2550 Background: Genomic profiling of single core biopsies (bx) are confounded intratumoral heterogeneity, resulting in sampling bias. We explored the use of a novel technique to obtain multiple bx from single metastatic lesion in pts to evaluate heterogeneity and identify therapeutic ATM. Methods: 15 pts (5 NSCLC; 3 ovarian; 2 colon, 2 uterine and 1 breast, cervix and HCC) with biopsiable lesions were identified. Using a single pass radiologically guided percutaneous bx technique, we obtained multiple spatially distinct core bx samples from a single metastatic lesion. Each bx underwent DNA extraction and WES using the NextSeq500. Results: Median of 4 core bx were obtained from each lesion. Complication rate utilizing this technique was 0%. 2 pts were omitted from analysis due to poor quality DNA with 13 pts successfully sequenced. In 1 pt, only 2 of 4 cores were successfully sequenced. The median amounts of total and non-synonymous variants were 137 (27-1286) and 66 (10-649) respectively. The median (range) filtered variants detected in 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, and 4/4 bx cores was 63(16-91)%, 5(1-65)%, 4(0-30)% and 26(0-63)% respectively, suggesting significant subclonal diversity within a single lesion. ATMs were identitified in 8/13 pts. 4/13 pts (31%) had no ATM across all 4 cores. 3 pts received therapy with inhibitors targeting ATMs. A pt with AKT1_E17K ATM received an AKT inhibitor with 21% tumour shrinkage and PFS 6.1 mths. 2 NSCLC pts harbouring an EGFR_T790M ATM were treated with an EGFRT790M specific TKI. 1 withdrew due to toxicity after 2mths and another had PFS > 16.5 mths. Tumour mutational burden (TMB) was consistent across multiple bx from each lesion. A NSCLC pt with the highest TMB received a checkpoint inhibitor with ongoing > 4 mths stable disease. Conclusions: Utilizing a single pass radiologically guided techniqueto obtainmultiple bx is feasible, safe and informative. This allows reconstruction of a tumour’s subclonal genomic architecture, providing insights into mutational heterogeneity and help guide therapy.

Purpose: to investigate the diagnostic opportunities of contrast  magnetic resonance imaging with the effect of magnetization transfer effect in the diagnosis of focal metastatic lesions in the brain.Materials and methods.Images of contrast MRI of the brain of 16  patients (mean age 49 ± 18.5 years) were analysed. Diagnosis of  the direction is focal brain lesion. All MRI studies were carried out  using the Toshiba Titan Octave with magnetic field of 1.5 T. The  contrast agent is “Magnevist” at concentration of 0.2 ml/kg was  used. After contrasting process two T1-weighted studies were  performed: without T1-SE magnetization transfer with parameters of pulse: TR = 540 ms, TE = 12 ms, DFOV = 24 sm, MX = 320 × 224  and with magnetization transfer – T1-SE-MTC with parameters of pulse: ΔF = −210 Hz, FA(МТС) = 600°, TR = 700 ms, TE = 10 ms,  DFOV = 23.9 sm, MX = 320 x 224. For each detected metastatic  lesion, a contrast-to-brain ratio (CBR) was calculated. Comparative  analysis of CBR values was carried out using a non-parametric  Wilcoxon test at a significance level p < 0.05. To evaluate the  sensitivity and specificity of the techniques in the detection of  metastatic foci (T1-SE and T1-SE-MTC), ROC analysis was used. The sample is divided into groups: 1 group is foci ≤5 mm in size, 2  group is foci from 6 to 10 mm, and 3 group is foci >10 mm. Results.Comparative analysis of CBR using non-parametric Wilcoxon test showed that the values of the CBR on T1-weighted  images with magnetization transfer are significantly higher (p  <0.001) that on T1-weighted images without magnetization transfer. According to the results of the ROC analysis, sensitivity in detecting  metastases (n = 90) in the brain on T1-SE-MTC and T1-SE was  91.7% and 81.6%, specificity was 100% and 97.6%, respectively.  The accuracy of the T1-SE-MTC is 10% higher in comparison with  the technique without magnetization transfer. Significant differences (p < 0.01) between the size of the foci detected in post-contrast T1- weighted images with magnetization transfer and in post-contrast  T1-weighted images without magnetization transfer, in particular for  foci ≤5 mm in size, were found. Conclusions1. Comparative analysis of CBR showed significant (p < 0.001)  increase of contrast between metastatic lesion and white matter on  T1-SE-MTC in comparison with T1-SE.2. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the magnetization transfer program (T1-SE-MTC) in detecting foci of  metastatic lesions in the brain is significantly higher (p < 0.01), relative to T1-SE.3. The T1-SE-MTC program allows detecting more foci in comparison with T1-SE, in particular foci of ≤5 mm (96% and 86%, respectively, with p < 0.05).

This article presents a clinical case demonsratinga high metastatic potential of clear cell renal cell carcinoma combined with atypical metastases to breast and paranasal sinuses. The prevalence of metastatic lesions to the breast and paranasal sinuses in various malignant tumors depending on their morphological forms is analyzed. The authors present an analysis of data published for the last 30 years. The optimal diagnostic algorithms to detect the progression of renal cell carcinoma and to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment are considered.

Long Term Follow Up

Most of melanomas of the gallbladder are metastatic lesions of cutaneous melanoma. Primary melanomas of the gallbladder are described as single, polypoid, intraluminal masses emanating from the mucous membrane. The most important characteristic is the absence of melanoma damage to the skin. If it is not possible to localize primary melanoma a multidisciplinary approach to diagnostic search comes to the fore. Predicting for primary melanoma of the gallbladder is a difficult task due to the small number of cases and the absence of long-term follow-up for this category of patients.

Epidemiological studies show an increase in the number of people with cancer. Bone metastases are a frequent manifestation of generalized cancer, because it is in malignant tumors of the spine more often than other bones of the skeleton becomes a target for metastasis. The article describes in detail the methods of diagnosis of spinal lesions in cancer pathology. Particular attention is paid to the scales reflecting the severity of the patient’s condition, the degree of spinal cord damage, the severity of pain in metastasis to the spine, the prognosis of survival in oncovertebrology and evaluation of the stability of the spine in metastatic lesions. Further, the paper presents non-radical (decompression, vertebroplasty) and radical (spondylectomy, corporectomy) surgical methods of treatment
