Bei Frauen liegt es auf dem zweiten Platz, allerdings besteht aktuell eine Tendenz das Mammakarzinom zu {\"u}berholen. 2014 erkrankten in Deutschland 53.840 Menschen an Lungenkrebs. Auf Grund der demographischen Entwicklung und der zunehmenden Inzidenz wird mit einem weiteren Anstieg der Neuerkrankungsraten in den n{\"a}chsten Jahren gerechnet. Da es aktuell keine wirksamen Screening Programme gibt und der Großteil der Erkrankungen erst in einem fortgeschrittenen Stadium entdeckt wird, nimmt auch die Bedeutung an individualisierten palliativen Therapien weiter zu. In der vorliegenden Auswertung wurde untersucht, ob sich bei Patienten mit einem fortgeschrittenen Bronchialkarzinom und einer aktivierenden EGFR-Mutation unter einer TKI-Therapie ein {\"U}berlebensvorteil gegen{\"u}ber einer konventionellen platinbasierten Chemotherapie zeigt. Die Daten hierf{\"u}r wurden retrospektiv aus dem Tumorregister des CCC-MF gewonnen, um eine Untersuchung unter „real life" Bedingungen zu erm{\"o}glichen. Grundlage der Auswertung bildeten Patienten, die von 2005 bis 2013 an einem Bronchialkarzinom erkrankten und am UKW behandelt wurden. Das Follow-up wurde am 31.05.2016 beendet. Insgesamt wurden 1154 F{\"a}lle gefunden, von denen 898 an einem NSCLC litten. Die weiteren Auswertungen haben sich auf das NSCLC-Kollektiv beschr{\"a}nkt. Aus der Datenbank des Tumorregisters, der Datenbank der Pathologie des UKW sowie mit Hilfe des Patientendokumentationsprogrammes SAP wurden folgenden Parameter erhoben: Geschlecht, Alter bei Diagnose, Diagnosejahr, Tumorstadium, Histologie, EGFR-Mutationsstatus, ECOG, Art der Therapien, TKI-Therapie Zweitmalignome, Metastasenlokalisationen sowie das Gesamt{\"u}berleben und ggf. der Todeszeitpunkt. Nach ausf{\"u}hrlichen Recherchen konnten die meisten Parameter vollst{\"a}ndig ermittelt werden. Lediglich beim EGFR-Mutationsstatus bestand die Limitation, dass nicht alle Patienten eine Mutationsanalyse erhalten hatten. Aus diesem Grund gibt es f{\"u}r einige Patienten eine unbekannte EGFR-Situation. 50 Vergleicht man die deskriptiven Ergebnisse mit Angaben aus der Literatur, konnte eine repr{\"a}sentative Verteilung der Patientenmerkmale ermittelt werden, sodass eine Relevanz der Ergebnisse angenommen werden kann. Die Geschlechterverteilung im NSCLC-Kollektiv war 65,8 \% M{\"a}nner und 34,2 \% Frauen. Das durchschnittliche Erkrankungsalter lag f{\"u}r M{\"a}nner bei 66,2 Jahren und f{\"u}r Frauen bei 64,1 Jahren. Mit {\"u}ber 50 \% fand sich bei den histologischen Typen vor allem das Adenokarzinom vor. Plattenepithelkarzinome hatten einen Anteil von 24,4 \%. Wie aus der Literatur bekannt, befand sich ein Großteil der Patienten bei Diagnosestellung bereits in einem fortgeschrittenen Stadium. Das UICC-Stadium IV machte dabei 48,8 \% und das UICC-Stadium IIIB 11,0 \% des Gesamtkollektivs aus. 178 Patienten erhielten im Laufe des Beobachtungszeitraumes eine Therapie mit einem TKI. Darunter befanden sich, {\"u}ber alle Stadien hinweg, 26 Patienten mit einer positiven EGFR-Mutation. Insgesamt trat die EGFR-Mutation zum Großteil unter Adenokarzinom-Histologie auf. Frauen hatten signifikant h{\"a}ufiger einen positiven EGFR-Mutationsnachweis als M{\"a}nner. Das mediane {\"U}berleben betrug f{\"u}r alle 898 Patienten 16,9 Monate. Getrennt nach Geschlechtern hatten Frauen