    L1 cell adhesion molecule (L1CAM) in stage IB cervical cancer: distinct expression in squamous cell carcinomas and adenocarcinomas
    (2020) CARVALHO, Joao Paulo Mancusi de; SALIM, Rafael C.; CARVALHO, Filomena Marino; GENTA, Maria Luiza Nogueira Dias; BARACAT, Edmund Chada; CARVALHO, Jesus Paula
    Aims L1 cell adhesion molecule (L1CAM) has been shown to be correlated with tumour progression, attributed to its possible association with epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), characterised by the expression of vimentin and loss of e-cadherin. Herein, we investigate the associations between L1CAM and clinicopathological parameters, as well as the expression of vimentin and e-cadherin, in carcinomas restricted to the cervix. Methods The study was retrospective observational and included 45 squamous cell carcinomas (63.4%) and 26 adenocarcinomas (36.6%) submitted to primary surgical treatment. Patient age, FIGO (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics) stage, tumour size and follow-up were obtained from the medical records. All the slides were revised to evaluate histological differentiation, lymphovascular space invasion, depth of infiltration, disease-free cervical wall thickness, pattern of invasion front, Silva pattern (for adenocarcinomas) and the percentage of tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes. Tissue microarrays were constructed for immunohistochemical staining for L1CAM, e-cadherin and vimentin. Results Adenocarcinomas were associated with lower disease-free and overall survival. L1CAM and vimentin expressions were more frequent among adenocarcinomas, although loss of e-cadherin expression was more common among squamous carcinomas. L1CAM expression was associated with larger tumours, vimentin expression and lower disease-free survival. No association was observed between the expression of either L1CAM or vimentin and loss of e-cadherin. High levels of tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes were more frequent in squamous cell carcinoma, high-grade tumours, destructive pattern at front of invasion and loss of e-cadherin expression. Conclusions Our results confirm the prognostic role of L1CAM in cervical carcinomas, but suggest a role for mechanisms other than EMT.

    Cervical cancer: what's new?
    (2015) SADALLA, Jose Carlos; ANDRADE, Jurandyr Moreira de; GENTA, Maria Luiza Nogueira Dias; BARACAT, Edmund Chada
    Cervical cancer is the most common gynecological cancer in Brazil. Among women, it is the second most frequent, second only to breast cancer. It is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the country, with estimated 15,590 new cases (2014) and 5,430 deaths (2013). In order to update information to improve outcomes, reduce morbidity and optimize the treatment of this cancer, this article will address the advancement of knowledge on cervical cancer. The topics covered include the role of surgery in different stages, treatment of locally advanced carcinomas, fertility preservation, the role of the sentinel lymph node technique, indications and techniques of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and some special situations.

    Secondary healing strategy for difficult wound closure in invasive vulvar cancer: a pilot case-control study
    (2019) DIAS-JR, Altamiro Ribeiro; SOARES-JR, Jose Maria; FARIA, Maria Beatriz Sartor de; GENTA, Maria Luiza Noqueira Dias; CARVALHO, Jesus Paula; BARACAT, Edmund C.
    OBJECTIVES: Despite the number of surgical advances and innovations in techniques over time, radical vulvectomy frequently results in substantial loss of tissue that cannot be primarily closed without tension, the mobilization of surrounding tissues or even the rotation of myocutaneous flaps. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of leaving the surgical vulvar open wound for secondary healing in situations where primary closure of the vulvar wound is not possible. METHODS: This case-control pilot study analyzed 16 women with a diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva who first underwent inguinofemoral lymphadenectomy, 6-week sessions of chemotherapy and 25 daily sessions of radiotherapy. Afterward, excision of the vulvar lesion with free margins was performed between January 2011 and July 2017. Twelve patients underwent primary closure of the wound (control), and in 4 patients, the surgical wound was left open for secondary healing by means of a hydrofiber (case). The inclusion criteria were a) FIGO-2009 stage II up to IIIC; b) squamous cell carcinoma; and c) no evidence of pelvic or extrapelvic disease or pelvic nodal involvement. The exclusion criteria were extrapelvic disease or pelvic nodal involvement, another primary cancer, or a poor clinical condition. ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02067052. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients at the time of the intervention was 62.1. The distribution of the stages was as follows: II, n=6 (37 %); IIIA, n=1 (6%), IIIB, n=1 (6%) and IIIC, n=8 (51%). The mean operative time was 45 minutes. The hospital stay duration was 2 days. Full vulvar healing occurred after an average of 30 days in the control group and after an average of 50 days in the case group. CONCLUSION: A secondary healing strategy may be an option for the treatment of vulvar cancer in situations of non-extensive surgical wounds when primary closure of the wound is not possible.

    Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy With Cisplatin and Gemcitabine Followed by Chemoradiation Versus Chemoradiation for Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer: A Randomized Phase II Trial
    (2019) COSTA, Samantha Cabral S. da; BONADIO, Renata Colombo; GABRIELLI, Flavia Carolina G.; ARANHA, Andrea S.; GENTA, Maria Luiza N. Dias; MIRANDA, Vanessa C.; FREITAS, Daniela de; ABDO FILHO, Elias; FERREIRA, Patricia A. O.; MACHADO, Karime K.; SCARANTI, Mariana; CARVALHO, Heloisa de A.; ESTEVEZ-DIZ, Maria Del Pilar
    PURPOSE Although chemoradiation therapy (CRT) with cisplatin remains the standard treatment of patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC), 40% of patients present with disease recurrence. Additional treatment strategies are required to improve outcomes. We conducted a trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) with cisplatin and gemcitabine followed by CRT. METHODS In this phase II trial, patients with LACC (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage IIB to IVA or with positive lymph nodes) were randomly assigned to three cycles of NAC with cisplatin and gemcitabine followed by standard CRT with weekly cisplatin plus pelvic radiotherapy or to standard CRT alone. The primary end point was 3-year progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary end points were response rate, 3-year locoregional control, 3-year overall survival (OS), safety, and quality of life. RESULTS From 107 patients enrolled in the trial, 55 were randomly assigned to the NAC arm and 52 to the CRT-alone arm. The majority of patients had squamous cell carcinoma (87.8%). After a median follow-up of 31.7 months, NAC was associated with an inferior PFS, with 3-year PFS rates of 40.9% v 60.4% in the CRT arm (hazard ratio, 1.84; 95% CI, 1.04 to 3.26; P = .033). NAC also was associated with a lower OS (3-year OS rate, 60.7% v 86.8%; hazard ratio, 2.79; 95% CI, 1.29 to 6.01; P = .006). After treatment completion, complete response rates were 56.3% in the NAC arm and 80.3% in the CRT arm (P = .008). Toxicities were similar in both arms, with the exception of hypomagnesemia and neuropathy being more common with NAC. CONCLUSION This study shows that the addition of NAC consisting of cisplatin and gemcitabine to standard CRT is not superior and is possibly inferior to CRT alone for the treatment of LACC.

