Abstract
Extramammary Paget disease (EMPD) is a rare cutaneous intraepithelial adenocarcinoma, which is mostly distributed in areas with sweat gland cells and mainly occurs in the anogenital skin of women. The male genital tract involvement is extremely rare and often occurs with other malignant tumors. Paget's disease in the scrotum with sweat gland carcinoma is even rarer. In the first report of scrotal endocrine sweat gland carcinoma associated with Paget disease by Saidi et al. in 1997, no more than 50 cases have been reported in the relevant research worldwide. Early EMPD combined with sweat gland carcinoma is mainly surgical treatment, and there is no standard treatment plan for advanced EMPD with sweat gland carcinoma. Previous article has reported that chemotherapy such as paclitaxel, fluorouracil, platinum, and vinblastine and molecular targeted therapy based on the genetic test results of patients have certain efficacy. Here, we report a 79-year-old male case diagnosed with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2) overexpression, which was effectively controlled by chemotherapy and anti-HER-2 treatment such as pyrotinib.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the correlation between tumor size, tumor location, and prognosis in patients with early-stage endometrial cancer (EC) receiving adjuvant radiotherapy. METHODS Data of patients who had been treated for stage I-II EC from March 1999 to September 2017 in 13 tertiary hospitals in China was screened. Cox regression analysis was performed to investigate associations between tumor size, tumor location, and other clinical or pathological factors with cancer-specific survival (CSS) and distant metastasis failure-free survival (DMFS). The relationship between tumor size as a continuous variable and prognosis was demonstrated by restricted cubic splines. Prognostic models were constructed as nomograms and evaluated by Harrell's C-index, calibration curves and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. RESULTS The study cohort comprised 805 patients with a median follow-up of 61 months and a median tumor size of 3.0 cm (range 0.2-15.0 cm). Lower uterine segment involvement (LUSI) was found in 243 patients (30.2%). Tumor size and LUSI were identified to be independent prognostic factors for CSS. Further, tumor size was an independent predictor of DMFS. A broadly positive relationship between poor survival and tumor size as a continuous variable was visualized in terms of hazard ratios. Nomograms constructed and evaluated for CSS and DMFS had satisfactory calibration curves and C-indexes of 0.847 and 0.716, respectively. The area under the ROC curves for 3- and 5-year ROC ranged from 0.718 to 0.890. CONCLUSION Tumor size and LUSI are independent prognostic factors in early-stage EC patients who have received radiotherapy. Integrating these variables into prognostic models would improve predictive ability.

Abstract
Extramammary Paget's disease is a rare skin cancer that usually arises from the secretory cells of the apocrine glands. In most cases, an extramammary Paget's tumor occurs as a single intraepithelial form not associated with another cancer, although rarely, it may be associated with other loco-regional or distant cancer. It is generally slow-growing and diagnosed in situ. Most often, surgical excision with wide margins is curative, with the local recurrence rate being lower after the Mohs micrographic surgery technique. Nonetheless, relapses are frequent. In the metastatic setting, there are no treatment guidelines or standard therapies; additionally, the experience is limited to a few individual cases, and the efficacy of conventional chemotherapies is not well-defined. Moreover, chemotherapy can also have serious side effects; therefore, there is a need to identify more effective and less toxic therapies. In this case report, we have observed a long-lasting complete response with anti-HER2 plus paclitaxel.

