Computed tomography in the evaluation of tumor regression after neoadjuvant therapy: X-ray surgery and X-ray morphological comparisons

An analysis was made of chest computed tomograms of 38 small-cell lung cancer patients subjected to radical surgical treatment after neoadjuvant therapy. CT data were compared with the findings of macro- and microscopic examination of surgical specimens. In 24 (63.2%) patients, computed tomograms made before surgery showed complete tumor response confirmed by gross examination in 22 (96.1%) of them. However, microscopic examination found cancer cells in 8 (33.3%) patients. In 2 (8.3%) patients, small residual tumors could be detected by sight, which was confirmed by pathological examination. In 14 (36.8%) patients with partial response, radiological and gross examination findings fully coincided. Nevertheless, in 2 (14.3%) cases the "residual tumor" appeared to be a segment of fibrocicatrical tissue under pathological examination. On the basis of the CT findings the values of diagnostic sensitivity, accuracy and specificity in tumor response evaluation were calculated which made up 87.5%, 68.4% and 54.5% respectively. With sufficiently high sensitivity, CT specificity is low. CT makes it possible to objectively define the response of small-cell lung cancer to neoadjuvant therapy. However, the conclusion about complete response to the treatment can be made only on the basis of a comprehensive evaluation of the results of all available investigation methods and pathological examination.     

Isolated skeletal muscle metastasis following successful treatment of laryngeal cancer: case report

Skeletal muscle metastases from tumors are a rare occurrence and can present difficult management decisions. We report here on a patient that had been previously treated for squamous cell laryngeal cancer with surgical resection and adjuvant systemic chemotherapy that presented with a metastasis to the rectus abdominis muscle without evidence of recurrent disease at the primary site. After a metastatic workup with PET/CT scan suggested this to be an isolated lesion, surgical excision with negative margins was performed based upon limited treatment options secondary to the location of the tumor and his favorable prognosis suggested by his pathological staging at the time of the initial resection. Here we discuss the incidence of distant metastases from laryngeal cancer and appropriate screening methods. Additionally, skeletal muscle metastases and treatment considerations are discussed.

Lung Cancer Screening with Computer Aided Detection Chest Radiography: Design and Results of a Randomized,Controlled Trial

Introduction

The sensitivity of CT based lung cancer screening for the detection of early lung cancer is balanced by the high number of benign lung nodules identified, the unknown consequences of radiation from the test, and the potential costs of a CT based screening program. CAD chest radiography may improve the sensitivity of standard chest radiography while minimizing the risks of CT based screening.

Methods

Study subjects were age 40–75 years with 10+ pack-years of smoking and/or an additional risk for developing lung cancer. Subjects were randomized to receive a PA view chest radiograph or placebo control (went through the process of being imaged but were not imaged). Images were reviewed first without then with the assistance of CAD. Actionable nodules were reported and additional evaluation was tracked. The primary outcome was the rate of developing symptomatic advanced stage lung cancer.

Results

1,424 subjects were enrolled. 710 received a CAD chest radiograph, 29 of whom were found to have an actionable lung nodule on prevalence screening. Of the 15 subjects who had a chest CT performed for additional evaluation, a lung nodule was confirmed in 4, 2 of which represented lung cancer. Both of the cancers were seen by the radiologist unaided and were identified by the CAD chest radiograph. The cumulative incidence of symptomatic advanced lung cancer was 0.42 cases per 100 person-years in the control arm; there were no events in the screening arm.

Conclusions

Further evaluation is necessary to determine if CAD chest radiography has a role as a lung cancer screening tool.ClinicalTrials.gov identifier {"type":"clinical-trial","attrs":{"text":"NCT01663155","term_id":"NCT01663155"}}NCT01663155

How Have We Diagnosed Early-Stage Lung Cancer without Radiographic Screening? A Contemporary Single-Center Experience

Background

The National Lung Screening Trial (NLST), which demonstrated a reduction in lung cancer mortality, may result in widespread computed tomography (CT)-based screening of select populations. How early-stage lung cancer has been diagnosed without screening, and what proportion of these cases would be captured by a screening program modeled on the NLST, is not currently known. We therefore evaluated current patterns of early-stage lung cancer presentation.

Methodology/Principal Findings

We performed a single-institution retrospective analysis of patients diagnosed with stage I–II non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) from 2000–2009. Associations between patient and imaging characteristics were assessed using univariate and multivariate analyses. A total of 412 patients met criteria for analysis. Among those with available reason for initial imaging, the reason was symptoms in 51%, follow-up of other conditions in 43%, and screening in 6%. Reason for imaging was associated with race (P<0.001), insurance type (P = 0.005), and disease stage (P<0.001). Type of initial imaging was associated with reason for imaging (P<0.001), year (chest x-ray 67% in 2000–2004 vs. 49% in 2005–2009; P<0.001), and disease stage (P = 0.005). Among patients with available quantified smoking history, 48% were age 55–74 years and smoked 30-plus pack-years, therefore meeting NLST entry criteria.

Conclusions/Significance

Symptoms remain a dominant but declining reason for detection of early-stage NSCLC. The proportion of cases detected initially by CT scan without antecedent chest x-ray has increased considerably. Because as few as half of cases meet NLST eligibility criteria, clinicians should remain aware of the diverse circumstances of early-stage lung cancer presentation to expedite therapy.     

