Preoperative intensity-modulated chemoradiotherapy with simultaneous integrated boost in rectal cancer : five-year follow-up results of a phase II study
Jasna But-Hadžić, Anja Meden Boltežar, Tina Škerl, Vesna Zadnik, Vaneja Velenik, 2021, original scientific article

Abstract: We conducted a phase II study to investigate the feasibility and safety of preoperative radiochemo-therapy experimental fractionation, using intensity-modulated radiation therapy with simultaneous integrated boost (IMRT SIB) to shorten the overall treatment time without dose escalation in intermediate/locally advanced rectal cancer with the aim to improving treatment outcome.Patients and methods. A total of 51 patients with operable stage II–III rectal carcinoma were included between January 2014 and January 2015. Fifty patients completed preoperative IMRT treatment with an elective dose of 41.8 Gy and simultaneously delivered 46.2 Gy to T2/T3 and 48.4 Gy to T4 tumour in 22 fractions, with concomitant capecit-abine (825 mg/m2/12 h, including at weekends). Median follow-up was 70 months (range 11–80 m).Results. Forty-seven patients completed treatment per protocol. Acute toxicity occurred in 2 (4%) patients. R0 resec-tion was achieved in all but 1 and pathologic complete response (pCR) in 12 (25.5%) patients who had 5-year overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS) and local control (LC) of 91.7%, 100% and 100%, respectively. The intention-to-treat analysis showed that the type of surgery significantly moderated OS and DFS, while total downstaging and pN were predictive for DFS only. For treatment per protocol 5-year OS, DFS and LC were 80.9% (95% confidence interval [CI] 69.7–92.1), 77.1% (95% CI 65.1–89.1) and 95.2% (95% CI 88.7–100), respectively. The proportion of patients with severe late (CTCAE G ≥ 3) gastrointestinal, urinary and sexual toxicity was 15%, 2% and 8% respectively, with one reported secondary carcinoma.

Onkološko genetsko svetovanje in testiranje : odnos, poznavanje in praksa zdravnikov na primarni ravni : povzetek Prešernove naloge
Tina Škerl, Anja Meden Boltežar, Mateja Krajc, Vaneja Velenik, 2016, original scientific article

Abstract: Ocenjuje se, da je 5 do 10 % rakov dednih. Za osebe, ki imajo visoko verjetnost za dednega raka, je indicirano onkološko genetsko svetovanje. Poročila Ambulante za onkološko genetsko svetovanje Onkološkega inštituta Ljubljana kažejo, da slovenski zdravniki, predvsem na področju dednega raka debelega črevesa in danke, bolnike premalo napotujejo na onkološko genetsko svetovanje ter gensko testiranje. Namen raziskave je bil ugotoviti, koliko splošni zdravniki in specialisti družinske medicine v Sloveniji vedo o družinskih ter dedno pogojenih oblikah raka in zakaj na svetovanje ter testiranje ne napotujejo svojih pacientov. V okviru presečne raziskave smo slovenskim splošnim zdravnikom in specialistom družinske medicine poslali povezavo do anonimnega spletnega vprašalnika. Pri tem odgovori kažejo, da 49 % vprašanih v zadnjem letu na svetovanje in testiranje ni napotilo nobenega bolnika, 22 % zdravnikov pa ni dovolj seznanjenih z indikacijami za napotitev na svetovanje in testiranje. Nadalje 41 % zdravnikov nima dovolj časa za preverjanje družinske anamneze v smislu raka. Na 18 zastavljenih vprašanj o dednih rakih so povprečno pravilno odgovorili na 8,5 ± 3,2 oziroma 47-odstotno. Na vprašanja o dednem raku dojk so ženske zbrale 11 % več pravilnih odgovorov kot moški. Zdravniki, ki so napotili vsaj enega bolnika, so pravilno rešili povprečno 4 % več vprašanj kot tisti, ki niso napotili nobenega bolnika. Splošni zdravniki v Sloveniji premalo napotujejo bolnike in njihove svojce na onkološko genetsko svetovanje ter testiranje, ker niso dovolj seznanjeni z indikacijami za napotitev in ker nimajo dovolj časa za preverjanje družinske anamneze v smislu raka pri svojih bolnikih med rednim delom.
