarino Cordeiro de; VICTOR, Carolina Ribeiro; SALLUM, Rubens Antonio Aissar; RIBEIRO JUNIOR, Ulysses; CECCONELLO, Ivan; TAKEDA, Flavio Roberto; CASTRIA, Tiago Biachi deBackground Concurrent chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery is the standard treatment for locally advanced esophageal cancer (EC), and the role of induction chemotherapy (IC) remains unclear. We aimed to study if the addition of IC to standard treatment increases the rate of pathologic complete response (pCR). Methods We assembled a retrospective analysis of patients (pts) diagnosed with locally advanced EC and treated with preoperative chemoradiotherapy followed by esophagectomy (CRT+S), preceded or not by IC, between 2009 and 2017. Patients' characteristics, tumor variables, and treatment outcomes were evaluated. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate overall survival and the Cox proportional hazard model to evaluate prognostic factors. Results One hundred and three patients were studied, with a median age of 62 years (range 37-84). Seventy-five patients (73%) were male, 67 (65%) had squamous cell carcinoma, and 31 (30%) had adenocarcinoma. Forty-three patients (41.7%) received IC followed by CRT+S (IC+CRT+S). The most frequent IC consisted of paclitaxel and platinum chemotherapy (90%), and the median number of cycles was 2. All patients received CRT+S. Concurrent chemotherapy was a combination of paclitaxel and platinum in 94 patients (91%). There was no statistically significant difference in pCR between the IC group and the standard CRT+S group. The pCR was 41.9% and 46.7% in the IC+CRT+S and CRT+S groups (p = 0.628), respectively. In the multivariate analysis, pCR was an independent prognostic factor for time to treatment failure (TTF) (HR 0.35, p = 0.021), but not for overall survival (OS) (p = 0.863). The factor that significantly affected OS in the multivariate analysis was positive lymph node (HR 5.9, 95%, p = 0.026). Conclusions Our data suggest that the addition of IC to standard CRT + S does not increase the pCR rate in locally advanced EC. No difference in OS was observed between pts. that received or not IC. Regardless of the treatment received, pts. achieving a pCR presented improved TTF.
- 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.
- Safety and Effectiveness of Chemotherapy for Metastatic Esophageal Cancer in a Community Hospital in Brazil(2019) VICTOR, Carolina Ribeiro; FUJIKI, Femanda Kaori; TAKEDA, Flavio Roberto; HOFF, Paulo Marcelo Gehm; CASTRIA, Tiago Biachi dePURPOSE Despite epidemiologic and molecular differences between esophageal and stomach cancers, most published studies have included patients with either disease in a metastatic scenario. We evaluated the safety and effectiveness of chemotherapy in patients with metastatic esophageal cancer in the community setting. PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients with synchronous metastatic esophageal cancer treated at a public hospital between 2008 and 2016. Patients were grouped according to a prescribed chemotherapy protocol: platinum and taxane (group A); platinum and irinotecan (group B); platinum and fluoropyrimidine (group C); and without platinum (group D). RESULTS Of the 1,789 patients with esophageal cancer treated, we included 397 with metastatic disease at presentation. Squamous cell carcinoma was the most frequent histology (78.8%). Median overall survival (OS) was 7 months (95% CI, 6.15 to 7.85 months). Chemotherapy was administered to 285 patients, who reached a median OS of 9.0 months (95% CI, 8.0 to 9.9 months); for 112 patients who did not receive treatment, median OS was 3 months (95% CI, 2.3 to 3.7 months; P < .001). The most used combination was platinum plus irinotecan (A; 55.5%). Disease control with in groups A, B, C, and D was 39.2%, 30.1%, 53% and 14.3%, respectively. Patients in group C reached a median OS of 17 months (95% CI, 13.1 to 20.8 months; P = .034). No differences were observed in median OS obtained with other protocols (9 months). The toxicity profile was different according to chemotherapy, with more severe events (hematologic, diarrhea, and number of days hospitalized) occurring in group B. CONCLUSION Platinum plus paclitaxel or platinum plus irinotecan provided similar OS in community patients, although patients receiving irinotecan experienced more severe events. In the adenocarcinoma population, a fluoropyrimidine plus platinum-based regimen, although less frequently used, had a more favorable toxicity profile, with superior median OS and disease control.

