Catheter Fracture

This 55-year-old female had a chest X-ray during a follow-up visit for the management of her breast cancer. The chest X-ray demonstrated an embolized venous catheter superimposed upon the mediastinum. It was determined that the catheter of the patient's arm port had fractured and embolized to the pulmonary circulation. The catheter was retrieved, in the interventional radiology suite, under fluoroscopic guidance. The patient suffered no ill effects. Subsequently, one day later, the old vein port was removed and a new arm port and associated catheter were implanted to facilitate the delivery of the patient's ongoing chemotherapy.

6575 Background: Human papilloma virus (HPV) associated oropharyngeal cancer is associated with a favorable prognosis, but standard multimodality treatment is associated with substantial treatment related toxicity. A de-escalation treatment paradigm that optimizes oncologic outcomes while reducing toxicity is needed. We sought to further expound on our published OPTIMA data with long-term follow-up and additional pts subsequently treated using the OPTIMA treatment paradigm. Methods: Long-term follow-up of our institutional de-escalation OPTIMA trial (NCT02258659) and retrospective review of additional patients treated subsequently per OPTIMA outline was performed. Pts were classified as low-risk (LR) (≤T3, ≤N2B, ≤10PYH) or high-risk (HR) (T4, ≥N2c, > 10PYH). Pts received induction chemotherapy (IC) of 3 cycles of dose dense carboplatin and nab-paclitaxel (OPTIMA) or paclitaxel (subsequently treated). LR with ≥50% response received low-dose radiotherapy (RT) to 50 Gy. LR with 30-50% response or HR with ≥50% response received intermediate-dose chemoradiotherapy (CRT) to 45Gy. All others received full-dose CRT to 75Gy. Results: 108 pts consented and 107 were treated (61 on study; 46 subsequently) from October 2014 through November 2019. 1 pt transferred care post-enrollment. Median follow-up was 36 months (interquartile range 17-45). Median age was 63 years (range 33-84) and 95% were male. 47% were LR and 53% were HR. ≥50% tumor shrinkage occurred in 78/107 (73%) of pts overall, and 37/51 (73%) among LR; 41/56 (73%) among HR. 82% of pts received de-escalated (C)RT. Overall, 94% of pts were alive at last follow-up (98% LR; 89% HR). 3 pts (2 HR and 1 LR) developed disease recurrence (2.7%), with 2 local recurrences and 1 distant recurrence. Likelihood of G-tube placement was 3% in low-dose RT, 35% in intermediate-dose CRT, and 84% in full-dose CRT. Conclusions: IC followed by risk-adapted dose and volume de-escalated treatment for HPV+ oropharyngeal cancer demonstrates excellent oncologic and functional outcomes with long-term follow-up.

AbstractNeurobiology-based interventions for mental diseases and searches for useful biomarkers of treatment response have largely failed. Clinical trials should assess interventions related to environmental and social stressors, with long-term follow-up; social rather than biological endpoints; personalized outcomes; and suitable cluster, adaptive, and n-of-1 designs. Labor, education, financial, and other social/political decisions should be evaluated for their impacts on mental disease.
