Abstract

Histiocytic sarcoma (HS) is a rare disease with a poor prognosis. The efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors for this disease has not been established. A 13-year-old boy with HS refractory to conventional chemotherapy was treated with pembrolizumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor. After treatment, the primary lesion and the bone metastases showed improvement; however, new metastatic lesions also occurred. This case suggests that the effect of immune checkpoint inhibitors might depend not only on programmed death ligand-1 expression and the ratio of tumor mutational burden, but also on other factors, such as the tumor microenvironment. Evaluation of more cases is required to identify biomarkers that define the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Zufällig entdeckter Barrett-Ösophagus nicht weniger risikobehaftet

Fälle von Barrett-Ösophagus, die bei einer ÖGD als Zufallsbefund zutage treten, sind keine Seltenheit und auch keineswegs harmloser als Barrett-Metaplasien, die bei gezieltem Screening oder Surveillance-Untersuchungen entdeckt werden. 

Junge Brustkrebspatientinnen zum Durchhalten motivieren

Patientinnen, die in jungen Jahren an Hormonrezeptor-positivem Brustkrebs erkranken, neigen dazu, die adjuvante endokrine Therapie auszusetzen oder abzubrechen. Die schlechte Therapiepersistenz scheint die Rückkehr des Tumors zu begünstigen.

Mehr Nierenkrebs bei regelmäßiger Einnahme von NSAR?

In der Allgemeinbevölkerung ist die wiederholte Verordnung von nichtsteroidalen Antirheumatika (NSAR) mit einem leicht erhöhten Nierenkrebsrisiko assoziiert. Dieses Ergebnis einer schwedischen Registerstudie ist allerdings mit einigen Fragezeichen zu versehen. 

Hochrisiko-Spinaliom am besten mit der Mohs-Chirurgie entfernen

Die Mohs-Chirurgie ist zwar mit mehr Aufwand verbunden als die herkömmliche Exzision; für die Versorgung kutaner Hochrisiko-Plattenepithelkarzinome lohnt sich die zeitintensive Technik aber in jedem Fall. Laut einer aktuellen Studie sinkt im Vergleich das Sterberisiko.