- INTRAPERITONEAL CHEMOTHERAPY FOR GASTRIC CANCER WITH PERITONEAL CARCINOMATOSIS: STUDY PROTOCOL OF A PHASE II TRIAL(2023) RAMOS, Marcus Fernando Kodama Pertille; PEREIRA, Marina Alessandra; CHARRUF, Amir Zeide; VICTOR, Carolina Ribeiro; GREGORIO, Joao Vitor Antunes Marques; ALBAN, Luciana Bastos Valente; MONIZ, Camila Motta Venchiarutti; ZILBERSTEIN, Bruno; MELLO, Evandro Sobroza De; HOFF, Paulo Marcelo Gehm; JUNIOR, Ulysses Ribeiro; DIAS, Andre RonconBackground: Peritoneal carcinomatosis in gastric cancer is considered a fatal disease, without expectation of definitive cure. As systemic chemotherapy is not sufficient to contain the disease, a multimodal approach associating intraperitoneal chemotherapy with surgery may represent an alternative for these cases.Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate the role of intraperitoneal chemotherapy in stage IV gastric cancer patients with peritoneal metastasis.Methods: This study is a single institutional single-arm prospective clinical trial phase II (NCT05541146). Patients with the following inclusion criteria undergo implantation of a peritoneal catheter for intraperitoneal chemotherapy: Stage IV gastric adenocarcinoma; age 18-75 years; Peritoneal carcinomatosis with peritoneal cancer index<12; Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group 0/1; good clinical status; and lab exams within normal limits. The study protocol consists of four cycles of intraperitoneal chemotherapy with paclitaxel associated with systemic chemotherapy. After treatment, patients with peritoneal response assessed by staging laparoscopy undergo conversion gastrectomy.Results: The primary outcome is the rate of complete peritoneal response. Progression-free and overall survivals are other outcomes evaluated. The study started in July 2022, and patients will be screened for inclusion until 30 are enrolled.Conclusions: Therapies for advanced gastric cancer patients have been evaluated in clinical trials but without success in patients with peritoneal metastasis. The treatment proposed in this trial can be promising, with easy catheter implantation and ambulatory intraperitoneal chemotherapy regime. Verifying the efficacy and safety of paclitaxel with systemic chemotherapy is an important progress that this study intends to investigate.
conferenceObject ERCC1 AND BETA-TUBULIN III IN ADVANCED NSCLC PATIENTS TREATED WITH CISPLATIN-VINORELBINE(2012) CASTRO JR., G. de; VICTOR, C. R.; BIGATON, F. J.; TAKAHASHI, T. K.; FEHER, O.; SABER, A. M. Ab'; TAKAGAKI, T. Y.; SIQUEIRA, S. A. C.; CHAMMAS, R.; HOFF, P. M. G.Background: Platinum-containing chemotherapy remains as the standard treatment in advanced/metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSC LC) patients (pts). Increased ERCC 1 expression has been associated with resistance to platinum-based therapies, and beta-tubulin III (TUBB 3) was shown to be involved in resistance to antimicrotubule agents. Here we studied these tumor markers in NSC LC pts treated with cisplatin-vinorelbine and correlated their expression with survival. Methods: It is a retrospective study on pts diagnosed with advanced/metastatic NSC LC (TNM 6th ed), consecutively identified. All pts were treated with cisplatin 80 mg/m2 d1 and vinorelbine 30 mg/m2 d1, d8, d15, every 21 days, 4–6 cycles, in our Institution, between Sep/2002 and Oct/2008. ERCC 1 (clone 8F1) and TUBB 3 (clone TUJ1) expression were evaluated by immunohistochemistry, and biomarker expression was considered as high when more than 10% of tumor cells presented moderate to strong staining, nuclear or cytoplasmic, respectively. Overall survival (OS) was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method and curves were compared with log-rank. Results: 142 pts were studied; median age 63 y (34-87), 67% male and 86% current smokers. Adenocarcinoma (ADC, 58 pts, 43%), followed by squamous cell carcinoma (SCC , 50 pts, 37%) were the most frequent histologic types. 