Background
Brain metastases (BM) occur frequently in patients with metastatic kidney cancer and are a significant source of morbidity and mortality. Although historically associated with a poor prognosis, survival outcomes for patients in the modern era are incompletely characterized. In particular, outcomes after adjusting for systemic therapy administration and International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Database Consortium (IMDC) risk factors are not well-known.Patients and Methods
A retrospective database of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) treated at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center between 2006 and 2015 was created. Data relevant to their diagnosis, treatment course, and outcomes were systematically collected. Survival was analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method. Patients with BM were compared with patients without BM after adjusting for the timing of BM diagnosis, either prior to or during first-line systemic therapy. The impact of stratification according to IMDC risk group was assessed.Results
A total of 56 (28.4%) of 268 patients with metastatic RCC were diagnosed with BM prior to or during first-line systemic therapy. Median overall survival (OS) for systemic therapy-naive patients with BM compared with matched patients without BM was 19.5 versus 28.7 months (P = .0117). When analyzed according to IMDC risk group, the median OS for patients with BM was similar for favorable- and intermediate-risk patients (not reached vs. not reached; and 29.0 vs. 36.7 months; P = .5254), and inferior for poor-risk patients (3.5 vs. 9.4 months; P = .0462). For patients developing BM while on first-line systemic therapy, survival from the time of progression did not significantly differ by presence or absence of BM (11.8 vs. 17.8 months; P = .6658).Conclusions
Survival rates for patients with BM are significantly better than historical reports. After adjusting for systemic therapy, the survival rates of patients with BM in favorable- and intermediate-risk groups were remarkably better than expected and not statistically different from patients without BM, though this represents a single institution experience, and numbers are modest. 相似文献2.

Background
Metastases to the brain occur in 10%-16% of patients with breast cancer, with incidence reportedly increasing. Historically, brain metastases (BM) have been treated with whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT), but stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is an increasingly favored treatment option. In this study we used a population-level database to compare patterns of care and survival between WBRT and SRS for BM from breast cancer.Materials and Methods
The National Cancer Database was used to select patients treated with radiation for BM from primary breast cancer. Groups were classified on the basis of the modality of radiation delivered to the brain and compared across several demographic factors. A Kaplan–Meier survival curve and Cox multivariate analysis were used to compare overall survival. A matched analysis using propensity scores was used to further reduce confounders and compare survival.Results
The treatment groups were significantly different across several socioeconomic variables including income, insurance status, and treatment setting. The percentage of patients who received SRS increased dramatically in the second half of the analyzed time period (P < .001). Unadjusted median survival was significantly longer for patients who received SRS versus those who received WBRT (P < .001). This finding persisted after propensity score-matching.Conclusion
Receipt of SRS was associated with different socioeconomic variables and longer overall survival compared with WBRT, highlighting the need for less toxic treatment for patients who are now living longer. The results revealed important socioeconomic differences between patients selected for SRS versus WBRT and emphasizes disparities in access to modern radiation techniques across the United States. 相似文献3.

Background
Based on estrogen active substances, many women consume soy foods in the belief that it could prevent breast cancer (BC). Women with different molecular subtypes would be likely to have diverse reactions to soy foods, especially those with the estrogen-receptor-positive (ER+) subtype. The aim of the current study is to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) on soy foods in premenopausal patients with Lumina A subtype of BC (LABC) after soy food treatment, and to further investigate the critical molecule change.Materials and Methods
GSE58792 retrieved from Gene Expression Omnibus was analyzed to obtain DEGs using GEO2R. Gene Ontology and pathway enrichment analysis were performed using FunRich and GeneMINIA. Overall survival of critical genes was performed by the Kaplan-Meier plotter online tool.Results
A total of 108 DEGs were obtained from the dataset, among which 35 were up-regulated and 73 down-regulated. Soy foods significantly reduced the expression of TFF3, TFF1, GATA3, and ESR1, which were related to the activity of the ER-related pathway and the sensitivity of tamoxifen. Furthermore, the lower expressions of TOX3, FSIP1, ESR1, and CLGN were related to prolonged survival time of patients with BC. The most significant signaling pathways were epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in up-regulated DEGs, mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition, and mammary gland alveolus development in down-regulated DEGs, which were all related to the development and prognosis of BC.Conclusions
Soy foods could dramatically alter the ER-related gene profile in LABC. Particularly, down-regulated DEGs of TFF3, TFF1, GATA3, and ESR1 might weaken the sensitivity of tamoxifen and increase the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in premenopausal patients with LABC. 相似文献4.

