Abstract
BACKGROUND In COLUMBUS, treatment with encorafenib plus binimetinib in patients with advanced BRAF-mutant melanoma showed improved progression-free and overall survival with favourable tolerability compared to vemurafenib treatment. Here, results on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) are presented. METHODS COLUMBUS was a two-part, open-label, randomised, phase III study in patients with BRAF-mutant melanoma. In PART-I, 577 patients were randomised (1:1:1) to encorafenib plus binimetinib, encorafenib or vemurafenib. The primary objective was to assess progression-free survival. As a secondary objective, HRQoL was assessed by the EQ-5D, the EORTC QLQ-C30 and the FACT-M questionnaires. Furthermore, time to definitive 10% deterioration was estimated with a Kaplan-Meier analysis and differences in mean scores between groups were calculated with a mixed-effect model for repeated measures. Hospitalisation rate and the impact of hospitalisation on HRQoL were also assessed. RESULTS Patients receiving the combination treatment showed improvement of their FACT-M and EORTC QLQ-C30 global health status scores, compared to those receiving vemurafenib (post-baseline score differences: 3.03 [p < 0.0001] for FACT M and 5.28 [p = 0.0042] for EORTC QLQ-C30), indicative of a meaningful change in patient's status. Furthermore, a delay in the deterioration of QoL was observed in non-hospitalised patients compared to hospitalised patients (hazard ratio [95% CI]: 1.16 [0.80; 1.68] for EORTC QLQ-C30 and 1.27 [0.81; 1.99] for FACT-M) and a risk reduction of 10% deterioration, favoured the combination in both groups. CONCLUSION The improved efficacy of encorafenib plus binimetinib compared to vemurafenib, translates into a positive impact on the perceived health status as assessed by the HRQoL questionnaires. The study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01909453 and EudraCT number 2013-001176-38.

Abstract
We report a 74-year-old woman with histologically confirmed neuroendocrine carcinoma of the nasal cavity disclosing a syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH). Since SIADH is a paraneoplastic syndrome commonly associated with small cell lung cancer, an extra-pulmonary localisation of neuroendocrine carcinoma has to be investigated.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES A measurement of cell DNA content would be highly useful in determining the malignant nature of thyroid tumours in cases without distinctive features such as metastases, capsule invasion or emboli. Abnormal cell ploidy can be recognized with flow cytometry, but it is not known whether such results have diagnostic value. We therefore compared--in a double blind prospective study--the results of flow cytometry and pathologic diagnosis in fresh tumoural and non-tumoural thyroid cells. METHODS Fifty unselected cold thyroid nodules were obtained from 50 consecutive patients (40 women, 10 men; age 18-80 years; mean 46) who underwent surgery within a 6 month period. Surrounding non-tumoural tissue was also obtained in 46 of them. Cell ploidy and the percentage of cells in each cell phase was determined with flow cytometry for both tumoural and nontumoural tissues. Two pathologists, unaware of the flow cytometric results, independently established the histologic diagnosis according to the WHO classification. RESULTS The pathologic diagnosis was carcinoma in 7 cases (papillary carcinoma 6, vesicular carcinoma 1) and benign adenomas in 43 (29 macrovesicular, 11 microvesicular, 3 oncocytal). All the non-tumoural tissue samples were diploid. All 7 carcinomas were diploid and 10 of the 43 benign adenomas were aneuploid (4 near-diploid, 3 hyperploid, 1 near-tetraploid, 2 multiploid). The mean proliferation index was increased in 5 diploid tumours. CONCLUSION These findings confirm that cell ploidy measured by flow cytometry is of no diagnostic value in the thyroid gland. It was also revealed that aneuploidy in adenomas may be related to tissue rearrangements of undetermined prognostic significance.

Abstract
Immunological parameters following chemoimmunotherapy combination were studied in 31 patients with metastatic malignant melanoma. They received Cisplatin (100 mg/m2) on day 1 and 28, recombinant IL-2 (rIL-2; Eurocetus) in continuous infusion from day 3 to 6, 17 to 21, 31 to 34 and 45 to 49. Interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha; Roche) was given subcutaneously three times weekly. No significant change in CD4/CD8 ratio at onset or during treatment was observed between responder (n = 19) and non-responder (n = 12) patients. Regarding the IL-2 receptor (IL-2R) study, the percentage of cells expressing Tac (p55) receptor did not change either for healthy volunteers (n = 20) and patients before any therapy, or between responder and non-responder patients. Concerning serum soluble IL-2R shedding before therapy, we observed a significant increase (P = 0.001) in patients (79 +/- 40 pM) compared with healthy donors (30 +/- 15 pM), but no significant variation was seen between responder and non-responder patients. In contrast, during the treatment, the soluble IL-2R level increased in both groups but, interestingly, a significant difference was found between responder and non-responder patients from day 7 (P < 0.05) to day 21 (P < or = 0.01), suggesting that the cells from non-responder may be slower in becoming stimulated. This finding is the most striking point of our study and suggests that sIL-2R might be an early predictive factor of the clinical response as obtained by logistic regression (P = 0.0063). Therefore patients with a serum soluble IL-2R level greater than 250 pM at day 21 have a 12-fold more chance of undergoing a clinical response.

Abstract
Abstract
Human peripheral blood monocytes, prelabeled with [3H]arachidonic acid (AA), release labeled eicosanoids in response to soluble or particulate stimuli. Treatment with 12-O-tetradecanoate phorbol-13 acetate (20 nM), calcium ionophores, A23187 (2 microM) or ionomycin (1 microM), or serum-treated zymosan (300 micrograms) resulted in production of cyclooxygenase (CO) metabolites, 6-keto-PG-F1 alpha, thromboxane-B2, PGE2, PGF2 alpha, PGD2, PGB2, 12-L-hydroxy-5,8,10-heptadecatrienoic acid; 15-lipoxygenase products, including 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (HETE); and unmetabolized AA. Labeled 5-lipoxygenase (LO) products, 5-HETE, and leukotriene-B4 were detected only after exposure to ionophore or serum-treated zymosan. The calcium dependence of 5-LO activation was confirmed in experiments where calcium was omitted from the incubation medium, and EGTA (0.5 mM) was added, as well as by direct measurement of increased intracellular calcium in phagocytosing monocytes. Combined or sequential treatment with two stimuli increased the release of unmetabolized AA without a commensurate augmentation of labeled metabolites, indicating that release of CO and LO metabolites does not necessarily reflect the extent of phospholipase activation. Quantitation of individual eicosanoids by RIA confirmed results by using radionuclides. These studies show the following. Activation of human monocyte phospholipase may be regulated by at least two pathways, one "12-O-tetradecanoate phorbol-13 acetate-like," which is largely independent of calcium, and another which is mediated by increased intracellular Ca2+ ("ionophore-like"). "Physiologic" stimulation of monocyte arachidonate release, such as that seen accompanying phagocytosis of opsonized particles, may occur via either a calcium-sensitive or calcium-insensitive pathway or both. Calcium may regulate eicosanoid formation at the level of phospholipase or 5-LO. Free AA, CO products, and 12- or 15-LO products are ordinarily released after phagocytosis, but leukotriene-B4, 5-HETE, or other 5-LO metabolites are produced only under conditions where calcium concentrations are optimal.
