An analysis of changes in the expression of the VEGF neoangiogenic factor in the tumor tissue of patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the oral mucosa receiving targeted therapy with cetuximab and chemotherapy.Patients and methods. We performed an immunohistochemical study of tumor samples obtained from 60 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the oral mucosa T3-4N0-1M0. The main group comprised 30 patients who received therapy with cisplatin and fluoruracil plus cetuximab. The control group included 30 patients receiving standard chemotherapy without targeted therapy. Each group was divided into two subgroups with different treatment efficacy: patients sensitive to treatment (n = 17 in the group with cetuximab and n = 12 in the group without cetuximab) and resistant to treatment (n = 13 in the group with targeted therapy and n = 18 in the group with standard chemotherapy).Results. Quantification of the VEGF expression demonstrated minimal numbers of vessels stained positively for this marker in the field of view in patients of the main group sensitive to chemotherapy and cetuximab. The value was 5.3 times lower than initial values, and 4.3 times lower than in the subgroup of patients resistant to the treatment (the data were statistically significant, р = 0.0132 and р = 0.0455, respectively). In the control group, patients who were sensitive to the treatment showed 1.4 times lower values than initially (р = 0.921), and patients who were resistant to the treatment had 1.1 times lower values than initial values (р = 0.936). The data were not statistically significant.Conclusions. The study showed that the number of microvessels in patients resistant to chemotherapy and cetuximab was 4.3 times higher than in patients with effective targeted therapy (р = 0.0455). The differences in the control group were not statistically significant.","PeriodicalId":22147,"journal":{"name":"South Russian Journal of Cancer","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77992011","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}

Despite modern diagnostic capabilities provided for modern physicians, steadily frequent cases of triggering and exclusion are more common in patients older than 60–65 years. Surgery is the main treatment for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but as the disease progresses, unfortunately, its effectiveness decreases. The strategy of diagnosing and treating patients with one NSCLC has been developed and worked out for a long time and does not cause any difficulties, but in the presence of two or more tumors, especially when they are located in both lungs, the correct choice of therapy is determined by many additional factors. This article describes the rare use of extended bronchoplastic upper lobectomy as a surgical component of the complex treatment of a patient with bilateral synchronous NSCLC. Based on our own observational data, it can be claimed that the use of modern therapeutic principles in combination with surgical intervention allows achieving satisfactory long-term results in the treatment of patients with primary multiple NSCLC.The interest of the presented observation is based on the fact that it contains a description of a rare and unique application of sequential extended bronchoplastic upper lobectomy as a surgical component of the complex treatment of a patient with bilateral synchronous NSCLC, which we have not found analogues in the literature.

Two patients with advanced cancer of the tongue and the mouth floor with metastases to lymph nodes in the neck (St.4 (IVA, рT4a N2b M0), clinical group 2, were operated on according to our special technique. The surgery was performed under endotracheal anesthesia. After cervical lymph node dissection, the tongue and the mouth floor tissues were resected intraorally. The incisions were made through their entire thickness along healthy tissues. Smears were taken from the dissected tissues for intraoperative pathology consultation control for the presence of cancer cells. The tissues of the mouth floor affected by the tumor were completely removed without going beyond the hyoglossus muscle, since the lingual and hypoglossal nerves go along its outer surface.

To study the features of the local distribution of populations of immune system cells in patients with non-invasive muscular bladder cancer of various degrees of malignancy.Materials and methods. The study included 51 patients with newly diagnosed non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (papillary urothelial carcinoma) who received complex treatment and follow-up after 9 months at the oncourological department of the National Medical Research Center of Oncology. Patients were divided into two groups: group 1 – with a tumor of low malignant potential (Low grade – LG), n = 31; group 2 – with a tumor of high malignant potential (High grade – HG), n = 20. After 6–9 months, 24 patients were diagnosed with a relapse of the disease – in 48,4 % in patients of group 1 (n = 15) and in 45 % – in group 2 (n = 9). In cell suspensions obtained from the primary and recurrent tumors, as well as the perifocal zone, the relative number of populations of immunocompetent cells was estimated using flow cytometry. A comparison was made of the content of individual populations of lymphocytes in the tumor tissue, the perifocal zone of primary and recurrent lesions of various degrees of malignancy. Statistical processing was performed using Statistica 13.0.Results. The development of a recurrent tumor of low malignant potential is accompanied by the involvement of cells of innate immunity (NK- and NKT-lymphocytes) into its microenvironment, which is associated with an imbalance in the number of main cells of adaptive immunity – a fairly pronounced decrease in the tumor of T-lymphocytes of the helper-inductor type was noted with a constant content cytotoxic T-lymphocytes, as well as the multidirectional nature of changes in DP- (decrease) and DN-lymphocytes (increase).

