- PROGRAD - An observational study of the prognosis of inpatients evaluated for palliative radiotherapy(2018) CHEN, Andre Tsin Chih; MAURO, Geovanne Pedro; GABRIELLI, Flavia; CHAVES, Cristiane de Lacerda Goncalves; CASTRO, Igor; VASCONCELOS, Karina Moutinho; REIS, Milena; SARAIVA, Thalita; CARVALHO, Heloisa Andrade deBackground and purpose: Low-and-middle-income countries have resource constraints and waiting lists for radiotherapy (RT). In this context, we sought to determine the survival of inpatients evaluated for palliative RT in a large referral cancer center in Brazil. Material and methods: From November 2014 through December 2015, we enrolled 333 inpatients with palliative RT evaluation requests in this prospective observational study. We applied Palliative Prognostic Index (PPI) and Survival Prediction Score using Number of Risk Factors (NRF). Primary end-point was overall survival. Secondary endpoints were survival by PPI and NRF. (ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT02312791). Results: Median survival (MS) for the entire cohort was 73 days. PPI <= 2 had MS of 120 days; PPI 2.5-4 had MS of 55 days (HR 1.84; 95% CI, 1.07-3.16); PPI >4 had MS of 39 days (HR 3.45; 95% CI, 2.07-5.74) (p<.0001). NRF 0-1 had MS of 129 days; NRF 2 had MS of 73 days (HR 1.74; 95% CI 0.89-3.38); NRF 3 had MS of 40 days (HR 2.95; 95% CI, 1.50-5.78) (p<.0001). Conclusion: Inpatients with palliative RT requests seem to have an overall poor survival. PPI and NRF can define subgroups with different prognosis. This could help hospitals and healthcare systems to standardize criteria for prioritization and contribute for fairness.
conferenceObject Prospective study of biomarkers in squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal (SCCAC) and their influence on treatment outcomes: Five-year long-term results.(2020) MONIZ, Camila Motta Venchiarutti; RIECHELMANN, Rachel Pimenta; BRAGHIROLI, Maria Ignez; RIBEIRO, Suilane Coelho; RIVELLI, Thomas Giollo; BARIANI, Giovanni M.; CHEN, Andre Tsin Chih; NAHAS, Caio; BONADIO, Renata Colombo; ORTEGA, Cinthia; FRANCO, Rejane; MEIRELES, Sibele; PEREIRA, Allan Andresson Lima; SABBAGA, Jorge; COUDRY, Renata A.; HOFF, Paulo Marcelo- Implementation of image-guided brachytherapy (IGBT) for patients with uterine cervix cancer: a tumor volume kinetics approach(2016) CARVALHO, Heloisa de Andrade; MENDEZ, Lucas Castro; STUART, Silvia Radwanski; GUIMARAES, Roger Guilherme Rodrigues; RAMOS, Clarissa Cerchi Angotti; PAULA, Lucas Assad de; SALES, Camila Pessoa de; CHEN, Andre Tsin Chih; BLASBALG, Roberto; BARONI, Ronald HuebPurpose: To evaluate tumor shrinking kinetics in order to implement image-guided brachytherapy (IGBT) for the treatment of patients with cervix cancer. Material and methods: This study has prospectively evaluated tumor shrinking kinetics of thirteen patients with uterine cervix cancer treated with combined chemoradiation. Four high dose rate brachytherapy fractions were delivered during the course of pelvic external beam radiation therapy (EBRT). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exams were acquired at diagnosis (D), first (B1), and third (B3) brachytherapy fractions. Target volumes (GTV and HR-CTV) were calculated by both the ellipsoid formula (VE) and MRI contouring (VC), which were defined by a consensus between at least two radiation oncologists and a pelvic expert radiologist. Results: Most enrolled patients had squamous cell carcinoma and FIGO stage IIB disease, and initiated brachytherapy after the third week of pelvic external beam radiation. Gross tumor volume volume reduction from diagnostic MRI to B1 represented 61.9% and 75.2% of the initial volume, when measured by VE and VC, respectively. Only a modest volume reduction (15-20%) was observed from B1 to B3. Conclusions: The most expressive tumor shrinking occurred in the first three weeks of oncological treatment and was in accordance with gynecological examination. These findings may help in IGBT implementation.

