Recovery surgery for extracapsular extension of squamous cell cancer metastasizing to the lymph nodes in the neck

Metastatic neck lymph nodes in massive lesion of their tissue with tumor cells are accompanied by extracapsular extension to the adjacent structures in a number of cases. The greatest problem in clinical oncology is when even extended radical neck dissection fails to completely remove tumor tissue that is macroscopically detectable after surgical resection. In this situation, there is a continued growth of tissue mass that is left on the neck. Thus, the unresectable extracapsular spread of neck lymph node metastases to the adjacent tissues reduces the duration of life in the patients and worsens its quality.The basis for this investigation is clinical observations of patients who have been operated on at the Nizhny Novgorod Regional Clinical Oncology Dispensary (Hospital Two) in the period 2005 to 2016. Histologically, the tumors were squamous cell carcinomas. In this period, there have been 24 Crile operations (radical neck dissection) that are cytoreductive. A primary tumor has been (n = 15) or has not been (n = 9) previously excised. The extracapsular spread of metastatic lymph nodes corresponded to levels IIa, IIb, and III. Cytoreductive cervical lymphadenectomy with the pectoralis musculocutaneous flap covering an unresectable tumor for extracapsular unresectable squamous cell carcinoma metastasizing to the neck lymph nodes should be considered the operation of recovery. This type of surgery is warranted, as tumor mass reduction by eliminating the source of intoxication allows further antitumor treatment (radiotherapy or chemotherapy or their combination) that is contraindicated in patients with tumor lysis in the neck. When the cause of death is the exceedingly continued growth of an unresectable component of radio- and chemoresistant variants of tumor tissue on the neck, the covering of the component with a pectoralis major flap delays a fatal outcome in incurable patients to improve a number of quality-of-life indicators

Эффективность и безопасность комбинации ленватиниба и эверолимуса у больных диссеминированным раком почки, прогрессирующим на фоне антиангиогенной т аргетной терапии: результаты российского многоцентрового наблюдательного исследования ROSLERCM

Objective: an assessment of efficacy and safety of lenvatinib in combination with everolimus in unselected patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) progressed during or following ≥1 line of antiangiogenic targeted therapy.Material. Russian multicenter observational study ROSLERCM included 73 consecutive patients with morphologically verified mRCC progressed during or following ≥1 line of antiangiogenic targeted therapy, treated with lenvatinib (18 mg/d) and everolimus (5 mg/d) in 20 Russian centers. Median age of the patients was 59 (23–73) years, a male-to-female ratio – 3:1. Most common histological type of kidney cancer was clear-cell RCC (71 (95.8 %)). More than 2 lines of previous therapy were administered in 45 (61.6 %) cases. Most patients were diagnosed with multiple metastases (71 (97.3 %)) in >1 site (61 (83.6 %)). Nephrectomy was performed in 87.7 % (64/73) of cases. At the combined therapy start ECOG PS 2–4 was registered in 16 (20.5 %), poor prognosis according to IMDC score – in 33 (45.2 %) patients. Median follow-up was 9.7 (1–26) months.Results. Median progression-free survival achieved 16.9 (95 % confidence intervals (CI) 12.1–20.6), overall survival – 20.8 (95 % CI 15.7–25.9) months. Objective response rate was 11 % (8/73); tumor control was reached in 93.2 % (68/73) of cases. Median objective response duration was 10.5 (4.3–16.8) months, tumor control duration – 10.0 (2.5–17.5) months. Any adverse events developed in 83.6 % (61/73), adverse events grade III–V – in 23.3 % (17/73) of cases. Most frequent AE grade III–IV were diarrhea (10 (13.6 %)) and arterial hypertension (6 (8.2 %)). Unacceptable toxicity demanded treatment cancellation in 4.2 % (3/73), therapy interruption – in 30.1 % (22/73) and dose reduction – in 32.9 % (24/73) of patients.Conclusion. Unselected mRCC patients administered with combined targeted therapy in the real world practice were registered with similar survival, lower objective response rate, and better tolerability comparing with population assigned for lenvatinib plus everolimus in the randomized phase II trial.Цель – оценка эффективности и безопасности комбинации ленватиниба и эверолимуса в российской популяции неотобранных больных распространенным раком почки, прогрессирующим на фоне или после не менее 1 линии антиангиогенной таргетной терапии.Методы. В российское многоцентровое наблюдательное исследование ROSLERCM последовательно включены 73 больных верифицированным диссеминированным раком почки, прогрессирующим на фоне или после ≥1 линии антиангиогенной терапии, получавших ленватиниб (18 мг / сут) с эверолимусом (5 мг / сут) в 20 клинических центрах России. Медиана возраста – 59 лет (23– 73 года), соотношение мужчин и женщин – 3:1. Доминирующим гистологическим типом опухоли был светлоклеточный вариант (71 (95,8 %)). Более 2 линий терапии ранее получали 45 (61,6 %) больных. На момент старта комбинированной таргетной терапии соматический статус ECOG PS 2–4 имел место у 16 (20,5 %), к группе плохого прогноза IMDC относились 33 (45,2 %)больных. В большинстве случаев метастазы были множественными (71 (97,3 %)) и локализовались более чем в 1 органе 61 (83,6 %). Первичная опухоль была удалена у большинства (64 (87,7 %)) пациентов. Медиана наблюдения – 9,7 мес (1–26) мес.Результаты. Медиана беспрогрессивной выживаемости достигла 16,9 (95 % доверительный интервал 12,1–20,6), ОВ – 20,8 (95 % ДИ 15,7–25,9) мес. Частота объективных ответов на лечение составила 11 % (8/73), (медиана длительности – 10,5 (4,3–16,8) мес), контроля над опухолью – 93,2 % (68/73) (медиана длительности – 10,0 (2,5–17,5) месяца). Нежелательные явления развились у 83,6 % (61 / 73) пациентов и достигли III–V степеней тяжести в 23,3 % (17 / 73) случаев. Наиболее частыми нежелательными явлениями III–IV степеней тяжести были диарея (10 (13,6 %)) и артериальная гипертензия (6 (8,2 %)). Непереносимая токсичность послужила поводом для отмены комбинированной таргетной терапии в 4,2 % (3 / 73), перерыва в лечении – в 30,1 % (22 / 73) и редукции дозы ленватиниба – в 32,9 % (24 / 73) случаев.Заключение. У неотобранных больных, получающих лечение в широкой клинической практике, зарегистрирована сопоставимая выживаемость, более низкая частота объективных ответов и лучшая переносимость терапии ленватинибом с эверолимусом по сравнению с результатами регистрационного исследования