不同化疗方案联合手术治疗非小细胞肺癌的临床疗效及对患者免疫功能的影响分析

目的:探讨分析不同化疗方案联合手术治疗非小细胞肺癌的临床疗效以及对患者免疫功能的影响。方法:经病理学证实的非小细胞肺癌患者94例,随机数字表法将其分为顺铂组与洛铂组,各47例。2组患者均采取手术治疗,并术前行辅助化疗。其中顺铂组采取紫杉醇+顺铂方案,洛铂组接受紫杉醇+洛铂方案。比较治疗前后2组患者临床疗效及KPS评分,并对Ig A、Ig G、Ig M、CD4+及CD8+指标水平进行分析。结果:洛铂组有效率(CR+PR)为87.2%(41/47),与顺铂组[80.8%(38/47)]差异无统计学意义(P0.05)。洛铂组术后KPS评分及CD4+水平高于顺铂组(P0.05),但CD8+水平低于顺铂组(P0.05),差异有统计学意义;2组患者手术前后Ig A、Ig G及Ig M均无统计学意义(P0.05)。洛铂组毒副反应发生率低于顺铂组(P0.05)。结论:含洛铂术前辅助化疗方案有助于改善非小细胞肺癌患者的免疫功能,降低化疗的毒副反应。     

经支气管针吸活检术对肺癌伴纵隔淋巴结转移的临床诊断价值

Stereotactic radiotherapy for lung oligometastases

30–60% of cancer patients develop lung metastases, mostly from primary tumors in the colon-rectum, lung, head and neck area, breast and kidney. Nowadays, stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT ) is considered the ideal modality for treating pulmonary metastases.When lung metastases are suspected, complete disease staging includes a total body computed tomography (CT ) and/or positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET -CT ) scan. PET -CT has higher specificity and sensitivity than a CT scan when investigating mediastinal lymph nodes, diagnosing a solitary lung lesion and detecting distant metastases. For treatment planning, a multi-detector planning CT scan of the entire chest is usually performed, with or without intravenous contrast media or esophageal lumen opacification, especially when central lesions have to be irradiated. Respiratory management is recommended in lung SRT, taking the breath cycle into account in planning and delivery. For contouring, co-registration and/or matching planning CT and diagnostic images (as provided by contrast enhanced CT or PET-CT ) are useful, particularly for central tumors. Doses and fractionation schedules are heterogeneous, ranging from 33 to 60 Gy in 3–6 fractions. Independently of fractionation schedule, a BED₁₀ > 100 Gy is recommended for high local control rates. Single fraction SRT (ranges 15–30 Gy) is occasionally administered, particularly for small lesions. SRT provides tumor control rates of up to 91% at 3 years, with limited toxicities.The present overview focuses on technical and clinical aspects related to treatment planning, dose constraints, outcome and toxicity of SRT for lung metastases.     

Pulmonary cryptococcosis due to a capsule-deficient strain confused with metastatic lung cancer

A patient with hepatocellular cancer developed pulmonary cryptococcosis due to infection with a capsule-deficient Cryptococcus neoformans. Pulmonary lesions initially diagnosed as metastatic cancer by chest x-ray film and CT scan were subsequently found to be fungal granulomas by autopsy. Although morphologic studies of the fungi were insufficient to render a specific mycologic diagnosis because of the absence of encapsulated yeasts, fluorescent antibody studies confirmed the diagnosis of cryptococcosis. The use of various stains and electron microscopy for the pathological differential diagnosis of cryptococcosis caused by capsule-deficient yeasts is discussed. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Randomization to Screening for Prostate,Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian Cancers and Thyroid Cancer Incidence in Two Large Cancer Screening Trials

Background

Thyroid cancer incidence has increased significantly over the past three decades due, in part, to incidental detection. We examined the association between randomization to screening for lung, prostate, colorectal and/or ovarian cancers and thyroid cancer incidence in two large prospective randomized screening trials.

Methods

We assessed the association between randomization to low-dose helical CT scan versus chest x-ray for lung cancer screening and risk of thyroid cancer in the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST). In the Prostate Lung Colorectal and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial (PLCO), we assessed the association between randomization to regular screening for said cancers versus usual medical care and thyroid cancer risk. Over a median 6 and 11 years of follow-up in NLST and PLCO, respectively, we identified 60 incident and 234 incident thyroid cancer cases. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to calculate the cause specific hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for thyroid cancer.

Results

In NLST, randomization to lung CT scan was associated with a non-significant increase in thyroid cancer risk (HR  = 1.61; 95% CI: 0.96–2.71). This association was stronger during the first 3 years of follow-up, during which participants were actively screened (HR  = 2.19; 95% CI: 1.07–4.47), but not subsequently (HR  = 1.08; 95% CI: 0.49–2.37). In PLCO, randomization to cancer screening compared with usual care was associated with a significant decrease in thyroid cancer risk for men (HR  = 0.61; 95% CI: 0.49–0.95) but not women (HR  = 0.91; 95% CI: 0.66–1.26). Similar results were observed when restricting to papillary thyroid cancer in both NLST and PLCO.

Conclusion

Our study suggests that certain medical encounters, such as those using low-dose helical CT scan for lung cancer screening, may increase the detection of incidental thyroid cancer.
