Abstract
BACKGROUND Topical photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an approved treatment for actinic keratosis (AK). To enhance the efficacy of PDT for AKs, physical and chemical pretreatments have been suggested. OBJECTIVES To compare the efficacy and safety of the combination of topical calcipotriol (CAL) before methyl aminolaevulinate (MAL)-PDT for AKs of the scalp vs. conventional MAL-PDT in a randomized controlled clinical trial. METHODS Twenty patients with multiple AKs on the scalp were randomized to receive conventional MAL-PDT with previous curettage on one side of the scalp and CAL-assisted MAL-PDT once a day for 15 days before illumination on the other side. After 3 months, patients were evaluated for clearance of AKs, side-effects and histopathology before and after the procedure. Protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) fluorescence was measured before and after illumination on both sides. RESULTS All 20 patients completed the study. Overall AK clearance rates were 92·1% and 82·0% for CAL-PDT and conventional PDT, respectively (P < 0·001). Grade 1 AKs showed similar response rates for both sides (P = 0·055). However, grade II AKs showed more improvement on the CAL-PDT side (90%) than on the MAL-PDT side (63%) (P < 0·001). Before illumination, PpIX fluorescence intensity was higher on the CAL-assisted side (P = 0·048). The treatment was more painful on the CAL-PDT side, although well tolerated. The mean visual analogue scale score was 5·4 ± 1·4 on the CAL-PDT side and 4·0 ± 0·69 on the conventional MAL-PDT side (P = 0·001). Side-effects such as erythema (P = 0·019), oedema (P = 0·002) and crusts (P < 0·001) were more pronounced on the CAL-assisted side. Histopathological analyses were obtained from five patients and both sides showed improved keratinocyte atypia following PDT, with slightly more improvement on the CAL-assisted side. CONCLUSIONS CAL-assisted PDT proved to be safe and more effective than conventional MAL-PDT for the treatment of AKs on the scalp. CAL pretreatment increased PpIX accumulation within the skin and may have enhanced the efficacy in this first human trial.

Abstract
In recent years, the number of approved and investigational agents that can be safely administered for the treatment of lymphoma patients for a prolonged period of time has substantially increased. Many of these novel agents are evaluated in early-phase clinical trials in patients with a wide range of malignancies, including solid tumors and lymphoma. Furthermore, with the advances in genome sequencing, new "basket" clinical trial designs have emerged that select patients based on the presence of specific genetic alterations across different types of solid tumors and lymphoma. The standard response criteria currently in use for lymphoma are the Lugano Criteria which are based on [18F]2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography or bidimensional tumor measurements on computerized tomography scans. These differ from the RECIST criteria used in solid tumors, which use unidimensional measurements. The RECIL group hypothesized that single-dimension measurement could be used to assess response to therapy in lymphoma patients, producing results similar to the standard criteria. We tested this hypothesis by analyzing 47 828 imaging measurements from 2983 individual adult and pediatric lymphoma patients enrolled on 10 multicenter clinical trials and developed new lymphoma response criteria (RECIL 2017). We demonstrate that assessment of tumor burden in lymphoma clinical trials can use the sum of longest diameters of a maximum of three target lesions. Furthermore, we introduced a new provisional category of a minor response. We also clarified response assessment in patients receiving novel immune therapy and targeted agents that generate unique imaging situations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The field cancerization concept in photodamaged patients suggests that the entire sun-exposed surface of the skin has an increased risk for the development of (pre)-malignant lesions, mainly epithelial tumours. Topical photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a noninvasive therapeutic method for multiple actinic keratosis (AK) with excellent outcome. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the clinical, histological and immunohistochemical changes in human skin with field cancerization after multiple sessions of PDT with methyl-aminolaevulinate (MAL). METHODS Twenty-six patients with photodamaged skin and multiple AK on the face received three consecutive sessions of MAL-PDT with red light (37 J cm(-2)), 1 month apart. Biopsies before and 3 months after the last treatment session were taken from normal-appearing skin on the field-cancerized area. Immunohistochemical stainings were performed for TP-53, procollagen-I, metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) and tenascin-C (Tn-C). RESULTS All 26 patients completed the study. The global score for photodamage improved considerably in all patients (P < 0·001). The AK clearance rate was 89·5% at the end of the study. Two treatment sessions were as effective as three MAL-PDT sessions. A significant decrease in atypia grade and extent of keratinocyte atypia was observed histologically (P < 0·001). Also, a significant increase in collagen deposition (P = 0·001) and improvement of solar elastosis (P = 0·002) were noticed after PDT. However, immunohistochemistry showed only a trend for decreased TP-53 expression (not significant), increased procollagen-I and MMP-1 expressions (not significant) and an increased expression of Tn-C (P = 0·024). CONCLUSIONS Clinical and histological improvement in field cancerization after multiple sessions of MAL-PDT is proven. The decrease in severity and extent of keratinocyte atypia associated with a decreased expression of TP-53 suggest a reduced carcinogenic potential of the sun-damaged area. The significant increase of new collagen deposition and the reduction of solar elastosis explain the clinical improvement of photodamaged skin.

