Epidemiological Characteristics of the Largest Kidney Transplant Program in Mexico: Western National Medical Center, Mexican Institute of Social Security

Background. Non-Hodgkin mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and multiple myeloma (MM) have in common that they are neoplasms which originate in B cells, they present in adult patients, and there is no therapeutic option which achieves a definitive cure. In Mexico, there is scant information on the incidence and characteristics of these neoplasms. Objective. The objective of the study was to identify the demographic, clinical characteristics and the most frequently used treatments of patients with diagnosis of MCL, CLL, or MM who received care at a Mexican hospital. Material and methods. Aretrospective study was conducted, analyzing the clinical records of patients with diagnosis of MCL, CLL, or MM who received care at the Siglo XXI National Medical Center Cancer Hospital Hematology Service. Results. 399 patients were included, 214, (54%) men and 185 (46%) women, with median age 60 years (38 to 88). The distribution was 31 (8%) patients with MCL, 21(5%) with CLL, and 347 (87%) with MM. The most common initial clinical manifestation was weight loss in MCL and CLL, and lumbar pain in MM. The median time for a patient to see a doctor was greater in patients with MM than in MCL and CLL(7.2 vs. 5 and 6 months). The common denominator in the 3 neoplasms was that most of the patients were in an advanced stage of the disease at the time of diagnosis.Conclusion. Most of demographic characteristics of patients included were similar to those described in the literature; however, the age of patients with myeloma was lower, the time to diagnosis was greater and stage of disease at diagnosis was higher than expected.Keywords.Mantle lymphoma, lymphocytic leukemia, multiple myeloma.

e15687 Background: Data, incidence and/or prevalence about gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors remains unknown in Mexico. Also there is no evidence about any Mexican multicenter study reporting information such as clinical presentation, diagnostic approach and treatment. The biggest problem is the lack of clinical and therapeutic management results so physicians can validate the proper patient protocols. Methods: To know the clinical, epidemiological and therapeutic characteristics of NET-GEP patients treated at the 5 biggest Concentration Mexican Medical Institutions.This paper was developed with the support of 5 Public Medical Institutions: Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS), Institute for Social Security and Services for State Workers (ISSSTE), Secretary of the Mexican Navy, Petroleos Mexicanos (PEMEX), Ministry of Public Health 495 Patients from 6 hospitals where included: Oncology Hospital, CMN XXI Century, Hospital No. 25 25, Monterrey IMSS, National Cancer Institute (INCAN), National Medical Center November 20, Naval General Hospital of High Specialty and Private Institutions.

Diagnosis symptoms included: abdominal pain 47.27% (234), gastrointestinal bleeding 18.58% (92) no-predominant symptoms 28.88% (143). Around 32.25% (160) had Carcinoid syndrome and 67.74% (336) were nonfunctioning. The predominant location was pancreas 33.27% (165) and stomach 28.02% (139). 36% resulted circumscribed neoplasia (179), features polypoid 26% (129) and infiltrative 15% (73). The size was > 2cm in 49% (242) > 1-2cm: 36% (180) 0.5 to 1 cm 9% (45) < 0.5 cm 6% (29). Grade: GI 64% (316), GII 13% (66), GIII 23% (114). Metastasis positive ganglioanres (6%) (31), negative (94%) (465). Only seven cases extra nodal metastases (liver (3), lung (2), spleen (2)) Conclusions:This is the first multi-center study in Mexico. Which reflects the clinical characteristics of the NET_GET. The results differ in their epidemiology from that reported in other countries. However, the clinical and therapeutic results are very similar.
