Small size of the renal mass can be associated with low metastatic potential, which might question the necessity of thoracic imaging in this patient population. This study sought to evaluate the association of thoracic imaging findings with the renal mass characteristics in patients with pathologically proven renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Materials and Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of patients with RCC, who underwent radical/partial nephrectomy and had baseline thoracic imaging available for review. Patients with a suspicious pulmonary mass were evaluated by the Department of Thoracic Surgery. Presence of lung nodule(s) and metastasis was determined and compared with patient and renal mass characteristics. Results: A total of 215 patients were included in the study. Pulmonary nodules suspicious for malignancy were present in 26.8% of the cases and 42% of these patients underwent further examination for the presence of a pulmonary mass. Pathological examination of the pulmonary nodule revealed RCC metastasis in 80% of patients who underwent biopsy or excision of the pulmonary nodule. Of note, in the subgroup analysis according to the pathological stage of the renal mass, 19.3% of patients with pT1a disease had a suspicious pulmonary mass on thoracic imaging. Of these patients, 25% underwent further examination of the pulmonary nodule with a RCC metastasis in 66.6%. Conclusion: The presence of suspicious lung nodules in patients with RCC has metastatic potential regardless of the size of the renal mass. These findings underscore the importance of baseline thoracic imaging and vigilant further evaluation of patients in whom pulmonary nodules are identified.","PeriodicalId":40816,"journal":{"name":"Uroonkoloji Bulteni-Bulletin of Urooncology","volume":"15 1","pages":"90-93"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2016-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70977567","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}

Bu derlemede kastrasyona duyarlı metastatik prostat kanserinde başlangıç tedavisi olarak kemohormonal tedaviye ait çalışmaların gözden geçirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. CHAARTED çalışmasının yeni bulguları, AYT ile birlikte uygulanan dosetaksel tedavisinin genel sağkalımı sadece AYT’ye oranla anlamlı olarak arttırdığını ve bu etkinin özellikle yüksek volümlü metastatik hastalığa sahip hastalarda 17 aylık medyan genel sağkalım artışı şeklinde izlendiğini göstermektedir. GETUG çalışmasında ise; genel sağkalım açısından her iki grup arasında fark saptanmamıştır ancak biyokimyasal progresyonsuz sağkalımda ve klinik progresyonsuz sağkalımda kombinasyon tedavisi lehine anlamlı artış izlenmiştir. Metastatik prostat kanseri tanısı alan hastalarda başlangıç tedavisi olarak kemoterapi ve AYT kombinasyon tedavisinin uygulanması, özellikle “yüksek volümlü” hastalığa sahip olan hasta grubunda ümit verici gözükmektedir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Metastatik prostat kanseri, kemoterapi, hormonal tedavi, kombinasyon In recent years, studies have been reported about the combination of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and different chemotherapy modalities as the initial therapy in newly-diagnosed patients with hormone-sensitive metastatic prostate cancer and recently, possible effects of docataxel chemotherapy in combination with ADT was evaluated in the 2 multi-institutional randomized trials from North America (CHAARTED) and Europe (GETUG-AFU-15). We reviewed the data for the current use of chemo-hormonal therapy as the initial treatment modality in castration-sensitive metastatic prostate cancer. New findings of CHAARTED trial showed that combination of ADT with docetaxel chemotherapy conferred a significant median over-all survival benefit over ADT alone and patients with high-volume disease derived a 17-month gain in median over-all survival. However in GETUG trial, while no over-all survival benefit was observed between two groups however combination therapy was associated with an improvement in biochemical and clinical progression-free survivals. The combination of docetaxel-based chemotherapy with ADT as the initial treatment seems as a promising treatment alternative in patients with hormone-sensitive metastatic prostate cancer, especially in patients with “high-volume” disease.","PeriodicalId":40816,"journal":{"name":"Uroonkoloji Bulteni-Bulletin of Urooncology","volume":"15 1","pages":"65-68"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2016-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70974794","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}
