Routine Systematic Sampling vs. Selective Targeted Sampling of lymph nodes during mediastinal staging: A feasibility randomized controlled trialSullivan, Kerrie Ann January 2020 (has links)
Background: The standard of care for mediastinal staging during endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) is Systematic Sampling (SS) where a minimum of 3 lymph node (LN) stations are biopsied, even if they appear normal on imaging. When LNs appear normal on PET and CT, the Canada Lymph Node Score can also identify if they appear normal on EBUS. For these Triple Normal LNs, the pretest probability of malignancy is < 6%, and routine biopsy may not be required. This preliminary study introduced Selective Targeted Sampling (STS), which omits biopsy of Triple Normal LNs and compared it firsthand to SS.
Methods: A prospective, feasibility RCT was conducted to determine whether the progression of a definitive trial was warranted. Primary outcomes and their progression criterium were recruitment rate (70% acceptable minimum); procedure length (no overlap between sampling methods’ 95%CIs); and missed nodal metastasis (overlap between sampling methods’ diagnostic accuracy 95%CIs and crossing of the null for the percent difference in diagnosis). cN0-N1 NSCLC patients undergoing EBUS were randomized to the STS or SS arm. Patients in the STS arm were then crossed over to the SS arm to receive standard of care. Wilson’s CI method and McNemar’s test of paired proportions were used for statistical comparison. Surgical pathology was the reference standard.
Results: Thirty-eight patients met the eligibility criteria, and all were recruited (100%; 95%CI: 90.82 to 100.00%). The median procedure lengths, in minutes, for STS and SS were 3.07 (95%CI: 2.33 to 5.52) and 19.07 (95%CI: 15.34 to 20.05) respectively. STS had a diagnostic accuracy of 100% (95%CI: 74.65% to 100.00%), whereas SS was 93.75% (95%CI: 67.71% to 99.67%) with the inclusion of inconclusive results. Percent difference in diagnosis between sampling method was 5.35% (95%CI: -0.54% to 11.25%).
Conclusion: With the progression criteria successfully met, a subsequent multicentered, non-inferiority crossover trial comparing STS to SS is warranted. / Thesis / Master of Science (MSc) / Before deciding on treatment for patients with lung cancer, a critical step in the investigations is finding out whether the lymph nodes in the chest contain cancer. This is best done with a needle that biopsies those lymph nodes through the walls of the airway, known as endobronchial ultrasound transbronchial needle aspiration. Guidelines require that every lymph node in the chest be biopsied through a process called Systematic Sampling. However, new research has suggested that some lymph nodes may not need a biopsy. These lymph nodes are ones with a very low chance of cancer, based on their imaging tests. In this study, Selective Targeted Sampling was introduced whereby lymph nodes that appeared normal were not initially biopsied. The study followed a feasibility design, which proved sufficient patient interest, adequate safety and possible benefits in pursuing a larger trial comparing Selective Targeted Sampling to Systematic Sampling.

Non-Invasive Immunogram. A Multidimensional Approach to Characterize and Monitor Immune Status in Non-Small Cell Lung CancerMoreno Manuel, Andrea 22 April 2025 (has links)
[ES] El cáncer de pulmón no microcítico (CPNM) representa un 80% de los casos de cáncer de pulmón, siendo uno de los tipos de cáncer más frecuentes y mortales. El tratamiento con inmunoterapia ha mejorado significativamente el pronóstico de los pacientes en las últimas décadas. No obstante, no todos los pacientes responden al tratamiento, por lo que se necesitan nuevos biomarcadores para predecir qué pacientes se podrían beneficiar de la inmunoterapia.
El principal objetivo de esta tesis es obtener nuevos biomarcadores no invasivos para pacientes de CPNM avanzado tratados con inmunoterapia.
Se incluyeron 52 pacientes de CPNM en estadios avanzados tratados con anti-PD1 o anti-PD1 en combinación con quimioterapia (anti-PD1+CT) en primera línea. Se analizaron biomarcadores no invasivos en muestras de sangre periférica, obtenidas antes del tratamiento y en la primera evaluación de respuesta. Los biomarcadores analizados en este estudio fueron: i) parámetros hematológicos e inmunológicos, ii) expresión de genes inmunoreguladores en células mononucleares de sangre periférica (PBMCs), iii) repertorio de TCR-ß y iv) genotipo de HLA.
También se analizaron 13 controles sanos, y se observó que los pacientes con CPNM presentaron menores niveles de expresión de genes relacionados con las células T. Además, los pacientes con CPNM tenían menor número de clones de TCR-ß.
