- Tumor Reduction with Pazopanib in a Patient with Recurrent Lumbar Chordoma(2018) RIBEIRO, Mauricio Fernando Silva Almeida; SOUSA, Micelange Carvalho de; HANNA, Samir Abdallah; MALDAUN, Marcos Vinicius Calfat; KURIMORI, Ceci Obara; LIMA, Luiz Guilherme Cernaglia Aureliano de; MATTEDI, Romulo Loss; MUNHOZ, Rodrigo RamellaIntroduction. Chordomas are rare malignancies of bone origin that occur in the axial skeleton, typically the skull base and lumbar/sacral regions. Although often classified as low-grade neoplasms, its locally infiltrative behavior may result in significant morbidity and mortality. Optimal surgical resection may be curative, but up to 50% of the cases relapse within 5 years, and currently there are no systemic treatments approved in this setting. A large proportion of these tumors express stem-cell factor receptor (c-KIT) and platelet-derived growth factor receptors (PDGFRs), providing a rationale for the use of tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Case report. A 27-year-old male presented with recurrent chordoma of the lumbar spine 4 years after initial diagnosis. Salvage therapies in the interval included repeat resections and radiation therapy. He ultimately developed multifocal recurrence not amenable to complete excision or reirradiation. A comprehensive genomic profiling assay was performed and revealed nondrugable alterations. Decision was made to proceed with systemic treatment with pazopanib 800 mg/day, resulting in tumor reduction (-23.1% reduction in size) and prolonged disease control. Conclusion. For this patient with a multiple recurrent chordoma and limited treatment options, pazopanib resulted in sustained clinical benefit following initial tumor reduction.
- Complete response to alectinib following crizotinib in an ALK-positive tumor with CNS involvement(2021) XAVIER, Camila B.; CANEDO, Felipe S. N. A.; LIMA, Fabiola A. S.; MELO, Raissa R.; LIMA, Luiz Guilherme C. A.; MARIN, Jose Flavio G.; SOUZA, Ciro E.; FEHER, OlavoInflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare entity that affects mostly children and young adults. The lungs are the most frequent primary site. When feasible, surgical resection is the standard of care and it is associated with long-term survival benefit. Metastatic disease is rare, and central nervous system involvement is very infrequent. There is paucity of data regarding systemic treatment of recurrent or metastatic disease but most IMTs present with ALK rearrangements, becoming potential targets to ALK inhibition. Diagnosis of ALK rearrangements by FISH or RT-PCR is standard and discordant results from immunohistochemistry are rare. Crizotinib is considered the standard therapy in ALK-positive cases. Data supporting the use of other ALK inhibitors are scant and derived only from case reports. We report a case of a patient harboring an ALK-positive by IHC, FISH-negative IMT, that initially responded well to crizotinib but progressed in the CNS, presenting a complete CNS response with second-generation ALK inhibitor alectinib.
- Rectal leiomyosarcoma as the initial phenotypic manifestation of Li–Fraumeni-like syndrome: a case report and review of the literature(2022) SEVERINO, N. P.; WAISBERG, J.; FRAGOSO, M. C. B. V.; LIMA, L. G. C. A. de; BALSAMO, F.; HENRIQUES, A. C.; BIANCO, B.; GEHRKE, F. de SousaBackground: Leiomyosarcoma is a rare malignant tumor of smooth muscle origin and represents 10–20% of all soft tissue sarcomas. Primary colon and rectal sarcomas constitute < 0.1% of all large bowel malignancies. In Li–Fraumeni syndrome, sarcomas are the second most frequent cancer (25%). Li–Fraumeni syndrome is a genetic disease with a familial predisposition to multiple malignant neoplasms. This syndrome has an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance and high penetrance characterized by germline TP53 mutations. Patients with a history of cancer who do not meet all the “classic” criteria for Li–Fraumeni syndrome are considered to have Li–Fraumeni-like syndrome. To the best of our knowledge, this article is the first report of a patient with rectal leiomyosarcoma as the initial phenotypic manifestation of Li–Fraumeni-like syndrome. The authors also present a literature review. Case presentation: A 67-year-old Brazilian woman underwent anterior rectosigmoidectomy and panhysterectomy secondary to rectal leiomyosarcoma. She subsequently developed carcinomatosis and died 2 years after the operation. Her family medical history consisted of a daughter who died at 32 years of age from breast cancer, a granddaughter diagnosed with adrenocortical carcinoma at 6 years of age and two siblings who died from prostate cancer. A genetic study was carried out to identify a pathogenic variant of Li–Fraumeni syndrome. In the DNA extracted from the peripheral blood leukocyte, restriction fragment length polymorphism was analyzed to search for mutations in the TP53 gene. The DNA sequencing identified the germline pathogenic variant p. R337H heterozygous in exon 10 of TP53. The patient was classified as having Li–Fraumeni-like syndrome. Conclusion: In patients with rectal leiomyosarcoma, it is advisable to investigate the family history of cancer and perform genetic studies to screen for Li–Fraumeni syndrome. © 2022, The Author(s).

- Measurement of extracapsular extension in sentinel lymph node as a possible predictor of residual axillary disease in breast cancer(2023) FREITAS, Gabriela Boufelli de; MOTA, Bruna Salani; MAESAKA, Jonathan Yugo; PINHEIRO, Cintia Cardoso; LIMA, Luiz Guilherme Cernaglia Aureliano de; JR, Jose Maria Soares; BARACAT, Edmund Chada; FILASSI, Jose RobertoBackground: The presence of Extracapsular Extension (ECE) in the Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy (SLNB) is still a doubt in the literature. Some studies suggest that the presence of ECE may be related to a greater number of posi-tive axillary lymph nodes which could impact Disease Free Survival (DFS) and Overall Survival (OS). This study searches for the clinical significance of the ECE. Methods: Retrospective cohort comparing the presence or absence of ECE in T1-2 invasive breast cancer with posi-tive SLNB. All cases treated surgically at the Cancer Institute of the State of Sa not similar to o Paulo (ICESP) between 2009 and 2013 were analyzed. All patients with axillary disease in SLNB underwent AD.Outcomes: Identify the association between the presence and length of ECE and additional axillary positive lymph nodes, OS and DFS between both groups. Results: 128 patients with positive SLNB were included, and 65 had ECE. The mean metastasis size of 0.62 (SD = 0.59) mm at SLNB was related to the presence of ECE (p < 0.008). The presence of ECE was related to a higher mean of positive sentinel lymph nodes, 3.9 (+/- 4.8) vs. 2.0 (+/- 2.1), p = 0.001. The median length of fol-low-up was 115 months. The OS and DFS rates had no differences between the groups. Conclusion:The presence of ECE was associated with additional positive axillary lymph nodes in this study. There-fore, the OS and DFS were similar in both groups after 10 years of follow-up. It is necessary for additional studies to define the importance of AD when SLNB with ECE.