Abstract
6583 Background: The addition of rituximab (RTX) to CVP (cyclophosphamide, vincristine, prednisone) in the treatment of advanced follicular lymphoma increases median time to progression by 17 months (15 month v 32 months; p < 0.0001) (Marcus et al, Blood 2005). A societal cost-effectiveness analysis was performed to estimate projected lifetime clinical and economic implications of this treatment. Methods: The cost-effectiveness (CE) of RTX + CVP versus CVP was estimated for a 50 yr old patient. Kaplan-Meier estimates of progression-free and overall survival, up to 4 years, were obtained from the M39021 trial. After 4 years, transition rates from initiation of treatment to progression or death were assumed to be the same in both arms. The clinical and economic implications of relapse and its treatment were included in the model. Incremental costs associated with addition of RTX were estimated using Medicare reimbursement rates and published retail price data. Costs included drug and administration costs, adverse events, treatment of relapses, and end-of-life costs. Utility estimates were derived from the literature and a 3% discount rate was employed. Results: Projected mean overall survival is 1.5 yrs longer for patients assigned to RTX+ CVP versus only CVP (13.7 v 12.2 yrs). The addition of RTX to CVP is estimated to cost an additional $26,439 on average, with an expected gain of 0.85 year of quality-adjusted survival. Over a lifetime, the cost per QALY gained is $31,329. Sensitivity analyses revealed that the variables that most influenced cost-effectiveness were the time horizon (range: $18,800- $31,240) and the unit drug cost of RTX (range: $24,000-$38,000). Conclusion: The model estimates a cost-to-QALY gained ratio that is below that of many treatments used for oncology patients. The use of RTX + CVP for first-line treatment of advanced follicular lymphoma is projected to be cost-effective compared to CVP alone under a range of sensitivity analyses. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
UNLABELLED This prospective study was designed to evaluate intraventricular conduction disturbances in asymptomatic patients with Chagas' disease, and patients with primary sclerosis of the conducting system of the heart (Lev-Lenègre's disease). Eighty-four asymptomatic individuals with right- or left-bundle branch block were submitted to electrophysiological evaluation and long-term follow-up. Fifty-five had positive serologic blood tests for Chagas' disease and 29 had Lev-Lenègre's disease. Mean-age of 45 years in chagasic and 63 in non-chagasic patients (p< 0.001). There were 54 (98.2%) with right-bundle branch block in chagasic and 14 (48.3%) among non-chagasic patients (p <0.001). Sinus nodal and atrioventricular nodal functions presented no differences in either group. However, mean HV interval was greater in the NCH than in the CH group (p< 0.01). After a mean follow-up of 121 +/- 63.75 months among chagasic and 94.97 +/- 67.55 months among non-chagasic patients, total mortality was 20 (36.6%) patients in chagasic and 9 (31%) among non-chagasic patients (NS). Cardiac death was recorded in 17 (85%) individuals among chagasic and 3 (33.3%) among non-chagasic patients(p <0.05). Sudden death occurred in 10 (50%) among chagasic and was not observed in non-chagasic patients (p <0. 01). IN CONCLUSION 1. Asymptomatic chagasic individuals with intraventricular conduction disturbances showed higher cardiac mortality, sudden or non-sudden death in relation to non-chagasic individuals. 2. The evaluated electrophysiological parameters were of no prognostic value in relation to mortality, although programmed ventricular stimulation was not performed.

Abstract
Tuberous sclerosis is a neurologic disease affecting various organs with a triade: sebaceum adenoma, mental retardation and seizures. This report presents a case of a patient with tuberous sclerosis and third degree A-V block with complete invasive and non-invasive evaluation. The patient had sincope and complete A-V block with QRS complexes showing right bundle branch block morphology. The echocardiogram showed dilated cardiomyopathy with diffuse left ventricular dysfunction and had normal coronary arteriography. The eletrophysiologic evaluation showed complete infra-hisian A-V block and QRS with left bundle branch block pattern with normal sinus nodal and A-V nodal function. It was not possible to induce ventricular tachtyarrhythmias up to two extrastimuli. Histologic study showed normal myocardium under light and electronic microscopy. After permanent VVI pacemaker implant, the patient in follow-up for 16 years. This case seems to be the first in the international medical literature of tuberous sclerosis with complete heart block.