Background
Colon cancer is the third most frequent cancer diagnosis, and primary payer status has been shown to be associated with treatment modalities and survival in cancer patients. The goal of our study was to determine the between-insurance differences in survival in patients with clinical stage III colon cancer using data from the National Cancer Database (NCDB).Materials and Methods
We identified 130,998 patients with clinical stage III colon cancer in the NCDB diagnosed from 2004 to 2012. Kaplan-Meier curves and multivariable Cox regression models were used to determine the association between insurance status and survival.Results
Patients with private insurance plans were 28%, 30%, and 16% less likely to die than were uninsured patients, Medicaid recipients, and Medicare beneficiaries, respectively. Medicare patients were 14% were less likely to die compared with uninsured patients. Patients receiving chemotherapy were, on average, 65% less likely to die compared with the patients not receiving chemotherapy.Conclusion
Private insurance and a greater socioeconomic status were associated with increased patient survival compared with other insurance plans or the lack of insurance. Future research should continue to unravel how socioeconomic status and insurance status contribute to the quality of care and survival of oncologic patients. 相似文献5.

Background
Brain metastases (BM) pose a significant problem in patients with metastatic renal-cell carcinoma (mRCC). Local and systemic therapies including stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) are rapidly evolving, necessitating reassessments of outcomes for modern patient management.Patients and Methods
The mRCC patients with BM treated with SRS were reviewed. Patient demographics, clinical history, and SRS treatment parameters were identified.Results
Among 268 patients with mRCC treated between 2006 and 2015, 38 patients were identified with BM. A total of 243 BM were treated with SRS with 1 to 26 BMs treated per SRS session (median, 2 BMs). The median (range) BM size was 0.6 (0.2-3.1) cm and median (range) SRS treatment dose was 18 (12-24) Gy. Treated BM local control rates at 1 and 2 years were 91.8% (95% confidence interval, 85.7-95.4) and 86.1% (95% confidence interval, 77.1-91.7), respectively. BM control declined for larger tumors. Survival after 1-year was 57.5% (95% CI 40.2-71.4) for all patients. Survival was not statistically different between patients with < 5 BM versus ≥ 5 BM. Survival was prognostic based on International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Database (IMDC) risk groups in patients with < 5 BM. Two patients experienced grade 3 radiation necrosis requiring surgical intervention.Conclusion
SRS is effective in controlling BM in patients with mRCC. Over half of treated patients survive past a year, and no differences in survival were noted in patients with > 5 metastases. Prognostic risk categories based on systemic disease (IMDC) are predictive of survival in this BM population, with limited rates of symptomatic radiation necrosis. 相似文献6.
Purpose
To assess the pharmacologic costs of second-line treatments for metastatic renal-cell cancer (mRCC).Methods
The present evaluation was restricted to pivotal phase 3 randomized controlled trials in second-line for mRCC. We calculated the pharmacologic costs necessary to get the benefit in progression-free survival and overall survival (OS) for each trial. The costs of drugs are at the pharmacy of our hospital and are expressed in euros.Results
Our analysis evaluated 5 phase 3 randomized controlled trials including 3112 patients. The lowest cost per month of progression-free survival and OS gained was associated with the use of cabozantinib (€2006 and €1473, respectively), while everolimus had the highest cost per month of OS gained (€28,590).Conclusion
Combining pharmacologic costs of drugs with the measure of efficacy represented by OS, cabozantinib is a cost-effective second-line treatments for patients with mRCC. 相似文献7.

Introduction
Breast cancer treatment and recovery remain physically and psychologically challenging for patients. Reflexology has been studied as a complementary therapy to help relieve patients of the physical and psychological stresses involved with breast cancer. As a result of recent positive evidence, we studied its effects quantitatively from 2015 to 2016.Patients and Methods
Fifty-two patients completed pre- and post-reflexology intervention ‘Measure Yourself Concerns and Wellbeing’ (MYCaW) questionnaires. Patients were subdivided into breast cancer (BC) and non-breast cancer (NBC) groups. Concerns raised were subdivided in subcategory groups as per MYCaW guidelines and analyzed for improvements in each domain.Results
Thirty (57.7%) patients in the BC group and 22 (42.3%) patients in the NBC group were analyzed. In the BC group, there was a 46.2% improvement in patients’ concerns, and in the NBC group, a 41.4% improvement in concerns were noted. Overall, the symptoms improved by 44.2% (P < .0001). There was an improvement of 43.4% in patient well-being in the BC group, and a 37.8% change in the NBC group, signifying a total improvement in well-being of 41.2%. There was an improvement of 46.4% in the MYCaW scores; 46.4% in the BC group and 42.6% in the NBC group, signifying a combined average improvement of 42.4%. Patients with poor energy level, sleep problems, stress and tension, and hot flushes and sweats experienced the most improvement in their concerns.Conclusions
Our findings show that reflexology has significantly improved patient-reported outcomes using the MYCaW scale. These findings are encouraging and reflect that increased attention to strategies focusing on improving psychological well-being can help patients in managing their symptoms. 相似文献8.