Se analizó el valor predictivo y pronóstico de los potenciales biomarcadores independientemente en pacientes tratados con anti-PD1 o anti-PD+CT. Se encontraron biomarcadores con valor pronóstico, bien en las muestras basales o en las muestras tomadas en la primera evaluación de respuesta. Al utilizar muestras no invasivas, también se pudo estudiar la dinámica de los biomarcadores a lo largo del tratamiento, observando que algunos cambios ocurrían de manera diferencial en pacientes respondedores o dependiendo del tratamiento.
La integración de los datos de las variables analizadas ha resultado en una propuesta de un modelo multivariante capaz de predecir qué pacientes tendrán mejor pronóstico, en el subgrupo de pacientes tratados con anti-PD1. Además, se crearon dos inmunogramas no invasivos incluyendo los ratios de los biomarcadores entre muestras tomadas antes y durante el tratamiento. Estos modelos se realizaron específicamente para cada tipo de tratamiento, y podrían ser útiles para monitorizar la respuesta durante el tratamiento.
Este estudio resalta el papel de la biopsia líquida como una herramienta no invasiva para analizar biomarcadores de forma integral que permiten caracterizar y monitorizar el estatus inmune en pacientes con CPNM tratados con inmunoterapia o quimioinmunoterapia. / [CA] El càncer de pulmó no microcític (CPNM) representa un 80% dels casos de càncer de pulmó, i és un dels tipus de càncer més freqüents i mortals. El tractament amb immunoteràpia ha millorat significativament el pronòstic dels pacients en les últimes dècades. Malgrat això, no tots el pacients responen, per la qual cosa es necessiten nous biomarcadors per predir què pacients es beneficiaran del tractament amb immunoteràpia.
El principal objectiu d'aquesta tesi és obtindre nous biomarcadors no invasius per a pacients de CPNM avançat tractats amb immunoteràpia.
Es van incloure 52 pacients de CPNM en estadis avançats tractats amb anti-PD1 o anti-PD1 en combinació amb quimioteràpia (anti-PD1+CT) en primera línia. Es van analitzar biomarcadors no invasius a partir de mostres de sang perifèrica, que es van obtindre abans del tractament i en la primera avaluació de resposta. Els potencials biomarcadors analitzats en aquest estudi van ser: i) paràmetres hematològics i immunològics, ii) expressió de gens immunoreguladors en cèl·lules mononuclears de sang perifèrica (PBMCs), iii) repertori de TCR-ß i iv) genotip d'HLA.
També es van analitzar 13 controls sans, i es va observar que els pacients amb CPNM presentaven menors nivells d'expressió de gens relacionats amb les cèl·lules T. A més, els pacients amb CPNM tenien menor riquesa de repertori de TCR-ß.
S'han analitzat el valor predictiu i pronòstic dels potencials biomarcadors independentment en pacients tractats amb anti-PD1 o anti-PD1+CT. S'han trobat biomarcadors amb valor pronòstic, bé en les mostres basals o en les mostres preses en la primera avaluació de resposta. Com s'han utilitzat mostres no invasives, també s'ha pogut analitzar la dinàmica dels biomarcadores al llarg del tractament, i s'han observat canvis específics de pacients responedors o del tipus de tractament.
La integració de les variables analitzades ha resultat en una proposta d'un model multivariant capaç de predir quins pacients amb CPNM tindran millor pronòstic, en el subgrup de pacients tractats amb anti-PD1. També s'han fet dos immunograms no invasius incloent els ràtios dels biomarcadors entre mostres preses abans i durant el tractament. Aquests models son específics per a cada tipus de tractament, i podrien ser útils per a monitorar la resposta durant el tractament.
Aquest estudi ressalta el paper de la biòpsia líquida com una eina no invasiva per a analitzar biomarcadors de forma integral que permeten caracteritzar i monitorar l'estatus immune en pacients amb CPNM tractats amb immunoteràpia o quimioimmunoteràpia. / [EN] Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) represents 80% of lung cancer cases, being one of the most frequent and death causing cancers. Recently developed treatments with immunotherapy have improved patient prognosis. However, a significant number of patients do not respond to treatment, thus there is an urgent need for biomarkers to predict which patients will benefit from immunotherapy.
The main objective of this thesis was to obtain novel non-invasive biomarkers for advanced-stage NSCLC patients treated with immunotherapy.
This study included 52 advanced-stage NSCLC patients treated with Anti-PD1 or Anti-PD1 in combination with chemotherapy (Anti-PD1+CT) in the first line setting. Non-invasive biomarkers were analysed using peripheral blood samples, which were obtained before first cycle and at first response assessment. The potential biomarkers analysed in this study were: i) haematological and immunological parameters, ii) immune-related gene expression analysed on Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs), iii) TCR-ß repertoire, and iv) HLA genotype. 13 healthy subjects were also included in this study. NSCLC patients presented lower T cell related gene expression levels than controls. Furthermore, cancer patients had a lower number of unique TCR-ß clones.
