    (2016) CAPELLI, Fabio de Aquino; PAES, Vitor Ribeiro; MACHADO, Mariangela Marinheiro; MENEZES, Camila Lohmann; SILVA, Pablo Rodrigo Andrade da; SIQUEIRA, Sheila Aparecida Coelho; ALVES, Venancio Avancini Ferreira; MATOS, Leandro Luongo; CERNEA, Claudio Roberto
    PURPOSE: To quantify the amount of lymph nodes harvested in modified radical neck dissection. METHODS: Cross-sectional anatomical study conducted in 28 non-preserved cadavers. RESULTS: The mean number of lymph nodes found in each nodal level of the 56 modified radical neck dissections performed were: level IA - 1.5 (95% CI: 1.1 - 1.8), level IB - 2.5 (95% CI: 2.1 - 2.9), level IIA - 7.2 (95% CI: 6.0 - 8.5), IIB level - 6.5 (95% CI: 5.5 - 7.4), level III - 6.6 (95% CI: 5.7 - 7.4), level IV - 8.6 (95% CI: 7.1 - 10.1), level V - 11 (95% CI: 9.2 - 12.7), totalizing 43.8 lymph nodes (95% CI: 40.3 - 47.4). CONCLUSION: The results defined a parameter in relation to the minimum recommended nodal yield in a modified radical neck dissection, as well as the number of lymph nodes in each level of this dissection, performed in clinical practice.

    Penetrance of Functioning and Nonfunctioning Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors in Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1 in the Second Decade of Life
    (2014) GONCALVES, Tatiana D.; TOLEDO, Rodrigo A.; SEKIYA, Tomoko; MATUGUMA, Sergio E.; MALUF FILHO, Fauze; ROCHA, Manoel S.; SIQUEIRA, Sheila A. C.; GLEZER, Andrea; BRONSTEIN, Marcelo D.; PEREIRA, Maria A. A.; JUREIDINI, Ricardo; BACCHELLA, Telesforo; MACHADO, Marcel C. C.; TOLEDO, Sergio P. A.; LOURENCO JR., Delmar M.
    Context: Data are scarce on the penetrance of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1)-related nonfunctioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NF-PETs) and insulinomas in young MEN1 patients. Apotential positive correlation between tumor size and malignancy (2-3 cm, 18%; >3 cm, 43%) has greatly influenced the management of MEN1 adults with NF-PETs. Objective: The aim of the study was to estimate the penetrance of NF-PETs, insulinomas, and gastrinomas in young MEN1 carriers. Design: The data were obtained from a screening program (1996-2012) involving 113 MEN1 patients in a tertiary academic reference center. Patients: Nineteen MEN1 patients (aged 12-20 y; 16 patients aged 15-20 y and 3 patients aged 12-14 y) were screened for NF-PETs, insulinomas, and gastrinomas. Methods: Magnetic resonance imaging/computed tomography and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) were performed on 10 MEN1 carriers, magnetic resonance imaging/computed tomography was performed on five patients, and four other patients underwent an EUS. Results: The overall penetrance of PETs during the second decade of life was42%(8 of 19). All eight PET patients had NF-PETs, and half of those tumors were multicentric. One-fifth of the screened patients (21%; 4 of 19) harbored at least one large tumor (>2.0 cm). Insulinoma was detected in two NF-PET patients (11%) at the initial screening; gastrinoma was not present in any cases. Six of the 11 (54%) screened patients aged 15-20 years who underwent an EUS had NF-PETs. Potential false-positive EUS results were excluded based on EUS-guided biopsy results, the reproducibility of the NF-PET findings, or the observation of increased tumor size during follow-up. Distal pancreatectomy and the nodule enucleation of pancreatic head tumors were conducted on three patients with large tumors (>2.0 cm; T2N0M0) that were classified as grade 1 neuroendocrine tumors (Ki-67 < 2%). Conclusions: Our data demonstrated high penetrance of NF-PETs in 15- to 20-year-old MEN1 patients. The high percentage of the patients presenting consensus criteria for surgery for NF-PET alone or NF-PET/insulinoma suggests a potential benefit for the periodic surveillance of these tumors in this age group.