Background
Cardiovascular events (CVEs) have been observed in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia treated with second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors.Patients and Methods
We retrospectively evaluated the incidence of CVEs on 233 consecutive patients with chronic myeloid leukemia, of which 116 were treated with imatinib, 75 with dasatinib, and 42 with nilotinib. The median follow-up was 2047, 1712, and 1773 days, respectively.Results
The cumulative incidence of CVEs was 4.29%. Three events occurred during dasatinib treatment, 6 during nilotinib treatment, and none during imatinib treatment (P ≤ .001). Arterial occlusive events occurred in 2 (2.6%) of 75 patients treated with dasatinib and in 6 (14.2%) of 42 patients treated with nilotinib (P ≤ .001). Furthermore, all of them occurred in patients with high-risk (n = 2) and very high-risk (n = 6) cardiovascular risk, contributing to 4.3% of mortality.Conclusion
CVEs were more frequent in patients treated with second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Arterial occlusive events were more frequent in patients treated with nilotinib, with high and very high cardiovascular risk. 相似文献9.

Introduction
Elderly patients are more prone to encounter some adverse factors when they receive chemotherapy compared to younger patients. Addition of rituximab to a reduced dose (RD) of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone (R-CHOP) chemotherapy might improve patient outcomes with an improved toxicity profile when provided to elderly patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.Patients and Methods
A total of 53 patients aged ≥ 65 years with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma diagnosed between August 2012 and December 2014 were enrolled onto this study. RD-R-CHOP regimen consisted of rituximab at 375 mg/m2, cyclophosphamide at 600 mg/m2, doxorubicin at 30 mg/m2, and vincristine at 1 mg on day 1 of each cycle and 40 mg of prednisone on days 1 to 5. Patients received granulocyte colony-stimulating factor if they experienced grade 3/4 neutropenia or febrile neutropenia during any cycle.Results
The median follow-up duration was 18 months (range, 1-44 months). Complete response and overall response rates were 64.1% and 81.1%, respectively. Three-year event-free and overall survival rates were 45.7% ± 8.4% and 62.7% ± 8.1%, respectively. Grade 3/4 neutropenia occurred in 20 patients (37.7%), while febrile neutropenia occurred in 7 patients (20.7%).Conclusion
Outcomes of RD-R-CHOP chemotherapy were comparable to those of standard-dose R-CHOP or previous dose-adjusted R-CHOP chemotherapy. In the future, strategies such as tailored therapy based on geriatric assessment results are needed to determine the chemotherapeutic dosage. 相似文献10.

Background
Eribulin has efficacy in patients with progression after ≥ 1 chemotherapeutic regimen for metastatic breast cancer (MBC). A short disease-free interval (DFI) and previous use of taxanes in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting have been associated with worse outcomes for patients receiving first-line chemotherapy for HER2-negative MBC. The aim of the present trial was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of eribulin as first-line therapy for patients with HER2-negative MBC with these poor prognostic factors.Patients and Methods
Eribulin monotherapy was administered until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The principal selection criteria were HER2 negativity without previous chemotherapy for MBC, the previous use of taxanes for early-stage breast cancer, and a DFI of < 36 months (subsequently amended to 48 months). The primary endpoint was the investigator-assessed time to progression. The secondary endpoints included overall survival, progression-free survival, objective response rate, clinical benefit rate, duration of response, and toxicity profile. A total of 53 patients were enrolled and received ≥ 1 dose of eribulin.Results
The median patient age was 47 years (range, 23-82.8 years). The median DFI was 15.7 months (range, 0.1-46.4 months). The median investigator-assessed time to progression was 4.1 months (range, 0.2-27.8 months; 95% confidence interval, 3.2-6.2 months). The objective response and clinical benefit rate was 20.8% and 26.4%, respectively. All-grade and grade 3/4 adverse events developed in 96.2% and 69.8% of patients, respectively. The most common treatment-related adverse events were neutropenia, leukopenia, alopecia, nausea, and anemia.Conclusion
Eribulin is effective and safe as first-line therapy for aggressive taxane-pretreated HER2-negative MBC. 相似文献11.