Abstract
Background Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is a rare cutaneous malignancy, commonly affecting the external genitalia and perianal area of the elderly with unclear pathogenesis. Metabolomics provides a novel perspective for uncovering the metabolic mechanisms of a verity of cancers. Materials and methods Here, we explored the metabolome of EMPD using an untargeted strategy. In order to further investigate the potential relationship between metabolites and gene expression, we re-analyzed the gene expression microarray data (GSE117285) using differential expression analysis and functional enrichment analyses. Results Results showed that a total of 896 metabolites were identified and 87 metabolites including 37 upregulated and 50 downregulated significantly in EMPD were sought out. In the following feature selection analyses, four metabolites, namely, cyclopentyl fentanyl-d5, LPI 17:0, guanosine-3',5'-cyclic monophosphate, kynurenine (KYN, high in EMPD) were identified by both random forest and support vector machine analyses. We then identified 1,079 dysfunctional genes: 646 upregulated and 433 downregulated in EMPD. Specifically, the tryptophan-degrading enzyme including indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase-1 (IDO1) and tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO2) were also increased. Generally, cancers exhibit a high expression of IDO1 and TDO2 to catabolize tryptophan, generating abundant KYN. Moreover, we also noticed the abnormal activation of sustaining proliferative signaling in EMPD. Conclusion In conclusion, this study was the first to reveal the metabolome profile of EMPD. Our results demonstrate that IDO1/TDO2-initialized KYN metabolic pathway may play a vital role in the development and progression of EMPD, which may serve as a potential therapeutic target for treating EMPD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence regarding long-term therapeutic outcomes and disease-specific survival (DSS) in Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is limited. OBJECTIVES To assess the DSS and outcomes of surgical and nonsurgical therapeutic modalities in a large cohort of EMPD patients. METHODS Retrospective chart review of EMPD patients from 20 Spanish tertiary care hospitals. RESULTS Data on 249 patients with a median follow-up of 60 months were analyzed. The estimated 5-, 10-, and 15-year DSS was 95.9%, 92.9%, and 88.5%, respectively. A significantly lower DSS was observed in patients showing deep dermal invasion (≥1 mm) or metastatic disease (P < .05). A ≥50% reduction in EMPD lesion size was achieved in 100% and 75.3% of patients treated with surgery and topical therapies, respectively. Tumor-free resection margins were obtained in 42.4% of the patients after wide local excision (WLE). The 5-year recurrence-free survival after Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS), WLE with tumor-free margins, WLE with positive margins, radiotherapy, and topical treatments was 63.0%, 51.4%, 20.4%, 30.1%, and 20.8%, respectively. LIMITATIONS Retrospective design. CONCLUSIONS EMPD is usually a chronic condition with favorable prognosis. MMS represents the therapeutic alternative with the greatest efficacy for the disease. Recurrence rates in patients with positive margins after WLE are similar to the ones observed in patients treated with topical agents.

Abstract
Sentinel lymph node biopsy is increasingly used to detect subclinical nodal metastases in extramammary Paget disease. We performed a comprehensive systematic review of the literature to further explore the role of sentinel lymph node biopsy in extramammary Paget disease. Five databases were searched for relevant terms. Articles were included if they were in English and presented primary data on at least one patient with extramammary Paget disease who underwent sentinel lymph node biopsy in the absence of lymphadenopathy or known metastatic disease. Twenty-eight articles were included, with 366 subjects. Seventy-seven sentinel node biopsies (21.2%) were positive, including 12 in which the primary tumor had microinvasion (15.6%) and 56 with deep invasion (72.7%). Of the positive cases, 11 (14.3%) had no further treatment, 54 (70.1%) underwent nodal dissection, 4 (5.2%) were treated with systemic agents, and 1 (1.3%) had radiation. After a mean follow up of 24 months, 9 subjects with a positive lymph node biopsy experienced nodal recurrence (11.7%), 15 had distant metastases (19.5%), and 13 died of the disease (16.9%). In conclusion, invasive extramammary Paget disease is strongly associated with poor outcomes including nodal metastasis, distant metastasis, and disease specific death. Sentinel lymph node biopsy is a useful tool to screen for subclinical nodal metastases in invasive disease, and can be used to help guide clinical management.

Abstract
Introduction Skin tissue contamination within transcutaneous visceral organ biopsies is seldom found. We encountered a rare case of extramammary Paget's disease incidentally diagnosed by prostate biopsy during active surveillance for prostate cancer. Case presentation A 71-year-old Japanese patient was diagnosed with prostate cancer, and active surveillance was selected. After 1 year, prostate biopsy was performed by a transperitoneal approach, and 16 biopsy cores were taken. One biopsy core contained skin tissue showing extramammary Paget's disease. Careful skin examination confirmed the presence of an extramammary Paget's disease lesion in the left perineum, and curative surgical resection was performed. Recurrence and metastasis did not occur after 6 months of follow-up. Conclusion Although the perianal region is a common site of extramammary Paget's disease, early-stage extramammary Paget's disease is often asymptomatic. Thus, during a transcutaneous biopsy, it is important to consider the appearance of the skin and the pathological features of migrating skin tissue.

