Abstract
Melanoma is most associated with cancer of the skin. However, a small subset of these melanomas can be a primary malignancy of other mucosal membranes. A 55-year-old male presented to the gastroenterologist with 1 year of symptoms typical of colon cancer including bloating, abdominal pain and weight loss. He underwent colonoscopy and a mass was seen in the transverse colon that was later proven melanoma. A PET CT scan showed this was his only focus of disease. He then underwent a laparoscopic-assisted extended right hemicolectomy. He had an uneventful postoperative course. He was thoroughly examined for other sources of melanoma such as cutaneous, anal and uveal sources. He has recovered well at home and is receiving adjuvant pembrolizumab immunotherapy. Mucosal primary melanomas have a worse 5-year survival than primary cutaneous melanomas. A multi-disciplinary approach is necessary to treat and properly diagnose these malignancies.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the GI tract. Despite this, they rarely occur, accounting for only 1% to 3% of all gastrointestinal tumors. This report describes a 53-year-old female patient with surgical history of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) who presented with right upper quadrant abdominal pain. CT imaging revealed a large 20 × 12 × 16 cm mass in the excluded stomach remnant. Ultrasound-guided biopsy confirmed this mass to be a GIST. The patient was treated surgically with exploratory laparotomy with distal pancreatectomy, partial colectomy, partial gastrectomy, and splenectomy. There are currently only 3 known reported cases of GISTs after RYGB.

Abstract
Background and Aims Early-stage small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors (SI-NETs) are generally asymptomatic and difficult to diagnose. As a result, patients often present with late-stage incurable disease. SI-NETs originate from enterochromaffin (EC) cells, which develop enteroendocrine cell (EEC) clusters consisting of a subset of EC cells at the crypt bottom at an early stage of tumor progression. In a familial form of SI-NET, EEC clusters arise in a multifocal and polyclonal fashion. We sought to determine whether early detection and analysis of cryptal EEC clusters could provide insight into the development of SI-NETs and allow successful pre-symptomatic screening for at risk family members of patients with SI-NETs. Methods Isolated crypts from endoscopic ileal biopsies or surgically removed specimens from 43 patients with familial SI-NET and 20 controls were formalin-fixed, immunostained for chromogranin A, and examined by confocal three-dimensional analysis for the presence of EEC cluster formations. Results Examination of multiple areas of macroscopic tumor-free mucosa in surgically resected specimens from patients with familial SI-NET revealed widely distributed, independent, multifocal EEC micro-tumor formations of varying sizes. Consistent with this finding, randomly sampled ileal biopsy specimens identified aberrant crypt containing endocrine cell clusters (ACECs) in patients. ACECs were found exclusively in patients (23/43, 53%) and not in controls (0/20). Furthermore, analysis of positions and numbers of EECs in crypts and ACECs indicated significant increases in EECs at the crypt bottom, predominantly at positions 0 and 1' (p < 0.0001 compared to controls), suggesting the progression of EEC accumulation below +4 position as the early process of ACEC formation. These findings also suggested that ACECs were precursors in the development of micro-tumors and subsequent macro-tumors. Conclusion This study indicates that SI-NETs develop from deep crypt EC cells to become ACECs, micro-tumors, and ultimately gross tumors. This process occurs widely throughout the distal small intestine in patients with familial SI-NETs consistent with but not exclusively explained by germline disease. Finally, analysis of crypts from ileal biopsies could contribute in part to earlier diagnostic screening processes avoiding late-stage presentation of incurable disease.

Abstract
Importance Adrenalectomy is the definitive treatment for multiple adrenal abnormalities. Advances in technology and genomics and an improved understanding of adrenal pathophysiology have altered operative techniques and indications. Objective To develop evidence-based recommendations to enhance the appropriate, safe, and effective approaches to adrenalectomy. Evidence Review A multidisciplinary panel identified and investigated 7 categories of relevant clinical concern to practicing surgeons. Questions were structured in the framework Population, Intervention/Exposure, Comparison, and Outcome, and a guided review of medical literature from PubMed and/or Embase from 1980 to 2021 was performed. Recommendations were developed using Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation methodology and were discussed until consensus, and patient advocacy representation was included. Findings Patients with an adrenal incidentaloma 1 cm or larger should undergo biochemical testing and further imaging characterization. Adrenal protocol computed tomography (CT) should be used to stratify malignancy risk and concern for pheochromocytoma. Routine scheduled follow-up of a nonfunctional adrenal nodule with benign imaging characteristics and unenhanced CT with Hounsfield units less than 10 is not suggested. When unilateral disease is present, laparoscopic adrenalectomy is recommended for patients with primary aldosteronism or autonomous cortisol secretion. Patients with clinical and radiographic findings consistent with adrenocortical carcinoma should be treated at high-volume multidisciplinary centers to optimize outcomes, including, when possible, a complete R0 resection without tumor disruption, which may require en bloc radical resection. Selective or nonselective α blockade can be used to safely prepare patients for surgical resection of paraganglioma/pheochromocytoma. Empirical perioperative glucocorticoid replacement therapy is indicated for patients with overt Cushing syndrome, but for patients with mild autonomous cortisol secretion, postoperative day 1 morning cortisol or cosyntropin stimulation testing can be used to determine the need for glucocorticoid replacement therapy. When patient and tumor variables are appropriate, we recommend minimally invasive adrenalectomy over open adrenalectomy because of improved perioperative morbidity. Minimally invasive adrenalectomy can be achieved either via a retroperitoneal or transperitoneal approach depending on surgeon expertise, as well as tumor and patient characteristics. Conclusions and Relevance Twenty-six clinically relevant and evidence-based recommendations are provided to assist surgeons with perioperative adrenal care.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPM) is a lethal cancer, with approximately 2% of diagnoses occurring in patients less than 40 years of age. The purpose of this study is to report the only long-term follow up and survival of pediatric patients with MPM after multi-modality therapy including cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). METHODS We retrospectively investigated a prospectively maintained database including patients <21 years old who underwent CRS and HIPEC from 1994 through 2014. Follow-up information was available through 2019 and is included in this report. RESULTS Seven young patients underwent CRS and HIPEC. Final histology was epithelioid in all patients. Three patients had received neo-adjuvant systemic chemotherapy. At the time of the operation Peritoneal Cancer Index ranged from 6 to 25. Completeness of cytoreduction score after CRS was 0 in 4 patients, 1 in two patients, and 2 in one patient. Post-operative complications included acute kidney injury (n = 1), hyperbilirubinemia (n = 1), bilateral pleural effusions (n = 1) and pneumothorax requiring chest tube placement (n = 1). At last available follow-up, 71% of patients (n = 5) were alive with minimal or no evaluable disease. The remaining two patients had passed away from their disease at 14 and 26 months, respectively, following CRS and HIPEC. Overall survival ranged between 14 and 281 months. CONCLUSION Our surgical experience shows that CRS and HIPEC is a feasible and safe treatment option in pediatric patients, potentially improving overall survival.

