Abstract
BACKGROUND NRG Oncology/NSABP trial B-40 tested the impact of adding bevacizumab (bev) to neoadjuvant chemotherapy for operable breast cancer. Secondary endpoints included rates of surgical complications after surgery in patients who did or did not receive bev. METHODS A total of 1206 women with HER2-negative operable breast cancer were randomly assigned to receive one of three different docetaxel-plus-anthracycline-based regimens, without or with bev (15 mg/kg every 3 weeks) for the first 6 of 8 cycles and for 10 doses postoperatively. Surgical complications were assessed from date of surgery through 24 months following study entry. RESULTS Early surgical complications were significantly more frequent in the bev group (25.4 vs. 18.9%; trend test p = 0.008), but most were grade 1-2. Early noninfectious wound dehiscences were infrequent and not significantly different (5.4 vs. 3.1%; trend test p = 0.15). Long-term noninfectious wound complications were significantly higher for patients receiving bev (11.8 vs. 5.1%; trend test p = 0.0007), but the incidence of grade ≥3 wound dehiscence was low in both groups (<1%). Among 193 patients undergoing expander or implant reconstructions, 19 (19.6%) of 97 in the bev-receiving group versus 10 (10.4%) of 96 in the non-bev group had grade ≥3 complications (Pearson, p = 0.11). CONCLUSIONS Overall, adding bev increased surgical complications, but most serious complications were not significantly increased. In particular, the need for surgical intervention in patients undergoing breast reconstruction with prosthetic implants was higher with bev but was not statistically significantly different. With precautions, bev can be used safely perioperatively in patients undergoing surgery for breast cancer.

HPB (Oxford) 2013; 15:976-84. [PMID: 23472855 PMCID: PMC3843616 DOI: 10.1111/hpb.12079] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2012] [Accepted: 01/21/2013] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Volumetry is standard method for evaluating the volumes of the right liver (RL), left liver (LL), left lateral segments (LLS), total liver (TL) and future liver remnant (FLR). The aim of this study was to report a simple technique based on measurements of liver angles (angulometry) that can be used to predict liver ratios. METHODS Fifty computed tomography (CT) scans obtained in subjects with normal liver were studied. Four CT scan levels were preselected: level 1 passed by the upper part of the hepatic veins; level 2 passed by the left portal vein branch division; level 3 passed by the right portal vein branch division, and level 4 passed by the gallbladder bed. Left and right tangent lines passing the liver edges were drawn and joined to the centre of the vertebra defining the TL angle. Two lines through, respectively, the plane of the middle hepatic vein and the left portal branches determined the angles of the RL, LL and LLS. Volumetric and angulometric data obtained on levels 2 and 3 in 50 different subjects were compared. RESULTS Level 2 CT scans represented the most accurate way of obtaining angulometric measurements. The mean ± standard deviation (SD) angles of the TL and LL were 134 ± 12 ° and 55 ± 12 °, respectively. The mean ± SD percentages of the TL represented by the LL in angulometry and volumetry were 38 ± 7% and 36 ± 6%, respectively (non-significant difference). The mean ± SD percentages of the TL represented by the LLS in angulometry and volumetry were 25 ± 4% and 20 ± 3%, respectively (P < 0.05). The mean ± SD overestimation of the percentage of the TL represented by the LLS in angulometry was 2.7 ± 7.0%. CONCLUSIONS Angulometry is a simple and accurate technique that can be used to estimate the ratio of the FLR to TL volume on one or two CT (or magnetic resonance imaging) slices. It can be helpful for clinicians, especially before right or extended right hepatectomy and after right portal vein occlusion techniques.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the safety and activity of cetuximab in the pre-operative treatment of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). PATIENTS AND METHODS Cetuximab was administered for 2 weeks before surgery to 33 treatment-naïve patients selected for primary surgical treatment. Tumour biopsies, 2-[fluorine-18]-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose positron emission tomography ((18)FDG-PET) and imaging were carried out at baseline and before surgery. The primary aim of the study was safety and the secondary aims included metabolical, radiological and pathological tumour response. Five untreated patients were included as controls. RESULTS Cetuximab given 24 h before surgery was safe. Ninety percent of patients had (18)FDG-PET partial response (EORTC guideline) in the cetuximab group versus 0% in the control group. Delta maximal standardized uptake values (ΔSUVmax) were correlated with tumour cellularity on the surgical specimens (P < 0.0001). For patients with ΔSUVmax less than -25% or less than -50%, Ki67 was significantly decreased by cetuximab (P = 0.01 and 0.003). Cetuximab induced down-regulation of pEGFR (P = 0.0004) and pERK (P = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS Short-course pre-operative administration of cetuximab is safe and shows a high rate of (18)FDG-PET response. (18)FDG-PET response was correlated with residual tumour cellularity suggesting that (18)FDG-PET deserves further investigation as a potential early marker of cetuximab activity in SCCHN.