We have assessed the predictive and prognostic value of the analysed variables independently on patients treated with anti-PD1 or anti-PD1+CT. We found prognostic biomarkers that could be useful to identify patients who benefit from treatment. Since we used non-invasive samples, we also observed differences in immune-related biomarkers at first response assessment in patients responding to treatment. In addition, biomarker dynamics were useful to identify changes occurring throughout treatment.
The integration of data from the analysed variables has resulted in a proposal of a multivariate model capable of predicting patients with improved outcomes to treatment with anti PD1 therapy. Moreover, we have developed two non-invasive inmunograms including the ratios of on- and pre-treatment samples, which could be useful to monitor patients throughout treatment.
Altogether, this study highlights the role of non-invasive biomarkers to characterize and monitor immune status in NSCLC patients treated with immunotherapy or chemoimmunotherapy. / This Thesis was supported by the following grants: Fundación Científica Asociación Española Contra el Cáncer.

Διερεύνηση του ρόλου του υποδοχέα του επιδερμικού αυξητικού παράγοντα και του Notch στο μη μικροκυτταρικό καρκίνο του πνεύμοναΚοτσιρίλου, Δήμητρα 11 October 2013 (has links)
Είναι ευρέως αποδεκτό και καλά τεκμηριωμένο ότι ο υποδοχέας του επιδερμικού αυξητικού παράγοντα (epidermal growth factor receptor, EGFR) ελέγχει σημαντικές λειτουργίες των καρκινικών κυττάρων, όπως τον πολλαπλασιασμό και την απόπτωση, αλλά και διαδικασίες όπου συμμετέχουν περισσότεροι του ενός τύποι κυττάρων, όπως τη διήθηση και την αγγειογένεση. Μεταξύ των τύπων καρκίνου, στην ανάπτυξη των οποίων συμμετέχει ο EGFR, είναι και ο μη μικροκυτταρικός καρκίνος του πνεύμονα (ΜΜΚΠ). Πολύ πρόσφατα δεδομένα δείχνουν ότι ένα άλλο μόριο που εμπλέκεται στην ανάπτυξη του καρκίνου του πνεύμονα είναι το Notch. Ο ρόλος του είναι περίπλοκος και διττός: Έχει προταθεί ότι το Notch επάγει την ανάπτυξη του ΜΜΚΠ και αναστέλλει την ανάπτυξη του μικροκυτταρικού καρκίνου του πνεύμονα (ΜΚΠ). Επιπλέον, έχει βρεθεί ότι το μονοπάτι μεταγωγής σήματος του Notch επηρεάζει, αλλά και επηρεάζεται από άλλα μόρια. Στην παρούσα μεταπτυχιακή εργασία διερευνήθηκε ο ρόλος του EGFR και του Notch στην ανάπτυξη κυττάρων ΜΜΚΠ χρησιμοποιώντας τον προσδέτη του EGFR, EGF και τον αναστολέα της γ-σεκρετάσης DAPT.
Για τη διεξαγωγή των πειραμάτων χρησιμοποιήθηκαν οι ανθρώπινες καρκινικές κυτταρικές σειρές ΜΜΚΠ Η23, Α549, Η661 και ΗCC827. Οι κυτταρικές σειρές Η23, Α549 και Η661 εκφράζουν τον αγρίου τύπου (wild type, wt) EGFR και η κυτταρική σειρά HCC827 εκφράζει EGFR που φέρει τη μετάλλαξη (mutation) (DE746- A750). Αρχικά με ανάλυση κατά western μελετήθηκε το προφίλ των κυττάρων ως προς τα επίπεδα έκφρασης του ενδοκυττάριου τμήματος του Notch (Notch Intracellular Domain, NICD). Βρέθηκε ότι τα κύτταρα Η23 εκφράζουν τα υψηλότερα επίπεδα Notch ICD, τα κύτταρα Η661 και HCC827 μέτρια επίπεδα και τα κύτταρα Α549 τα χαμηλότερα. Στη συνέχεια με τη μέθοδο του ΜΤΤ έγινε έλεγχος του DAPT στον πολλαπλασιασμό των κυττάρων και βρέθηκε ότι τα κύτταρα Η661 είχαν τη μεγαλύτερη αναστολή, παρόμοια συμπεριφορά έδειξαν και τα Α549. Τα κύτταρα Η23 εμφάνισαν μικρότερη