Abstract
Background To evaluate outcomes and survival rates in patients with metastatic adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) who were treated with image‐guided locoregional treatments (IGLTs). Purpose To evaluate the overall survival (OS) and clinical impact of IGLT in the management of patients with advanced metastatic ACC. Methods Retrospective review of 39 patients treated with IGLT between 1999 and 2018 was performed. Short‐ and long‐term efficacy of treatments were defined based upon imaging and clinical data. Subgroup survival analysis was performed on patients with metastatic disease at diagnosis (N = 17) and compared with the same stage group from the most recent National Cancer Database (NCDB) report. Statistical analysis was performed using Cox proportional hazards model. Results Treatments were performed at different anatomic sites including liver (N = 46), lung (N = 14), retroperitoneum (N = 5), bone (N = 4), subcutaneous (N = 2), and intracaval (N = 1). Radiofrequency, microwave, cryoablation, or a combination of two modalities (45, 18, 3, 3, respectively) were used in 69 ablation sessions. Intra‐arterial procedures were performed in 12 patients in 18 treatment cycles (range 1–3 per patient). As of a 2019 analysis, 11 patients were alive with a mean follow‐up of 169 months (range 63–292 months) from diagnosis. Two‐ and 5‐year OS rates for all patients were 84.5% and 51%, respectively, and 76.5% and 59% for patients with metastatic disease at diagnosis (N = 17). This compares favorably with an NCDB report of 35% 5‐year survival rate for patients with metastatic disease. Female gender and longer time from diagnosis to first IGLT were found to be predictors of prolonged survival with hazard ratios of 0.23 (p < 0.001) and 0.66 (p = 0.001), respectively. Conclusion IGLT may be associated with prolonged life expectancy in select patients with metastatic ACC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is an increasing trend of colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence and mortality in individuals under the age of 50. The impact of age on the outcomes of CRC remains controversial. This study examined the characteristics and treatment trends of young-onset CRC by comparing patients < 50 years of age to those ≥50. METHODS Data were retrospectively obtained from one of the largest hospital systems in Virginia. The sample included patients diagnosed with CRC from 2008 to 2016. Bivariate analyses were used to describe patients' characteristics. Stratified and multivariate analyses were used to evaluate the association between treatments and age groups in different stages at diagnosis. RESULTS Approximately 11.6 % (n = 522) of the cohort were younger than 50 years old at diagnosis with a mean age of 42.7 (SD = 5.9) years. Compared to their older counterpart (50 and older), young-onset patients were more likely to be African American (28.7 % (n = 150) vs. 23.7 % (n = 944)), to own private insurance (68.5 % (n = 313) vs. 27.6 % (n = 1032)), to have never used tobacco products (50.4 % (n = 237) vs. 43.8 % (n = 1616)), and to be late stage at diagnosis (68.6 % (n = 358) vs. 52.5 % (n = 2090)) (all p < 0.05). For early stage diagnosis, over 98 % of the young-onset treatments were surgery. For late stage diagnosis, the cancer treatment for young onset patients were a combination of surgery (89.4 %), radiation (82.5 %), and chemotherapy (86.3 %). The results of the analyses also demonstrated that patients with young-onset CRC have higher odds for surgery [OR = 1.76, 95 %CI (1.26, 2.47)], radiation [OR = 1.31, 95 %CI (1.17, 1.47)], and chemotherapy [OR = 3.34, 95 %CI (2.62, 4.25)]. CONCLUSIONS Findings confirmed late-stage prevalence among young-onset as well as significant demographic differences with patients' age ≥50. This study is one of few to explore the characteristics and assess treatment of young patients with CRC using U.S hospital data. Moreover, further studies need to clarify the effects of biological properties like genetic influences and environmental factors between races on cancer patient outcomes.

Abstract
Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare aggressive malignancy that originates in the outer layer of the adrenal gland. Most ACCs are sporadic, but a small percentage of cases are due to hereditary cancer syndromes such as Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS), Lynch syndrome (LS), and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A (MEN2A) is an inherited disorder that predisposes to medullary thyroid cancer, pheochromocytoma, and parathyroid hyperplasia. We present here a case of ACC with both LS and MEN2A; the family and medical history were consistent with Lynch. This is, to our knowledge, the first report of a patient with ACC associated with germline mutations in RET and MSH2, and no phenotypical characteristics of MEN2A.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recurrent adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is an aggressive disease with few options offering durable survival benefit. Despite metastasectomy, recurrence is common. Cytoreduction and intraperitoneal chemotherapy have offered improved survival in other advanced cancers. We sought to evaluate the use of cytoreduction and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for the treatment of recurrent intraperitoneal ACC. METHODS A phase II, single institution clinical trial was approved for patients with radiographic evidence of resectable ACC limited to the peritoneum. Patients underwent treatment if optimal cytoreduction was deemed possible at exploratory laparotomy. Primary outcome was intraperitoneal progression-free survival. Secondary outcomes were treatment-related morbidities and overall survival. RESULTS Sixty-three patients were evaluated, of whom 11 met eligibility criteria. Nine patients underwent cytoreduction and HIPEC, including one patient who recurred and was re-treated (n = 10 treatments). One patient could not be optimally cytoreduced for HIPEC and therefore did not receive intraperitoneal chemotherapy. There was no perioperative mortality; perioperative comorbidities were limited to Clavien-Dindo grade 2 or 3 and included hematologic, infectious, and neurologic complications. Seven patients experienced disease recurrence and two patients died of disease during follow-up (median 24 mo). Intraperitoneal progression-free survival was 19 mo, and median overall survival has not yet been reached. CONCLUSIONS Cytoreduction and HIPEC can be performed safely in selected patients. Patients with recurrent ACC confined to the peritoneal cavity can be considered for regional therapy in experienced hands. However, disease recurrence is common, and other treatment options should be explored.

