Background and Objective: Anastrazole is an aromatase inhibitor used widely in therapy of breast cancer and has been metabolized by CYP3A4 and UGT1A4 in liver. Breast cancer is the most common cancer type in worldwide and the second causes of death after lung cancer and the one of therapy that use in its treatment is aromatase inhibiter, anastrazole has been indicated CYP3A1 and UGT1A4 are the main metabolizing enzyme, so the interindividual variation in anastrazole response are due to polymorphism of these gene. We have aimed to determine whether CYP3A4*22 and UGT1A4*2 single nucleotide polymorphisms can have affected on the response of anastrazole. 1.2. Method: 100 Iraqi females with hormone positive breast cancer were included in this study. patients were genotyped for SNPs in the CYP3A1 and UGT1A4 genes to research for response to anastrazole thought measured serum level of estradiol (E2) and tumor marker CA15.3. Highly polymorphic CYP3A4*22 (rs35599367) and UGT1A4*2 (rs6755571) were detected with different genotypes in variable percentage in Iraqi breast cancer women. 1.3. Results: For rs35599367 found that the wild genotype(GG) and for rs6755571 the mutant genotype (TT) were most abounded in 100 breast cancer women and also (AA) another mutant genotype of rs6755571 detected but in low percent.

It’s a heterogeneous group of lymphoid and/or plasmocytic proliferations as a result of immunosuppression and is frequently associated with Epstein-Barr Virus. The clinical presentation is nonspecific and highly variable depending on the localization. We discuss the therapeutic challenges in this rare case of a male suffering PTLD with esophageal involvement complicated by an esophagotracheal fistula. 1.2 Case Report: A 55-year-old man under immunosuppression after kidney transplantation, presented with progressive cough and fever after elective upper endoscopy. Following the diagnosis of diffuse large B cell lymphoma-type PTLD with esophagotracheal fistula. The reduction of immunosuppression was unable to control the progression of disease with involvement of the CNS. Endoscopic repair of the fistula was unsuccessful. The need for surgical repair of the fistula delayed therapy with rituximab by one month. Despite brain radiation therapy, the patient passed away 3.5 months after diagnosis. 1.3 Conclusion: In patients with esophagotracheal fistula both aspiration pneumonia and treatment of the fistula can delay effective treatment of the underlying malignant disease. In patients with PTLD reduction in immunosuppression is the primary treatment strategy, followed by monotherapy with the monoclonal antibody rituximab in the case of incomplete response. Newer therapeutic approaches prefer the sequential treatment with rituximab followed by chemotherapy in case of incomplete response, or consolidation therapy with rituximab in case of complete response. Radiotherapy is recommended in case of CNS involvement.","PeriodicalId":380321,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Clinical and Medical Case Reports","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131555047","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}

Introduction Postinflammatory polyps (PIPs) are non-neoplastic lesions originating from the mucosa after repeated periods of inflammation and ulceration connected with excessive healing processes. This pattern is usually associated with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD), but rarely they can be related to different clinical conditions. PIPs can be classified into: localized, multiple, giant, generalized and filiform polyposis (FP). FP is characterized by numerous finger‑like inflammatory polyps, lined by normal colonic mucosa. If they reach up to 100 mm forming bridges and tumor-like mass, they can be defined Giant Polyposis (GP). To date, FP has not the tumoral transforming potentiality. 1.2. Results The first presented case is a 52-year-old man with a past clinical history of Ulcerative Colitis (UC) who underwent rectosigmoidoscopy for distal sigmoid obstruction and an Hartmann’s procedure was performed; the histological findings suggested a pattern consistent with an active fase of UC with a lumen obstruent FP. The other patient is a 40-year-old man who suffered from colonic substenotic episodes; the colonscopy revealed an increase in number and dimension of mucosal polyps with bridge formation. The patient underwent resection of ileum and recto-sigmoid junction with an ileocolic anastomosis T-T; the surgical specimen showed a large polypous tumor-like mass with finger-like projections with non-specific inflammatory changes and without epithelial dysplasia or neoplastic lesion. 1.3. Conclusions This short case series points out how eterogenous the presentation of FP could be: there is no certain link between IBD and FP; in addiction, these polyps can form in a generalized condition of bowel inflammation.","PeriodicalId":380321,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Clinical and Medical Case Reports","volume":"152 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121716202","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}