mit 22,6 Monaten medianem {\"U}berleben einen signifikanten Vorteil gegen{\"u}ber M{\"a}nnern mit nur 15,6 Monaten. Ebenso fand sich bei Patienten mit einer bronchioloalveol{\"a}ren Histologie ein signifikanter {\"U}berlebensvorteil gegen{\"u}ber allen anderen histologischen Typen. Im Gegensatz dazu hatten großzellige Karzinome ein signifikant schlechteres {\"U}berleben als die anderen Histologien. Ein weiterer wichtiger Einflussfaktor auf die Prognose stellt das UICC-Stadium dar. So nehmen mit steigendem UICC-Stadium das mediane {\"U}berleben sowie das 5-J{\"U}L ab. Die Auswertung der TKI-Therapie gestaltete sich schwieriger als prim{\"a}r angenommen. Vor allem der sogenannte „immortal time bias", welcher bereits aus anderen Studien bekannt war, sollte einen m{\"o}glichst geringen Einfluss auf die Ergebnisse haben. Aus diesem Grund wurde ein adaptiertes Matched-Pairs-Verfahren f{\"u}r die Analysen verwendet. Dabei wurde zur besseren Vergleichbarkeit eine homogene Gruppe f{\"u}r die TKI-Auswertung ermittelt. Kriterien hierf{\"u}r waren: Adenokarzinom-Histologie, UICC-Stadium IV, Alter bei 51 Diagnose 40 - 80 Jahre, ECOG 0 - 2, und eine mindestens 3-monatige Follow-up Zeit. Matches wurden anhand des Propensity Scores gefunden und mittels Kaplan-Meier-Kurven ausgewertet. Beim Vergleich der Gruppe von Patienten mit negativem EGFR-Mutationsstatus fand sich kein {\"U}berlebensvorteil f{\"u}r eine TKI-Therapie im Gegensatz zu einer konventionellen platinbasierten Chemotherapie. Bei Patienten mit einer aktivierenden Mutation im EGFR-Gen fand sich unter einer TKI-Therapie ein signifikant l{\"a}ngeres Gesamt{\"u}berleben als in der Vergleichsgruppe unter konventioneller Chemotherapie. Die Daten sprechen daf{\"u}r, dass die Ergebnisse aus klinischen Studien mit den Daten des Tumorregisters W{\"u}rzburg reproduzierbar sind. Bei nachgewiesener EGFR-Mutation die TKI-Therapie ein deutlich l{\"a}ngeres {\"U}berleben f{\"u}r den Patienten bietet. Trotz der signifikant l{\"a}ngeren {\"U}berlebenszeit von median 22,5 Monaten zu 15,0 Monaten, zeigte sich ein prognostischer Vorteil haupts{\"a}chlich in den ersten beiden Therapiejahren. Dieses Ph{\"a}nomen kann wahrscheinlich auf eine Resistenzentwicklung der Tumorzellen zur{\"u}ckgef{\"u}hrt werden. Insgesamt kann man sich f{\"u}r eine fl{\"a}chendeckende Testung auf EGFR-Mutationen bei fortgeschrittenen Bronchialkarzinomen aussprechen. Patienten sollte bei einer positiven Mutationsanalyse ein TKI als Erstlinientherapie angeboten werden. In anderen Studien wurde bereits gezeigt, dass diese Therapieform auch mit weniger Nebenwirkungen einhergeht. Eine TKI-Therapie kann f{\"u}r Patienten mit positiver EGFR-Mutation eine l{\"a}ngere {\"U}berlebenszeit in Kombination mit einer besseren Lebensqualit{\"a}t erm{\"o}glichen. Wie in einigen Studien bereits untersucht, sollten nicht nur Adenokarzinom Patienten eine Testung erhalten, sondern auch eine Erweiterung auf andere histologische Gruppen stattfinden. Insgesamt ist es wichtig, dass individualisierte Therapien weiter vorangebracht werden. Dabei darf aber nicht vergessen werden, dass diese neuen Therapien sehr kostspielig sind. Daher sollte immer untersucht werden, ob die in klinisch kontrollierten Studien gefundenen Ergebnisse auch unter „real life" Bedingungen reproduzierbar sind.