Análise da expressão do receptor do fator de crescimento epitelial (EGFR) em pacientes portadores de adenocarcinoma pancreático submetidos a tratamento cirúrgico com intuito curativo / EGFR expression in pancreatic cancer patients submitted to surgical resection

Marcos Vinicius Perini 07 January 2010 (has links)
INTRODUÇÃO: O câncer do pâncreas apresenta taxas anuais de mortalidade e incidência muito semelhantes, sendo uma das principais causas de morte por câncer no mundo. A agressividade do tumor e o retardo no seu diagnóstico são considerados responsáveis pela sua alta letalidade. O tratamento adjuvante convencional aumenta pouco a sobrevida a longo prazo e a terapia-alvo pode ser uma alternativa ao tratamento deste tipo de tumor. OBJETIVO: O objetivo do presente estudo é avaliar a expressão do receptor do fator de crescimento epitelial e seu eventual valor prognóstico em pacientes portadores de adenocarcinoma pancreático submetidos à ressecção cirúrgica. MÉTODO: Foram estudados retrospectivamente 88 pacientes portadores de adenocarcinoma pancreático operados no Serviço de Cirurgia de Vias Biliares e Pâncreas do HC-FMUSP e no Departamento de Cirurgia Abdominal Hospital A.C. Camargo no período de 1990 a 2006. RESULTADOS: Quarenta e sete (53,4%) pacientes do sexo feminino e 41 (46,6%) do masculino com idade mediana de 60 anos. As cirurgias realizadas foram duodenopancreatectomia com preservação do piloro (55,1%), gastroduodenopancreatectomia (34,8%), pancreatectomia corpo-caudal (6,8%) e gastroduodenopancreatectomia total (2,3%). A ressecção venosa portal foi realizada em 12 pacientes (13,5%). O tamanho tumoral médio foi de 3,75cm. Invasão vascular esteve presente em 31% dos casos e neural em 88,5%. A margem de ressecção estava comprometida em 33 pacientes (37,5%). Cinco (5,7%) pacientes eram do estádio IA, 15(17%) do IB, 19(21,6%) do IIA, 47(53,4) do IIB e dois (2,3%) do III.Observou-se diferença na expressão de EGFR na membrana celular entre o tecido tumoral e o tecido não tumoral (p=0,004); entre o tecido metastático linfonodal e o tecido não tumoral (p=0,02) mas não houve diferença quanto à sua expressão quando comparamos o tecido tumoral e o tecido metastático linfonodal (p=0,28). Dentre as variáveis clínicas e patológicas estudadas, observou-se diferença de expressão do EGFR entre os gêneros feminino e masculino (p=0,03), não havendo diferenças entre as outras variáveis. A sobrevida mediana global foi de 22,9 meses. A sobrevida cumulativa global em 1 ano, 3 anos e 5 anos foi de 48%, 20% e 18%, respectivamente. As sobrevidas cumulativas em 1 ano, 3 anos e 5 anos foram 77%, 30% e 8% no grupo sem expressão do EGFR na membrana tumoral versus 46%, 8% e 0% respectivamente no grupo com expressão do EGFR na membrana celular do tumor. Na análise univariada, as seguintes variáveis estiveram associadas a menor sobrevida: sexo masculino, ressecção venosa portal, invasão peri-neural, e vascular, invasão do tecido peri-pancreático, acometimento da margem de ressecção pancreática e expressão positiva de EGFR no tecido tumoral. Na análise multivariada, os fatores associados à sobrevida menor foram: gênero masculino, ressecção venosa portal, invasão vascular e invasão peri-neural. CONCLUSÃO: A expressão do EGFR na membrana celular é significativamente maior no tecido tumoral que no tecido pancreático não tumoral. A expressão do EGFR na membrana celular do tecido tumoral está associada a pior prognóstico (menor sobrevida). / INTRODUCTION: Pancreatic cancer is one of the main cancer related deaths in the world and its incidence is similar to its mortality. Biological aggressiveness and delayed diagnosis are a major concern. Adjuvant treatment has little impact on survival and the expression of potential target molecules has been undertaken in order to increase survival. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study is to study the expression of EGFR and its potential prognostic role in tumor, non-tumor and metastatic lymph node tissues of patient with pancreatic adenocarcinoma treated with surgical resection. MATHERIAL AND METHODS: Eighty eight patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma operated at Serviço de Cirurgia de Vias Biliares e Pâncreas do HC-FMUSP and Departamento de Cirurgia Abdominal do Hospital A.C.Camargo were retrospectively studied between 1990 and 2003. RESULTS: Forty seven females (53,4%) and 41 males (46,6%) with median age of 60 years were studied. Pylorus preserving duodenopancreatectomy was performed in 55%, classical duodenopancreatectomy in 34,8%, distal pancreatectomy in 6,8% and total pancreatectomy in 2,3%. Portal vein resection was performed in 12 patients (13,5%). Mean tumor size was 3,75cm. Vascular and neural invasion were present in 31% and 88,5%, respectively. Positive surgical margin was present in 33 (37,5%) patients. Five (5,7%) patients were stage IA, 15(17%) stages IB, 19(21,6%) stages IIA, 47(53,4%) stages IIB and two (2,3%) stages III. There were difference in the membrane expression of EGFR between tumor and non tumor pancreatic tissue (p=0,004); between metastatic lymph node and non tumor pancreatic tissue (p=0,02); but there were no difference between tumor and metastatic lymph node tissue (p=0,28). Median survival time was 22,9 months. Cumulative one, three and five years survival were 48%, 20% and 18%. Cumulative survival at 1, 3 and 5 years were 77%, 30% and 8% in patients with negative expression of EGFR in tumor membrane and 46%, 8% and 0%, respectively in patients with positive EGFR expression in tumoral membrane. Univariate analysis showed that male gender, portal vein resection, neural, vascular and peri-pancreatic invasion invasion, positive surgical margin and positive membrane EGFR expression in tumoral tissue were correlated with poor survival. Multivariate analysis showed that male gender, portal vein resection, vascular invasion and peri-neural invasion are associated with lower survival after resection. CONCLUSION: EGFR membrane expression is different between tumor tissue and non tumor pancreatic tissue. EGFR membrane expression in tumoral tissue was associated with worst survival.