ανταπόκριση σε σχέση με τα Η661 ενώ τα κύτταρα HCC827 εμφανίστηκαν ανθεκτικά στο DAPT. Η ανασταλτική δράση του DAPT στα κύτταρα Η661 συνοδεύτηκε με επαγωγή της απόπτωσης η οποία προσδιορίστηκε με τη μέθοδο αννεξίνης V καθώς και με επαγωγή της αυτοφαγίας η οποία ανιχνεύτηκε κάνοντας ανάλυση κατά western για τα πρωτεϊνικά επίπεδα της beclin-1. Περαιτέρω τα κύτταρα ενεργοποιήθηκαν με EGF και εν συνεχεία προστέθηκε DAPT. Παρατηρήθηκε ότι στα κύτταρα Η23 η προσθήκη του EGF δεν επέτρεψε να δράσει ανασταλτικά το DAPT ενώ στα Η661 εν μέρει ο EGF αντέστρεψε την ανασταλτική δράση του DAPT. Επιλέγοντας τις κυτταρικές σειρές Η23 και Η661, μελετήθηκε η δράση του DAPT και του EGF στα επίπεδα του Notch ICD. Παρατηρήθηκε ότι στα κύτταρα Η23, το DAPT μείωσε με χρονοεξαρτώμενο τρόπο τα πρωτεϊνικά επίπεδα του Notch ICD μέχρι και 6 ώρες μετά την προσθήκη του στα κύτταρα ενώ 24 ώρες μετά το φαινόμενο αντιστράφηκε. Η προσθήκη του EGF δεν επηρέασε τα επίπεδα του Notch ICD σε καμία από τις χρονικές στιγμές που μελετήθηκαν. Στα Η661 κύτταρα το DAPT προκάλεσε χρονοεξαρτώμενη μείωση των επιπέδων Notch ICD η οποία διήρκησε μέχρι και 24 ώρες μετά τη προσθήκη του DAPT. Ο EGF όπως και προηγουμένως δεν επηρέασε τα επίπεδα του Notch ICD. Παρατηρώντας ότι στα Η661 το DAPT ασκεί δράση με μεγαλύτερη διάρκεια σε σχέση με τα κύτταρα Η23, τα κύτταρα Η661 ενεργοποιήθηκαν με EGF και στη συνέχεια προστέθηκε το DAPT προκειμένου να δούμε τη δράση του συνδυασμού στα επίπεδα του Notch ICD. Βρέθηκε ότι ο EGF αντέστρεψε την μείωση των Notch ICD επιπέδων που προκαλεί μόνο του το DAPT.
Τα αποτελέσματα αναδεικνύουν ότι τα μονοπάτια του EGFR και του Notch, συνηγορούν προς την ίδια κατεύθυνση για τη μείωση του όγκου και αυτό υποδηλώνει έναν ελκυστικό δρόμο συνδυαστικών προσεγγίσεων για τη θεραπεία του ΜΜΚΠ, που μπορεί να ενισχύσει τη δράση των ανασταλτικών παραγόντων του EGFR σε όγκους.
Συμπερασματικά, θα μπορούσαμε να υποθέσουμε ότι στο ΜΜΚΠ: α) τα δύο μονοπάτια EGFR και Notch συνεπικουρούν για την ανάπτυξη του όγκου, β) η αναστολή του Notch είναι πιο αποτελεσματική σε κύτταρα με ενδιάμεσα επίπεδα ενεργού Notch 1, προκαλώντας τόσο απόπτωση όσο και αυτοφαγία, και γ) η μετάλλαξη του EGFR προσφέρει αντίσταση στη δράση αναστολέα της γ-σεκρετάσης. / It is widely accepted and well established that the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) controls important processes of tumor cells, such as proliferation and apoptosis, but also processes involving more than one type of cells such as invasion and angiogenesis. It has been found that the EGFR has an important role in the development of several types of cancer including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Very recent data indicate that another molecule, which is involved in the development of lung cancer, is Notch. Its role is complicated and is under investigation. It is suspected that Notch has a growth promoting function in NSCLC, whereas exerts an inhibitory effect in small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Furthermore it has been found that the signaling pathway of Notch can affect/ can be affected by other molecules. This thesis investigated the role of EGFR and Notch in cell growth of NSCLC cells using the ligand of EGFR, EGF and gamma-secretase inhibitor, DAPT.
