    Absztrakt: Bevezetés: A tumor-nodus-metastasis (TNM) alapú stádiumbesorolás új, nyolcadik változata a hagyományos T, N és M kategóriákon alapuló anatómiai stádium mellett egy biomarkereket figyelembe vevő prognosztikai stádiumot is definiált emlőrákban. Célkitűzés: A nyolcadik stádiumbesorolásban figyelembe vett prognosztikus változók, valamint az anatómiai és prognosztikai stádiumok megoszlásának vizsgálata elhunyt, de korábban emlőrákkal diagnosztizált beteganyagban a teljes túlélés alapján. Módszer: Retrospektív vizsgálatunkba a 2010 és 2015 között a Bács-Kiskun Megyei Kórházban műtött, reszekciós mintából kórismézett, dokumentált okok miatt elhunyt emlőrákos betegeket vontuk be. A prognosztikus markerek adatait a betegek kórszövettani leleteiből nyertük. Statisztikai modelljeink az egyutas ANOVA, a Dunn-féle post hoc teszt, valamint a Kaplan–Meier-analízis voltak. Eredmények: 303 beteg adatait vizsgálva a legtöbb prognosztikus tényezőben, így az anatómiai és prognosztikai stádiumok vonatkozásában is, szignifikáns különbséget találtunk a tumoros halálozás (n = 168) és a nem tumoros halálozás (n = 135) csoportja között. Ugyancsak szignifikáns különbségeket tudtunk kimutatni egyes pT- és pN-kategóriák, gradusok, ösztrogénreceptor-státuszok között az ötéves teljes túlélés alapján. Vizsgálatunk eredményei szerint az I. és II. stádium kivételével, valamennyi további anatómiai és prognosztikai stádium különbözik a többitől túlélés tekintetében (p<0,001). Kiemelendő, hogy az egységes IV. stádiumú betegségben is adódott túlélésbeli különbség az ösztrogénreceptor-, progeszteronreceptor- és HER2-státuszok alapján determinált betegcsoportok között: a tripla negatív és ösztrogénreceptor-pozitív, HER2-negatív tumorok túlélése ebben a stádiumban is különbözött. Következtetések: Valós túlélési adatokon alapuló elemzésünk szerint az újszerű prognosztikai stádiumok a korábbi anatómiai stádiumokhoz hasonlóan elkülönítik a betegeket teljes túlélésük szerint. Eredményeink validálják az új prognosztikai stádiumbesorolást, de előre is mutatnak a jelenleg egységes IV. stádium tagolása irányában.

Aim: To retrospectively assess stage influencing prognostic variables; and the anatomic and prognostic stages on the basis of the overall survival (OS) of a cohort of deceased patients once diagnosed with breast cancer. Method: We included patients with known causes of death certified at the Bács-Kiskun County Teaching Hospital and having a history of breast cancer diagnosed on a resection specimen at the same institution. Prognostic factors were obtained from the histopathological reports. Statistics included one-way ANOVA, Dunn’s post hoc test and Kaplan-Meier curve analyses. Results: The 303 patients grouped as breast cancer related death (n = 168) or unrelated (n = 135) showed significant differences in most stage defining prognostic factors and the anatomic and prognostic stages. Significant differences in 5-year OS were observed between pT and pN categories, histological grades and estrogen receptor statuses. Except for stages I and II, significant differences were found between both different anatomic and prognostic stages (p<0.001). Stage IV is by definition uniform, but we identified survival differences between biomarker based subgroups: triple negative carcinomas had worse OS than estrogen receptor positive and HER2 negative carcinomas. Conclusions: Our analysis based on real survival data suggests that the prognostic stages separate patients according to OS similarly to the anatomic stages. The results validate the prognostic stages, but also suggest that separating stage IV disease according to biomarkers makes sense. Orv Hetil. 2017; 158(35): 1373–1381

    A rövidbél-szindróma korszerű sebészi kezelése: autológ rekonstrukció és intestinalis rehabilitáció = Autologous reconstructive surgery and intestinal rehabilitation in the management of short bowel syndrome