}, subject = {NSCLC}, language = {de} } @article{HendricksMuellerFassnachtetal.2022, author = {Hendricks, Anne and M{\"u}ller, Sophie and Fassnacht, Martin and Germer, Christoph-Thomas and Wiegering, Verena A. and Wiegering, Armin and Reibetanz, Joachim}, title = {Impact of lymphadenectomy on the oncologic outcome of patients with adrenocortical carcinoma — a systematic review and meta-analysis}, series = {Cancers}, volume = {14}, journal = {Cancers}, number = {2}, issn = {2072-6694}, doi = {10.3390/cancers14020291}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-254798}, year = {2022}, abstract = {(1) Background: Locoregional lymphadenectomy (LND) in adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) may impact oncological outcome, but the findings from individual studies are conflicting. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine the oncological value of LND in ACC by summarizing the available literature. (2) Methods: A systematic search on studies published until December 2020 was performed according to the PRISMA statement. The primary outcome was the impact of lymphadenectomy on overall survival (OS). Two separate meta-analyses were performed for studies including patients with localized ACC (stage I-III) and those including all tumor stages (I-IV). Secondary endpoints included postoperative mortality and length of hospital stay (LOS). (3) Results: 11 publications were identified for inclusion. All studies were retrospective studies, published between 2001-2020, and 5 were included in the meta-analysis. Three studies (N = 807 patients) reported the impact of LND on disease-specific survival in patients with stage I-III ACC and revealed a survival benefit of LND (hazard ratio (HR) = 0.42, 95\% confidence interval (95\% CI): 0.26-0.68). Based on results of studies including patients with ACC stage I-IV (2 studies, N = 3934 patients), LND was not associated with a survival benefit (HR = 1.00, 95\% CI: 0.70-1.42). None of the included studies showed an association between LND and postoperative mortality or LOS.

This systematic review summarizes the published evidence on pediatric adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) to provide a basis for a better understanding of the disease, investigate new molecular biomarkers and therapeutic targets, and define which patients may benefit from a more aggressive therapeutic approach. We included 137 studies with 3680 ACC patients (~65\% female) in our analysis. We found no randomized controlled trials, so this review mainly reflects retrospective data. Due to a specific mutation in the TP53 gene in ~80\% of Brazilian patients, that cohort was analyzed separately from series from other countries. Hormone analysis was described in 2569 of the 2874 patients (89\%). Most patients were diagnosed with localized disease, whereas 23\% had metastasis at primary diagnosis. Only 72\% of the patients achieved complete resection. In 334 children (23\%), recurrent disease was reported: 81\% — local recurrence, 19\% (n = 65) — distant metastases at relapse. Patients < 4 years old had a different distribution of tumor stages and hormone activity and better overall survival (p < 0.001). Although therapeutic approaches are typically multimodal, no consensus is available on effective standard treatments for advanced ACC.