Introduction
The study objective was to determine the incidence and characteristics of drug-induced interstitial lung disease (ILD) associated with an orally available small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor, crizotinib, in a real-world clinical setting.Methods
Post-marketing surveillance was performed in Japan to obtain information on the safety and efficacy of crizotinib. Target patients included all patients with anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive NSCLC who received crizotinib during the enrollment period between May 2012 and December 2014. The observation period was 52 weeks. Expert analysis of the ILD incidence was performed by an ILD independent review committee composed of five medical specialists.Results
The safety analysis set included 2028 patients, and more than half of the patients (56.4%) were nonsmokers. The incidence of ILD associated with crizotinib therapy was 5.77%; and 3.45% patients showed grade 3 or greater. Pulmonary edema-like shadows with or without diffuse alveolar damage pattern were observed in crizotinib-associated ILD (incidence: 0.39%), but a causal relationship with the prognosis could not be identified. ILD developed within 4 weeks from initiation of crizotinib administration in 41.9% and within 8 weeks in 69.2% of the patients. Age 55 years or older, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 2-4, smoking history, previous or concomitant ILD, and comorbid pleural effusion were statistically determined as significant risk factors for crizotinib-induced ILD.Conclusions
Crizotinib therapy should be applied to the NSCLC patients with any of above risk factors under a cautious monitoring for ILD occurrence, and clinicians should pay attention to the risks of severe ILD. 相似文献12.

Background
Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is increasingly treated using targeted therapies. Their real-life evaluation is insufficient, especially in elderly and frail patients. The aim was to describe use, safety, and effectiveness of targeted therapies in first-line mCRC treatment according to age.Patients and Methods
Two field cohorts of patients initiating bevacizumab or cetuximab for first-line mCRC were pooled. Patients characteristics, use, and safety were compared between younger and elderly patients (<75 vs. ≥75 years). Two-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were estimated in both age groups using the Kaplan–Meier method adjusted on factors associated with death or progression identified with Cox multivariate modeling.Results
Eight hundred patients (n = 411, 51.4% bevacizumab) were included: 498 (62.3%) male, median age 64 years, 118 (14.8%) Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG-PS) ≥2. Elderly patients (n = 126, 15.8%) were more often treated with 5-fluorouracil alone than younger. Severe adverse events were equivalent across age groups. ECOG-PS ≥1, abnormal hemoglobin, and abnormal alkaline phosphatases were associated with a higher risk of death; OS adjusted on these factors was similar between elderly and younger patients. ECOG-PS ≥1, lung metastases, abnormal hemoglobin, and abnormal creatinine clearance were associated with a higher risk of progression or death; PFS adjusted on these factors was similar across groups.Conclusion
Despite treatment adaptations, elderly patients could benefit from targeted therapies as younger without safety warning. 相似文献13.

Aims
Ductal adenocarcinoma is a rare variant of prostate cancer, and as such clinical outcomes and best management are not well defined. This series demonstrates the atypical presentation and unusual clinical behaviour of ductal adenocarcinoma and proposes management guidelines to assist clinicians.Materials and methods
A retrospective review of pure (nine patients) and mixed (18 patients) ductal adenocarcinoma of the prostate referred to the Departments of Radiation Oncology of the Sydney Cancer Centre, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and Northern Sydney Cancer Centre, Royal North Shore Hospital, between 2000 and 2015.Results
Twenty-seven patients were treated with definitive radiotherapy, nine patients (33%) with pure ductal and 18 (67%) with mixed ductal-acinar adenocarcinoma. The median follow-up was 38 months. Four patients (15%) failed locally, all of whom received less than 80 Gy, or no brachytherapy boost. Five patients (19%) failed distantly, four with biopsy-proven lung metastases. All distant failures occurred with a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) < 3 ng/ml.Conclusion
This series shows the atypical clinical presentation of this entity, as well as its propensity to metastasise to unusual sites. Relapse may occur at low absolute PSA values and is often asymptomatic. Ductal cancer should not simply be regarded as a high Gleason grade cancer. We propose management guidelines, including regular computed tomography examinations (rather than relying solely on PSA levels) as part of the follow-up for patients with any component of ductal adenocarcinoma. 相似文献14.

