11. Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI of malignant pleural mesothelioma : a comparative study of pharmacokinetic models and correlation with mRECIST criteriaMartina Vivoda Tomšič, Sotirios Bisdas, Viljem Kovač, Igor Serša, Katarina Šurlan Popović, 2019, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: BACKGROUND: Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare and aggressive thoracic malignancy that is difficult to cure. Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI is a functional imaging technique used to analyze tumor microvascular properties and to monitor therapy response. Purpose of this study was to compare two tracer kinetic models, the extended Tofts (ET) and the adiabatic approximation tissue homogeneity model (AATH) for analysis of DCE-MRI and examine the value of the DCE parameters to predict response to chemotherapy in patients with MPM. METHOD: This prospective, longitudinal, single tertiary radiology center study was conducted between October 2013 and July 2015. Patient underwent DCE-MRI studies at three time points: prior to therapy, during and after cisplatin-based chemotherapy. The images were analyzed using ET and AATH models. In short-term follow-up, the patients were classified as having disease control or progressive disease according to modified response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (mRECIST) criteria. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to examine specificity and sensitivity of DCE parameters for predicting response to therapy. Comparison tests were used to analyze whether derived parameters are interchangeable between the two models. RESULTS: Nineteen patients form the study population. The results indicate that the derived parameters are not interchangeable between the models. Significant correlation with response to therapy was found for AATH-calculated median pre-treatment efflux rate (kep) showing sensitivity of 83% and specificity of 100% (AUC 0.9). ET-calculated maximal pre-treatment kep showed 100% sensitivity and specificity for predicting treatment response during the early phase of the therapy and reached a favorable trend to significant prognostic value post-therapy. CONCLUSION: Both models show potential in predicting response to therapy in MPM. High pre-treatment kep values suggest MPM disease control post-chemotherapy.

12. Uporabnost slikovno preiskovalnih metod pri določanju HPV statusa karcinomov glave in vratuCene Jerele, Katarina Šurlan Popović, 2018, strokovni članek Povzetek: Karcinomi glave in vratu predstavljajo pomemben zdravstveni problem in so šesti najpogostejši karcinom na svetu. Okoli 90 % karcinomov glave in vratu je ploščatoceličnih karcinomov, ki predstavljajo globalno letno incidenco okoli 650.000, v Sloveniji pa okoli 440 primerov (2015).
V zadnjih desetletjih strmo raste incidenca karcinomov orofarinksa. Vzrok je epidemija okužb s humanim papiloma virusom (HPV), visokorizični tip 16 izoliramo kar iz 40–60 % ploščatoceličnih karcinomov orofarinksa. Bolniki s HPV-pozitivnimi PCKGV imajo občutno boljše preživetje in odzivnost na zdravljenje v primerjavi s HPV-negativnimi, zaradi česar je postalo določanje HPV statusa karcinoma ključno pri načrtovanju zdravljenja in napovedi preživetja. Trenutni zlati standard za dokaz HPV predstavlja pomnoževanje virusne RNA z verižno reakcijo s polimerazo, čedalje večjo veljavo pa dobivajo tudi radiološke slikovno preiskovalne metode. Zaenkrat izključno s pomočjo tovrstnih metod ne moremo rutinsko razlikovati med HPV-pozitivnimi in HPV-negativnimi karcinomi. Kljub temu pa raziskave kažejo na specifične, tudi radiološke lastnosti HPV-pozitivnih karcinomov, ki jih poleg rezultatov ostalih preiskav lahko uporabimo pri določanju HPV statusa. Vrednotimo tako primarni karcinom kot zasevke v bezgavkah. Primarni HPV-pozitivni karcinomi so v primerjavi s HPV-negativnimi običajno manjši, bolje zamejeni, metabolno manj aktivni in z manj nekrozami ter ulceracijami. Značilno se pojavljajo v tonzilarni regiji in na bazi jezika. Zasevki v bezgavkah so pri HPV-pozitivnih karcinomih zgodnejši in pogostejši kot pri HPV-negativnih, poleg tega imajo pogosteje cističen videz.
