Abstract

Hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC, also known as multiple cutaneous and uterine leiomyomatosis, MCUL) is a highly penetrant autosomal dominant tumor predisposition syndrome characterized by benign leiomyomas of the skin and the uterus. Renal cell carcinomas, occurring in a subset of the HLRCC families, are exceptionally aggressive. Therefore careful, frequent surveillance strategies are recommended. Association of malignant smooth-muscle tumors, leiomyosarcomas, with HLRCC has been observed but the risk appears to be smaller than initially estimated. To date inactivating heterozygous mutations in the fumarate hydratase (FH, fumarase) gene, predisposing to HLRCC, have been found in approximately 180 families worldwide. The most extensively studied hypothesis on molecular mechanisms of HLRCC tumorigenesis is activation of the hypoxia pathway due to aberrant stabilization of the HIF1 transcription factor. HIF1 regulates transcription of genes relevant for vascularization, glucose transport and glycolysis, processes that facilitate tumor growth. However, additional mechanisms underlying tumor formation are likely to exist.

Adjuvante Immuntherapie verlängert Leben bei RCC

25.04.2024 Nierenkarzinom Nachrichten

Nun gibt es auch Resultate zum Gesamtüberleben: Eine adjuvante Pembrolizumab-Therapie konnte in einer Phase-3-Studie das Leben von Menschen mit Nierenzellkarzinom deutlich verlängern. Die Sterberate war im Vergleich zu Placebo um 38% geringer.

Alectinib verbessert krankheitsfreies Überleben bei ALK-positivem NSCLC

25.04.2024 NSCLC Nachrichten

Das Risiko für Rezidiv oder Tod von Patienten und Patientinnen mit reseziertem ALK-positivem NSCLC ist unter einer adjuvanten Therapie mit dem Tyrosinkinase-Inhibitor Alectinib signifikant geringer als unter platinbasierter Chemotherapie.

Bei Senioren mit Prostatakarzinom auf Anämie achten!

24.04.2024 DGIM 2024 Nachrichten

Patienten, die zur Behandlung ihres Prostatakarzinoms eine Androgendeprivationstherapie erhalten, entwickeln nicht selten eine Anämie. Wer ältere Patienten internistisch mitbetreut, sollte auf diese Nebenwirkung achten.

ICI-Therapie in der Schwangerschaft wird gut toleriert

Müssen sich Schwangere einer Krebstherapie unterziehen, rufen Immuncheckpointinhibitoren offenbar nicht mehr unerwünschte Wirkungen hervor als andere Mittel gegen Krebs.