To conduct the experiments the human NSCLC cell lines H23, A549, H661 and HCC827 were used. The cell lines H23, A549 and H661 express the wild type (wt) EGFR and the cell line HCC827 expresses EGFR bearing the mutation (mt) DE746-A750. Initially, we studied the profile of NSCLC cells regarding the protein levels of Notch intracellular domain (Notch ICD) using western blot analysis. It was found that H23 cells express the higher levels Notch ICD, H661 and HCC827 cells express intermediate levels and A549 cells express the lowest levels of Notch ICD. The next step was the evaluation of DAPT effect in cell proliferation using the MTT assay. We found that DAPT caused the greatest inhibition to H661 and A549 cells. DAPT was less effective to H23 cells while had no effect to HCC827 cells. The inhibitory effect of DAPT in H661 cells was in line with the induction of apoptosis and autophagy, as was detected using annexin V assay and western blot analysis for beclin-1, respectively. Furthermore, cells were stimulated with EGF and subsequently DAPT was added. We found that the stimulatory effect of EGF was not reversed by DAPT in H23 cells. However a partial reverse of EGF stimulation was observed in H661 cells. The next step was to study the effect of DAPT and EGF at Notch ICD protein levels, in H23 and H661 cells. We found that DAPT reduced the protein levels of Notch ICD in H23 cells, with a time-dependent manner, up to 6 hours after DAPT addition and this effect reversed 24 hour later. The addition of EGF did not affect the levels of Notch ICD at any time point tested. In H661 cells, DAPT caused a time-dependent reduction of Notch ICD protein levels up to 24 hours after DAPT addition to cells. EGF as previously, did not affect the levels of Notch ICD in these cells. Since DAPT was more effective to H661 cells, these cells stimulated with EGF and then DAPT was added in order to study the effect of the combination at the levels of Notch ICD. We found that EGF reversed the decrease of Notch ICD protein levels caused by DAPT alone.
These results indicate that the pathways of EGFR and Notch might act with a synergistic fashion and this could be an attractive approach for the treatment of NSCLC.
Summarizing our results, we might assume that in NSCLC: a) both pathways of EGFR and Notch exert a significant role in tumor growth, b) the inhibition of Notch is more effective in cells with intermediate levels of activated Notch 1, causing both apoptosis and autophagy, and c) the EGFR mutation confers resistance to the effect of γ- secretase inhibitor.

Etude des mécanismes de résistances primaire et acquise aux inhibiteurs du récepteur de l’Epidermal Growth Factor dans le cancer bronchique non à petites cellules / Mechanisms of primary and acquired resistance to Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors in Non-Small Cell Lung CancerCortot, Alexis 21 December 2010 (has links)
Les inhibiteurs de tyrosine kinase (ITK) du récepteur à l’Epidermal Growth Factor (EGFR) constituent un nouveau traitement du cancer bronchique non à petites cellules (CBNPC), particulièrement efficace chez les patients porteurs d’une mutation d’EGFR (EGFR M+). Néanmoins, certains de ces patients peuvent avoir une résistance primaire à ces traitements, et les autres développent inéluctablement une rechute correspondant au phénomène de résistance acquise. L’objectif de ce travail était d’étudier les mécanismes de résistances primaire et acquise chez les patients avec CBNPC EGFR M+.Nous avons montré que le statut mutationnel de KRAS était le même dans la tumeur primitive et les métastases dans la majorité des cas de CBNPC. Dans quelques cas cependant, le statut différait entre tumeur primitive et métastase, ce qui soulève la question d’une dissociation de la réponse aux ITK, les mutations de KRAS étant associées à une résistance primaire au traitement.Nous avons par ailleurs mis en évidence la fréquente inactivation de la voie p53, soit par mutation de TP53 soit par diminution d’expression de p14arf, dans les tumeurs EGFR M+, qui pourrait être une des causes des variations de réponse aux ITK chez les patients EGFR M+. Enfin, nous avons montré que la résistance à deux ITK de nouvelle génération, PF299804 et WZ4002, passait par un phénomène en deux étapes impliquant d’une part l’activation de la voie IGF1R, via la diminution de l’expression d’IGFBP3, et d’autre part celle de la voie des MAP kinases. Ces travaux pourraient déboucher sur des stratégies thérapeutiques innovantes chez les patients présentant une résistance acquise aux ITK de nouvelle génération. / Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKI) provide clinical efficacy in Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) patients, especially in the presence of an EGFR mutation. However, some EGFR mutated patients display primary resistance to EGFR TKI, and the others will ultimately develop acquired resistance. We focused our work on mechanisms of primary and acquired resistance in EGFR mutated NSCLC.We first showed that KRAS mutational status is the same in primary NSCLC and matched metastases in most of the cases. However, in some patients, we found a discordant KRAS status between primary tumors and metastases, which could translate into a discordant response to EGFR TKI, since KRAS mutations are associated with resistance to EGFR TKI.We also showed that EGFR mutated tumors are associated in most of the cases with an inactivation of the p53 pathway, either through a TP53 mutation or through loss of expression of p14arf, which could account for some of the variations observed in the response to TKI in EGFR mutated patients.Last, we showed that acquired resistance to two new generation EGFR TKI, PF299804 and WZ4002, occurred through a multistep process involving activation of the IGF1R pathway through downregulation of IGFBP3 and activation of the MAP kinase pathway. These results provide new insights into the treatment of NSCLC in EGFR mutated patients with acquired resistance to new generation TKI.

