Abstract

Background

Increasing evidence suggests that intratumor heterogeneity of solid tumors characterized by textural features on 18-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) images is associated with response to chemoradiotherapy (CRT) and survival. The current study aimed to determine whether a similar relationship exists in hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPSCC).

Methods

This study investigated 27 patients with HPSCC who underwent cisplatin-based induction chemotherapy followed by definitive CRT underwent pretreatment 18F-FDG PET/CT. Standardized uptake value (SUV), metabolic tumor volume (MTV), and textural features (coarseness, busyness, complexity, and contrast) of primary tumors were measured. Patients were classified as nonresponders or responders according to the response evaluation criteria in solid tumors. The capacity of each parameter to classify response was assessed using the Mann–Whitney U test. Cox-proportional hazard models were used to identify variables associated with disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS).

Results

Of 70 patients, 58 (83 %) had complete or partial response after CRT. Responders showed lower maximum SUV (P = 0.037), lower MTV (P = 0.039), lower coarseness (P < 0.001), and busyness (P = 0.015) compared with nonresponders. Multivariate analysis showed that high coarseness (P = 0.001, hazard ratio [HR] 5.65; 95 % confidence interval [CI] 2.12–15.07) and busyness (P = 0.045; HR 2.56; 95 % CI 1.02–6.42) were independently associated with poor DFS, and that high coarseness (P = 0.013; HR 2.48; 95 % CI 1.21–5.09) was independently associated with poor OS.

Conclusion

Abnormal coarseness in baseline 18F-FDG PET scans may be useful for predicting response and survival after CRT in HPSCC patients.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

CME: 2 Punkte

Prof. Dr. med. Gregor Antoniadis Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.

S2e-Leitlinie „Distale Radiusfraktur“

CME: 2 Punkte

Dr. med. Benjamin Meyknecht, PD Dr. med. Oliver Pieske Das Webinar S2e-Leitlinie „Distale Radiusfraktur“ beschäftigt sich mit Fragen und Antworten zu Diagnostik und Klassifikation sowie Möglichkeiten des Ausschlusses von Zusatzverletzungen. Die Referenten erläutern, welche Frakturen konservativ behandelt werden können und wie. Das Webinar beantwortet die Frage nach aktuellen operativen Therapiekonzepten: Welcher Zugang, welches Osteosynthesematerial? Auf was muss bei der Nachbehandlung der distalen Radiusfraktur geachtet werden?
