Mammographic features are associated with specific clinicopathological features of pre-NAC BC lesions but do not predict pCR. The implications and biological reasons for these findings require further study.

Factors associated with both initial tumor and clinical features at BM time are associated with shorter survival in our Latinas population.

Introduction There are scant data on renal cell carcinoma (RCC) from relatively younger patients in South America using contemporary classification. Methods Fifty-nine consecutively treated patients with RCC (≤40 years old) were assessed from the National Institute of Neoplastic Diseases in Peru from 2008 to 2020 (34 males; 25 females), age range of 13 to 40 years. Results Most common presenting symptoms were flank pain (n = 40), hematuria (n = 19), and weight loss (n = 12). Associated conditions included 4 patients with proven or presumed tuberous sclerosis and 1 patient with von Hippel Lindau syndrome, all with clear cell RCC. Tumor histopathology was clear cell RCC in 32 of 59 (54%), chromophobe RCC in 6 of 59 (10%), and 5 of 59 (8%) each of papillary RCC and MiT family translocation-associated RCC. Four of 59 (7%) were FH-deficient RCC and 2 of 59 (3%) remained unclassified. The remaining tumors were isolated examples of clear cell papillary renal cell tumor, eosinophilic solid and cystic RCC (ESC RCC), RCC with fibromyomatous stroma, sarcomatoid RCC, and sarcomatoid clear cell RCC. Of the 4 FH-deficient RCCs, none had the classic morphology. The 5 MiT family translocation RCCs had variable morphology. There were 41 tumors without recurrence or metastases, 3 tumors with local recurrence only, 8 tumors with metastases only, and 7 tumors with both local recurrence and metastases. Conclusions The current study demonstrates the importance of special studies in accurately classifying RCC in younger individuals. The distribution of RCC subtypes in younger individuals is similar between 2 representative large institutions of the United States and Peru.

Objetivos. Evaluar la frecuencia y factores asociados al compromiso parametrial (CP) en pacientes con cáncer de cérvix IB-1 sometidas a histerectomía radical (HR) en el Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Neoplásicas del Perú. Materiales y métodos. Estudio transversal analítico en 214 pacientes con cáncer de cérvix IB-1 sometidas a HR con linfadenectomía pélvica entre el 2007 y 2012. Se comparó la población con y sin CP según variables clinicopatológicas como edad, tamaño tumoral, profundidad de infiltración, grado histológico y afectación ganglionar pélvica. Resultados. Diez pacientes (4,6%) presentaron CP. El análisis multivariable mostró que la profundidad de la invasión (OR 8,37, IC 95%: 1,41, p=0,029) y el compromiso de ganglios pélvicos (OR 18,03, IC 95%: 3,44, p=0,001) resultaron ser predictores independientes del CP. La presencia de tamaño tumoral ≤ 2 cm, invasión ≤ 10 mm, ausencia de permeación linfovascular y ausencia de compromiso ganglionar permitió identificar 97 pacientes de bajo riesgo de CP, de los cuales ninguno tuvo CP en patología. Conclusiones. Confirmamos la baja frecuencia del CP en el subgrupo de cáncer de cervix IB-1 y su asociación con la profundidad de la invasión y con el compromiso ganglionar linfático sugeridos en estudios previos. Esta información permitirá identificar un subgrupo de pacientes con bajo riesgo de CP candidatas a una cirugía menos radical en nuestra institución.

PARAMETRIAL INVOLVEMENT IN CERVICAL CANCER IB1 PATIENTS TREATED WITH RADICAL HYSTERECTOMY IN PERU ABSTRACTObjectives. To assess the frequency and factors associated with parametrial involvement (PI) in patients with cervical cancer IB1 who underwent radical hysterectomy (RH) at the National Institute of Neoplastic Diseases in Peru. Materials and methods. Cross-sectional study of 214 patients with cervical cancer IB1 undergoing RH with pelvic lymphadenectomy between 2007 and 2012. The population was compared with and without clinicopathological variables associated with PI such as age, tumor size, depth of infiltration, histological grade and pelvic lymph node involvement. Results. Ten patients (4.6%) had PI. Multivariate analysis showed that the depth of invasion (OR 8.37, p=0.029) and pelvic node involvement (OR 18.03; p=0.001) were all independent predictors of PI. The presence of tumor size ≤ 2 cm, invasion ≤ 10 mm, absence of lymphovascular permeation and absence of nodal involvement identified 97 patients at low risk of PI, none of whom had PI pathology. Conclusions. We confirmed the low frequency of PI in the cervical cancer IB1 subgroup and its association with the depth of invasion and lymph node involvement suggested in previous studies. This information will allow the identification of a subgroup of patients at low risk of PI for less radical surgery in our institution.