Stratégies diagnostiques et qualité de vie en oncologie bronchopulmonaire - Programme d'évaluation de la TEP dans l'inter-région Grand-Est / Diagnostic strategies and quality of life in pulmonary oncology an evaluation program of PET implantation in the Northeastern Regions of FranceLemonnier, Irawati 17 January 2011 (has links)
Introduction : L'installation de caméras de Tomographie à Emission de Positons (TEP) a eu lieu en 2003 dans l'inter région Grand-Est de la France. Plusieurs études ont montré ses performances diagnostiques et ses bénéfices en évitant: des interventions de chirurgie exploratrice devenue inutile (thoracotomie aux séquelles douloureuses, laparotomie exploratrice), et certains examens complémentaires d'imagerie ou d'exploration fonctionnelle inutile. Objectifs : 1) évaluer le changement des stratégies diagnostiques du Nodule Pulmonaire Isolé (NPI) et du Cancer du Poumon Non à Petites Cellules (CPNPC) induit par l'implantation de la TEP dans l'inter - région Grand - Est de la France ; 2) mesurer l'impact du changement sur la qualité de vie des patients atteints d'un NPI et d'un CPNPC ; et 3) étudier le rôle pronostique de la QV sur la survie des patients atteint d'un CPNPC.Méthodes : Etude prospective multicentrique constituant 2 cohortes « Avant (2001 - 2002) » et « Après (2004 - 2005) » de l'implantation de la TEP. Ont été recueillis : les caractéristiques sociodémographiques des patients, clinique du NPI et du CPNPC, les examens diagnostiques et traitements réalisés jusqu'à 6 mois après la fin du bilan. Deux auto-questionnaires de QV (SF36 et QLQ C-30) ont été distribués à 3 et 6 mois après la fin du bilan diagnostique.Résultats : 1) Nous avons observé une diminution du nombre d'examens réalisés au cours du bilan diagnostique d'un NPI de 4 examens en phase avant à 3 en moyenne en phase après. Néanmoins, la fréquence des examens invasifs jugés évitables a posteriori pratiqués chez les patients ayant un NPI bénin n'était pas différente (47% phase avant versus 49% phase après). Un an après son installation, la TEP a été utilisée chez 11% des patients. 2) Les patients atteints d'un NPI et quelque soit sa nature, maligne ou bénigne, ont eu un score moyen de QV plus bas (-8 à -32 points, p<0.001) que celui mesuré dans la population générale française indépendamment du sexe et de l'âge. Les scores QV des patients ayant un NPI bénin se révélaient être statistiquement plus élevés que ceux des patients ayant un NPI malin, notamment dans les dimensions « fonctionnement social », « rôle physique » et « rôle émotionnel » (+10, +14 et +18 points respectivement, p=0,02 à 0,04).3) Les bons scores en fonctionnement physique en SF-36 (HR=0.78 ; IC=0.68 - 0.90 ; p<0.001), et en la limitation due à l?état physique en QLQ-C30 (HR=0.53 ; IC=0.59 - 0.89 ; p=0.003) indiquant une bonne perception des patients sur leurs fonctionnement physique sont liés à une meilleure survie. Les symptômes élevés de constipation (HR=1.18 ; IC=1.005-1.38 ; p=0.04) en QLQ-C30, par contre, est lié à une mauvaise survie. Le sexe féminin est lié à une meilleure survie (HR=0.55 ; IC=0,33 - 0,94 ; p=0,04). Cependant, le stade III et IV du CPNPC est associé à une mauvaise probabilité de survie (HR=1,72 ; IC=1,16 - 2,57 ; p=0,007).Discussion/conclusion : Les stratégies diagnostiques du NPI ont changé. L'impact de cette maladie, mesuré de façon subjective par la qualité de vie (QV) des patients peut indiquer certains domaines essentiels à améliorer dans sa prise en charge car une meilleure QV en oncologie broncho-pulmonaire est associée à une meilleure survie / Background: The Positron Emission Tomography was installed in 2003 in the North-eastern region of France. Previous studies showed its diagnostic performance and its benefices in avoiding: surgical exploratory interventions proved to be unnecessary a posteriori (for example, thoracotomy or laparotomy with painful consequences), and certain complementary imaging tests or unnecessary functional explorations. Objectives : 1) to evaluate changes in diagnostic strategies of Solitary Pulmonary Nodule (SPN) and Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) induced by the implantation of PET in the Northeastern region of France ; 2) to mesure the impact of these changes on the health related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients with SPN and NSCLC; and 3) to study the prognostic role of the HRQoL on the survival of patients with NSCLC.Methodes: An observational, prospective, multi-center design was applied. Two cohorts « Before (2001 - 2002) - After (2004 - 2005) » the PET implantation in the regions were settled up. Data collected included: patients' socio-demographic and clinical