100 pts (71%) were staged as IV and 34 pts (24%) as IIIB. The median number of cycles was 4 (1-7). Median OS was 7.9 mo. Overall, high ERCC 1 expression was observed in 61/104 pts (59%) and high TUBB 3 expression in 55/109 pts (51%). According to histologic types, low ERCC 1 expression was observed in 7/42 SCC pts (16%) and in 35/63 ADC pts (56%) (p=0.0004). Among ADC pts, 1-y OS rate was 28% and 47% in pts which tumors presented with high and low ERCC 1 expression, respectively (HR 1.57, 95% CI 0.9-2.7, p=0.08). TUBB 3 expression neither presented any difference between SCC and ADC types, nor any prognostic impact in terms of OS. Conclusions: Low ERCC 1 expression was observed more frequently in pts with advanced lung ADC and it was a favorable prognostic factor in ADC pts treated with cisplatin-vinorelbine.- Everolimus for cardiac rhabdomyomas in children with tuberous sclerosis. The ORACLE study protocol (everOlimus for caRdiac rhAbdomyomas in tuberous sCLErosis): a randomised, multicentre, placebo-controlled, double-blind phase II trial(2020) STELMASZEWSKI, Erica V.; PARENTE, Daniella B.; FARINA, Alberto; STEIN, Anna; GUTIERREZ, Anthony; RAQUELO-MENEGASSIO, Antonio F.; MANTEROLA, Carla; SOUSA, Carolina F. de; VICTOR, Carolina; MAKI, Dina; MORON, Elias M.; ABRANTES, Fabiano F. de; IQBAL, Fatima; CAMACHO-VILCHEZ, Jazmin; JIMENEZ-PAVON, Joanna; POLANIA, Juan P.; THOMPSON, Lorenzo; BONANATO, Lygia; DIEBOLD, Matthias; SILVA, Maria V. C. P. Da; NASHWAN, Mariam W. J.; GALVANI, Marianna A. G.; IDRIS, Osama E. A.; DANOS, Pierina; ORTIZ-LOPEZ, Rocio; MAHMOUD, Rofida A. A.; GRESSE JR., Sergio; LOSS, Karla L.Introduction: Tuberous sclerosis complex is a rare genetic disorder leading to the growth of hamartomas in multiple organs, including cardiac rhabdomyomas. Children with symptomatic cardiac rhabdomyoma require frequent admissions to intensive care units, have major complications, namely, arrhythmias, cardiac outflow tract obstruction and heart failure, affecting the quality of life and taking on high healthcare cost. Currently, there is no standard pharmacological treatment for this condition, and the management includes a conservative approach and supportive care. Everolimus has shown positive effects on subependymal giant cell astrocytomas, renal angiomyolipoma and refractory seizures associated with tuberous sclerosis complex. However, evidence supporting efficacy in symptomatic cardiac rhabdomyoma is limited to case reports. The ORACLE trial is the first randomised clinical trial assessing the efficacy of everolimus as a specific therapy for symptomatic cardiac rhabdomyoma. Methods: ORACLE is a phase II, prospective, randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind, multicentre protocol trial. A total of 40 children with symptomatic cardiac rhabdomyoma secondary to tuberous sclerosis complex will be randomised to receive oral everolimus or placebo for 3 months. The primary outcome is 50% or more reduction in the tumour size related to baseline. As secondary outcomes we include the presence of arrhythmias, pericardial effusion, intracardiac obstruction, adverse events, progression of tumour reduction and effect on heart failure. Conclusions: ORACLE protocol addresses a relevant unmet need in children with tuberous sclerosis complex and cardiac rhabdomyoma. The results of the trial will potentially support the first evidence-based therapy for this condition.