    Differential expression of genes encoding proteins of the HGF/MET system in insulinomas
    (2015) MURAT, Cahue de Bernardis; ROSA, Paula Waki Lopes da; FORTES, Maria Angela Henriques Zanella; CORREA, Luciana; MACHADO, Marcel Cerqueira Cesar; NOVAK, Estela Maria; SIQUEIRA, Sheila Aparecida Coelho; PEREIRA, Maria Adelaide Albergaria; CORREA-GIANNELLA, Maria Lucia; GIANNELLA-NETO, Daniel; GIORGI, Ricardo Rodrigues
    Background: Insulinomas are the most common functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, whereas histopathological features do not predict their biological behaviour. In an attempt to better understand the molecular processes involved in the tumorigenesis of islet beta cells, the present study evaluated the expression of genes belonging to the hepatocyte growth factor and its receptor (HGF/MET) system, namely, MET, HGF; HGFAC and ST14 (encode HGF activator and matriptase, respectively, two serine proteases that catalyze conversion of pro-HGF to active HGF); and SPINT1 and SPINT2 (encode serine peptidase inhibitors Kunitz type 1 and type 2, respectively, two inhibitors of HGF activator and of matriptase). Methods: Quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction was employed to assess RNA expression of the target genes in 24 sporadic insulinomas: 15 grade 1 (G1), six grade 2 (G2) and three hepatic metastases. Somatic mutations of MET gene were searched by direct sequencing of exons 2, 10, 14, 16, 17 and 19. Results: Overexpression of MET was observed in the three hepatic metastases concomitantly with upregulation of the genes encoding HGF and matriptase and downregulation of SPINT1. A positive correlation was observed between MET RNA expression and Ki-67 proliferation index while a negative correlation was detected between SPINT1 expression and the mitotic index. No somatic mutations were found in MET gene. Conclusion: The final effect of the increased expression of HGF, its activator (matriptase) and its specific receptor (MET) together with a decreased expression of one potent inhibitor of matriptase (SPINT1) is probably a contribution to tumoral progression and metastatization in insulinomas.

    Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma and correlated neoplasms with T-cell follicular helper phenotype: from molecular mechanisms to therapeutic advances
    (2023) LAGE, Luis Alberto de Padua Covas; CULLER, Hebert Fabricio; REICHERT, Cadiele Oliana; SIQUEIRA, Sheila Aparecida Coelho da; PEREIRA, Juliana
    Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is the second most frequent subtype of mature T-cell lymphoma (MTCL) in the Western world. It derives from the monoclonal proliferation of T-follicular helper (TFH) cells and is characterized by an exacerbated inflammatory response and immune dysregulation, with predisposition to autoimmunity phenomena and recurrent infections. Its genesis is based on a multistep integrative model, where age-related and initiator mutations involve epigenetic regulatory genes, such as TET-2 and DNMT3A. Subsequently, driver-mutations, such as RhoA G17V and IDH-2 R172K/S promote the expansion of clonal TFH-cells (""second-hit""), that finally begin to secrete cytokines and chemokines, such as IL-6, IL-21, CXCL-13 and VEGF, modulating a network of complex relationships between TFH-cells and a defective tumor microenvironment (TME), characterized by expansion of follicular dendritic cells (FDC), vessels and EBV-positive immunoblasts. This unique pathogenesis leads to peculiar clinical manifestations, generating the so-called ""immunodysplastic syndrome"", typical of AITL. Its differential diagnosis is broad, involving viral infections, collagenosis and adverse drug reactions, which led many authors to use the term ""many-faced lymphoma"" when referring to AITL. Although great advances in its biological knowledge have been obtained in the last two decades, its treatment is still an unmet medical need, with highly reserved clinical outcomes. Outside the setting of clinical trials, AITL patients are still treated with multidrug therapy based on anthracyclines (CHOP-like), followed by up-front consolidation with autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). In this setting, the estimated 5-year overall survival (OS) is around 30-40%. New drugs, such as hypomethylating agents (HMAs) and histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDAi), have been used for relapsed/refractory (R/R) disease with promising results. Such agents have their use based on a biological rationale, have significant potential to improve the outcomes of patients with AITL and may represent a paradigm shift in the therapeutic approach to this lymphoma in the near future.