Was to analyze changes in pathophysiological parameters of transplantable tumor growth and functional activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis (HPT) in rats of both sexes with Guerin's carcinoma in presence of induced hypothyroidism.Materials and methods. The dynamics of tumor growth and average life span were assessed in white alley rats of both sexes with Guerins carcinoma transplanted subcutaneously on the background of thyreostatic induced hypothyroidism. RIA (radioimmune assay) and ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) methods were used to determine levels of thyroid hormones in the blood and thyroid and tumor samples, and thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) in the hypothalamus, as well as TSH in the pituitary gland. The experiment included 2 control groups: animals of both sexes with hypothyroidism (control group 1, number of rodents = 15) and animals with subcutaneously transplanted Guerin's carcinoma without hypothyroidism (control group 2, number of rodents = 15).Results. Hypothyroidism in female rats inhibited the tumor growth and improved median survival by 1.8 times (p < 0.05). No such effect was observed in males of the main group. Levels of regulatory peptides of the hypothalamus and pituitary gland declined in females of the main group, while levels of TSH in the pituitary gland in males increased, despite a decrease in TRH by 3.5 times. TSH levels decreased in the thyroid and blood of animals of both sexes; however, a decrease in levels of total and free circulating thyroxine (T4 and FT4) by 1.6 times and by 2.8 times was found in the tumor, respectively; samples of Guerin's carcinoma in males of the main group remained saturated with T4 and FT4 as well as and in control group rodents without induced hypothyroidism.Conclusions. The gender differences in the pathophysiology of the tumor development in presence of hypothyroidism, as well as changes in the functional activity of the HPT axis in experimental animals revealed in this study can probably be associated with sex hormones, which requires further study of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis and steroid hormones in peripheral organs and tumor samples. ","PeriodicalId":22147,"journal":{"name":"South Russian Journal of Cancer","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81496162","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}

Obtaining collections of primary lung cancer cell lines is an important task in creating various models for preclinical studies.Materials and methods. The materials are represented by postoperative tumor samples obtained from 25 patients with newly diagnosed lung cancer without prior treatment. The following methods were used to obtain primary cultures: enzymatic dissociation in Hanks' solution with the addition of 300 units/ml collagenase I (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA), enzymatic dissociation using the Brain Tumor Dissoсiation Kit (Miltenyi Biotec, Germany) and 150 units/ml. ml of collagenase I, as well as the method of explants. The following methods were used to remove fibroblasts: the use of the FibrOut™ system (CHI Scientific, USA), magnetic separation of fibroblasts using Anti-Fibroblast MicroBeads (Miltenyi Biotec, Germany), and cold trypsinization.Results. We have obtained 15 primary lung cancer cell cultures that have passed the zero order passage. In this work, the method of enzymatic dissociation turned out to be the most effective.