    Absztrakt: A legújabb definíció szerint rövidbél-szindrómának nevezzük a bél jelentős hosszának elvesztése után kialakuló elégtelen bélműködés tünetegyüttesét, melyben a homeostasis és fejlődés-növekedés csak a hiányzó víz és elektrolit, illetve makrotápanyagok parenteralis pótlásával tartható fenn. A rövid bélben lezajló lassú természetes adaptációs folyamat a veszteséget csak bizonyos mértékben képes kompenzálni. Ennek megfelelően megkülönböztetünk (1) akut, (2) elhúzódó és (3) krónikus típust. A kórkép a leggyakrabban gyermekkorban jelentkezik nekrotizáló enterocolitis, malrotatio, volvulus, hasfalzáródási rendellenesség és ilealis atresia következményeként. A legnagyobb kihívást a krónikus típus ellátása okozza, bár a multidiszciplináris szemléletnek köszönhetően folyamatosan javul a betegek hosszú távú túlélése és életminősége, béltranszplantációra egyre ritkábban van szükség. A szerzők célja az intestinalis rehabilitáció legfontosabb szempontjainak – fokozott gasztrinszekréció, „high-output” stoma, csökkent tranzitidő, a centrális vénás kanülök ápolása, az enteralis, illetve parenteralis táplálás és az adaptáció serkentése – összegzése mellett a legújabb sebészi kezelési lehetőségek, köztük az autológ intestinalis rekonstrukció (AIRS) módszereinek, a passzázslassításnak (az ileocoecalis billentyű pótlása), a „bélhosszabbítás”-nak (LILT, STEP, SILT) és a felszívófelszínt növelő eljárásoknak (kontrollált bélexpanzió) az áttekintése volt. Ezeken túl a szerzők érintik a jelenlegi kutatások (disztrakciós enterogenezis, ’tissue engineering’) legújabb eredményeit. Orv Hetil. 2020; 161(7): 243–251. | Abstract: Based on the latest definition, short bowel syndrome is defined as intestinal failure due to the loss of significant small bowel length or function, when the homeostasis and growth can only be maintained with intravenous supplementation of fluid, electrolytes and macronutrients. The natural adaptation of the short bowel can only compensate for the loss up to a certain level. According to this, we differentiate (1) acute, (2) prolonged and (3) chronic types of intestinal failure/short bowel syndrome. The most common causes are necrotising enterocolits, intestinal malrotation and volvulus, gastroschisis and ileal atresia. The management of type 3 short bowel syndrome has evolved significantly during the last decades, due to the multidisciplinary approach, hence the survival and quality of life of the patients have improved and transplantation is rarely necessary. Our aim was to review the most important considerations of intestinal rehabilitation, like management of increased gastrin secretion, high output stoma, decreased transit time, central venous lines, enteral and parenteral nutrition and the enhancement of the natural adaptation. We reviewed the former and the latest options of the autologous intestinal reconstructive surgery (AIRS) like the reversed segment, small bowel interposition, ileocaecal valve replacement, bowel lengthening and tailoring (LILT, STEP and SILT), controlled bowel expansion and the latest results with distraction enterogenesis and tissue engineering.

    TRPS1 expression in cytokeratin 5 expressing triple negative breast cancers, its value as a marker of breast origin