Introduction
Mutations in the KRAS gene are the most common driver oncogenes present in lung adenocarcinomas. We analyzed the largest multi-institutional database available containing patients with metastatic KRAS-mutant lung adenocarcinomas.Methods
The Lung Cancer Mutation Consortium (LCMC) is a multi-institutional collaboration to study the genomic characteristics of lung adenocarcinomas, treat them with genomically directed therapeutic approaches, and assess their outcomes. Since its inception in 2009, the LCMC has enrolled more than 1900 patients and has performed pretreatment, multiplexed, molecular characterization along with collecting clinical data. We evaluated the characteristics of patients with KRAS mutation in the LCMC and the association with overall survival.Results
Data from 1655 patients with metastatic lung adenocarcinomas were analyzed. Four hundred fifty (27%) patients had a KRAS mutation, 58% were female, 93% were smokers, and there was a median age of 65 years. Main KRAS subtypes were: G12C 39%; and G12D and G12V at 18% each. Among patients with KRAS mutation, G12D had a higher proportion of never-smokers (22%, p < 0.001). Patients with KRAS-mutant tumors had a trend toward shorter median survival compared to all others in the series (1.96 versus 2.22; P = 0.08) and lower 2-year survival rate (49% [95% confidence interval: 44%–54%] and 55% [95% confidence interval: 52%–58%], respectively).Conclusions
In the LCMC study, 27% of lung adenocarcinomas patients harbored a KRAS mutation and up to one-third of them had another oncogenic driver. Patients with both KRAS and STK11 mutations had a significantly inferior clinical outcome. 相似文献15.

Introduction
Lung cancer patients with tumors harboring actionable alterations can achieve very durable responses to first-line targeted therapy. However, identifying targetable alterations using next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a complex and time-intensive process. As actionable genetic alterations are enriched in lung cancers arising in patients with limited smoking history, we designed a workflow to expedite NGS testing for this group.Methods
We developed a protocol to allow for next-day extraction of nucleic acids from frozen tissue. Specimens were designated as high priority during sequencing. We determined the interval between biopsy and NGS results to evaluate whether the workflow reduced the pre-analytical period and in-laboratory turnaround time and allowed for rapid initiation of genotype-matched therapy.Results
Between January 2017 and May 2018, 21 patients participated in the expedited sequencing program. The median interval between biopsy and NGS results was 10.7 days. Six patients received results within 1 week of biopsy. Performing molecular analysis on frozen tissue and prioritizing sequencing and analysis of these specimens reduced the pre-analytical period from 3.5 to 1.3 days (p < 0.0001) and shortened in-laboratory turnaround time by 3 days (11.8 versus 8.4 business days, p < 0.0001). Ninety-three percent of patients with an actionable molecular alteration received first-line targeted therapy. The median time-to-initiation of treatment was 19.7 days from biopsy.Conclusions
Sequencing and analyzing nucleic acids from frozen tissue is a practical strategy for shortening the time to matched therapy. The significant advantage of upfront treatment with targeted therapies in subsets of lung cancer patients provides rationale for developing workflows that accelerate comprehensive molecular analysis. 相似文献16.

Background
The aim of this study was to determine if, in inflammatory breast cancer (IBC), baseline metabolic activity (maximum standardized uptake value [SUVmax]) of primary tumor and involved regional lymph nodes (IRLN) are prognostic markers of response after neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NAS).Patients and Methods
Baseline 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography scans were retrospectively reviewed among 61 women with IBC who received NAS, had mastectomy, and had available pathology reports. Primary tumor and IRLN SUVmax were compared between patients with a pathologic complete response (pCR) versus those with residual disease after NAS. A multivariate Cox model was fit to evaluate the effects of SUVmax on overall survival, adjusting for pCR and stratified by receptor status and disease stage.Results
SUVmax in primary IBC tumors tended to increase with tumor grade (trend test P = .06) and was lower for stage III, non–triple-negative (TN) versus stage III, TN and stage IV, non-TN disease (P = .04). Neither primary tumor nor IRLN SUVmax was significantly different comparing pCR versus residual disease after NAS. Adjusting for pathology response in the overall survival model stratified by stage and receptor status, baseline SUVmax in primary IBC tumor was associated with an estimated hazard ratio of 1.10 (95% confidence interval, 0.97-1.25; P = .15) for patients with stage III, TN and stage IV, non-TN disease. This hazard ratio corresponded to a 1.74-fold risk of death with 1 standard deviation (SD = 5.9) increase in baseline SUVmax in primary IBC tumor.Conclusion
2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography provides prognostic information for newly diagnosed IBC. Larger studies are needed to confirm these findings and assess how such early information could affect treatment choices for IBC in the neoadjuvant setting. 相似文献17.

