Abstract Introduction[18F]PSMA-1007 has potential advantages over [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11, although limited prospective data evaluating diagnostic performance exist. The aims of this study are to describe the concordance of [18FPSMA-1007 and [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 for TNM with American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) prognostic stage, and assess differences in tracer uptake.MethodsFifty men (mean age 71.8) were imaged with [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 and [18F]PSMA-1007 < 4 weeks apart. Images were independently reported according to TNM by two experienced nuclear medicine specialists blinded to the other scan and prior imaging. Discordant results were resolved by a third independent nuclear medicine specialist. Quantitative analysis of lesion uptake and physiologic tissue for each tracer was performed by one experienced reader.ResultsScan indications were initial staging (n = 12), biochemical recurrence (n = 27) and metastatic disease evaluation (n = 11). Most patients had ISUP grade group 3 or higher. Median PSA value was 2.7 ng/ml (IQR 0.7–12.0) and a minority of patients (28%) were currently treated with androgen deprivation therapy. [18F]PSMA-1007 uptake was significantly higher than [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 in local recurrence, nodal and distant metastases, and most physiologic sites except for urinary bladder which was significantly lower. [18F]PSMA-1007 upstaged local prostate staging in 5/17 patients, local recurrence in 3/33 patients, regional nodal disease in 3/50 patients and 1 distant metastasis (bladder). [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 upstaged regional nodal disease in 1/50 patients and distant metastasis in one patient (right adrenal). Overall AJCC prognostic stage was concordant in 46/50 (92%) patients, with two patients upstaged for both [18F]PSMA-1007 and [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11. [18F]PSMA-1007 had more equivocal results (one regional node; six equivocal bone lesions, one of which was subsequently confirmed metastatic) than [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 (one equivocal local recurrence).ConclusionOverall AJCC prognostic stage was similar (92%) between [18F]PSMA-1007 and [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11. [18F]PSMA-1007 demonstrates higher uptake within involved nodes and distant metastases, and most physiologic sites except urinary bladder which aided [18F]PSMA-1007 local staging of the prostate primary / local recurrence and regional nodal disease adjacent ureters. However [18F]PSMA-1007 liver uptake obscured a solitary right adrenal metastasis, and more equivocal bone lesions were identified.

AbstractThe pattern of recurrences after surgical treatment of 276 patients with stage T3 and T4 laryngeal carcinoma was reviewed. Nodal recurrence was the commonest site and occurred mainly in patients with supraglottic and transglottic carcinoma. Distant metastasis was the second commonest site of recurrence, and the most distant metastases developed without locoregional recurrence. Local recurrence alone was uncommon in patients treated with primary surgery.

Abstract Background Radical resection is associated with good prognosis among patients with cT1/T2Nx rectal cancer. However, still some of the patients experienced cancer recurrence following radical resection. This study tried to identify the postoperative risk factors of local recurrence and distant metastasis separately. Methods This retrospective, single-center study comprised of 279 consecutive patients from Linkou branch of Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in 2005–2016 with rectal adenocarcinoma, pT1/T2N0M0 at distance from anal verge ≤ 8cm, who received curative radical resection. Results The study included 279 patients with pT1/pT2N0 mid-low rectal cancer with median follow-up of 73.5 months. Nineteen (6.8%) patients had disease recurrence in total. Nine (3.2%) of them had local recurrence, and fourteen (5.0%) of them had distant metastasis. Distal resection margin < 0.9 (cm) (hazard ratio = 4.9, p = 0.050) was the risk factor of local recurrence. Preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) ≥ 5 ng/mL (hazard ratio = 9.3, p = 0.0003), lymph node yield (LNY) < 14 (hazard ratio = 5.0, p = 0.006), and distal resection margin < 1.4cm (hazard ratio = 4.0, p = 0.035) were the risk factors of distant metastasis. Conclusion For patients with pT1/pT2N0 mid-low rectal cancer, current multidisciplinary treatment brings acceptable survival outcome. Insufficient distal resection margin attracted the awareness of risk factors for local recurrence and distant metastasis as a foundation for future research.

AbstractThe control of distant metastasis in oral squamous cell carcinoma is an important determinant of improved prognosis. The study aimed to identify risk factors for distant metastasis in patients with locoregionally controlled oral carcinoma. We identified 982 patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma treated at our hospital between January 2008 and December 2017. After excluding patients with distant metastasis at initial treatment, patients with metastasis to the oral cavity, those receiving palliative treatment, and those lacking follow-up data, 941 patients were selected. Finally, among these 941 patients, 887 with locoregionally controlled oral squamous cell carcinoma were included in the study. Among the 887 patients, 36 had confirmed distant metastasis (4.1%), and the lung was the most common site (31/36 patients, 86.1%). Multivariate analysis showed that the incidence of primary intraosseous carcinoma of the mandible, cervical lymph node metastasis at levels IV and V, and the presence of pathological extranodal extension were significant risk factors for distant metastasis. When treating patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma who are positive for the aforementioned risk factors, the possibility of developing distant metastases must be accounted for, and aggressive treatment should be planned accordingly.