characteristics, the diagnostic tests and then treatments that were carried out during 6 months after the end of the diagnostic process. Two HRQoL questionnaires (the generic questionnaire SF-36 and the cancer specific one QLQ-C30) were distributed at 3 and 6 months after the end of the diagnostic process.Results:1) The number of diagnostic tests of patients with SPN decreased significantly from a mean of 4 in the before-PET to 3 tests in the after-PET period. Meanwhile, there was not any difference of the frequency of invasive tests considered unnecessary aposteriori for patients with benign SPN (47% before-PET versus 49% after-PET period). One year after its installation, the PET was used in 11 % of diagnostic strategies. In 7.7% of cases it was used after the bronchoscopy. 2) A comparison of the QoL with that of the French general population revealed that patients with SPN, whatever the diagnosis, benign or malignant, had worse mean scores (-8 to -32 points, p<0.001) compared to the general population with similar age and sex. A difference of 24, 30 and 32 points were observed in the "physical functioning", "emotional role" and "physical role" (p<0.001). The scores of patients with benign nodule were higher than those of malignant, especially on "social functioning", "physical role", and "emotional role" (+10, +14 and +18 points respectively, p=0.02 to 0.04). 3) Good scores on "physical functioning" of SF-36 (HR=0.78; CI=0.68 - 0.90; p<0.001) as well as "role functioning" of QLQ-C30 (HR=0.53; CI=0.59 - 0.89; p=0.003) were related to a better survival. Higher symptoms of constipation (HR=1.18; CI=1.005-1.38; p=0.04) in QLQ-C30 were associated to a worse one. While being a woman was associated to a better survival (HR=0.55 ; CI=0,33 - 0,94 ; p=0,04), the stage III and IV of the NSCLC was related to a lower one (HR=1,72 ; CI=1,16 ? 2,57 ; p=0,007) .Conclusion: The diagnostic strategies of SPN changed after PET was available for medical practice. This study showed the negative impact of SPN to patients' HRQoL. It indicates the domains in which health practitioners could interfere in order to improve the management of these diseases, because this study confirmed previous studies in pulmonary oncology, that patients' QoL is related to the survival

Avaliação da atividade do CHY-1, um novo análogo da miltefosina, como potencial inibidor da enzima CTP: fosfoetanolamina-citidilil-transferase, sobre o carcinoma de pulmão de não-pequenas células. / Evaluation of the activity of CHY-1, a novel miltefosine analogue, as a potential CTP: phosphoethanolamine cytidylyltransferase enzyme inhibitor against non-small cell lung cancer.Teixeira, Sarah Fernandes 18 August 2016 (has links)
O câncer de pulmão é um dos mais incidentes e letais, e, assim, a busca de novos fármacos é necessária. Atualmente o desenvolvimento de fármacos conta com abordagens computacionais que otimizam este processo. Dado que a fosfatidiletanolamina desempenha importantes papeis fisiológicos e uma das enzimas envolvidas na sua síntese, a CTP:fosfoetanolamina-citidilil-transferase (Pcyt2) é frequentemente superexpressa em células de câncer de pulmão, no presente trabalho, foram avaliados o potencial terapêutico de CHY-1, um análogo da miltefosina desenvolvido como inibidor da enzima Pcyt2, e os mecanismos inerentes à sua atividade antitumoral. O CHY-1 apresentou citotoxicidade superior ao seu protótipo e a outro inibidor da enzima Pcyt2, a meclizina. Além disso, as células malignas foram mais sensíveis ao CHY-1 do que as células não-tumorigênicas. Em conclusão, o presente trabalho evidencia o potencial do CHY-1 como um inibidor da enzima Pcyt2 e candidato a fármaco com atividade preferencial para câncer de pulmão. / Lung cancer is one of the most incident and lethal cancers, thus, the pursuit for new drugs is necessary. Nowadays, new drugs development has computational tools that improves this process. Once that phosphatidylethanolamine plays several important physiological roles and one of the enzymes of its production pathway, CTP:phosphoethanolamine cytidylyltransferase (Pcyt2), is usually overexpressed in lung cancer cells, therefore, this study aimed was to evaluate the antitumor effects of CHY-1, a miltefosine analogue developed as an inhibitor of Pcyt2 enzyme, and to investigate the mechanisms related to its antitumor action. CHY-1 was more cytotoxicity than its prototype, miltefosine, and was more cytotoxic than another inhibitor Pcyt2 enzyme, meclizine. Morevover, malignant cells were more sensitive to CHY-1 effects than non-tumorigenic cells. In conclusion, this work presents CHY-1 as an inhibitor of Pcyt2 enzyme and new candidate a drug with preferential activity on NSCLC cells.