    Get PDF
    The lack of oestrogen receptor, progesterone receptor and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 expression in breast cancer (BC) is the basis for the categorization of the tumour as triple negative breast carcinoma (TNBC). The majority of TNBCs are aggressive tumours with common metastases and decreased expression of markers that could help in identifying the metastatic lesion as of mammary origin. Breast markers, such as gross cystic disease fluid protein-15 (GCDPF-15), GATA binding protein 3 (GATA3), mammaglobin (MGB) and SOX10, are not uniquely specific to BC. Our aim was to evaluate trichorhinophalangeal syndrome type 1 (TRPS1) protein as a breast marker in a series of cytokeratin-5-expressing TNBC, mostly corresponding to basal-like TNBCs, previously characterized for the expression of other breast markers. One hundred seventeen TNBCs in tissue microarrays were immunostained for TRPS1. The cut-off for positivity was ≥ 10%. The reproducibility of this classification was also assessed. TRPS1 positivity was detected in 92/117 (79%) cases, and this exceeded the expression of previously tested markers like SOX10 82 (70%), GATA3 11 (9%), MGB 10 (9%) and GCDFP-15 7 (6%). Of the 25 TRPS1-negative cases, 11 were positive with SOX10, whereas 5 to 6 dual negatives displayed positivity for the other makers. The evaluation showed substantial agreement. Of the five markers compared, TRPS1 seems the most sensitive marker for the mammary origin of CK5-expressing TNBCs. Cases that are negative are most often labelled with SOX10, and the remainder may still demonstrate positivity for any of the 3 other markers. TRPS1 has a place in breast marker panels

    Proposal of a grading system for squamous cell carcinoma of the lung — the prognostic importance of tumour budding, single cell invasion, and nuclear diameter

    The prognostic markers of lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) are less investigated. The aim of our study was to evaluate tumour budding (TB), minimal cell nest size, nuclear diameter (ND), and spread through air spaces (STAS) among patients with resected LSCC, semi-quantitatively. Furthermore, we aimed to identify a grading system for the best prognostic stratification of LSCC. Patients who underwent surgical resection at the Department of Surgery, University of Szeged between 2010 and 2016 were included. Follow-up data were collected from medical charts. Morphological characteristics were recorded from histologic revision of slides. Kaplan-Meier analysis, log rank test and Cox proportional-hazards model, ROC curve analysis, and intraclass correlation were utilised. Altogether 220 patients were included. In univariate analysis, higher degree of TB, infiltrative tumour border, larger ND, the presence of single cell invasion (SCI) and STAS were associated with adverse prognosis. Based on our results, we proposed an easily applicable grading scheme focusing on TB, ND, and SCI. In multivariate analysis, the proposed grading system (p OS< 0.001, p RFS< 0.001) and STAS (p OS= 0.008, p RFS< 0.001) were independent prognosticators. Compared to the previously introduced grading systems, ROC curve analysis revealed that the proposed grade had the highest AUC values (AUCOS: 0.83, AUCRFS: 0.78). Each category of the proposed grading system has good (ICC: 0.79–0.88) reproducibility. We validated the prognostic impact of TB, SCI, ND, and STAS in LSCC. We recommend a reproducible grading system combining TB, SCI, and ND for proper prognostic stratification of LSCC patients. Further research is required for validation of this grading scheme. © 2023, The Author(s)

    The More Extensive the Spread through Air Spaces, the Worse the Prognosis Is: Semi-Quantitative Evaluation of Spread through Air Spaces in Pulmonary Adenocarcinomas

    Introduction: The extent of spread through air spaces (STAS) is less investigated among patients with lung adenocarcinoma who underwent sublobar resection. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the extent of STAS semi-quantitatively, to assess its prognostic impact on overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS), and to investigate the reproducibility of this assessment. Methods: The number of tumour cell clusters and single tumour cells within air spaces was recorded in three different most prominent areas (200x field of view). The extent of STAS was categorized into three groups, and the presence of free tumour cluster (FTC) was recorded. Results: Sixty-one patients were included. Recurrence was more frequent with higher grade (p = 0.003), presence of lymphovascular invasion (p = 0.027), and presence of STAS of any extent (p = 0.007). In multivariate analysis, presence of FTC (HR: 5.89; 95% CI: 1.63-21.26; p = 0.005) and more pronounced STAS (HR: 7.46; 95% CI: 1.60-34.6; p = 0.01) had adverse impact on OS and RFS, respectively. Concerning reproducibility, excellent agreement was found among STAS parameters (ICC range: 0.92-0.94). Discussion: More extensive STAS is an unfavourable prognostic factor in adenocarcinomas treated with sublobar resection. As the evaluation of extent of STAS is reproducible, further investigation is required to gather more evidence