Abstract Background The number of young patients diagnosed with breast cancer is on the rise. We studied the rate trend of local recurrence (LR) and regional recurrence (RR) in young breast cancer (YBC) patients and outcomes among these patients based on molecular subtypes. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted based on data from Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital for patients ≤ 35 years of age with pathologically confirmed primary invasive breast cancer surgically treated between 2006 and 2014. Patients were categorized according to molecular subtypes on the basis of hormone receptor (HR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status. The 5-year rates for LR, RR, and distant metastases (DM) were estimated by Kaplan-Meir statistics. Nelson-Aalen cumulative-hazard plots were used to describe local recurrence- and distant metastasis-free intervals. Results We identified 25,284 patients with a median follow-up of 82 months, of whom 1099 (4.3%) were YBC patients ≤ 35 years of age. The overall 5-year LR, RR, and DM rates in YBC patients were 6.7%, 5.1%, and 16.6%, respectively. The LR and RR rates demonstrated a decreasing trend over time (P = 0.028 and P = 0.015, respectively). We found that early-stage breast cancer and less lymph node metastases increased over time (P = 0.004 and P = 0.007, respectively). Patients with HR−/HER2+ status had a significantly higher LR (HR 20.4; 95% CI, 11.8–35.4) and DM (HR 37.2; 95% CI, 24.6–56.3) at 10 years. Breast-conserving surgery (BCS) or mastectomy did not influence rates of LR and RR. In the overall population, the 5-year survival of YBC patients exceeded 90%. Conclusions The rates of LR and RR with YBC patients demonstrated a downward trend and the proportion of early-stage breast cancer increased between 2006 and 2014. We report the highest LR rates in this young population were associated with HR−/HER2+ tumors.

Purpose We previously described the prognostic impact of tumor regression grading (TRG) on the outcome of patients with rectal carcinoma treated with preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in the CAO/ARO/AIO-94 trial. Here we report long-term results after a median follow-up of 132 months. Patients and Methods TRG after preoperative CRT was determined in 386 surgical specimens by the amount of viable tumor cells versus fibrosis, ranging from TRG 4 (no viable tumor cells) to TRG 0 (no signs of regression). Clinicopathologic parameters and TRG were correlated to the cumulative incidence of local recurrence, distant metastasis, and disease-free survival (DFS). Results Ten-year cumulative incidence of distant metastasis and DFS were 10.5% and 89.5% for patients with TRG 4 (complete regression), 29.3% and 73.6% for TRG 2 and 3 (intermediate regression), and 39.6% and 63% for TRG 0 and 1 (poor regression), respectively (P = .005 and P = .008, respectively). On multivariable analysis, residual lymph node metastasis (ypN+) and TRG were the only independent prognostic factors for cumulative incidence of distant metastasis (P < .001 and P = .035, respectively) and DFS (P < .001 and P = .039, respectively), whereas local recurrence was significantly affected by ypN status (P < .001) and lymphatic invasion (P = .026). Conclusion Complete and intermediate tumor regressions were associated with improved long-term outcome in patients with rectal carcinoma after preoperative CRT independent of clinicopathologic parameters. This classification system needs to be prospectively tested in multiple data sets to validate its reproducibility in a wider setting.

Purpose To identify clinicopathological factors predictive of distant metastasis in patients who had a pathologic complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NC). Methods Retrospective review of 226 patients at our institution identified as having a pCR was performed. Clinical stage at diagnosis was I (2%), II (36%), IIIA (27%), IIIB (23%), and IIIC (12%). Eleven percent of all patients were inflammatory breast cancers (IBC). Ninety-five percent received anthracycline-based chemotherapy; 42% also received taxane-based therapy. The relationship of distant metastasis with clinicopathologic factors was evaluated, and Cox regression analysis was performed to identify independent predictors of development of distant metastasis. Results Median follow-up was 63 months. There were 31 distant metastases. Ten-year distant metastasis-free rate was 82%. Multivariate Cox regression analysis using combined stage revealed that clinical stages IIIB, IIIC, and IBC (hazard ratio [HR], 4.24; 95% CI, 1.96 to 9.18; P < .0001), identification of ≤ 10 lymph nodes (HR, 2.94; 95% CI, 1.40 to 6.15; P = .004), and premenopausal status (HR, 3.08; 95% CI, 1.25 to 7.59; P = .015) predicted for distant metastasis. Freedom from distant metastasis at 10 years was 97% for no factors, 88% for one factor, 77% for two factors, and 31% for three factors (P < .0001). Conclusion A small percentage of breast cancer patients with pCR experience recurrence. We identified factors that independently predicted for distant metastasis development. Our data suggest that premenopausal patients with advanced local disease and suboptimal axillary node evaluation may be candidates for clinical trials to determine whether more aggressive or investigational adjuvant therapy will be of benefit.

Objective: The last edition of the AJCC staging system eliminated the pT2 subclassification of prostate cancer (PCa). Our objective was to evaluate the association of pT2 subclassification with the oncological results of patients with PCa who underwent radical prostatectomy (RP). Material and methods: We evaluated 367 patients who underwent RP between 2009 and 2016, with pT2 disease in the final pathological evaluation. We assessed differences in rates of biochemical recurrence (BCR), metastasis and mortality between T2 substages (pT2a/b vs pT2c). Results: Fifty-three (14.4%) patients presented pT2a/b disease and 314 (85.6%) pT2c disease. The mean follow-up time was 4.9 ± 2.6 years. Grade group scores (p = 0.1) and prostate specific antigen (PSA) (p = 0.2) did not differed between pT2 substages. The rate of BCR in pT2a/b and pT2c patients was 11.3% and 18.2%, respectively (p = 0.2). Five (9.4%) patients with pT2a/b and 45 (14.3%) with pT2c substage underwent salvage radiotherapy (p = 0.3). The rate of positive surgical margins did not differ between groups (p = 0.2). Seven (2.2%) patients with pT2c had lymph nodes or distant metastases. The overall survival was 92.5% and 93.6% in pT2a/b and pT2c, respectively (p = 0.2). Conclusion: Our results are in accordance with the changes introduced in the 8th edition of the AJCC staging system in which the pT2 subclassification was eliminated.