- A Prospective Cohort Study of Biomarkers in Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Anal Canal (SCCAC) and their Influence on Treatment Outcomes(2021) MONIZ, Camila Motta Venchiarutti; RIECHELMANN, Rachel Pimenta; OLIVEIRA, Suilane Coelho Ribeiro; BARIANI, Giovanni Mendonca; RIVELLI, Thomas Giollo; ORTEGA, Cintia; PEREIRA, Allan Andresson Lima; MEIRELES, Sibele Inacio; FRANCO, Rejane; CHEN, Andre; BONADIO, Renata Colombo; NAHAS, Caio; SABBAGA, Jorge; COUDRY, Renata Almeida; BRAGHIROLI, Maria Ignez; HOFF, Paulo MarceloBackground: Although Chemoradiation (CRT) is the curative treatment for SCCAC, many patients present primary resistance. Since it is a rare tumor, response predictors remain unknown. Methods: We performed a prospective cohort study to evaluate biomarkers associated with CRT response, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). The primary endpoint was response at 6 months (m). Tumor DNA and HPV were analyzed by next-generation sequencing, while KI-67 and PD-L1 by immunohistochemistry in tumor tissue. Results: Seventy-eight patients were recruited between October/2011 and December/2015, and 75 were response evaluable. The median age was 57 years, 65% (n=49) were stage III and 12% (n=9) were HIV positive (HIV+). At 6m, 62.7% (n=47) presented CR. On multivariate analyses, stage II patients were 4.7 more likely to achieve response than stage III (OR, 4.70; 95%CI, 1.36-16.30; p=0.015). HIV+ was associated with a worse response (OR, 5.72; 95%CI, 2.5-13.0; p<0.001). 5-year PFS and OS rates were 63.3% and 76.4%, respectively, with a median follow up of 66m. On multivariate analyses, older age (HR 1.06, p=0.022, 95%IC 1.01-1.11) and absence of CR at 6m (HR 3.36, p=0.007, 95%IC 1.39-8.09) were associated with inferior OS. The 5-year OS rate was 62.5% in HIV+ group compared to 78% among HIVpts, although this difference was not statistically significant (p=0.4). PIK3CA, MET and TP53 mutations, HPV, Ki-67 expression, and PD-L1 expression, were not associated with PFS and OS. Conclusions: Clinical stage III and HIV+ were associated with worse response to CRT at 6m. The absence of CR was the main factor associated with poor 5-year OS.
- Treatment Outcomes in Patients with Advanced Fibrolamellar Hepatocellular Carcinoma Under Systemic Treatment: Analysis of Clinical Characteristics, Management, and Radiomics(2023) FONSECA, Leonardo Da; YAMAMOTO, Victor Junji; CUNHA, Mateus Trinconi; TORRE, Giovanna Sawaya; ARAUJO, Raphael L. C.; FONSECA, Gilton Marques; CHEN, Andre Tsin Chih; CHAGAS, Aline Lopes; HERMAN, Paulo; ALVES, Venancio Avancini Ferreira; CARRILHO, Flair JosePurpose: Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FLHCC) is a rare primary liver malignancy often diagnosed at advanced stages. While there are limited data on the efficacy of specific agents, we aim to report outcomes of patients treated with systemic therapies and explore prognostic factors.Patients and Methods: Medical records of patients treated between 2010 and 2022 were reviewed. Treatments were defined after multidisciplinary assessment. Descriptive statistics were used for baseline demographics. Time-to-event outcomes were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, compared by log-rank and adjusted by a regression model. Radiomic features (including size, shape, and texture) of the primary lesion were extracted and dimensionality reduced. An unsupervised Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) clustering was performed, and survival was compared between clusters.Results: We identified 23 patients: 12 males, with a median age of 23.6 years. At diagnosis, 82.6% had metastases, most frequently to the lungs (39.1%), lymph nodes (39.1%), and peritoneum (21.7%). Patients received a median of three lines (1-8) of treatment, including different regimens. Sorafenib (39.1%), capecitabine (30.4%), and capecitabine/interferon (13%) were the most used first-line regimens. The median time-to-failure was 3.8 months (95% CI: 3.2-8.7). Capecitabine + interferon (42.1%) and platinum combinations (39.1%) were the most used second-line regimens, with a time-to-failure of 3.5 months (95% CI: 1.5-11.6). Median overall survival was 26.7 months (95% CI: 15.1-40.4). A high baseline neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was associated with worse survival (p=0.02). Radiomic features identified three clusters, with one cluster (n=6) having better survival (40.4 vs 22.6 months, p=0.039). Tumor sphericity in the arterial phase was the most relevant characteristic associated with a better prognosis (accuracy=0.93).Conclusion: FLHCC has unique features compared to conventional HCC, including young onset, gender balance, and absence of hepatopathy. Systemic therapies can provide encouraging survival, but lack of uniformity precludes defining a preferable regimen. Radiomics and NLR were suggested to correlate with prognosis and warrant further validation.