Abstract
Differences in drug metabolism associated with UGT1A1 polymorphism could result in individualized local response to hepatic chemoembolization with irinotecan-eluting beads (DEBIRI) or predictable toxicities. Five patients with inoperable hepatic metastases from colorectal or anal malignancies treated with DEBIRI were assessed for UGT1A1 mutations. No difference in area under the curve (AUC) for SN38 in normal liver and tumor tissue samples was noted with variant or wild-type UBT1A1 (P = .16 and P = .05, respectively). Plasma SN-38 AUC was significantly lower in wild-type compared to variant patients (P < .0001). UGT1A1 genotype may not be predictive of hematologic toxicity after DEBIRI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We present a case of an adrenal hemangioma, an uncommon cause of an adrenal mass, and review the clinical presentation, work-up, and management of adrenal incidentalomas. BACKGROUND A 64-year-old male was found to have a right adrenal incidentaloma during work-up for elevated liver transaminase levels, later found to be from hepatitis C. The mass was suspicious for adrenocortical carcinoma on CT imaging. Biochemical evaluation revealed no evidence of function. He underwent an open right adrenalectomy. The mass was found to be an adrenal hemangioma on histopathologic analysis. METHODS This is a case report with pertinent review of the diagnosis and management of adrenal incidentalomas. RESULTS Adrenal hemangiomas are rare, benign, nonfunctional tumors typically found during imaging for other reasons. As illustrated by this case, they appear similar to adrenocortical carcinoma on CT imaging. The diagnosis is usually not made prior to surgical resection. CONCLUSION Adrenal hemangioma is a rare nonfunctional adrenal incidentaloma that displays atypical features on CT imaging. The suspicion for adrenocortical carcinoma usually prompts adrenalectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of routine CT imaging for surveillance in asymptomatic patients with cutaneous melanoma is controversial. We report our experience using a surveillance strategy that included CT imaging for a cohort of patients with high-risk melanoma. METHODS A total of 466 patients with high-risk cutaneous melanoma enrolled in adjuvant immunotherapy trials were followed for tumor progression by physical examination, labs, and CT imaging as defined by protocol. Evaluations were obtained at least every 6 months for year 1, every 6 months for year 2, and then annually for the remainder of the 5-year study. Time to tumor progression, sites of recurrence, and the method of relapse detection were identified. RESULTS The patient cohort consisted of 115 stage II patients, 328 stage III patients, and 23 patients with resected stage IV melanoma. The medium time to progression for the 225 patients who developed tumor progression was 7 months. Tumor progression was detected by patients, physician examination or routine labs, or by CT imaging alone in 27, 14, and 59% of cases respectively. Melanoma recurrences were noted to be locoregional in 36% of cases and systemic in 64% of cases. Thirty percent of patients with locoregional relapse and 75% of patients with systemic relapse were detected solely by CT imaging. CONCLUSIONS CT imaging alone detected the majority of sites of disease progression in our patients with high-risk cutaneous melanoma. This disease was not heralded by symptoms, physical examination, or blood work. Although the benefit of the early detection of advanced melanoma is unknown, this experience is relevant because of the rapid development and availability of potentially curative immunotherapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Tremelimumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody that binds to cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) on the surface of activated T lymphocytes. Ablative therapies induce a peripheral immune response which may enhance the effect of anti-CTLA4 treatment in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aimed to demonstrate whether tremelimumab could be combined safely and feasibly with ablation. METHODS Thirty-two patients with HCC were enrolled: male:female: 28:4; median age: 62 (range 36-76). Patients were given tremelimumab at two dose levels (3.5 and 10mg/kg i.v.) every 4weeks for 6 doses, followed by 3-monthly infusions until off-treatment criteria were met. On day 36, patients underwent subtotal radiofrequency ablation or chemoablation. Staging was performed by contrast-enhanced CT or MRI scan every 8weeks. RESULTS No dose-limiting toxicities were encountered. The most common toxicity was pruritus. Of the 19 evaluable patients, five (26.3%; 95% CI: 9.1-51.2%) achieved a confirmed partial response. Twelve of 14 patients with quantifiable HCV experienced a marked reduction in viral load. Six-week tumor biopsies showed a clear increase in CD8+ T cells in patients showing a clinical benefit only. Six and 12-month probabilities of tumor progression free survival for this refractory HCC population were 57.1% and 33.1% respectively, with median time to tumor progression of 7.4months (95% CI 4.7 to 19.4months). Median overall survival was 12.3months (95% CI 9.3 to 15.4months). CONCLUSIONS Tremelimumab in combination with tumor ablation is a potential new treatment for patients with advanced HCC, and leads to the accumulation of intratumoral CD8+ T cells. Positive clinical activity was seen, with a possible surrogate reduction in HCV viral load. LAY SUMMARY Studies have shown that the killing of tumors by direct methods (known as ablation) can result in the immune system being activated or switched on. The immune system could potentially also recognize and kill the cancer that is left behind. There are new drugs available known as immune checkpoint inhibitors which could enhance this effect. Here, we test one of these drugs (tremelimumab) together with ablation. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01853618.

Abstract
Background Immunotherapeutic treatment strategies including adoptive cell transfer (ACT) for metastatic melanoma are capable of mediating complete and durable responses, as well as partial responses and prolonged disease stabilization. Unfortunately, many patients ultimately develop progressive disease. The role of salvage metastasectomy in managing these patients has not been evaluated. Methods Records of patients with metastatic melanoma treated with ACT at a single institution between 2000 and 2014 were reviewed. Patients with an objective response by RECIST criteria or disease stabilization of at least 6 months and who subsequently developed progressive melanoma and were managed with metastasectomy as the next therapeutic strategy were studied for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Five additional clinical parameters were also reviewed for association with outcomes. Results Of 115 patients treated with ACT who met our response criteria and then developed progressive disease, 26 (23%) had surgery. There were no mortalities related to surgical intervention. Median follow-up after surgery was 62 months. Median PFS after surgery was 11 months and five-year OS was 57%. The development of a new site of metastasis after ACT was associated with poor PFS and OS. Conclusions Surgery after immunotherapy is safe. Long PFS and OS can be achieved by metastasectomy in selected patients with progressive melanoma following treatment with ACT. Clinical variables important for patient selection for metastasectomy after immunotherapy remain largely undefined. Improvements in immunotherapeutic treatment strategies may increase the role of surgery for patients with advanced disease.

Abstract
Targeted HIV cure strategies require definition of the mechanisms that maintain the virus. Here, we tracked HIV replication and the persistence of infected CD4 T cells in individuals with natural virologic control by sequencing viruses, T cell receptor genes, HIV integration sites, and cellular transcriptomes. Our results revealed three mechanisms of HIV persistence operating within distinct anatomic and functional compartments. In lymph node, we detected viruses with genetic and transcriptional attributes of active replication in both T follicular helper (TFH) cells and non-TFH memory cells. In blood, we detected inducible proviruses of archival origin among highly differentiated, clonally expanded cells. Linking the lymph node and blood was a small population of circulating cells harboring inducible proviruses of recent origin. Thus, HIV replication in lymphoid tissue, clonal expansion of infected cells, and recirculation of recently infected cells act together to maintain the virus in HIV controllers despite effective antiviral immunity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors (SI-NETs) are serotonin-secreting well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors believed to originate from enterochromaffin (EC) cells. Intestinal stem cell (ISC) are believed to contribute to the formation of SI-NETs, although little is known about tumor formation or development. We investigated the relationship between EC cells, ISCs, and SI-NETs. METHODS We analyzed jejuno-ileal tissue specimens from 14 patients with familial SI-NETs enrolled in the Natural History of Familial Carcinoid Tumor study at the National Institutes of Health from January 2009 to December 2014. Frozen and paraffin-embedded tumor tissues of different stages and isolated crypts were analyzed by in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry. Tumor clonality was assessed by analyses of mitochondrial DNA. RESULTS We identified multifocal aberrant crypt-containing endocrine cell clusters (ACECs) that contain crypt EC cell microtumors in patients with familial SI-NETs. RNA in situ hybridization revealed expression of the EC cell and reserve stem cell genes TPH1, BMI1, HOPX, and LGR5(low), in the ACECs and more advanced extraepithelial tumor nests. This expression pattern resembled that of reserve EC cells that express reserve ISC genes; most reside at the +4 position in normal crypts. The presence of multifocal ACECs from separate tumors and in the macroscopic tumor-free mucosa indicated widespread, independent, multifocal tumorigenesis. Analyses of mitochondrial DNA confirmed the independent origin of the ACECs. CONCLUSIONS Familial SI-NETs originate from a subset of EC cells (reserve EC cells that express reserve ISC genes) via multifocal and polyclonal processes. Increasing our understanding of the role of these reserve EC cells in the genesis of multifocal SI-NETs could improve diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for this otherwise intractable disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE Adoptive cell transfer, the infusion of large numbers of activated autologous lymphocytes, can mediate objective tumor regression in a majority of patients with metastatic melanoma (52 of 93; 56%). Addition and intensification of total body irradiation (TBI) to the preparative lymphodepleting chemotherapy regimen in sequential trials improved objective partial and complete response (CR) rates. Here, we evaluated the importance of adding TBI to the adoptive transfer of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) in a randomized fashion. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 101 patients with metastatic melanoma, including 76 patients with M1c disease, were randomly assigned to receive nonmyeloablative chemotherapy with or without 1,200 cGy TBI before transfer of tumor-infiltrating lymphcytes. Primary end points were CR rate (as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors v1.0) and overall survival (OS). Clinical and laboratory data were analyzed for correlates of response. RESULTS CR rates were 24% in both groups (12 of 50 v 12 of 51), and OS was also similar (median OS, 38.2 v 36.6 months; hazard ratio, 1.11; 95% CI, 0.65 to 1.91; P = .71). Thrombotic microangiopathy was an adverse event unique to the TBI arm and occurred in 13 of 48 treated patients. With a median potential follow-up of 40.9 months, only one of 24 patients who achieved a CR recurred. CONCLUSION Adoptive cell transfer can mediate durable complete regressions in 24% of patients with metastatic melanoma, with median survival > 3 years. Results were similar using chemotherapy preparative regimens with or without addition of TBI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative pancreatic fistula remains the most severe and worrisome complication after surgery. Predictive preoperative assessment remains challenging. The authors examine the role of pancreatic computed tomography density in predicting postoperative pancreatic fistula after surgery for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. METHODS A single institutional retrospective review of pancreatic surgery for neuroendocrine tumors between 1998 and 2010 was conducted. Preoperative contrast-enhanced computed tomography scans were reviewed, with mean region of interest measurements of pancreatic parenchymal density obtained from 10-mm thick axial computed tomography images. RESULTS A total of 119 patients were identified: 59 with enucleations and 60 with resections. Decreased preoperative pancreatic density was significantly associated with an increased grade of postoperative pancreatic fistula (P < .01). Subgroup analyses revealed that decreased gland density was associated with increased grade of postoperative pancreatic fistula in the resection (P < .01) but not in the enucleation group (P = .34). CONCLUSIONS A significant association between postoperative pancreatic fistula grade and preoperative pancreatic computed tomography density is observed in patients undergoing resection for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.