Facteurs pronostiques et thérapeutiques après traitement chirurgical de l'adénocarcinome du pancréas céphalique / Pronostics and therapeutics factors after surgery for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Lubrano, Jean 18 December 2017 (has links)
Le 17 novembre 2016 a eu lieu la 3ème journée mondiale de lutte contre le cancer du pancréas.Cette prise en considération tardive rend compte de la dualité entre une incidence faible et un pronostic redoutable. Sa réputation de cancer rapidement mortel est attestée par un ratio incidence/mortalité proche de 1. Au 10ème rang en termes de localisations de cancers, il se hisse au 4ème rang en termes de mortalité par cancer et devrait devenir, en 2020, la 2ème cause de décès par cancer devant le cancer du côlon et juste après le cancer du poumon. Le taux de survie à 5 ans, tous stades confondus, est de 5% aux USA et en Europe.L’adénocarcinome canalaire pancréatique représente la tumeur la plus fréquente (80% des tumeurs pancréatiques exocrines). Sa localisation dans la glande pancréatique est céphalique dans 2/3 des cas.A ce jour, le traitement chirurgical reste le seul traitement potentiellement curatif. Celui-ci ne s’adresse qu’à une faible proportion de patients. En effet, seul 20% des patients présentant un adénocarcinome pancréatique céphalique sont effectivement résécables permettant d’obtenir un taux de survie globale à 5 ans d'environ 10 à 20% si la résection est suivie de chimiothérapie adjuvante ou non. Ces résultats modestes sont en outre à pondérer par la morbi-mortalité des résections pancréatiques céphaliques. Dans la série de l’Association Française de Chirurgie, reprenant les résections pancréatiques céphaliques réalisées en France entre 2004 et 2010, la mortalité était de 3,8% et la morbidité de 54%. Parmi les complications post-opératoires, la fistule pancréatique représente la principale complication en termes de mortalité (15 à 25%), génératrice de coût important dans les soins et d’une augmentation significative de la durée de séjour. La fistule pancréatique demeure la pierre angulaire de l’amélioration du pronostic des patients.L’objectif de ce travail sur l’adénocarcinome canalaire pancréatique céphalique traité chirurgicalement était d’analyser certains facteurs influençant la morbi-mortalité au trois temps de sa prise en charge :- Avant l’intervention, avec l’étude d’un facteur pronostic préopératoire, sur une cohorte de patients, pouvant influencer la survenue d’une fistule pancréatique et la mortalité- Pendant l’intervention, avec la réalisation d’une méta-analyse sur le type de reconstruction pancréatique et son influence sur la survenue d’une fistule pancréatique- Après l’intervention, avec l’étude de l’influence de la survenue d’une complication sévère sur la survie et la survie sans récidive.Au cours de cette thèse nous avons vu, que la réduction du taux de fistule pancréatique, par le seul biais de techniques peropératoires semble difficilement réalisable au regard de la multiplicité des techniques et de la difficulté à réaliser des études randomisées contrôlées méthodologiquement satisfaisantes. En revanche, la recherche des facteurs liés aux patients, prédisposant à la survenue d’une fistule pancréatique semble l’approche à privilégier. Ceci est d’autant plus primordial dès lors que nous avons mis en évidence un lien entre la survenue d’une complication sévère et la survie ou la récidive chez les patients réséqués. Ce travail souligne l’importance d’être capable d’identifier, dès la consultation, les patients à haut risque de complications sévères et de fistule post-opératoire d’une part, pour sélectionner les bons candidats à la chirurgie et d’autre part, pour être capable de leur apporter une information franche et loyale indispensable éthiquement au consentement éclairé. / The third World Day on pancreatic cancer took place the 17th November 2016. This late consideration is due to the duality between his relative scarcity and a dreadful prognosis.Its aggressiveness is underlined by a mortality rate equal to its incidence. Ranked 10th on cancer-related localization and 4th on cancer-related mortality, he will become the second cause of cancer-related deaths in 2020 just behind pulmonary cancer and before colorectal cancer. 5-yr survival rate is 5% irrespective of the stage.Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is the most frequent form (80% of exocrine pancreatic tumors). He is localized in cephalic pancreas in 2/3 of cases.Although pancreatic resection provides the only chance of long-term survival, no more than 20% of patients will be eligible for surgery in curative intent leading to a 5-yr survival rate of 10 to 20%. Pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic head, neck and uncinated process is still a challenging procedure. In the study of the French Surgery Association, mortality and morbidity rate were respectively 3.8% and 54%. Postoperative pancreatic fistula is considered as the Achilles’ heel of pancreaticoduodenectomy and is associated with increased post-operative mortality. Postoperative pancreatic fistula generates significant costs and prolonged hospital stay. Thus postoperative pancreatic fistula is the corner stone of patient’s prognosis improvement.The aim of this study on operated pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma was to analyze several factors influencing morbidity and mortality.- Before surgery, by testing the impact of body surface area in a cohort of patients.- During surgery, by conducting a meta-analysis on reconstruction methods for pancreatic anastomosis.- After surgery, by evaluating the influence of severe complications on survival and recurrence.We show that the use of various surgical refinements, such as type of pancreatic anastomoses, are equivocal to decrease postoperative pancreatic fistula rate and that performing randomized controlled trials will be difficult. In contrast, the search for patient’s factors leading to postoperative pancreatic fistula seems to be the promising approach. This is of major concern as we demonstrated the causal link between the occurrence of severe postoperative complications and survival or recurrence. This work highlights the need for surgeons to distinguish during preoperative consultation high-risk patients in order to select the best candidates suitable for surgery as well as to give them a full and frank information ethically necessary for free and informed consent.

