The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between the mutational gene profile and recurrence in biliary tract cancers (BTC). A total of 103 specimens of patients with BTC, who underwent curative surgery in a single tertiary HPB surgery referral center from 1990 to 2012, were assessed for mutational status in 52 cancer-related genes. Considering the different types of BTC, the 5-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) rate was 16.7% (median RFS 7 months) in gallbladder cancer, 42.9% (median RFS 26.4 months) in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, and 19.7% (median RFS 16.5 months) in perihilar cholangiocarcinoma, p = 0.166. At the multivariate analysis including clinical, pathological, and molecular features, the factors independently related to RFS were radicality of surgery (OR 2.050, CI 1.104-3.807, p = 0.023), LN status (OR 1.835, CI 1.006-3.348, p = 0.048), mutational status of ARID1A (OR 2.566, CI 1.174-5.608, p = 0.018), and TP53 (OR 2.805, CI 4.432-5.496, p = 0.003). ARID1A mutation was associated with a local and systemic recurrence in the 43% and 29% of cases, respectively; and TP53 mutation was associated with a local and systemic recurrence in the 29% and 41% of cases. Moreover, TP53 was most commonly mutated in tumor of patients with early recurrence, p = 0.044. ARID1A and TP53 mutations seem to be related to poor outcome after surgery and may be considered molecular predictors of the biological aggressiveness in BTC.

Background And Purpose: Recommended treatment of urothelial muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is cisplatin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) followed by cystectomy, but there are challenges with low utilization of NAC. We aimed to evaluate the utilization of NAC, perioperative complications and oncological efficacy in a real-world setting.

Patients And Methods: All patients operated with radical cystectomy at the University Hospital of North Norway during 2011-2021 for MIBC were included.

Purpose: Treatment outcomes of locally advanced rectal cancer have improved significantly in recent decades. This retrospective study aimed to assess the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) followed by surgery in patients with T4 rectal cancer and the different outcomes between T4a and T4b patients.

Materials And Methods: A total of 60 clinically T4 rectal cancer patients who underwent nCRT were included in the analysis.

Background: This retrospective study explores two radiomics methods combined with other clinical variables for predicting recurrence free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with pulmonary metastases treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT).

Methods: 111 patients with 163 metastases treated with SBRT were included with a median follow-up time of 927 days. First-order radiomic features were extracted using two methods: 2D CT texture analysis (CTTA) using TexRAD software, and a data-driven technique: functional principal components analysis (FPCA) using segmented tumoral and peri-tumoural 3D regions.

Identifying optimal candidates for active surveillance in low-grade intermediate-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.

World J Urol

December 2024

Division of Experimental Oncology, Unit of Urology, Urological Research Institute, IRCCS Ospedale San Raffaele, Via Olgettina, 60, 20132, Milan, Italy.

Objective: The intermediate-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (IR-NMIBC) prognostic group is heterogeneous. Growing evidence supports the role of active surveillance (AS) for patients with low-risk NMIBC, however, no clear data exists considering IR-NMIBC. The aim of the study was to assess the risk of recurrence of patients eligible for AS based on the International Bladder Cancer Group (IBCG) stratification.
