The 40 metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer patients were enrolled in the study that underwent both post-therapeutic radioiodine scan and PET-CT at the same period.Results. The study found that 12 (30 %) patients responded to RAI therapy. The remaining 28 (70 %) patients not responded to RAI therapy showed stabilization or progression. The accumulation of radioiodine by metastases positively correlated with the total response rate, while the 18 F-FDG avidity is negative. Significant direct correlation with response rate was observed in the group with only radioiodine uptake. However, this correlation was not observed in the patients with both tracers uptake. The patients with 18 F-FDG-positive metastases showed poor response to RAI therapy, regardless of the degree of radioiodine uptake.Conclusion. The 18 F-FDG uptake by metastases is a predictor of a poor response to RAI therapy, even in the presence of RAI uptake. The use of 18 F-FDG PET-CT in patients with metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer can be recommended at the beginning of RAI therapy to clarify the prognosis and provide a personalized approach to the treatment and observation of the most difficult category of patients.","PeriodicalId":36598,"journal":{"name":"Opuholi Golovy i Sei","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67780525","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}

This retrospective study included 48 patients with primary squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue (Т1–2) that were treated in Nizhny Novgorod Regional Clinical Oncology Dispensary between 2012 and 2019. The experimental group comprised 25 patients who underwent hemiglossectomy with simultaneous preventive cervical lymph node dissection. The control group was composed of 23 patients who underwent hemiglossectomy alone due to the presence of concomitant somatic pathology. Before surgery, none of the patients had any signs of metastatic lesions in the cervical LNs according to the results of clinical and instrumental examinations. After surgery, 100 % of patients from the experimental group were found to have N1–2b cervical LN metastases at histological examination. Patients from the control group developed clinical signs of cervical LN metastasis within a year after operation. All patients underwent radiotherapy. The experimental group was divided into two subgroups: patients from subgroup 1 (n = 11) received cetuximab due to disease progression, whereas patients from subgroup 2 (n = 14) received cisplatin. Participants from the control group received no chemotherapy due to their concomitant somatic disorders and because regional metastasis was not confirmed.Results. In the control group, the time between surgery and patient’s death varied between 8 and 14 months. Patients from subgroups 1 and 2 survived for 12–60 months and 8–48 months respectively. So far, 9 patients from subgroup 1 and 6 patients from subgroup 2 are alive. Among them, 8 participants from subgroup 1 and 4 participants from subgroup 2 have no signs of disease progression. Three patients from subgroup 2 died of cardiovascular diseases (they had no cancer progression within 3 months after the completion of chemotherapy).Conclusion. Preventive lymph node dissection in patients with stage Т1–2 tongue cancer enables early detection of subclinical N1–2b metastases and ensures timely initiation of therapy. Our experience confirmed safety of cetuximab plus radiotherapy used to improve disease control and increase patient’s survival.","PeriodicalId":36598,"journal":{"name":"Opuholi Golovy i Sei","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67780739","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}

In August 2017, a girl of 9 years old appeared in the area of the right half of the hard palate. The dentist at the place of residence diagnosed an abscess in the area of the hard palate, performed the lancing and drainage of the “abscess”, prescribed antibiotic therapy. After 3.5 months (in December 2017), hyperemia and an increase in the volume of the mucous membrane reappeared in the same zone. Reapplied to the dentist. The girl was sent to the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department, where the hard palate formation was removed on 23.01.2018; according to histological examination a highly differentiated tumor of the hard palate was diagnosed. The girl was sent for a consultation to the N. N. Blokhin National Medical Research Center of Oncology, where histological preparations were reviewed: a fragment of the mucous membrane of the hard palate covered with squamous epithelium, with the growth of low-grade mucoepidermoid cancer (from the minor salivary glands of the hard palate). A biopsy of the postoperative scar 3 mm long and of the formation of a hard palate 1 mm in diameter was performed; during histological examination of the biopsy material tumor cells were not detected (the material was represented by fibrous tissue). Despite the biopsy results, taking into account the medical history, the results of a review of histological preparations, the rarity and high aggressiveness of the tumor, poor prognosis for relapse, lack of data for regional and distant metastases, at the concilium it was accepted the decision to conduct repeated surgery. In the Surgical Department No. 1 of the Research Institute of Pediatric Oncology and Hematology, N. N. Blokhin National Medical Research Center of Oncology on 13.03.2018 a resection of the hard palate was performed with plastic surgery of the defect with a mixed skin-muscle flap on the vascular pedicle.Conclusion. Mucoepidermoid cancer of the minor salivary glands of the hard palate in children and adolescents can be manifested by the presence of a slowly growing, painless, pale blue tumor. For a correct clinical and morphological diagnosis, a biopsy of the tumor is necessary, further the removal of the tumor is recommended with resection of the hard palate, in view of the high risk of tumor spreading in the thickness of the bone.","PeriodicalId":36598,"journal":{"name":"Opuholi Golovy i Sei","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67780906","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}

The combination of surgery, systemic therapy, whole brain irradiation and local methods of radiation therapy lead to good indicators for controlling the manifestations of the disease in the brain.

The use of aggressive stereotactic radiotherapy regimens leads not only to high local control of irradiated metastases, but also to the risk of so-called radiation necrosis.