Wiltberger, Georg, Bucher, Julian Nikolaus, Krenzien, Felix, Benzing, Christian, Atanasov, Georgi, Schmelzle, Moritz, Hau, Hans-Michael, Bartels, Michael January 2016 (has links)
Background: Metastases to the pancreas are rare, accounting for less then 2 % of all pancreatic malignancies. However, both the benefit of extended tumor resection and the ideal oncological approach have not been established for such cases; therefore, we evaluated patients with metastasis to the pancreas who underwent pancreatic resection. Methods: Between 1994 and 2012, 676 patients underwent pancreatic surgery in our institution. We retrospectively reviewed patients’ medical records according to survival, and surgical and non-surgical complications. Student’s t-test and the log-rank test were used for statistical analysis. Results: Eighteen patients (2.7 %) received resection for pancreatic metastases (12 multivisceral resections and 6 standard resections). The pancreatic metastases originated from renal cell carcinoma (n = 10), malignant melanoma (n = 2), neuroendocrine tumor of the ileum (n = 1), sarcoma (n = 1), colon cancer (n = 1), gallbladder cancer (n = 1), gastrointestinal stromal tumor (n = 1), and non-small cell lung cancer (n = 1). The median time between primary malignancy resection to metastasectomy was 83 months (range, 0–228 months). Minor surgical complications (Grade I-IIIa) occurred in six patients (33.3 %) whereas major surgical complications (Grade IIIb-V) occurred in three patients (16.6 %). No patients died during hospitalization. The median follow-up was 76 months (range, 10–165 months). One-year, 3-year and 5-year survival for standard resection versus multivisceral resection was 83, 50, and 56 % versus 83, 66, and 50, respectively. Twelve patients died after a median of 26 months (range, 5–55 months). Conclusions: A surgical approach with curative intent is justified in select patients suffering from metastases to the pancreas and offers good long-term survival. The resection of pancreatic metastases of different tumor types was associated with favorable morbidity and mortality when compared with resection of the primary pancreatic malignancies. Our findings also demonstrated that multivisceral resection was feasible, with acceptable long term outcomes, even though morbidity rates tended to be higher after multivisceral resection than after standard resection.