Results of a Randomized Controlled Multicenter Phase III Trial of Percutaneous Hepatic Perfusion Compared with Best Available Care for Patients with Melanoma Liver Metastases. Ann Surg Oncol 2015; 23:1309-19. [PMID: 26597368 DOI: 10.1245/s10434-015-4968-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 86] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [What about the content of this article?

Abstract
PURPOSE There is no consensus for the treatment of melanoma metastatic to the liver. Percutaneous hepatic perfusion with melphalan (PHP-Mel) is a method of delivering regional chemotherapy selectively to the liver. In this study, we report the results of a multicenter, randomized controlled trial comparing PHP-Mel with best alternative care (BAC) for patients with ocular or cutaneous melanoma metastatic to the liver. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 93 patients were randomized to PHP-Mel (n = 44) or BAC (n = 49). On the PHP-Mel arm, melphalan was delivered via the hepatic artery, and the hepatic effluent captured and filtered extracorporeally prior to return to the systemic circulation via a venovenous bypass circuit. PHP-Mel was repeatable every 4-8 weeks. The primary endpoint was hepatic progression-free survival (hPFS), and secondary endpoints included overall PFS (oPFS), overall survival (OS), hepatic objective response (hOR), and safety. RESULTS hPFS was 7.0 months for PHP-Mel and 1.6 months for BAC (p < 0.0001), while oPFS was 5.4 months for PHP-Mel and 1.6 months for BAC (p < 0.0001). Median OS was not significantly different (PHP-Mel 10.6 months vs. BAC 10.0 months), likely due to crossover to PHP-Mel treatment (57.1 %) from the BAC arm, and the hOR was 36.4 % for PHP-Mel and 2.0 % for BAC (p < 0.001). The majority of adverse events were related to bone marrow suppression. Four deaths were attributed to PHP-Mel, three in the primary PHP-Mel group, and one post-crossover to PHP-Mel from BAC. CONCLUSION This randomized, phase III study demonstrated the efficacy of the PHP-Mel procedure. hPFS, oPFS, and hOR were significantly improved with PHP-Mel. PHP with melphalan should provide a new treatment option for unresectable metastatic melanoma in the liver.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to prospectively screen patients with a positive family history of carcinoid small intestine neuroendocrine tumors (SI-NETs) to elucidate the benefits of early detection and operative intervention. METHODS A single-center, prospective trial was conducted from 2008 to 2014 that evaluated patients with 2 or more blood relatives with carcinoid SI-NETs. All eligible patients were screened with urine/serum biochemistries and various imaging modalities. Operative intervention was elected in patients found to have at least 1 positive diagnostic study. RESULTS Twenty-nine patients from 13 families had occult carcinoid SI-NETs (15 female, 14 male). Twenty-four of the 29 patients (83%) had multifocal disease found in either the distal jejunum or ileum. On average, 75.9 cm (range, 13-195) of bowel was resected in 1 segment. Three patients were found to have stage IV disease at operation. All stage I-IIIB patients who had R0 resections have remained disease-free, with a median follow-up of 35 months. CONCLUSION Familial carcinoid SI-NETs often are asymptomatic and can be diagnosed with aggressive screening. With early detection, there may be a window of opportunity for operative resection to change the natural history of this disease and even prove to be curative.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Small intestinal carcinoids are rare and difficult to diagnose and patients often present with advanced incurable disease. Although the disease occurs sporadically, there have been reports of family clusters. Hereditary small intestinal carcinoid has not been recognized and genetic factors have not been identified. We performed a genetic analysis of families with small intestinal carcinoids to establish a hereditary basis and find genes that might cause this cancer. METHODS We performed a prospective study of 33 families with at least 2 cases of small intestinal carcinoids. Affected members were characterized clinically and asymptomatic relatives were screened and underwent exploratory laparotomy for suspected tumors. Disease-associated mutations were sought using linkage analysis, whole-exome sequencing, and copy number analyses of germline and tumor DNA collected from members of a single large family. We assessed expression of mutant protein, protein activity, and regulation of apoptosis and senescence in lymphoblasts derived from the cases. RESULTS Familial and sporadic carcinoids are clinically indistinguishable except for the multiple synchronous primary tumors observed in most familial cases. Nearly 34% of asymptomatic relatives older than age 50 were found to have occult tumors; the tumors were cleared surgically from 87% of these individuals (20 of 23). Linkage analysis and whole-exome sequencing identified a germline 4-bp deletion in the gene inositol polyphosphate multikinase (IPMK), which truncates the protein. This mutation was detected in all 11 individuals with small intestinal carcinoids and in 17 of 35 family members whose carcinoid status was unknown. Mutant IPMK had reduced kinase activity and nuclear localization, compared with the full-length protein. This reduced activation of p53 and increased cell survival. CONCLUSIONS We found that small intestinal carcinoids can occur as an inherited autosomal-dominant disease. The familial form is characterized by multiple synchronous primary tumors, which might account for 22%-35% of cases previously considered sporadic. Relatives of patients with familial carcinoids should be screened to detect curable early stage disease. IPMK haploinsufficiency promotes carcinoid tumorigenesis.

