Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Immune therapy is a new option that has revolutionized cancer therapy. Immune checkpoint inhibitors target mostly either PD-1 (Pembrolizumab, Nivolumab) or PD-L1 (Durvalumab). Immune-related cardiotoxic side effects, among them, tamponade, initially thought to be rare, seem to be increasingly cited in the literature. Moreover, tobacco smoking is linked to 80% of lung cancers. Smoking during cancer therapy may influence on radiotherapy and chemotherapy outcomes but little is known on immunotherapy.
Purpose
We aimed to review all the published cases of tamponade during immune therapy for lung cancer and to report all the cases that occurred in the University Hospital Ambroise Paré. We also wanted to highlight the possible impact of tobacco on immunotherapy.
Methods
We conducted a literature review in the PubMED database, from database inception up to 02/14/2020, with a combination of the following terms: “tamponade AND ((immune checkpoint inhibitors) OR (PD-1) OR (PD-L1))”. We also reported all the tamponade cases occurred in our hospital from the beginning of immune checkpoint inhibitors therapy existence up to 02/14/2020.
Results
Seventeen cases citing tamponade were identified in the literature to which we added 3 cases from our hospital. Mortality rate at 1 month was of 20%. Nivolumab was involved in 80%, Pembrolizumab in 10% and Durvalumab in 10%. In 75%, lung cancer was with a stage IV. Men accounted for 85% and mean age was of 62 years. Active smokers represented 85% and passive smokers existed in 5%, after diagnosis, smoking cessation was done in 10%. Tamponade occurred either shortly after the first administrations but also after several doses. Pericardial fluid cytology revealed malignant cells in half of the cases and microbiology was always negative. For all the cases, excepted for one who was directly considered as palliative, an evacuation of the pericardial fluid was done. In 45% a corticotherapy was initiated. Two cases quickly worsened after pericardial evacuation by unmasking a probable myocarditis with cardiogenic shock which needed the use of a veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
Conclusions
Tamponade under immune checkpoint inhibitors therapy appears less rare than initially thought and mortality rate at one month was not negligible. The use of regular echocardiography during this immune therapy may be crucial in detecting early stages of the disease process and smoking cessation should also be advised for these patients. The prevalence of complications among all the patients both exposed to immune therapy and tobacco could not be calculated in this work (case-reports), but some recent studies may indicate survival gains of smoking cessation. Further research establishing more specific guidelines is naturally necessary in dealing with this potentially fatal effect but also in establishing the possibly additional role of smoking in the cardiotoxicity of immunotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has become a valuable non-invasive tool in the in vivo diagnosis of non-melanoma skin cancer, especially of basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Due to an updated software-supported algorithm, a new en-face mode - similar to the horizontal en-face mode in high-definition OCT and reflectance confocal microscopy - surface-parallel imaging is possible which, in combination with the established slice mode of frequency domain (FD-)OCT, may offer additional information in the diagnosis of BCC. OBJECTIVES To define characteristic morphologic features of BCC using the new en-face mode in addition to the conventional cross-sectional imaging mode for three-dimensional imaging of BCC in FD-OCT. METHODS A total of 33 BCC were examined preoperatively by imaging in en-face mode as well as cross-sectional mode in FD-OCT. Characteristic features were evaluated and correlated with histopathology findings. RESULTS Features established in the cross-sectional imaging mode as well as additional features were present in the en-face mode of FD-OCT: lobulated structures (100%), dark peritumoral rim (75%), bright peritumoral stroma (96%), branching vessels (90%), compressed fibrous bundles between lobulated nests ('star shaped') (78%), and intranodular small bright dots (51%). These features were also evaluated according to the histopathological subtype. In the en-face mode, the lobulated structures with compressed fibrous bundles of the BCC were more distinct than in the slice mode. CONCLUSION FD-OCT with a new depiction for horizontal and vertical imaging modes offers additional information in the diagnosis of BCC, especially in nodular BCC, and enhances the possibility of the evaluation of morphologic tumour features.
