Transrectal ultrasound-guided (TRUS) prostate biopsy is the most important diagnostic step, without which a definitive diagnosis cannot be made. Despite this, TRUS-guided prostate biopsy has a high rate of false negatives and is often accompanied by various clinical complications. Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) is now widely used in routine urological and oncological practice. An element of mpMRI is diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), which is successfully used in detecting and localizing clinically significant prostate cancer. \u0000The study aimed to evaluate the DWI capacity in diagnosing prostate cancer. \u0000Methods: 52 patients, 48-86 years old, with suspected prostate cancer, underwent mpMRI. DWI sequences obtained using T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) were compared with each other and compared with the anatomical structure of the prostate. Suspicious prostate cancer sites were marked as regions of interest, for which an apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) was calculated. A 12-point TRUS-guided biopsy confirmed the presence or absence of prostate cancer. \u0000Results: When analyzing quantitative measurements, ADC showed low values for cancer in the central gland (transitional zone and central zone) – 0.610±0.157×10-3 mm2/s, p=0.0001, and for cancer in the peripheral zone – 0.651±0.228×10-3 mm2/s, p=0.0004, compared to normal tissue. It was found that the highest sensitivity value (87.5%) is typical for ADC central gland, and the lower value for ADC peripheral zone is 75%. The highest specificity value (90.9%) was observed in ADC peripheral zone, and a lower value in ADC central gland – was 84.1%. \u0000Conclusion: DWI is an effective non-invasive method for detecting and localizing prostate cancer, providing a qualitative (visual) and quantitative assessment of prostate cancer.","PeriodicalId":19480,"journal":{"name":"Oncologia i radiologia Kazakhstana","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80026530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When determining events, we were guided by the criteria of the protocols of the ALL-BFM group. \u0000Results: The age groups most exposed to B-ALL were 3-7 years old (43.5%), reflecting the so-called infant peak. In the clinical picture of this type of ALL, intoxication syndrome accompanying the period of manifestation was present in 75.3% of patients. The clinical polymorphism of the debut period determined the most diverse list of diagnoses of “masks.” Damage to organs and systems, in the form of liver failure, was detected in 41 (26.6%) children, with the development of respiratory failure in 12 (7.8%), cardiovascular failure in 5 patients (3.2%), acute kidney injury in 3 (1.9%), CNS damage in 5 (3.2%) patients. With B-ALL, the distribution of immunological variants was determined as follows: B1 – 9 (5.8%), B2 – 123 (79.8%), B3 – 18 (11,7%), B4 – 4 (2,6%) and leukemia of B-cell lymphoma was noted in one (0.6%) patient.

Based on clinical studies, this type of treatment was associated with better survival in sensitive patients than cytostatic therapy. Checkpoint inhibitors exert their effect by regulating the immune response to malignant cells, blocking the usual inhibitory pathways of T-cell regulation. The receptors of cytotoxic T-lymphocytic antigen-4 (CTLA-4) and programmed cell death protein (PD-1) or its associated ligand (PD-L-1) are the target of inhibitors. CTLA-4 acts at an early stage of triggering an antigenic response, and PD-1 and PD-L-1 act by modulating interaction with peripheral tissue \u0000However, treatment with checkpoint inhibitors (ICTs) is accompanied by a wide range of immune mediated adverse events associated with the activation of the immune system. Despite the positive effect on survival, side effects with endocrine effects were noted in about 10% of patients. \u0000The study aimed to assess the incidence of immune mediated adverse events from the thyroid gland in clinical practice in patients with different localization of malignant tumors in the first and subsequent lines of therapy with checkpoint inhibitors. \u0000Methods: The study utilized anamnestic, laboratory, and instrumental tests. Laboratory analysis included determining the blood levels of TSH, T3, T4, ACTH, and cortisol. Data analysis was carried out using the Microsoft Excel program. \u0000Results: The frequency of development of immune mediated thyroiditis against the background of therapy with blockers of control points of the immune pathway in our observation was 29%. The debut of thyroid disorders was diagnosed in the first 12-16 weeks of therapy, beginning with hyperthyroidism against the background of thyroid destruction, followed by a transition to persistent hypothyroidism after 1-3 months. \u0000Conclusion: When analyzing the safety profile of ICTs in patients in our study, immune mediated adverse reactions did not differ in frequency and spectrum from world practice. The spectrum of toxicity did not depend on the localization of the tumor. Early diagnosis of thyroid lesions necessary for optimal and effective treatment can be carried out using laboratory tests. Knowing the timing of the development of adverse events during ICT therapy allows timely diagnosing and correcting complications from the thyroid to continue effective therapy.","PeriodicalId":19480,"journal":{"name":"Oncologia i radiologia Kazakhstana","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82184540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