Abstract
Nasopharyngeal mucosal melanoma is a rare pathology with an unclear etiology and oftentimes obscure clinical presentation. We present a report of a lady who had a complete response to systemic treatment of metastatic melanoma of unknown origin. Six years later, a diagnosis of primary nasopharyngeal melanoma was made after an extensive work-up for recurrent symptoms of severe right-sided epistaxis and hearing loss. Surgical resection was performed followed by radiation therapy. The patient has since been without evidence of recurrent or metastatic disease and resolution of bleeding.
Introduction Primary nasopharyngeal melanoma is an exceedingly rare pathology with unclear etiology and oftentimes obscure clinical presentation. Despite improved diagnostic capabilities, these lesions are often diagnosed at an advanced stage and associated prognosis is poor, partly due to high rates of recurrences and metastasis. Presentation of case A 74-year-old woman was diagnosed with metastatic melanoma to the liver, of unknown primary. Just prior to the time of diagnosis, she experienced several episodes of severe epistaxis which she managed conservatively. Her symptoms eventually subsided without further medical evaluation. The patient was initially treated with interleukin-2 (IL-2) for her advanced disease, but her cancer progressed. She was then enrolled in a protocol for percutaneous hepatic perfusion (PHP) with melphalan and had complete radiographic resolution of disease, yet her nosebleeds recurred and persisted despite conservative measures. Six years after her initial diagnosis, a nasopharyngoscopy demonstrated a pigmented lesion in the posterior nasopharynx. Surgical resection was performed (pathology consistent with mucosal melanoma) followed by radiation therapy. She has since had complete resolution of bleeding and shows no evidence of cancer. Discussion To our knowledge, this is the first report of a diagnosis of primary nasopharyngeal melanoma 6-years following complete remission of metastatic disease. Surgery remains the primary treatment for disease and symptom control in this setting. Conclusion Timely diagnosis of nasopharyngeal melanomas remains challenging. Thorough clinical evaluations should be performed in such patients, and attention should be paid to recurrent and persistent symptoms, such as epistaxis and hearing loss. This may allow for earlier detection of primary disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Complete cytoreduction with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) has been shown to improve survival in patients with low-grade mucinous adenocarcinoma (LGMA). However, incomplete cytoreduction exposes patients to significant morbidity without a similar survival benefit. Preoperative assessment of the ability to achieve CRS is therefore a critical step in selecting patients for CRS/HIPEC. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to develop and validate a preoperative scoring system to accurately predict the ability to achieve complete cytoreduction in patients with LGMA of the appendix. METHODS A simplified preoperative assessment for appendix tumor (SPAAT) score was developed based on computed tomography scan findings thought to predict incomplete cytoreduction. We applied the SPAAT score to patients with LGMA to determine the ability of the score to predict complete cytoreduction. This scoring system was then applied to a separate cohort of patients from a different institution. Sensitivity and specificity were determined for the SPAAT score. Survival was calculated and correlated with the SPAAT score and the completeness of cytoreduction score. RESULTS A SPAAT score of <3 is a significant predictor of complete cytoreduction in the derivation cohort. In the validation cohort, 40 of 42 patients with a SPAAT score <3 achieved a complete cytoreduction, for a positive predictive value of 95.2 % and a negative predictive value of 100 %. Additionally, the SPAAT score was a significant predictor of disease-free survival. CONCLUSIONS The SPAAT score is a useful tool in the preoperative assessment of patients with LGMA who are under consideration for cytoreductive surgery. Prospective analysis of this scoring system is warranted to appropriately select patients who will benefit from CRS/HIPEC.

Abstract
PURPOSE Infusion of interleukin-12 (IL12) can mediate antitumor immunity in animal models, yet its systemic administration to patients with cancer results in minimal efficacy and severe toxicity. Here, we evaluated the antitumor activity of adoptively transferred human tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) genetically engineered to secrete single-chain IL12 selectively at the tumor site. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Thirty-three patients with metastatic melanoma were treated in a cell dose-escalation trial of autologous TILs transduced with a gene encoding a single-chain IL12 driven by a nuclear factor of the activated T cells promoter (NFAT.IL12). No IL2 was administered. RESULTS The administration of 0.001 to 0.1 × 10(9) NFAT.IL12-transduced TILs to 17 patients resulted in a single, objective response (5.9%). However, at doses between 0.3 and 3 × 10(9) cells, 10 of 16 patients (63%) exhibited objective clinical responses. The responses tended to be short, and the administered IL12-producing cells rarely persisted at 1 month. Increasing cell doses were associated with high serum levels of IL12 and IFNγ as well as clinical toxicities, including liver dysfunction, high fevers, and sporadic life-threatening hemodynamic instability. CONCLUSIONS In this first-in-man trial, administration of TILs transduced with an inducible IL12 gene mediated tumor responses in the absence of IL2 administration using cell doses 10- to 100-fold lower than conventional TILs. However, due to toxicities, likely attributable to the secreted IL12, further refinement will be necessary before this approach can be safely used in the treatment of cancer patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Although adoptive cell therapy can be highly effective for the treatment of patients with melanoma, the application of this approach to the treatment of other solid tumors has been limited. The observation that the cancer germline (CG) antigen NY-ESO-1 is expressed in 70% to 80% and in approximately 25% of patients with synovial cell sarcoma and melanoma, respectively, prompted us to perform this first-in-man clinical trial using the adoptive transfer of autologous peripheral blood mononuclear cells that were retrovirally transduced with an NY-ESO-1-reactive T-cell receptor (TCR) to heavily pretreated patients bearing these metastatic cancers. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN HLA-*0201 patients with metastatic synovial cell sarcoma or melanoma refractory to standard treatments and whose cancers expressed NY-ESO-1 received autologous TCR-transduced T cells following a lymphodepleting preparative chemotherapy. Response rates using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), as well as immunologic correlates of response, are presented in this report. RESULTS Eleven of 18 patients with NY-ESO-1(+) synovial cell sarcomas (61%) and 11 of 20 patients with NY-ESO-1(+) melanomas (55%) who received autologous T cells transduced with an NY-ESO-1-reactive TCR demonstrated objective clinical responses. The estimated overall 3- and 5-year survival rates for patients with synovial cell sarcoma were 38% and 14%, respectively, whereas the corresponding estimated survival rates for patients with melanoma were both 33%. CONCLUSIONS The adoptive transfer of autologous T cells transduced with a retrovirus encoding a TCR against an HLA-A*0201 restricted NY-ESO-1 epitope can be an effective therapy for some patients bearing synovial cell sarcomas and melanomas that are refractory to other treatments.

Abstract
PURPOSE T cells can be genetically modified to express an anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR). We assessed the safety and efficacy of administering autologous anti-CD19 CAR T cells to patients with advanced CD19(+) B-cell malignancies. PATIENTS AND METHODS We treated 15 patients with advanced B-cell malignancies. Nine patients had diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), two had indolent lymphomas, and four had chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Patients received a conditioning chemotherapy regimen of cyclophosphamide and fludarabine followed by a single infusion of anti-CD19 CAR T cells. RESULTS Of 15 patients, eight achieved complete remissions (CRs), four achieved partial remissions, one had stable lymphoma, and two were not evaluable for response. CRs were obtained by four of seven evaluable patients with chemotherapy-refractory DLBCL; three of these four CRs are ongoing, with durations ranging from 9 to 22 months. Acute toxicities including fever, hypotension, delirium, and other neurologic toxicities occurred in some patients after infusion of anti-CD19 CAR T cells; these toxicities resolved within 3 weeks after cell infusion. One patient died suddenly as a result of an unknown cause 16 days after cell infusion. CAR T cells were detected in the blood of patients at peak levels, ranging from nine to 777 CAR-positive T cells/μL. CONCLUSION This is the first report to our knowledge of successful treatment of DLBCL with anti-CD19 CAR T cells. These results demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of treating chemotherapy-refractory B-cell malignancies with anti-CD19 CAR T cells. The numerous remissions obtained provide strong support for further development of this approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraoperative parathyroid hormone monitoring (IOPTH) is a widely used adjunct for primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT). However, the benefit of IOPTH in familial pHPT, such as in multiple endocrine neoplasia type I (MEN1), remains unclear. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of 52 patients with MEN1-associated pHPT undergoing initial parathyroidectomy with IOPTH monitoring at our institution. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels were measured before skin incision and 10 min after resection of the last parathyroid gland. Variables analyzed included percent drop of PTH from baseline and the final PTH level compared to the normal reference range (RR). RESULTS A total of 52 patients underwent initial subtotal parathyroidectomy with IOPTH. An IOPTH decrease cutoff of ≥75 % from baseline had the highest biochemical cure rate (87 %). In the remaining 13 % who met this cutoff, all had persistent pHPT, with ≥90 % drop of PTH from baseline. The remaining patients, who did not meet the ≥75 % cutoff, were cured. Follow-up was available for three of four patients with final IOPTH levels above the RR: one had persistent pHPT, two had hypoparathyroidism (50 %). When a postresection PTH level was within the RR, 88 % of patients were cured. While considered cured from pHPT, 7 % of patients in this group developed permanent hypoparathyroidism. When the final PTH level dropped below the RR, 28 % developed permanent hypoparathyroidism. CONCLUSIONS A cutoff in IOPTH decrease of ≥75 % from baseline has the highest biochemically cure rate in patients with pHPT associated with MEN1. However, a 75 % cutoff in IOPTH decrease does not exclude persistent pHPT. The absolute IOPTH value does not accurately predict postoperative hypoparathyroidism.

