Purpose: Improved survival after liver resection for breast cancer liver metastases (BCLM) has been proven; however, there is still controversy on predictive factors influencing outcomes. The analysis of factors related to primary and metastatic cancer eventually influencing long-term outcomes and a review of the literature are presented in this report. Methods: Twenty-seven patients diagnosed with metachronous BCLM between 1996 and 2013 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients who had a minimum disease-free interval between primary tumor and liver metastasis of 12 months, no more than 3 liver lesions, no macroscopic extra-hepatic disease and in which systemic therapy showed a good response were included. Results: Twenty-two patients (82%) were initially diagnosed with a stage I-II disease. Twelve patients presented with multiple liver metastases. The 5 years overall survival (OS) rate was 78%, while the 5 years disease-free survival (DFS) rate was 36%. Initial tumor stage III-IV at first diagnosis and number of metastases >1 was significantly associated with a shorter DFS at multivariate analysis (p = 0.03 and p = 0.04 respectively). Patients with multiple lesions had a median DFS of 15 months compared to 47 months in patients with a single lesion (p = 0.03). Conclusions: Resection of single BCLM from primary stage I-II cancer offers very good long-term survival rates and a low morbidity.

Intercurrent Disease

From March 1972 to November 1979 a total of 157 patients with stage I to III primary breast cancers have been irradiated after segmental resection (12 cases), tilectomy (89 cases) or biopsy (56 cases). Complete local control was achieved in all Stage I lesions, in 97 % Stage II lesions and in 68 % Stage III lesions. Non recurrence has been observed in patients previously operated by segmental resections, while local failures occurred in 6/89 and in 16/56 patients operated by tilectomy or biopsy, respectively. Of the 28 Stage I patients, 24 (86 %) are alive, one with distant metastases. Four patients of this group are dead, 2 of intercurrent disease and 2 of breast cancer. Of the 61 (Stage II) patients, 38 (62 %) are alive, 5 of these with distant metastases. Twenty-three patients are dead, 15 with active disease, and 8 suffered intercurrent death. Of the 68 Stage III patients, 21 (31 %) are alive, 6 of these with distant metastases. Fourty-seven patients are dead, 43 of breast cancer and 4 of intercurrent disease. The high probability of initial subclinical deposits is evidenced by the fact that 49 of the 68 patients in this group developed distant metastases. The patients with T1 lesions appear to comprise the most favourable group with a relapse free survival at five years of 76 %. The 5 years relapse free survival was 62 % for T2 lesions and 25 % for T3 and T4 lesions. N0 status does not confer the same favourable prognosis as T1 status. N+ status, however, resulted in a definitly negative prognostic factor. Cosmetic results after our treatment approach appear to be extremely good. A marked difference between the irradiated and controlateral breast occurred only in 10 of the 125 patients after a minium of 2 years observation.

Refractory Hodgkin Lymphoma

Introduction: Hodgkin lymphoma is a curable lymphoma with an 80–90% long-term survival, however, 30% of the patients develop relapse. Only half of relapsed patients can be cured with autologous stem cell transplantation. Aim: The aim of the authors was to analyze survival rates and incidence of relapses among Hodgkin lymphoma patients who were treated between January 1, 1980 and December 31, 2014. Novel therapeutic options are also summarized. Method: Retrospective analysis of data was performed. Results: A total of 715 patients were treated (382 men and 333 women; median age at the time of diagnosis was 38 years). During the studied period the frequency of relapsed patients was reduced from 24.87% to 8.04%. The numbers of autologous stem cell transplantations was increased among refracter/relapsed patients, and 75% of the patients underwent transplantation since 2000. The 5-year overall survival improved significantly (between 1980 and 1989 64.4%, between 1990 and 1999 82.4%, between 2000 and 2009 88.4%, and between 2010 and 2014 87.1%). Relapse-free survival did not change significantly. Conclusions: During the study period treatment outcomes improved. For relapsed/refractory Hodgkin lymphoma patients novel treatment options may offer better chance for cure. Orv. Hetil., 2015, 156(45), 1824–1833.

Objectives:To assess long term efficacy of tocilizumab in treatment-naive patients with Takayasu arteritis (TAK).Methods:In this multicenter, prospective, open-labelled trial, we aim to evaluate the benefit of adding tocilizumab to steroids in treatment-naïve patients with TAK, on discontinuation of steroids after 6 months of tocilizumab treatment, and to assess relapse-free survival following tocilizumab discontinuation.Results:Thirteen patients with TAK were included, with a median age of 32 years [19-45] and 12 (92%) females. Six (54%) patients met the primary end-point. Among 11 (85%) patients which achieved remission at 6 months, 6 (54%) have reached primary endpoint.. Among the 5 remaining patients which continued steroids, 3 had a prednisone-equivalent dosage < 5mg/day. A significant decrease of disease activity was observed after 6 months of tocilizumab therapy: decrease of median NIH scale (3 [3-4] at baseline, versus 1 [0-2] after 6 months; p <0.001), ITAS-2010 score (5 [2-7] versus 3 [0-8]; p = 0.002), and ITAS-A score (7 [4-10] versus 4 [1-15]; p = 0.0001)]. All patients discontinued tocilizumab after 7 infusions, and no other immunosuppressive drugs was introduced, except for 1 patient which received methotrexate. After 9 and 12 months, respectively 7 (54%) and 6 (50%) patients achieved remission with less than 7.5 mg/day of prednisone, and 9 (69%) and 9 (75%) with doses <10 mg/day. During the 12 months follow-up after tocilizumab discontinuation, a relapse occurred among 5 patients (45%) out of 11 in which achieved remission after 6 months of tocilizumab.No severe AEs were considered related to study treatment and none required tocilizumab interruption or dose reduction. No deaths have occurred during the study period.Conclusion:Tocilizumab seems an effective steroid sparing therapy in TAK but its effect appears to be suspensive.Disclosure of Interests:Arsene Mekinian: None declared, david Saadoun: None declared, [email protected] [email protected]: None declared, [email protected] [email protected]: None declared, Patrick Jégo: None declared, [email protected] [email protected]: None declared, wxv wxv: None declared, Jacques-Eric Gottenberg Grant/research support from: BMS, Pfizer, Consultant of: BMS, Sanofi-Genzyme, UCB, Speakers bureau: Abbvie, Eli Lilly and Co., Roche, Sanofi-Genzyme, UCB, Mathieu Vautier: None declared, [email protected]>; [email protected]>;: None declared, Patrice cacoub: None declared, olivier fain: None declared
