The International Serous Fluid Cytopathology Reporting System (TISRSFC) was proposed in 2020 to standardize cytological reports and include information on perceived risk of malignancy in reports. It is necessary to analyze the use of TISRSFC to determine the principles of rational practical implementation and possible improvement of this classification. AIMS: to assess the possibility and results of the application of TISRSFC (2020) in the cytodiagnosis of pleural effusions in the organizational technologies and resource provision of a regional oncological dispensary. MATERIALS AND METHODS. An observational, crossover, retrospective, crossover study. A comparative analysis of cytological analyzes of pleural effusion with clinical and anamnestic information, histological, immunohistochemical results of 1507 patients. The microscope slide were prepared by the traditional smear method, as well as by liquid cytology. preparations were stained by Papanicolaou and Pappenheim methods. The immunocytochemical tests were performed if necessary. RESULTS: The following cytological reports corresponding to the TISRSFC categories were formulated: non-diagnostic material (C I) - 11 (0.7%), absence of malignant tumor cells (C II) - 946 (62.8%), atypia of unknown significance (C III) - 61 (4.0%), suspicion of a malignant process (C IV) - 13 (0.9%), malignant process (C V) - 476 (31.6%). There were 37 (7.8%) cases of the primary tumor - mesothelioma, 398 (83.6%) cases of metastatic tumors, including 41 (8.6%) cases of non-epithelial tumors in category C V. Immunocytochemical tests of pleural fluid were performed in 273 (18.1%) cases. Risk of malignancy (ROM) was 9.1% (1/11) for C I; 1.2% (11/946) for C II; 59.0% (36/61) for C III; 84.6% (11/13) for C IV and 100% (476/476) for C V.

Materials and Methods: This study included 40 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of progression of low-malignant glial brain tumors, who underwent inpatient treatment at the Chelyabinsk oncology center from 2007 to 2022. The ratio of men and women: 1:1.5. The mean age was 45.6 11.5 years. Patients with grade I astrocytomas predominated (n=23), oligodendroglioma was diagnosed in 8 patients. Reoperation was performed in 11 patients as the first stage of progression treatment. In 7 cases, monochemotherapy with temozolomide was performed. Repeated radiation therapy was performed in 29 patients, of which: 9 patients received a course of combined photon-neutron therapy ; 9 people stereotactic radiation therapy was performed on the CyberKnife device; in 11 cases - external beam radiation therapy . Results: The median overall survival (OS) for all patients with continued growth of low-grade cerebral gliomas after treatment was 120 months. 1-year OS - 97.3%; 3-year-old - 86.8%; 5-year-old - 78.2%. Median OS after relapse treatment was 36 months. The median OS was higher in the age group under 50 compared to the older age group: 120 and 95 months. (p0.05). The best results of treatment were noted in patients who underwent reoperation followed by a course of radiation therapy or chemotherapy with temozolomide for 48 months. and 36 months. respectively (p0.05).

Conclusion: Thus, the optimal approach to the treatment of patients with continued growth of primary low-grade glioma brain tumors is to perform a second operation, followed by radiation therapy or chemotherapy.

L-asparaginase, the enzyme that hydrolyzes asparagine, has long been included in the treatment regimens for acute lymphoblastic leukemia and other hematological malignancies more than 50 years ago, but its use for the treatment of solid tumors is still extremely limited. This review analyzes experimental data on the sensitivity of cell lines and xenografts of solid tumors to L-asparaginase, examines the results of clinical trials. Among the mechanisms of the cytotoxic effect of L-asparaginase on tumor cells, such processes as depletion of aspartic and glutamic acids, influence on the internal and external pathways of apoptosis, inhibition of cellular processes through a decrease in the activity of the mTOR protein, and weakening of the expression of the telomerase gene are discussed. Separately, molecular markers are considered, which can be used to suggest the effectiveness of future therapy with L-asparaginase in solid tumors. These markers include 1) expression levels of asparagine synthetase and glutamine synthetase genes, 2) degree of methylation of the ASNS promoter region, 3) PTEN protein activity and 4) autophagy, 5) bone marrow environment of tumor cells, 6) expression of genes associated with asparaginase resistance, such as the 1 opioid receptor gene and the huntingtin-associated protein 1 gene.","PeriodicalId":509207,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Oncology","volume":"46 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139180834","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}