Abstract
Nine cancer patients were treated with adoptive cell therapy using autologous anti-MAGE-A3 T-cell receptors (TCR)-engineered T cells. Five patients experienced clinical regression of their cancers including 2 on-going responders. Beginning 1-2 days postinfusion, 3 patients (#'s 5, 7, and 8) experienced mental status changes, and 2 patients (5 and 8) lapsed into comas and subsequently died. Magnetic resonance imagining analysis of patients 5 and 8 demonstrated periventricular leukomalacia, and examination of their brains at autopsy revealed necrotizing leukoencephalopathy with extensive white matter defects associated with infiltration of CD3(+)/CD8(+) T cells. Patient 7, developed Parkinson-like symptoms, which resolved over 4 weeks and fully recovered. Immunohistochemical staining of patient and normal brain samples demonstrated rare positively staining neurons with an antibody that recognizes multiple MAGE-A family members. The TCR used in this study recognized epitopes in MAGE-A3/A9/A12. Molecular assays of human brain samples using real-time quantitative-polymerase chain reaction, Nanostring quantitation, and deep-sequencing indicated that MAGE-A12 was expressed in human brain (and possibly MAGE-A1, MAGE-A8, and MAGE-A9). This previously unrecognized expression of MAGE-A12 in human brain was possibly the initiating event of a TCR-mediated inflammatory response that resulted in neuronal cell destruction and raises caution for clinical applications targeting MAGE-A family members with highly active immunotherapies.

Abstract
PURPOSE Adoptive cell therapy (ACT) with autologous tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and high-dose interleukin-2 (IL-2) administered to lymphodepleted patients with melanoma can cause durable tumor regressions. The optimal TIL product for ACT is unknown. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with metastatic melanoma were prospectively assigned to receive unselected young TILs versus CD8(+)-enriched TILs. All patients received lymphodepleting chemotherapy and high-dose IL-2 therapy and were assessed for response, toxicity, survival, and immunologic end points. RESULTS Thirty-four patients received unselected young TILs with a median of 8.0% CD4(+) lymphocytes, and 35 patients received CD8(+)-enriched TILs with a median of 0.3% CD4(+) lymphocytes. One month after TIL infusion, patients who received CD8(+)-enriched TILs had significantly fewer CD4(+) peripheral blood lymphocytes (P = .01). Twelve patients responded to therapy with unselected young TILs (according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST]), and seven patients responded to CD8(+)-enriched TILs (35% v 20%; not significant). Retrospective studies showed a significant association between response to treatment and interferon gamma secretion by the infused TILs in response to autologous tumor (P = .04), and in the subgroup of patients who received TILs from subcutaneous tumors, eight of 15 patients receiving unselected young TILs responded but none of eight patients receiving CD8(+)-enriched TILs responded. CONCLUSION A randomized selection design trial was feasible for improving individualized TIL therapy. Since the evidence indicates that CD8(+)-enriched TILs are not more potent therapeutically and they are more laborious to prepare, future studies should focus on unselected young TILs.

Abstract
The diagnosis of melanoma can be challenging, especially in metastatic lesions, due to the ability of melanoma cells to morphologically mimic carcinoma, sarcoma and even lymphoma cells. Moreover, melanomas can exhibit negative immunostaining for the melanoma markers HMB-45 and MART-1/Melan-A, often used in the diagnosis of this tumor. KBA.62 is a recently described antibody that reacts with benign and malignant melanocytic proliferations. In this study, we report our experience with KBA.62 and S100 protein immunostaining in the diagnosis of metastatic melanoma on fine-needle aspiration and effusion samples. We reviewed 60 cytology samples from 58 patients with metastatic melanoma. Our results showed that KBA.62 stained 75% of the cases and S100 protein 87% of the cases. KBA.62 and S100 protein stained the majority of metastatic melanomas that were negative for HMB-45 and MART-1; KBA.62 stained 73% of the cases and S100 protein 73% of the cases. The majority (85%) of the cases negative for HMB-45 and MART-1 were positive for KBA.62 and/or S100 protein. Additionally, we also observed that KBA.62 staining was positive in the majority of epithelioid and spindle cell type melanoma cells. In conclusion, the performances of KBA.62 and S100 protein were similar and both markers are useful in the diagnosis of metastatic melanoma in cytology material, especially when the tumor cells lack expression of HMB-45 and MART-1.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPM) is a primary cancer that arises diffusely from the mesothelial cells lining the peritoneum. Morbidity and mortality are almost invariably owing to locoregional progression. Cytoreduction surgery (CRS) with intraoperative or perioperative high-dose regional chemotherapy has been established as the preferred approach in selected patients. This study was performed to identify factors associated with long-term outcome. METHODS Between January 1992 and 2010, 211 patients with MPM treated at 3 major referral centers with operative CRS and hyperthermic intraoperative peritoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) were analyzed. RESULTS The median, actuarial overall survival was 38.4 months; the actuarial 5- and 10-year survivals were 41% and 26%, respectively. On multivariate analysis, factors independently associated with favorable outcome were younger age <60 years (P < .01), complete or near complete (R0-1) versus incomplete (R2-3) resection (P < .02), low versus high histologic grade (P < .01), and the use of cisplatin versus mitomycin-C during HIPEC (P < .01). There was a trend toward female sex and improved survival (male hazard ratio, 1.46; 95% confidence interval, 0.89-2.41; P = .13). CONCLUSION Operative CRS with HIPEC is associated with prolonged survival in patients with MPM. Factors associated with survival include age, complete or near complete gross tumor resection, histologic tumor grade, and HIPEC with cisplatin. Cisplatin (versus mitomycin-C) was independently associated with improved survival and demonstrates a salutary effect for HIPEC with cisplatin in the management of patients with MPM.

Abstract
178 Background: Ocular melanoma (OM) has an annual incidence of 3500 to 4000 patients per year, with liver metastases (LM) accounting for the sole or dominant site of metastases in more than 80% of patients. For patients with LM, median survival is reported to be 2 to 7 months, with an estimated 1-year survival of 10%. We present results utilizing liver directed therapy with high-dose melphalan administered via hypertermic isolated hepatic perfusion (IHP) for patients with unresectable LM from OM. Methods: Between 10/1994 and 6/2012, 105 pts with unresectable LM underwent a 60 min hyperthermic (IHP) with melphalan (1-2 mg/kg IBW). IHP included hepatic isolation at laparotomy with inflow via a cannula in the gastroduodenal artery and outflow via a cannula in the isolated retrohepatic vena cava (IVC). Patients were followed for toxicity, radiographic response (WHO criteria), and hepatic progression-free (HPFS) and overall survival (OS). HPFS and OS probabilities were calculated by Kaplan-Meier. Results: There were 51 males and 54 females (mean age: 50 yr [range: 21-76]) with unresectable OM LM (median # metastases: 26 [range: 3-50]; median percent liver replaced by tumor: 22%). There were 3 operative/treatment mortalities (2.9%). There were 62 responses (CR: n=6, PR: 56) in 102 evaluable patients (61%). For all treated patients, median OS was 12 months (range: 1 to 115 months) with 2 and 3-yr survival of 31% and 21%, respectively. Conclusions: IHP with melphalan results in marked tumor regression and prolonged OS in patients with high hepatic tumor burden from metastatic OM. Although this is a non-randomized trial, response to IHP is associated survival superior to that reported with alternative therapies.

