Laparoscopic adrenalectomy has been shown to be as safe and effective as conventional open surgery for small and benign adrenal lesions. With increasing experience with laparoscopic adrenalectomy, this approach has become the procedure of choice for the majority of patients requiring adrenalectomy. In our department, from 2011 to 2016, a total of 28 patients with 31 adrenal tumours underwent laparoscopic adrenalectomy regardless of tumour size. Our policy in the department is to exclude adrenal tumours that are potentially malignant or metastatic adrenal tumours for laparoscopic resection. In this a retrospective study, we divided patients into two groups according to tumour size: < 5 or ≥ 5 cm, which was considered as the definition of large adrenal tumours. We compared demographic data and per- and postoperative outcomes. There was no statistical difference between the two groups for per-operative complications (16,6% vs 18,75% , P = 0.71), postoperative complications (16,6% vs 18,75% , P = 0.71), postoperative length of hospital stay (5 vs 8 days P = 0.40), mortality (0% vs 0%) or oncologic outcomes: recurrence and metastasis (8.3% vs 6.25% P = 0.70). The only statistical difference was the operating time, at a mean (SD) 194 (60) vs 237 (71) min (P = 0.039) and the conversion rate (0% vs 12.5% P < 0.01). Laparoscopic adrenalectomy can be done for all patients with adrenal tumours regardless of tumour size, even it needs more time for large tumour but appears to be safe and feasible when performed by experienced surgeons.

Background: Adrenalectomies are rare procedures especially in childhood. So far, no large cohort study on this topic has been published with data on to age distribution, operative procedures, hospital volume and operative outcome.

Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of anonymized nationwide hospital billing data (DRG data, 2009-2017). Read More

Biochemical Diagnosis of Catecholamine-Producing Tumors of Childhood: Neuroblastoma, Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma.

Authors:
Graeme Eisenhofer Mirko Peitzsch Nicole Bechmann Angela Huebner

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2022 26;13:901760. Epub 2022 Jul 26.

Department of Pediatrics, Universitätsklinikum Carl Gustav Carus Dresden, Technische Universität Dresden, Dresden, Germany.

Catecholamine-producing tumors of childhood include most notably neuroblastoma, but also pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL). Diagnosis of the former depends largely on biopsy-dependent histopathology, but this is contraindicated in PPGL where diagnosis depends crucially on biochemical tests of catecholamine excess. Such tests retain some importance in neuroblastoma though continue to largely rely on measurements of homovanillic acid (HVA) and vanillylmandelic acid (VMA), which are no longer recommended for PPGL.

Fox Chase Cancer Center, 333 Cottman Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19111, USA.

Neurogenic tumors arise from cells of the nervous system. These tumors can be found anywhere along the distribution of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system and are categorized based on cell of origin: ganglion cell, paraganglion cell, and nerve sheath cells. Ganglion cell-derived tumors include neuroblastomas, ganglioneuroblastomas, and ganglioneuromas. Read More

Rong Ma Qian Zhao Ren Zhao Juan Li Yan-Yang Wang

Nucl Med Commun 2022 Sep 23;43(9):1026-1033. Epub 2022 Jun 23.

Department of Radiation Oncology, General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University.

Aims: The purpose of this study was to define metabolic oligometastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by using the number of metastatic lesions and 18F-FDG PET/CT parameters.

Methods: One hundred twenty-four newly diagnosed stage IV NSCLC patients who received pretreatment 18F-FDG PET/CT examination were retrospectively analyzed. The maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of primary and metastatic lesions and the collected clinical parameters were fed into the univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard model.
