e17518 Background:Long time the patients with high-differentiated thyroid cancer with distant metastases had only one type of treatment. It was radioiodine therapy courses and follow-up. In cases of revealed radioiodine (RAI) refractory process we did not have possibilities for treatment this category of patients. Results of trials DECISION and SELECT gave to oncologist new keys for successful treatment. We present our group of RAI refractory thyroid cancer patients, which was treated by Lenvatinib like routine clinical practice. Methods:We have on treatment 8 patients (3-male, 5-female). Histologically – papillary thyroid carcinoma. Provisions of national clinical recommendations were considered as criteria of a RAI-refractory status. Existence of a symptomatic progression of a tumor was main criterion. Results:Six patients received from 7 to 14 month courses of treatment. All these patients are revealed partial response of the tumor lesions by PET-FDG-CT and the dramatically decrease of thyroglobulin level is noted. Two patients stopped treatment after 1 month of therapy. One patient due to destructive pneumonia, other patient – death due to myocardial infarction. Adverse events not related with Lenvatinib. The adverse events were controllable. We noted the expressed arterial hypertension. Before correction of a dose of a drug increase of arterial pressure more than 160/100 mm Hg is noted. Arterial pressure managed to be corrected the combined scheme of therapy (amlodipin, bisoprolol, hydrochlorthiazide). Correction of a dose of lenvatinib is made at 3 patients to 20 mg daily, 2 patient – 14. Conclusions:Introduction of a lenvatinib clinical practice is very successful. But we noted of important accurate expert selection of patients for treatment after establishment of a condition of a RAI-refractory and revealed really symptomatic progression, adequate correction of the adverse effects (arterial hypertension) and well-timed correction of a dose of a lenvatinib.
Many recently emerging component-based Web portal application platforms allow end users to compose dynamic Web dialogues on the fly. Experts predict that this paradigm will enable a class of new applications for Web-based content delivery in information-rich, agile business domains, such as health care. We present a conceptual analysis of the user-based composition paradigm currently used and argue that its usability is limited with respect to complex, dynamic applications. To overcome these limitations, we present an alternative composition paradigm, which is based on a semantic model of a portal’s application domain. We evaluate this approach with an application scenario in the health care domain.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