Numerous studies and meta-analyses have been published on the effect of open versus conventional laparoscopic appendectomy (CLA) reporting faster postoperative recovery and less postoperative pain for CLA. A development from CLA has been the single-port appendectomy (SPA), associated with a better cosmesis but seemingly having a higher risk of wound infections. The aim of this systematic literature review and meta-analysis is to investigate whether reduced port or SPA alters the ratio of SSIs. Methods Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane databases were screened for suitable articles. All articles published between January 1, 2002, and March 23, 2022, were included. Articles regarding children below the age of 18 were excluded as well as manuscripts that investigated solemnly open appendectomies. Articles were screened for inclusion criteria by two independent authors. Incidence of SSI was the primary outcome. Duration of operation and length of hospital stay were defined as secondary outcomes. Results A total of 25 studies were found through a database search describing 5484 patients. A total of 2749 patients received SPA and 2735 received CLA. There was no statistical difference in the rate of SSI (P = 0.98). A total of 22 studies including 4699 patients reported the duration of operation (2223 SPA and 2476 CLA). There was a significantly shorter operation time seen in CLA. The length of hospital stay was reported in 23 studies (4735 patients: 2235 SPA and 2500 CLA). A shorter hospital stay was seen in the SPA group (P < 0.00001). Separately performed analysis of randomized controlled trials could not confirm this effect (P = 0.29). Discussion SPA is an equally safe procedure considering SSI compared to CLA and does not lead to an increased risk of SSI. A longer operation time for SPA and a minor difference in the length of stay does lead to the use of SPA in selected patients only.}, language = {en} } @article{MuellerKoehlerHendricksetal.2021, author = {M{\"u}ller, Sophie and K{\"o}hler, Franziska and Hendricks, Anne and Kastner, Carolin and B{\"o}rner, Kevin and Diers, Johannes and Lock, Johan F. and Petritsch, Bernhard and Germer, Christoph-Thomas and Wiegering, Armin}, title = {Brain metastases from colorectal cancer: a systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis to establish a guideline for daily treatment}, series = {Cancers}, volume = {13}, journal = {Cancers}, number = {4}, issn = {2072-6694}, doi = {10.3390/cancers13040900}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-228883}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common malignancy worldwide.

To this day, no valid descriptive analysis on LAMN is available for the German population. Methods Data of LAMN (ICD-10: D37.3) were collected from the population-based cancer registries in Germany, provided by the German Center for Cancer Registry Data (Zentrum f{\"u}r Krebsregisterdaten—ZfKD). Data was anonymized and included gender, age at diagnosis, tumor staging according to the TNM-classification, state of residence, information on the performed therapy, and survival data. Results A total of 612 cases were reported to the ZfKD between 2011 and 2018. A total of 63.07\% were female and 36.93\% were male. Great inhomogeneity in reporting cases was seen in the federal states of Germany including the fact that some federal states did not report any cases at all. Age distribution showed a mean age of 62.03 years (SD 16.15) at diagnosis. However, data on tumor stage was only available in 24.86\% of cases (n = 152). A total of 49.34\% of these patients presented with a T4-stage. Likewise, information regarding performed therapy was available in the minority of patients: 269 patients received surgery, 22 did not and for 312 cases no information was available. Twenty-four patients received chemotherapy, 188 did not, and for 400 cases, no information was available. Overall 5-year survival was estimated at 79.52\%. Patients below the age of 55 years at time of diagnosis had a significantly higher 5-year survival rate compared to patients above the age of 55 years (85.77\% vs. 73.27\%). Discussion In this study, we observed an incidence of LAMN in 0.13\% of all appendectomy specimen in 2018. It seems likely that not all cases were reported to the ZfKD; therefore, case numbers may be considered underestimated. Age and gender distribution goes in line with international studies with females being predominantly affected.

Materials and methods A literature review focused on studies comparing metastasis-directed stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) vs. external elective nodal radiotherapy (ENRT) and studies analyzing recurrence patterns after local nodal treatment was performed. The DEGRO Prostate Cancer Expert Panel discussed the results and developed treatment recommendations. Results Metastasis-directed radiotherapy results in high local control (often > 90\% within a follow-up of 1-2 years) and can be used to improve progression-free survival or defer androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) according to prospective randomized phase II data. Distant progression after involved-node SABR only occurs within a few months in the majority of patients. ENRT improves metastases-free survival rates with increased toxicity in comparison to SABR according to retrospective comparative studies. The majority of nodal recurrences after initial local treatment of pelvic nodal metastasis are detected within the true pelvis and common iliac vessels. Conclusion ENRT with or without a boost should be preferred to SABR in pelvic nodal recurrences. In oligometastatic prostate cancer with distant (extrapelvic) nodal recurrences, SABR alone can be performed in selected cases. Application of additional systemic treatments should be based on current guidelines, with ADT as first-line treatment for hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. Only in carefully selected patients can radiotherapy be initially used without additional ADT outside of the current standard recommendations. Results of (randomized) prospective studies are needed for definitive recommendations.}, language = {en} }