The Clinical Characteristics and Prognostic Factors of Primary Extramammary Paget's Disease Treated with Surgery in Anogenital Regions: A Large Population Study from the SEER Database and Our Centre. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12020582.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is a rare malignant cutaneous tumour that is commonly located in anogenital regions. The diagnosis of the disease is always delayed, and treatment is usually troublesome. This study aims to summarise the clinicopathological characteristics and the risk factors of prognosis for EMPD in anogenital regions, potentially providing evidence for the diagnosis and treatment of anogenital EMPD. METHODS 688 patients were sourced from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) program between 1992 and 2021. In total, 176 participants from our centre from between 2011 and 2021 were included to investigate the characteristics and prognosis for EMPD in anogenital regions. RESULTS From the SEER program data, patient age of 65 years or older, metastasis of lymph nodes, Spanish-Hispanic-Latino race, diameter exceeding 10cm and lesions located anally were revealed as independent risk factors for shorter cancer-specific survival (CSS). However, the data from our centre highlighted that metastasis of lymph nodes and tumours extending through the epidermis are independent risk factors of shortened progression-free survival (PFS) and CSS of anogenital EMPD. CONCLUSION This synthesised study revealed that some characteristics are regarded as risk factors for poor clinical prognosis, which have potential value in formulating more normative and effective strategies for patients with EMPD in anogenital regions.

Abstract
BackgroundExtramammary Paget’ s disease (EMPD) is a rare cutaneous malignant tumor, and the prognostic factors associated with penoscrotal EMPD remains unclear. The purpose of this study is to investigate prognostic factors and construct nomograms to predict the outcome of patients with EMPD located in the penis or scrotum.MethodsFrom the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database, we extracted 95 patients with primary EMPD located in the penis or scrotum as the training cohort. Forty-nine penoscrotal EMPD patients were included from two medical centers as the external validation cohort. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression model were applied to investigating risk factors of cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS). Based on the results of multivariate Cox regression analysis, the nomograms were constructed for predicting CSS and OS of patients with penoscrotal EMPD. The concordance index (C-index), receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and calibration curves were applied to evaluate the practicability and accuracy of the nomograms.ResultsIn the training cohort, multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that marital status and tumor stage were independent factors of CSS, and marital status, tumor stage and surgery are associated with OS independently in patients with penoscrotal EMPD. Based on these results, we developed nomograms to predict CSS and OS respectively. The C-index values were 0.778 for CSS, and 0.668 for OS in the training set, which displayed the good discriminations. In the external validation set, the C-index values were 0.945 for CSS, and 0.703 for OS. The areas under the curve (AUC) values of nomogram predicting 1-, 3-, and 5-year CSS were 0.815, 0.833, and 0.861 respectively, and 0.839, 0.654, and 0.667 for nomogram predicting 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS respectively. In the validation set, the AUC values of nomogram predicting 1-, 3-, and 5-year CSS were 0.944, 0.896, and 0.896 respectively, and 0.777, 0.762 and 0.692 for nomogram predicting 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS respectively. Additionally, the internal calibration curves also proved that our nomograms have good accuracy.ConclusionsBy incorporating marital status, tumor stage and/or surgery, our nomograms can efficiently predict CSS and OS of patients with penoscrotal EMPD.

Abstract
Extramammary Paget’s disease (EMPD) is a rare dermatologic malignancy affecting regions with a dense population of apocrine glands within the intraepithelial tissue, including the vulva, perineum, axilla, scrotum, and penile regions. Clinical presentation varies from being asymptomatic to burning, painful, and pruritic lesions. As a result, it could be misdiagnosed for other dermatologic diseases. Our case report discloses a patient with an erythematous pruritic lesion that was initially treated with topical antifungal therapy. After failed treatment, a biopsy revealed EMPD of the scrotum. With no standard guidelines in the treatment of EMPD, there are different treatment modalities for the disease. Mohs micrographic surgery currently is the preferred treatment modality presenting with the lowest rates of recurrence. With early diagnosis and treatment, the five-year survival rate for patients with primary EMPD is 87%. Therefore, there should be a high level of clinical suspicion for EMPD in patients presenting with pruritic lesions in areas with apocrine glands that have failed initial medical treatment.