    Secondary myeloid neoplasms: bone marrow cytogenetic and histological features may be relevant to prognosis
    (2017) TANIZAWA, Roberta Sandra da Silva; ZERBINI, Maria Claudia Nogueira; ROSENFELD, Ricardo; KUMEDA, Cristina Aiko; AZEVEDO, Raymundo Soares; SIQUEIRA, Sheila Aparecida Coelho; VELLOSO, Elvira Deolinda Rodrigues Pereira
    Abstract Background: Secondary myeloid neoplasms comprise a group of diseases arising after chemotherapy, radiation, immunosuppressive therapy or from aplastic anemia. Few studies have addressed prognostic factors in these neoplasms. Method: Forty-two patients diagnosed from 1987 to 2008 with secondary myeloid neoplasms were retrospectively evaluated concerning clinical, biochemical, peripheral blood, bone marrow aspirate, biopsy, and immunohistochemistry and cytogenetic features at diagnosis as prognostic factors. The International Prognostic Scoring System was applied. Statistical analysis employed the Kaplan–Meier method, log-rank and Fisher's exact test. Results: Twenty-three patients (54.8%) were male and the median age was 53.5 years (range: 4–88 years) at diagnosis of secondary myeloid neoplasms. Previous diseases included hematologic malignancies, solid tumors, aplastic anemia, autoimmune diseases and conditions requiring solid organ transplantations. One third of patients (33%) were submitted to chemotherapy alone, 2% to radiotherapy, 26% to both modalities and 28% to immunosuppressive agents. Five patients (11.9%) had undergone autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The median latency between the primary disease and secondary myeloid neoplasms was 85 months (range: 23–221 months). Eight patients were submitted to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation to treat secondary myeloid neoplasms. Important changes in bone marrow were detected mainly by biopsy, immunohistochemistry and cytogenetics. The presence of clusters of CD117+ cells and p53+ cells were associated with low survival. p53 was associated to a higher risk according to the International Prognostic Scoring System. High prevalence of clonal abnormalities (84.3%) and thrombocytopenia (78.6%) were independent factors for poor survival. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that cytogenetics, bone marrow biopsy and immunohistochemistry are very important prognostic tools in secondary myeloid neoplasms.

    Significant differences in demographic, clinical, and pathological features in relation to smoking and alcohol consumption among 1,633 head and neck cancer patients
    (2013) MOYSES, Raquel Ajub; LOPEZ, Rossana Veronica Mendoza; CURY, Patricia Maluf; SIQUEIRA, Sheila Aparecida Coelho; CURIONI, Otavio Alberto; FILHO, Jose Francisco de Gois; FIGUEIREDO, David Livingstone Alves; TAJARA, Eloiza Helena; MICHALUART JR., Pedro
    OBJECTIVE: As a lifestyle-related disease, social and cultural disparities may influence the features of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck in different geographic regions. We describe demographic, clinical, and pathological aspects of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck according to the smoking and alcohol consumption habits of patients in a Brazilian cohort. METHODS: We prospectively analyzed the smoking and alcohol consumption habits of 1,633 patients enrolled in five Sao Paulo hospitals that participated in the Brazilian Head and Neck Genome Project - Gencapo. RESULTS: The patients who smoked and drank were younger, and those who smoked were leaner than the other patients, regardless of alcohol consumption. The non-smokers/non-drinkers were typically elderly white females who had more differentiated oral cavity cancers and fewer first-degree relatives who smoked. The patients who drank presented significantly more frequent nodal metastasis, and those who smoked presented less-differentiated tumors. CONCLUSIONS: The patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck demonstrated demographic, clinical, and pathological features that were markedly different according to their smoking and drinking habits. A subset of elderly females who had oral cavity cancer and had never smoked or consumed alcohol was notable. Alcohol consumption seemed to be related to nodal metastasis, whereas smoking correlated with the degree of differentiation.

    Hepatocellular carcinoma may display elevated nestin expression in endothelial cells: experimental study
    (2015) NOGUEIRA, Adriano Barreto; NOGUEIRA, Ariel Barreto; COSTA, Anderson Lino; LIMA, Fabiana Roberto; SIQUEIRA, Sheila Aparecida; TEIXEIRA, Manoel Jacobsen
    CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Nestin, a class VI intermediate filament protein, is highly expressed in the portal mesenchyme and sinusoidal endothelium of the human fetal liver, but scarcely expressed in adult portal vessel endothelium. During experimental liver regeneration, an increased number of nestin-positive parenchymal cells have been observed in the zone adjacent to the Hering canals. These parenchymal cells are regarded as hepatic stem cells or hepatoblasts, which may be involved in hepatocellular carcinogenesis. In the light of recent reports describing nestin-positive parenchymal cells in hepatocellular carcinoma, we aimed to use this tumor type as a positive control for immunohistochemical detection of nestin. DESIGN AND SETTING: Experimental study conducted at a university hospital. METHODS: Hepatocellular carcinoma sections from one case were analyzed for nestin expression by immunohistochemistry using confocal microscopy. RESULTS: Surprisingly, a conspicuous pattern resembling liver sinusoid-like cytoarchitecture was observed upon nestin staining of endothelial cells. CONCLUSIONS: This pattern has not been previously described. The preliminary results shown here suggest that nestin-positive endothelial cells are located in niches of immature or proliferative cells. Moreover, nestin expression in endothelial cells of hepatocellular carcinoma enhances the role of angiogenesis in this tumor type, although the prevalence of this immunohistopathological pattern remains to be determined. Finally, hepatocellular carcinoma is an effective positive control for nestin staining in fluorescent immunohistochemistry.