Abstract
This study is based on an extension of the concept of joint entropy of two random variables to continuous functions, such as backscattered ultrasound. For two continuous random variables, X and Y, the joint probability density p(x,y) is ordinarily a continuous function of x and y that takes on values in a two dimensional region of the real plane. However, in the case where X=f(t) and Y=g(t) are both continuously differentiable functions, X and Y are concentrated exclusively on a curve, γ(t)=(f(t),g(t)), in the x,y plane. This concentration can only be represented using a mathematically "singular" object such as a (Schwartz) distribution. Its use for imaging requires a coarse-graining operation, which is described in this study. Subsequently, removal of the coarse-graining parameter is accomplished using the ergodic theorem. The resulting expression for joint entropy is applied to several data sets, showing the utility of the concept for both materials characterization and detection of targeted liquid nanoparticle ultrasonic contrast agents. In all cases, the sensitivity of these techniques matches or exceeds, sometimes by a factor of two, that demonstrated in previous studies that employed signal energy or alternate entropic quantities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare disease treated with cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Estimation of personalized survival times can potentially guide treatment and surveillance. METHODS We analyzed 104 patients who underwent CRS and cisplatin-based HIPEC for MPM. By means of 25 demographic, laboratory, operative, and histopathological variables, we developed a novel nomogram using machine-learned Bayesian belief networks with stepwise training, testing, and cross-validation. RESULTS The mean peritoneal carcinomatosis index (PCI) was 15, and 66 % of patients had a completeness of cytoreduction (CC) score of 0 or 1. Eighty-seven percent of patients had epithelioid histology. The median follow-up time was 49 (1-195) months. The 3- and 5-year overall survivals (OS) were 58 and 46 %, respectively. The histological subtype, pre-CRS PCI, and preoperative serum CA-125 had the greatest impact on OS and were included in the nomogram. The mean areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve for the 10-fold cross-validation of the 3- and 5-year models were 0.77 and 0.74, respectively. The graphical calculator or nomogram uses color coding to assist the clinician in quickly estimating individualized patient-specific survival before surgery. CONCLUSIONS Machine-learned Bayesian belief network analysis generated a novel nomogram predicting 3- and 5-year OS in patients treated with CRS and HIPEC for MPM. Pre-CRS estimation of survival times may potentially individualize patient care by influencing the use of systemic therapy and frequency of diagnostic imaging, and might prevent CRS in patients unlikely to achieve favorable outcomes despite surgical intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In 2005, the International Study Group of Pancreatic Fistula (ISGPF) developed a definition and grading system for postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF). The authors sought to determine the rate of POPF after enucleation and/or resection of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNET) and to identify clinical, surgical, or pathologic factors associated with POPF. METHODS A retrospective analysis of pancreatic enucleations and resections performed from March 1998 to April 2010. We defined a clinically significant POPF as a grade B that required nonoperative intervention and grade C. RESULTS One hundred twenty-two patients were identified; 62 patients had enucleations and 60 patients had resections of PNET. The rate of clinically significant POPF was 23.7 % (29/122). For pancreatic enucleation, the POPF rate was 27.4 % (17/62, 14 grade B, 3 grade C). The pancreatic resection group had a POPF rate of 20 % (12/60, 10 grade B, 2 grade C). This difference was not significant (p = 0.4). In univariate analyses, patients in the enucleation group with hereditary syndromes (p = 0.02) and non-insulinoma tumors (p = 0.02) had a higher POPF rate. Patients in the resection group with body mass index (BMI) > 25 (p < 0.01), multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN-1; p < 0.01) and those who underwent simultaneous multiple procedures (p = 0.02) had a higher POPF rate. Multivariate analyses revealed that hereditary syndromes were able to predict POPF in the enucleation group, while having BMI > 25 and increasing lesion size were also associated with POPF in the group undergoing resection. CONCLUSIONS We found a clinically significant POPF rate after surgery in PNET to be 23.7 % with no difference by the type of operation. Our POPF rate is comparable to that reported in the literature for pancreatic resection for other types of tumors. Certain inherited genetic diseases-von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL) and MEN-1-were associated with higher POPF rates.

Abstract
PURPOSE Treatment with ipilimumab can cause objective tumor responses in patients with metastatic melanoma. We have treated 177 evaluable patients in three clinical trials and have long-term follow-up to evaluate the durability of responses. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Patients with metastatic melanoma were treated in three trials from 2002 to 2005. In protocol 1, 56 patients received ipilimumab with gp100 peptides. In protocol 2, 36 patients received ipilimumab with interleukin-2. In protocol 3, 85 patients received ipilimumab with intrapatient dose-escalation and were randomized to receive gp100 peptides. We have analyzed their long-term follow-up and survival data. RESULTS With median follow-up for protocols 1, 2, and 3 being 92, 84, and 71 months, median survival was 14, 16, and 13 months with 5-year survival rates being 13%, 25%, and 23%, respectively. Patients in protocol 2 had a 17% complete response (CR) rate, compared with 7% in protocol 1 and 6% in protocol 3. These CR rates are higher than previously reported for the same trials because some patients who eventually became complete responders had continual tumor regression months to years after therapy. All but one of the 15 complete responders are ongoing at 54+ to 99+ months. CONCLUSIONS This report provides the longest follow-up of patients with melanoma treated with ipilimumab and shows that ipilimumab can induce durable, potentially curative tumor regression in a small percentage of patients with metastatic melanoma. The combination of ipilimumab and interleukin-2 seems to have an increased CR rate, but this needs to be tested in a randomized trial.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There are limited data on the utility of 6-(18)F-fluoro-l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine ((18)F-DOPA) and (18)F-2-deoxy-d-glucose ((18)F-FDG) in the workup of patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs). The aim of our study was to determine the accuracy of (18)F-DOPA and (18)F-FDG to detect PNETs in patients with von Hippel-Lindau disease (vHL). METHODS We studied prospectively 69 patients with a diagnosis of vHL and pancreatic lesion(s) using computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), (18)F-FDG, and (18)F-DOPA. Clinical, genetic, and laboratory characteristics were analyzed to determine association with imaging study results. RESULTS In sum, 40 patients underwent evaluation by all 4 modalities; 98 PNETs and 55 PNETs were identified on CT and MRI, respectively. Only 11 of the 98 lesions (11%) were positive on (18)F-DOPA and 45 of the 98 (46%) lesions were positive on (18)F-FDG. There were 13 (18)F-DOPA and 26 (18)F-FDG avid extrapancreatic lesions. One patient underwent resection of an (18)F-DOPA avid extrapancreatic lesion in the lung, with pathology demonstrating a NET. There was no association between (18)F-DOPA and (18)F-FDG avidity and tumor size, age, gender, vHL mutation, or serum chromogranin A level. CONCLUSION (18)F-FDG and MRI may be adjuncts to CT in identifying PNETs and metastatic disease. (18)F-DOPA has limited value in identifying PNETs in patients with vHL, but may be useful for identifying extrapancreatic NET lesions.