Charakterisierung von in vivo Modellen des humanen nicht-kleinzelligen Lungenkarzinoms zur TherapieoptimierungRolff, Jana 29 May 2012 (has links)
Das Bronchialkarzinom ist die häufigste Todesursache bei den Krebserkrankungen und weist eine schlechte Prognose auf. Die Behandlung besteht aus einer Chemotherapie mit platinbasierten Medikamenten, doch der Erfolg ist unbefriedigend. In den letzten Jahren wurden zielgerichtete Therapien gegen Proteine wie den EGFR entwickelt. Klinische Studien zeigten, dass nur Subpopulationen von den Medikamenten Erlotinib und Cetuximab profitieren. Eine bessere (Vor-)Selektion der Patienten ist wünschenswert, um unnötige Behandlungen zu vermeiden. Für diese Analysen bedarf es relevanter präklinischer Modelle. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurden 25 Xenograftmodelle des Lungenkarzinoms vergleichend charakterisiert. Ein Schwerpunkt bestand im Vergleich der Xenografts mit ihren Patiententumoren. Die Analyse der Histologie, der Proliferationsmarker als auch der Genexpressionsprofile fand übereinstimmende Ergebnisse in den Patiententumoren und ihren abgeleiteten Xenografts. Mit Hilfe von mRNA-, Protein- und SNP-Profilen ressistenzassoziierter Marker der Chemotherapie konnte die Bedeutung der Modelle zur Charakterisierung von prädiktiven und prognostischen Markern aufklärt werden. Diese Arbeit untersuchte auch Marker der anti-EGFR-Therapien. mRNA- und Proteinprofile der ERBB-Rezeptoren sowie der Liganden wurden erstellt und stimmten mit publizierten klinischen Daten überein. Genexpressionsstudien in Erlotinib Respondern und Non-Respondern zur Therapieoptimierung identifizierten den Wachstumsfaktor VEGFA als Ziel für eine Kombinationsbehandlung mit dem Angiogeneseinhibitor Bevacizumab. Die Kombination von Bevacizumab mit Erlotinib führte zu einem reduzierten Tumorwachstum. Die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit machten deutlich, dass die individuellen Tumoreigenschaften in den patientenabgleiteten Xenografts auf Gen- und Proteinebene erhalten bleiben und diese als Modelle zur Markeranalyse sowie zur Therapieoptimierung eingesetzt werden können. / Lung cancer is still one of the most frequent cancers worldwide. The treatment option is classical chemotherapy that is based upon the combination of platin-based drugs. But no further improvement seems to be possible. For some years targeted drugs against single proteins like the EGFR were developed. The clinical trials showed that only subpopulations of patients benefit from the treatment. A better selection of patients to avoid treatment would be helpful. Therefore, pre-clinical models that are suitable for analysis and that represent clinical populations of patients are required. In this work 25 patient derived xenografts from lung cancer were intensely studied. First, the xenografts were compared with their corresponding patient tumor. The analysis of the histology and the expression of proliferation and epithelial or mesenchymal markers showed concordance of the patient tumor and the derived xenograft. The gene expression profiles were also maintained. Further analysis should elucidate the relevance of the xenografts as models for the characterisation and validation of predictive and prognostic markers. SNP, mRNA and protein expression profiles of resistance markers for chemotherapy were generated and showed similarities with clinical data. As marker for the anti-EGFR targeted therapies the ERBB receptors and the ligands of the EGFR were analysed. The mRNA and protein expression profiles resemble clinical data sets. An optimisation of the therapy should be achieved with gene expression studies. The vascular endothelial growth factor A was identified for a combination treatment with the anti-angiogenic drug bevacizumab in erlotinib resistant tumors. The combination of erlotinib and bevacizumab reduced the tumor growth in selected models. In summary, the analysis could show that the individual characteristics of the patient tumor were maintained in the xenograft. The models are a reliable tool for studies designed to improve treatment strategies.