Case Report: Prolonged clinical benefit with sequential trastuzumab-containing treatments in a patient with advanced extramammary Paget disease of the groin. Front Oncol 2022; 12:925551. [PMID: 36059635 PMCID: PMC9433574 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.925551] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2022] [Accepted: 07/22/2022] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Extramammary Paget disease (EMPD) is a rare form of cutaneous, intraepithelial adenocarcinoma, which typically presents itself as an erythematous plaque originating from apocrine-gland rich regions, such as the vulva, the perianal region, the scrotum, the penis, or the axilla. EMPD patients typically have a good prognosis, with expected 5-year survival of 60%–92%, but it is estimated that about one-third of EMPD patients will develop lymph node or distant metastases. Treatment approaches for EMPD include locoregional therapies such as broad surgical resection, radiotherapy, or topical imiquimod, when the disease is localized, and chemotherapy and biological agents for advanced EMPD. We report the case of a 58-year-old man diagnosed with locally advanced, symptomatic HER2-overexpressing, AR-positive EMPD, who achieved long-term tumor control with a sequence of several trastuzumab-based treatments (more than 30 months with second-line carboplatin plus paclitaxel plus trastuzumab followed by trastuzumab maintenance; 9 months for third-line vinorelbine plus trastuzumab). Even if it is reported that AR expression occurs concomitantly with HER2 overexpression in more than half of the cases of EMPD, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report describing androgen receptor blockade therapy in combination with an anti-HER2 agent. Our patient did not benefit from androgen receptor blockade in combination with trastuzumab, thus suggesting that AR expression may simply reflect an intrinsic characteristic of the EMPD cell of origin, rather than tumor dependence upon AR signaling. Given the reported sensibility to anti-HER2 therapy, also new antibody drug conjugates targeting HER2 are worth exploring in the management of advanced EMPD.

Value of pseudopod sign on high-frequency ultrasound in predicting the pathological invasion of extramammary Paget's disease lesions. J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol 2022; 36:1235-1245. [PMID: 35344636 DOI: 10.1111/jdv.18104] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2021] [Accepted: 03/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/07/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Vertical invasion of extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is associated with poor prognosis. The usual vertical invasion route is directly downward or along the skin appendages. High-frequency ultrasound (HFUS) can be used to measure the EMPD lesion thickness, and visualize the pseudopod extensions due to skin appendage involvement. It is a non-invasive method for evaluating the extent of vertical invasion in EMPD. OBJECTIVE To investigate the value of HFUS in predicting the extent of vertical invasion in EMPD. METHODS In this retrospective study, 85 patients with EMPD were divided into two groups based on the pathology: invasive EMPD (iEMPD) group (n = 13) and in situ EMPD group (n = 72). The clinical and HFUS features of both the groups were analyzed. The different types of pseudopodia morphology on HFUS were as follows: no pseudopodia, irregular bottom, small sphere, short strip, long strip, vase shape, and nodular convex. These were further stratified into low-risk and high-risk levels. RESULTS The clinical features were comparable between the two groups (P > .05). There were significant differences between the two groups in the HFUS features (lesion thickness, lesion shape, bottom shape, layer involvement, pseudopodia morphology, and color Doppler blood flow signal; all P < .05). The distribution of the pseudopodia morphology types in the in situ EMPD and iEMPD groups, was as follows: no pseudopodia, 30/72 and 0/13; irregular bottom, 5/72 and 0/13; small sphere, 5/72 and 0/13; short strip, 21/72 and 0/13; long strip, 8/72 and 3/13; vase shape, 3/72 and 3/13; and nodular convex, 0/72 and 7/13 (P < .05 for all). The sensitivity and specificity of high-risk pseudopodia in identifying iEMPD were 100% and 84.7%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS HFUS provides morphological information regarding EMPD lesions. Risk stratification for pseudopodia can help to distinguish between iEMPD and in situ EMPD lesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The outcome of extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is poor when it progresses to metastasis because of the lack of effective systemic therapies. Recently, CDK4-targeted therapy has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic target for some cancers. The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of CDK4 expression on the survival of patients with EMPD. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 110 patients with EMPD. We conducted immunohistochemical analysis of CDK4 and cyclin D1 expression, and assessed the association between their expression and survival. RESULTS Most EMPD lesions (108/110, 98.2%) were positive for CDK4 staining and there was a positive correlation between CDK4 expression and cyclin D1 expression (r = 0.54, p < 0.001). Tumor thickness (p = 0.0003) and the presence of regional lymph node metastasis (p = 0.015) were significantly associated with high CDK4 expression. Regarding invasive EMPD, the multivariate analysis did not show the correlation between the expression of CDK4/cyclin D1 and survival outcomes (HR: 3.14, p = 0.14). CONCLUSION The overexpression of CDK4 was identified as a major risk factor for disease progression. CDK4-targeted therapy could thus be a novel treatment option for unresectable EMPD.