Abstract
PURPOSE Most treatments for patients with metastatic melanoma have a low rate of complete regression and thus overall survival in these patients is poor. We investigated the ability of adoptive cell transfer utilizing autologous tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) to mediate durable complete regressions in heavily pretreated patients with metastatic melanoma. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Ninety-three patients with measurable metastatic melanoma were treated with the adoptive transfer of autologous TILs administered in conjunction with interleukin-2 following a lymphodepleting preparative regimen on three sequential clinical trials. Ninety-five percent of these patients had progressive disease following a prior systemic treatment. Median potential follow-up was 62 months. RESULTS Objective response rates by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) in the 3 trials using lymphodepleting preparative regimens (chemotherapy alone or with 2 or 12 Gy irradiation) were 49%, 52%, and 72%, respectively. Twenty of the 93 patients (22%) achieved a complete tumor regression, and 19 have ongoing complete regressions beyond 3 years. The actuarial 3- and 5-year survival rates for the entire group were 36% and 29%, respectively, but for the 20 complete responders were 100% and 93%. The likelihood of achieving a complete response was similar regardless of prior therapy. Factors associated with objective response included longer telomeres of the infused cells, the number of CD8(+)CD27(+) cells infused, and the persistence of the infused cells in the circulation at 1 month (all P(2) < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Cell transfer therapy with autologous TILs can mediate durable complete responses in patients with metastatic melanoma and has similar efficacy irrespective of prior treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE Adoptive immunotherapy using tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes represents an effective cancer treatment for patients with metastatic melanoma. The NY-ESO-1 cancer/testis antigen, which is expressed in 80% of patients with synovial cell sarcoma and approximately 25% of patients with melanoma and common epithelial tumors, represents an attractive target for immune-based therapies. The current trial was carried out to evaluate the ability of adoptively transferred autologous T cells transduced with a T-cell receptor (TCR) directed against NY-ESO-1 to mediate tumor regression in patients with metastatic melanoma and synovial cell sarcoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS A clinical trial was performed in patients with metastatic melanoma or metastatic synovial cell sarcoma refractory to all standard treatments. Patients with NY-ESO-1-positive tumors were treated with autologous TCR-transduced T cells plus 720,000 iU/kg of interleukin-2 to tolerance after preparative chemotherapy. Objective clinical responses were evaluated using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). RESULTS Objective clinical responses were observed in four of six patients with synovial cell sarcoma and five of 11 patients with melanoma bearing tumors expressing NY-ESO-1. Two of 11 patients with melanoma demonstrated complete regressions that persisted after 1 year. A partial response lasting 18 months was observed in one patient with synovial cell sarcoma. CONCLUSION These observations indicate that TCR-based gene therapies directed against NY-ESO-1 represent a new and effective therapeutic approach for patients with melanoma and synovial cell sarcoma. To our knowledge, this represents the first demonstration of the successful treatment of a nonmelanoma tumor using TCR-transduced T cells.

Abstract
Autologous T lymphocytes genetically engineered to express a murine T cell receptor (TCR) against human carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) were administered to three patients with metastatic colorectal cancer refractory to standard treatments. All patients experienced profound decreases in serum CEA levels (74-99%), and one patient had an objective regression of cancer metastatic to the lung and liver. However, a severe transient inflammatory colitis that represented a dose limiting toxicity was induced in all three patients. This report represents the first example of objective regression of metastatic colorectal cancer mediated by adoptive T cell transfer and illustrates the successful use of a TCR, raised in human leukocyte antigen (HLA) transgenic mice, against a human tumor associated antigen. It also emphasizes the destructive power of small numbers of highly avid T cells and the limitations of using CEA as a target for cancer immunotherapy.

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of acupuncture treatment for persistent hiccups in cancer patients. DESIGN The study design was a retrospective case series. SETTINGS/LOCATION The study setting was the Clinical Research Center of the National Institutes of Health. SUBJECTS The subjects were 16 adult male patients ages 27-71 with cancer, with persistent hiccups. INTERVENTIONS There were one to three acupuncture sessions over a 1-7-day period. OUTCOME MEASURES Treatment efficacy was measured using a hiccup assessment instrument pre- and post-treatment. The effects of acupuncture on common symptoms reported by all patients were also evaluated. RESULTS Thirteen (13) patients experienced complete remission of persistent hiccups (p < 0.0001); 3 patients experienced decreased hiccups severity. Significant improvement was observed in discomfort (p < 0.0001), distress (p < 0.0001), and fatigue (p = 0.0078). CONCLUSIONS This case series demonstrates that acupuncture may be a clinically useful, safe, and low-cost therapy for persistent hiccups in patients with cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) and interleukin (IL)-2 administered following lymphodepletion can cause the durable complete regression of bulky metastatic melanoma in patients refractory to approved treatments. However, the generation of a unique tumor-reactive TIL culture for each patient may be prohibitively difficult. We therefore investigated the clinical and immunologic impact of unscreened, CD8+ enriched "young" TIL. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Methods were developed for generating TIL that minimized the time in culture and eliminated the individualized tumor-reactivity screening step. Thirty-three patients were treated with these CD8+ enriched young TIL and IL-2 following nonmyeloablative lymphodepletion (NMA). Twenty-three additional patients were treated with CD8+ enriched young TIL and IL-2 after lymphodepletion with NMA and 6 Gy of total body irradiation. RESULTS Young TIL cultures for therapy were successfully established from 83% of 122 consecutive melanoma patients. Nineteen of 33 patients (58%) treated with CD8+ enriched young TIL and NMA had an objective response (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors) including 3 complete responders. Eleven of 23 patients (48%) treated with TIL and 6 Gy total body irradiation had an objective response including 2 complete responders. At 1 month after TIL infusion the absolute CD8+ cell numbers in the periphery were highly correlated with response. CONCLUSIONS This study shows that a rapid and simplified method can be used to reliably generate CD8+ enriched young TIL for administration as an individualized therapy for advanced melanoma, and may allow this potentially effective treatment to be applied at other institutions and to reach additional patients.

Abstract
Molecular imaging agents are extending the potential of noninvasive medical diagnosis from basic gross anatomical descriptions to complicated phenotypic characterizations based upon the recognition of unique cell-surface biochemical signatures. Although originally the purview of nuclear medicine, "molecular imaging" is now studied in conjunction with all clinically relevant imaging modalities. Of the myriad of particles that have emerged as prospective candidates for clinical translation, perfluorocarbon nanoparticles offer great potential for combining targeted imaging with drug delivery, much like the "magic bullet" envisioned by Paul Ehrlich 100 years ago. Perfluorocarbon nanoparticles, once studied in Phase III clinical trials as blood substitutes, have found new life for molecular imaging and drug delivery. The particles have been adapted for use with all clinically relevant modalities and for targeted drug delivery. In particular, their intravascular constraint due to particle size provides a distinct advantage for angiogenesis imaging and antiangiogenesis therapy. As perfluorocarbon nanoparticles have recently entered Phase I clinical study, this review provides a timely focus on the development of this platform technology and its application for angiogenesis-related pathologies.

Abstract
Previously a new method for ultrasound signal characterization using entropy H(f) was reported, and it was demonstrated that in certain settings, further improvements in signal characterization could be obtained by generalizing to Renyi entropy-based signal characterization I(f)(r) with values of r near 2 (specifically r=1.99) [M. S. Hughes et al., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 125, 3141-3145 (2009)]. It was speculated that further improvements in sensitivity might be realized at the limit r-->2. At that time, such investigation was not feasible due to excessive computational time required to calculate I(f)(r) near this limit. In this paper, an asymptotic expression for the limiting behavior of I(f)(r) as r-->2 is derived and used to present results analogous to those obtained with I(f)(1.99). Moreover, the limiting form I(f,infinity) is computable directly from the experimentally measured waveform f(t) by an algorithm that is suitable for real-time calculation and implementation.
