Recent progress in immunotherapy (IT) and targeted therapy (TT) has led to significant improvements in response and survival rates in metastatic melanoma patients. The current project aims to determine the benefit of the introduction of these new therapies in advanced melanoma across several regions of Switzerland. This is a retrospective multicenter analysis of 395 advanced melanoma patients treated with standard chemotherapy, checkpoint inhibitors, and kinase inhibitors from January 2008 until December 2014. The 1-year survival was 69% (n=121) in patients treated with checkpoint inhibitors (IT), 50% in patients treated with TTs (n=113), 85% in the IT+TT group (n=66), and 38% in patients treated with standard chemotherapy (n=95). The median overall survival (mOS) from first systemic treatment in the entire study cohort was 16.9 months. mOS of patients treated either with checkpoint or kinase inhibitors (n=300, 14.6 months) between 2008 and 2014 was significantly improved (P<0.0001) compared with patients treated with standard chemotherapy in 2008-2009 (n=95, 7.4 months). mOS of 61 patients with brain metastases at stage IV was 8.1 versus 12.5 months for patients without at stage IV (n=334), therefore being significantly different (P=0.00065). Furthermore, a significant reduction in hospitalization duration compared with chemotherapy was noted. Treatment with checkpoint and kinase inhibitors beyond clinical trials significantly improves the mOS in real life and the results are consistent with published prospective trial data.","note":"","tags":"Antibodies, Monoclonal,Cohort Studies,Humans,Immunotherapy,Melanoma,Middle Aged,Retrospective Studies,Skin Neoplasms,Switzerland","weight":6,"publisher":"","booktitle":"","editor":"","address":"","school":"","issn":"1473-5636","isi":"","key":"Mangana2017","howpublished":""} , {userid:"amannvc", "refid":"4","repocollections":"","attachment":"","_thumb":"","articletype":"article","sectionheading":"","title":"Unexpected contribution of lymphatic vessels to promotion of distant metastatic tumor spread.","year":"2018","author":"Qiaoli Ma, Lothar C Dieterich, Kristian Ikenberg, Samia B Bachmann, Johanna Mangana, Steven T Proulx, Valerie C Amann, Mitchell P Levesque, Reinhard Dummer, Peter Baluk, Donald M McDonald, Michael Detmar","journal":"Science advances","volume":"4","number":"8","pages":"","month":"08","doi":"10.1126\/sciadv.aat4758","pubmed":"30101193","pdflink":"","urllink":"","abstract":"Tumor lymphangiogenesis is accompanied by a higher incidence of sentinel lymph node metastasis and shorter overall survival in several types of cancer. We asked whether tumor lymphangiogenesis might also occur in distant organs with established metastases and whether it might promote further metastatic spread of those metastases to other organs. Using mouse metastasis models, we found that lymphangiogenesis occurred in distant lung metastases and that some metastatic tumor cells were located in lymphatic vessels and draining lymph nodes. In metastasis-bearing lungs of melanoma patients, a higher lymphatic density within and around metastases and lymphatic invasion correlated with poor outcome. Using a transgenic mouse model with inducible expression of vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGF-C) in the lung, we found greater growth of lung metastases, with more abundant dissemination to other organs. Our findings reveal unexpected contributions of lymphatics in distant organs to the promotion of growth of metastases and their further spread to other organs, with potential clinical implications for adjuvant therapies in patients with metastatic cancer.","note":"","tags":"Animals,Breast Neoplasms,Female,Humans,Lung Neoplasms,Lymphangiogenesis,Lymphatic Metastasis,Lymphatic Vessels,Melanoma, Experimental,Mice,Mice, Inbred BALB C,Mice, Inbred C57BL,Neovascularization, Pathologic,Prognosis,Retrospective Studies,Survival Rate,Tumor Cells, Cultured,Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A,Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor C","weight":4,"publisher":"","booktitle":"","editor":"","address":"","school":"","issn":"2375-2548","isi":"","key":"Ma2018","howpublished":""} , {userid:"j.radua", "articletype":"article","pages":"23-33","author":"B L Amann, E J Canales-Rodr\u00edguez, M Madre, J Radua, G Monte, S Alonso-Lana, R Landin-Romero, A Moreno-Alc\u00e1zar, C M Bonnin, S Sarr\u00f3, J Ortiz-Gil, J J Gomar, N Moro, P Fernandez-Corcuera, J M Goikolea, J Blanch, R Salvador, E Vieta, P J McKenna, E Pomarol-Clotet","year":"2016","title":"Brain structural changes in schizoaffective disorder compared to schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.","month":"Jan","journal":"Acta psychiatrica Scandinavica","publisher":"","volume":"133","number":"1","note":"","tags":"Adult,Bipolar Disorder,Brain,Brain Mapping,Case-Control Studies,Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging,Female,Gray Matter,Humans,Male,Middle Aged,Neuroimaging,Psychotic Disorders,Schizophrenia","booktitle":"","editor":"","abstract":"Brain structural changes in schizoaffective disorder, and how far they resemble those seen in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, have only been studied to a limited extent.","address":"","school":"","issn":"1600-0447","doi":"10.1111\/acps.12440","isi":"","pubmed":"25968549","key":"Amann2016","howpublished":"","urllink":"","refid":64,"weight":64} ] } ; ajaxResultsLoaded(_ajax_res);