Abstract
Extramammary Paget’s disease (EMPD) is an intra-epidermal adenocarcinoma. Till now, the mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of scrotal EMPD is poorly known. This present study aims to explore the knowledge of molecular mechanism of scrotal EMPD by identifying the hub genes and candidate drugs using integrated bioinformatics approaches. Firstly, the microarray datasets (GSE117285) were downloaded from the GEO database and then analyzed using GEO2R in order to obtain differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Moreover, hub genes were identified on the basis of their degree of connectivity using Cytohubba plugin of cytoscape tool. Finally, GEPIA and DGIdb were used for the survival analysis and selection of therapeutic candidates, respectively. A total of 786 DEGs were identified, of which 10 genes were considered as hub genes on the basis of the highest degree of connectivity. After the survival analysis of ten hub genes, a total of 5 genes were found to be altered in EMPD patients. Furthermore, 14 drugs of CHEK1, CCNA2, and CDK1 were found to have therapeutic potential against EMPD. This study updates the information and yields a new perspective in the context of understanding the pathogenesis of EMPD. In future, hub genes and candidate drugs might be capable of improving the personalized detection and therapies for EMPD.

Abstract
Background Extramammary Paget’s disease (EMPD) sometimes spreads from the skin to mucosal areas, and curative surgical excision of these areas is challenging. The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of mucosal involvement and surgical treatment on the survival of patients with EMPD. Methods We conducted a retrospective review of 217 patients with EMPD. We also assessed the associations between tumor involvement in boundary areas (anal canal, external urethral meatus, vaginal introitus), prognostic factors, and survival in 198 patients treated with curative surgery. Results Of 217 patients, 75 (34.6%) had mucosal boundary area involvement. Lesions in these areas were associated with frequent lymphovascular invasion (p = 0.042), lymph node metastasis (p = 0.0002), incomplete excision (p < 0.0001), and locoregional recurrence (p < 0.0001). Boundary area involvement was an independent prognostic factor associated with disease-specific survival, per multivariate analysis (HR: 11.87, p = 0.027). Incomplete excision was not significantly correlated with disease-specific survival (HR: 1.05, p = 0.96). Conclusion Boundary area tumor involvement was a major risk factor for incomplete excision, local recurrence, and poor survival outcomes. However, incomplete removal of primary tumors was not significantly associated with poor prognosis. A less invasive surgical approach for preserving anogenital and urinary functions may be acceptable as the first-line treatment for resectable EMPD.

Abstract
The efficacy and survival impact of conventional chemotherapies for metastatic extramammary Paget’s disease (EMPD) have not been fully elucidated. This study examined the long-term outcome of chemotherapy for this indication. We conducted a retrospective review of 21 patients with distant metastatic EMPD (14 patients treated with chemotherapy and 7 patients treated without chemotherapy). The response rate of chemotherapy and patient survival were statistically analyzed. Among the 14 patients treated with chemotherapy, 12, 1, and 1 patient received docetaxel, paclitaxel, and low-dose 5-fluorouracil plus cisplatin, respectively, as the first-line treatment. The response rate was 50.0% (7/14), and the disease control rate was 64.3% (9/14). The median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 16.8 and 27.9 months, respectively. Multivariate analyses revealed that chemotherapy was a significant factor for prolonged PFS (hazard ratio (HR) 0.22, p = 0.038) but not for OS (HR = 1.71, p = 0.54). Ten patients (71.4%) had severe (grade 3 or 4) hematological adverse events. Although conventional chemotherapy improved PFS, we failed to show a significantly improved OS. Considering the frequent adverse events of conventional chemotherapy, targeted therapy may become a mainstay for the treatment of metastatic EMPD.