    Role of systematic pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy in delayed debulking surgery after six neoadjuvant chemotherapy cycles for high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma
    (2021) LOPES, Andre; GENTA, Maria L. N. D.; MIRANDA, Vanessa da Costa; ARANHA, Andrea; LOPEZ, Rossana V. M.; PIATO, Dariane S. A. M.; ANTON, Cristina; CARVALHO, Filomena M.; DIZ, Maria del Pilar Esteves; CARVALHO, Jesus P.
    Introduction We analyzed the role of systematic pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy in delayed debulking surgery after six neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) cycles for advanced high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma. Materials and Methods We retrospectively reviewed patients with advanced ovarian carcinoma who underwent NACT with carboplatin-paclitaxel between 2008 and 2016. Patients were included only if they had FIGO IIIC-IVB high-grade serous carcinoma with clinically negative lymph nodes after six NACT cycles (carboplatin-paclitaxel) and underwent complete or near complete cytoreduction. Patients with partial lymphadenectomy or bulky nodes were excluded. Patients who underwent systematic pelvic and aortic lymphadenectomy and those who did not undergo lymph node dissection were compared. Progression-free and overall survivals were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results Totally, 132 patients with FIGO IIIC-IVB epithelial ovarian carcinoma were surgically treated after NACT. Sixty patients were included (39 and 21 in the lymphadenectomy and nonlymphadenectomy group, respectively); 40% had suspicious lymph nodes before NACT. Patient characteristics, blood transfusion numbers, and complication incidence were similar between the groups. In the lymphadenectomy group, 12 patients (30.8%) had histologically positive lymph nodes and the surgical time was longer (229 vs. 164 min). The median overall survival in the lymphadenectomy and nonlymphadenectomy groups, respectively, was 56.7 (95% CI 43.4-70.1) and 61.2 (21.4-101.0) months (p = 0.934); the corresponding disease-free survival was 8.1 (6.2-10.1) and 8.3 (5.1-11.6) months (p = 0.878). Six patients exclusively presented with lymph node recurrence. Conclusions Systematic lymphadenectomy after six NACT cycles may have no influence on survival.

    Cardiophrenic lymph node resection in cytoreduction for primary advanced or recurrent epithelial ovarian carcinoma: a cohort study
    (2019) LOPES, Andre; COSTA, Ronaldo Lucio Rangel; PAULA, Raphael di; ANTON, Cristina; CALHEIROS, Ytauan; SARTORELLI, Vivian; KANASHIRO, Yara Mitie; LIMA, Joao Alves de; YAMADA, Alayne; PINTO, Gabriel Lowndes de S.; VIANNA, Maria Regina; GENTA, Maria Luiza Nogueira Dias; RIBEIRO, Ulysses; SANTOS, Marcelo Oliveira dos
    Objectives To evaluate the clinical outcomes of epithelial ovarian carcinoma patients who underwent cardiophrenic lymph node resection. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the records of all surgically treated patients with advanced epithelial ovarian carcinoma (stages IIIC-IV) who underwent cardiophrenic lymph node resection between 2002 and 2018. Only those in whom cardiophrenic lymph node involvement was the only detectable extra-abdominal disease were included. Patients with suspected cardiophrenic lymph node metastasis on staging images underwent a transdiaphragmatic incision to access the para-cardiac space after complete abdominal cytoreduction achievement. Data on disease-free survival, overall survival, and surgical procedures performed concurrently with cardiophrenic lymph node resection were collected. Results Of the total 456 patients, 29 underwent cardiophrenic lymph node resection; of these, 24 patients met the inclusion criteria. Twenty-two, one, and one patients had high grade serous epithelial ovarian carcinoma, low grade epithelial ovarian carcinoma, and ovarian carcinosarcoma, respectively. Ten patients had recurrent disease (recurrence group). Fourteen patients underwent cytoreduction during primary treatment (primary debulking group); four underwent cytoreduction after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Cardiophrenic lymph node resection was performed on the right side in 19 patients, left side in three, and bilaterally in two. The average procedural duration was 28 minutes, with minimal blood loss and no severe complications. Twenty-one patients had cardiophrenic lymph node positivity. The median disease-free intervals were 17 and 12 months in the recurrent and primary debulking surgery groups, respectively. The mediastinum was the first recurrence site in 10 patients. Five patients developed brain metastases. Five patients had an overall survival beyond 50 months. Conclusions Although rare, the cardiophrenic lymph nodes may be a site of metastasis of ovarian cancer. Although their presence might indicate future recurrence, some patients may achieve long-term survival. Resection should be considered in cases of suspicious involvement to confirm extra-abdominal disease and achieve complete cytoreduction.