Introduction
Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a promising curative treatment for early-stage NSCLC. It is unclear if survival outcomes for SBRT are influenced by a lack of pathological confirmation of malignancy and staging of disease in these patients. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we assess survival outcomes after SBRT in studies with patients with clinically diagnosed versus biopsy-proven early-stage NSCLC.Methods
The main databases were searched for trials and cohort studies without restrictions to publication status or language. Two independent researchers performed the screening and selection of eligible studies. Outcomes were overall survival, cancer-specific survival, and disease-free survival. The inverse variance method and the random effects method for meta-analysis were used to assess pooled survival estimates.Results
A total of 11,195 nonduplicate records were identified by the original search strategy. After screening by title and abstract, 1051 potentially eligible records were identified. A total of 43 articles were included. The comparative studies showed lower 3-year overall survival and lower 2-year and 5-year cancer-specific survival for biopsy-proven disease compared to clinical disease. However, 5-year overall survival was the same for both groups. For the pooled estimates, 3-year disease-free survival and 2-year cancer-specific survival were lower for biopsied disease.Conclusions
Results of this systematic review and meta-analysis show a discrepancy in oncological outcomes for patients undergoing SBRT for suspected early-stage NSCLC in whom there is pathologic conformation of malignancy and those who there is only a clinical diagnose of NSCLC. These results emphasize the importance of obtaining pathologic proof of malignancy. 相似文献18.

Introduction
Copanlisib is a phosphoinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor approved for the third-line treatment of follicular non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Although the drug is generally well-tolerated, it can be associated with several unique and potentially serious adverse effects (AEs). Two of the most common toxicities not seen with other PI3K inhibitors include hyperglycemia and hypertension, which primarily occur during infusion and resolve shortly thereafter, and likely relate to targeting the PI3K alpha isoform. Other toxicities less commonly observed with copanlisib than with other approved drugs in this class include non-infectious pneumonitis, infections, diarrhea and colitis, and hepatobiliary toxicity.Materials and Methods
A panel composed of experts in lymphoma, diabetes, and hypertension convened to develop guidance pertaining to the administration of copanlisib and the management of the AEs associated with copanlisib treatment.Results
Recommendations were formulated pertaining to the management of AEs associated with copanlisib treatment, particularly infusion-related hyperglycemia and hypertension, noninfectious pneumonitis, infections, diarrhea, and colitis. The recommendations herein reflect the consensus of the members of this panel, all of whom contributed to these suggested approaches to patient supportive care.Conclusion
There are a number of challenges associated with the use of copanlisib. Infusion-related hypertension and hyperglycemia occur frequently, although they are transient, reversible, and rarely of clinical significance; this report provides guidance as to their management. 相似文献19.

Background
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a heterogeneous disease characterized by chromosomal translocation, deletion, and amplification in plasma cells, resulting in a huge heterogeneity in its outcomes. In the era of novel agents such as bortezomib, thalidomide, and the cycles of treatment, risk stratification by chromosomal aberrations may enable a more rational risk-stratification selection of therapeutic approaches in patients with MM.Patients and Methods
We performed a retrospective study in 63 patients with MM; 29 (46.03%) with 1q21 gain and 34 (53.97%) without gain.Result
In all patients, we did not find that the patients with 1q21 gain had significantly better survival compared with patients without 1q21 gain (overall survival, P = .6916; progression-free survival, P = .8740). However, in 1q21 gain patients, we found that the bortezomib group had significantly better survival compared with the non-bortezomib group in terms of both the 3-year estimated overall survival (82.3% vs. 18.8%; P = .0154) and progression-free survival (62.8% vs. 8.75%; P = .0385).Conclusion
1q21 gain detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization is not as high risk for poor prognosis with regard to time for overall survival. And the clinical outcome of patients with 1q21 gain can be improved in those who received no less than 4 cycles of bortezomib-based therapy (bortezomib, thalidomide, and dexamethasone). 相似文献20.