The Impact of Pancreatic Head Resection on Blood Glucose Homeostasis in Patients with Chronic Pancreatitis

Hempel, Sebastian, Oehme, Florian, Ehehalt, Florian, Solimena, Michele, Kolbinger, Fiona R., Bogner, Andreas, Welsch, Thilo, Weitz, Jürgen, Distler, Marius 16 August 2023 (has links)
Background: Chronic pancreatitis (CP) often leads to recurrent pain as well as exocrine and/or endocrine pancreatic insufficiency. This study aimed to investigate the effect of pancreatic head resections on glucose metabolism in patients with CP. Methods: Patients who underwent pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (PPPD), Whipple procedure (cPD), or duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection (DPPHR) for CP between January 2011 and December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed with regard to markers of pancreatic endocrine function including steady-state beta cell function (%B), insulin resistance (IR), and insulin sensitivity (%S) according to the updated Homeostasis Model Assessment (HOMA2). Results: Out of 141 pancreatic resections for CP, 43 cases including 31 PPPD, 2 cPD and 10 DPPHR, met the inclusion criteria. Preoperatively, six patients (14%) were normoglycemic (NG), 10 patients (23.2%) had impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and 27 patients (62.8%) had diabetes mellitus (DM). In each subgroup, no significant changes were observed for HOMA2-%B (NG: p = 0.57; IGT: p = 0.38; DM: p = 0.1), HOMA2-IR (NG: p = 0.41; IGT: p = 0.61; DM: p = 0.18) or HOMA2-%S (NG: p = 0.44; IGT: p = 0.52; DM: p = 0.51) 3 and 12 months after surgery, respectively. Conclusion: Pancreatic head resections for CP, including DPPHR and pancreatoduodenectomies, do not significantly affect glucose metabolism within a follow-up period of 12 months.

Možnosti rekonstrukce portálního řečiště v rámci chirurgického řešení pokročilého karcinomu pankreatu - experiment na velkém zvířeti / Possibilties of Portal Vein Reconstruction During Surgical Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer - Experiment on a Large Animal

Pálek, Richard January 2021 (has links)
Possibilities of Portal Vein Reconstruction during Surgical Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer - Experiment on a Large Animal Introduction: Pancreatic cancer is a fatal malignancy that is known as one of the leading causes of cancer mortality worldwide. The only potentially curative treatment is radical surgical resection. Because of the lack of early symptoms, the diagnosis is usually made in advanced stages of the disease. In the majority of patients, the tumor is already locally advanced or it has distant metastases at the time of diagnosis. Pancreatic cancer tends to infiltrate the portal vein (PV) or the superior mesenteric vein (SMV). Nowadays, resection of infiltrated parts of PV/SMV is recommended in specialized centers. There are several established techniques of PV/SMV reconstruction. The use of allogeneic venous grafts seems to be a method with minimal risk of adverse effects but there is only limited experience with these grafts. The optimal anatomical origin of allogeneic venous grafts for PV/SMV reconstruction remains unknown. Aims: The aim of this experiment was to compare two types of allogeneic venous grafts used for PV reconstruction in a large animal model of pancreatico- duodenectomy. These grafts were harvested from the systemic venous system (inferior caval vein grafts - IVC grafts) and...