To study the expression of immunophenotypic marker molecules on B-lymphocytes of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia at the stages of immunochemotherapy while monitoring minimal residual disease.Patients and methods. 20 patients with CLL were examined, who in the period 2019–2022 underwent 6 courses of immunochemotherapy (ICT) in the RB/FCR mode at the National Medical Research Centre for Oncology, Rostov-on-Don. Before, after 3, 6 courses of ICT, bone marrow immunophenotyping was performed by flow cytometry. The data is evaluated in Statistica 13.0.Results. Before treatment, 3 groups of patients were identified depending on the expression of prognostic markers (CD38, ZAP‑70, CD11c, CD25, FMC7). I (2 people) – without expression of CD38, ZAP‑70, CD11c, CD25, FMC7 on tumor B-lymphocytes. II (14 people) – with variable expression of CD25, CD38 (0.4–47.6 % and 0.0–57.5 %, respectively), lack of expression of ZAP‑70, CD11c, FMC7. III (4 people)– with high expression of CD38 (57.5–69.2 %), ZAP‑70 (36.6–48.3 %), CD11c (20.0–96.5 %), CD25 (64.9–92.7 %), FMC7 (13.6–88.6 %).

Brain metastases (BMs) occur in 10–12 % of cases and constitute a factor in the unfavorable prognosis of the disease. The possibilities of surgical treatment are often limited by the localization of a metastatic tumor, and the vast majority of chemotherapy drugs don’t penetrate the blood- brain barrier, therefore radiation therapy, particularly stereotactic radiosurgery, the principle of which is a single high dose (15–24 Gy) of ionizing radiation to the pathological focus, is the most important method of treatment. High accuracy of tumor irradiation is ensured by rigid immobilization of the patient (using stereotactic frames or individual three- layer thermoplastic masks) in combination with positioning of the patient and control of his position by orthogonal X-rays. According to various authors, the use of stereotactic radiosurgery provides local control over BMs in 90 % of patients, regardless of the histological type of the primary focus, age and gender of the patient. The article describes a clinical case of successful radiosurgical treatment of a child suffering from extra- skeletal Ewing’s sarcoma, in which following the complex treatment, progression of the disease, represented by multiple metastatic brain damage was revealed; the cumulative volume of metastatic foci was 2.3 cm 3 and due to the proximity of the brain stem, as well as in order to avoid exceeding the tolerant load on healthy brain tissues, the total focal dose did not exceed 16 Gy. A complete response to therapy in the form of regression of all foci was noted six months after the treatment. To date, insufficient data has been published on the use of stereotactic radiosurgery in pediatric oncology, but in the available literature, the authors demonstrate the effectiveness and safety of treatment. Further research is needed to study the effect of the radiosurgical method on the children.","PeriodicalId":22147,"journal":{"name":"South Russian Journal of Cancer","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90351458","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}

To represent the results of a two-stage surgical treatment in patients with extensive pelvic bone defects. Materials and methods. Data on 7 patients who underwent surgery for pelvic and sacrum tumors at the National Medical Research Centre for Oncology from 2016 up to 2020 are presented. The average age of the patients was 36 years. Patients with massive tumors that required a major resection of the posterior pelvis and the formation of an extensive bone defect requiring reconstruction with massive allografts and implants were selected for the study. 5 patients underwent different variations of sacrectomies with the resection of the iliac bones; 2 patients – interiliac- abdominal resections. For all these patients, surgical treatment was split into 2 stages. Results. At the first stage we performed: 5 surgical interventions (total or extended sacrectomy at L5–S1 with lumbar- iliac bilateral stabilization with an 8-screw pedicle system) in patients with sacral tumors. In 2 cases, an interilio- abdominal resection with the defect replacement with cement articulating spacer. Intraoperative blood loss on average was 1.8L. We used autohemotransfusion to compensate the intraoperative blood loss. The 2nd (reconstructive) stage was completed on average after 3 months. The reconstructive stage was not accompanied by major trauma in all patients. The average blood loss was approximately 800 ml. There were no complications after the reconstructive surgical stage. Conclusion. The described two-stage technique allowed to avoid severe infectious complications requiring removal of implants and grafts in all patients. Adequate spinal pelvic stabilization and/or spacing of the defect contributed to early functional rehabilitation of patients and the continuation of adequate adjuvant therapy in the interstage period. The delaying of the reconstruction allowed to reduce the duration and invasiveness of the main intervention without affecting the final result of treatment.","PeriodicalId":22147,"journal":{"name":"South Russian Journal of Cancer","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89337833","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}
