RESUMO
Multilocular cystic renal cell carcinoma has been recently excluded from clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC) category and re-designated as multilocular cystic renal neoplasm of low malignant potential (MCRNLMP) due to its uniformly good outcomes. While strict distinction between MCRNLMP from predominantly cystic CCRCC (pc-CCRCC) is being emphasized, the significance of extensive true cystic component in CCRCC has not been investigated. Herein, we analyzed 57 MCRNLMP, 69 pc-CCRCC, and 46 non-cystic CCRCC. There were no statistically significant differences between the three subtypes in age, gender, and laterality. ISUP grades were 1 (73%) or 2 (27%) for MCRNLMP; for pc-CCRCC were 1 (31%), 2 (60%), and 3 (9%); and for non-cystic CCRCC were 1 (9%), 2 (52%), 3 (26%), and 4 (13%). MCRNLMP were either pT stage 1 (91%) or 2 (9%), pT stages for pc-CCRCC were 1 (92.5%), 2 (1.5%), and 3 (6%) and for non-cystic CCRCC were 1 (58.7%), 2 (6.5%), and 3 (34.8%). None of MCRNLMP patients developed recurrences or metastases, and only 1 contralateral kidney tumor and 1 metastasis developed in pc-CCRCC. In contrast, 19 patients with non-cystic CCRCC developed metastases (5-year PFS 58%, CI 38.3-73.5%), and 1 patient died of disease. Monosomy 3 was common in both MCRNLMP (3/3) and pc-CCRCC (6/7). This large series of MCRNLMP confirms its indolent behavior, shows that pc-CCRCC has significantly better prognosis than non-cystic CCRCC and may define the lower grade spectrum of CCRCC. We recommend that the presence and extent of CCRCC cystic component should be documented in the pathology report.

OBJECTIVE. Serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC) is currently considered the precursor lesion of pelvic (i.e., ovarian or peritoneal) high-grade serous carcinoma. The incidence of STIC has been reported to range from 0.6% to 7% in BRCA mutations carriers. However, the clinical outcome of patients with 'isolated' STIC remains elusive. The aim of this study is to review the published literature on isolated STIC to determine outcomes of these ients and present a summary of management strategies. METHODS. A systematic English-language literature search was conducted in PubMed, MEDLINE-Ovid, Scopus, EBSCO host, Cochrane Library of articles published from February 2006 to April 2015. Study inclusion criteria for review were the following: risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO), BRCA mutation carriers, non-BRCA mutation carriers, and benign surgical indication. Exclusion criteria were as follows: the presence of synchronous gynecological cancers, concurrent non-gynecological malignancies, the presence of ovarian intraepithelial lesions, and articles that did not include any clinical information and were restricted to pathology information only. RESULTS. A total of 78 patients with isolated STIC were included in our analysis. The median age for all patients was 53.7 years (range; 37-83). Surgical indication was RRSO in 67 patients with BRCA mutations or high-risk personal or family history. In the other 11 patients, an incidental STIC was detected after surgery for non-cancerous indications. Eleven (16.4%) patients received chemotherapy after the diagnosis of STIC. The follow-up time ranged from 2 to 150 months. Three (4.5%) patients with BRCA mutations were diagnosed with primary peritoneal carcinoma (PPC) during the follow-up at 43, 48 and 72 months after RRSO. CONCLUSIONS. The rate of primary peritoneal carcinoma in patients with BRCA mutations and isolated STIC is 4.5%. The role of adjuvant therapy remains elusive and routine surveillance with tumor markers and imaging is not warranted.

BACKGROUND: MicroRNAs (miRs) have been implicated in the etiology of various human cancers. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of the expression of three members--miR 200a, miR 200b, and miR 200c belonging to the miR-200 family with clinicopathological characteristics and their impact on the progression of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Total RNA from serum was isolated by Trizol method, polyadenylated, and reverse transcribed into cDNA. Expression levels of miR-200a, miR-200b, and miR-200c were detected by using miRNA qRT-PCR. We measured miR expression in 70 serum samples of EOC patients with matched controls using U6 snRNA as a reference. Levels of miR expression was compared with distinct clinicopathological features. RESULTS: Expression of miR-200a was found to be greater than six-fold (p = 0.01), miR-200b and miR-200c greater than three-fold (p = 0.01) in comparison with matched normal controls. Association of miRNA expression with clinicopathological factors and progression was statistically evaluated. The expression levels of miR-200a and miR-200c were found to be significantly associated with disease progression (p = 0.04 and p < 0.001, respectively). miR-200a overexpression was found be associated with tumor histology and stage. Patients with lymph node metastasis showed significant elevation of miR-200c (p = 0.006). The AUC in ROC curve also indicated that serum levels of miR-200a and miR-200c might be worthwhile as a diagnostic tool in the near future. CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that miR-200a, miR-200b, and miR-200c overexpressions are associated with the aggressive tumor progression and be recognized as reliable markers to predict the prognosis and survival in EOC patients.
