While classically associated with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), cases of PBL in immunocompetent patients have been increasingly described. PBL shares common morphological and immunohistochemical features with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and multiple myeloma (MM). Due to the rarity of PBL, there is no current consensual standard therapy available. As a result, PBL treatment is mirrored after aggressive NHL regimens. One of the newly emerged therapeutic options for PBL is bortezomib, which is a proteasome inhibitor and a cornerstone in MM therapy. In recently published cases, bortezomib has shown promising results in PBL.Case report: In this report, we describe a patient with HIV-negative PBL who dramatically responded to bortezomib after failing several other lines of therapy. We also review 4 other, similar cases reported in the literature.Results and conclusion: We conclude that bortezomib resulted in rapid and dramatical responses regardless of the line of therapy. Although most of these responses were not sustained, bortezomib represents a new therapeutic option for PBL that should be further explored in larger clinical trials.","PeriodicalId":19684,"journal":{"name":"Onkologie","volume":"36 5","pages":"287-91"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1159/000350325","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"31443255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Standard first-line systemic chemotherapy is anthracycline-based. Gemcitabine/docetaxel (GD) is a therapeutic option in the second-line setting. Here we present the data of our single center retrospective analysis, using GD in locally advanced or metastatic disease.Patients and methods: Between 2005 and 2012, a total of 34 patients were identified. The majority of tumors were located in the extremities (19/34, 56%) and abdomen/retroperitoneum (10/34, 29%). Most frequent histologies included leiomyosarcoma (13/34, 38%), liposarcoma (7/34, 21%), and pleomorphic sarcoma (6/34, 18%).Results: Objective response to treatment by RECIST criteria after 3 cycles was low with 6% partial responses (PR, 2/34), 65% stable disease (SD, 22/34), and 29% progressive disease (PD, 10/34). Progression-free survival at 3 and 6 months was 77 and 62%, respectively. Patients with a clinical benefit (defined as PR or SD after the 3rd treatment cycle) had a significantly prolonged median progression-free and overall survival with 8.6 months (p < 0.0001; hazard ratio (HR) 33.1) and 22.4 months (p < 0.0001; HR 12.9), respectively.

The patients were distributed into 2 groups: Group 1 comprised patients without metastases; group 2 comprised patients with metastases. The symptomatic historic control group with BMs was defined retrospectively for survival comparisons.Results: 55 (57.3%) and 41 (42.7%) patients were in groups 1 and 2, respectively. 11 of the 96 patients (11.5%) had occult BMs, and 9 of them were in group 2 whereas only 2 patients were in group 1 (22% vs. 3.6%, respectively; p = 0.008). While the median survival times from the first metastasis (28.7 vs. 22.5 months, respectively; p = 0.561) and BM (6.8 vs. 6.1 months, respectively; p = 0.511) were similar, cerebral death was numerically different (16.7% vs. 46.3%; p = 0.221) between asymptomatic (n = 9) and symptomatic patients (n = 53).Conclusions: BMs were detected very rarely in asymptomatic, non-metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer patients compared with asymptomatic, metastatic patients.

The drug was administered at a rate 4 times greater than the recommended maximum dose. The first symptom of overdose - partial hearing loss - appeared after administration of the last dose of the drug on day 4 of the chemotherapy course. The initiation of intensive treatment with plasmapheresis and dialyses was ineffective. The patient died 18 days after receiving the last dose of cisplatin. The medication schedule had been prepared by an inexperienced physician. The information on cisplatin dosage had been sourced from a vague instruction in a clinical oncology manual: '100 mg/m(2) continuous i.v. infusion d.1-4'. The instruction was misinterpreted. The patient was given 100 mg/m(2) on each of the 4 days of the treatment.Conclusion: Special care must be taken when preparing a medication schedule; the treatment must be checked by an experienced physician and verified by the nursing staff.

A rising cancer incidence will lead to an increasing demand for platelet concentrates (PCs) while the number of potential donors will decrease. Pathogen inactivation (PI) aims to inactivate various infectious agents including emerging pathogens to extend the shelf-life of PCs and reduce the frequency of acute transfusion reactions (ATRs). In this context, the clinical and economic impact of PI on platelet transfusion was evaluated.Material and methods: Model calculations were conducted for 2 scenarios considering different production settings. Frequencies of ATRs were based on literature analyses, platelet and ATR costs on cost analyses.Results: The estimated average costs for ATRs of grade 1 and 2, irrespective of origin, and grade 3 (allergic) were € 104, € 238, and € 1,200, respectively. Approximately 400 PC-related ATRs per 10(5) transfusions can be avoided, with estimated savings amounting to € 77,000. The total cost increase was calculated to approximately € 30-50 per PI-treated PC.Conclusion: PI potentially saves plasma, prolongs shelf-life, decreases donor deferral, and reduces ATRs. Model calculations considering clinical and safety benefits of PI show a rational cost increase. The impact of PI should be further evaluated from a societal perspective regarding future blood supply and infectious disease globalization.","PeriodicalId":19684,"journal":{"name":"Onkologie","volume":"36 1-2","pages":"53-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1159/000346309","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"31346847","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The patient was submitted for ultrasound scanning, ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy, and excisional biopsy which revealed a mixed epithelial/mesenchymal tumor, 8 cm in diameter. A complete immunohistochemical profile was presented. A right modified radical mastectomy with axillary lymph node dissection was performed and was tolerated well by the patient. The histological diagnosis of the lesion was MeBC with the epithelial component consistent with a grade 3 ductal adenocarcinoma. The 14 dissected axillary nodes were not involved.

The 610 patients treated in the rural unit showed significantly more negative prognostic criteria than the 1,956 patients treated in the urban center. No differences were observed with respect to surgical and systemic treatment after adjustment for prognostic parameters. Adherence to national guidelines did not differ significantly between both settings and ranged between 78.0 and 95.6%.
