    Abstract Pancreatic carcinoma is a major cause of cancer-related death in the United States, with a five-year survival rate of approximately 5%. Cytogenetic analysis has identified clinically significant chromosomal abnormalities in numerous malignancies, but it is not utilized in the clinical management of pancreatic carcinoma. We performed conventional and molecular cytogenetic analysis of 16 pancreatic carcinoma cell lines using Giemsa banding and DNA-based fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Conventional cytogenetic analysis revealed a diversity of recurrent and clonal numerical and structural abnormalities in all cell lines analyzed, many of which occurred at loci of genes implicated in pancreatic or related cancers. FISH analysis revealed significant decreases in copy number of numerous tumor-suppressor genes including TP53, CDKN2A, and SMAD4. In some cell lines, amplification of oncogenes HER2 and MYC was also observed. Finally, novel rearrangements involving ARID1A and TGFBR2 were identified in a small subset of cell lines by means of molecular cytogenetic analysis. All in all, these data provide additional insight into recurrent chromosomal abnormalities in pancreatic carcinoma that can potentially be utilized as biomarkers in the clinical management of the disease. Investigation of other aberrations as well as correlation of recurrent ones with clinicopathologic features is warranted in order to assess the utility of cytogenetic analysis of pancreatic carcinoma.

    Abstract Disorders of sex development (DSD) comprise a group of conditions in which genotypes do not correlate with the typical male and female phenotypes. Numerical and structural abnormalities involving both autosomes and sex chromosomes have been observed in DSD. Specifically, deletions, duplications, and translocations involving specific genes as well as point mutations and less common aberrations have been implicated in the pathogenesis of these conditions. Finally, recent advances in analytical tools, namely chromosomal microarrays and sequencing methods, have greatly enhanced the precision with which DSD are genetically characterized and phenotypically correlated. Herein, we review the genes and loci involved in the pathogenesis of disorders of sex development based on recent findings and illustrate the importance of cytogenetics and molecular genetics in the clinical management of these conditions.

    Abstract Objectives: Transient myeloproliferative disorder (TMD), now more commonly known as transient abnormal myelopoiesis (TAM), is a condition closely associated with Down syndrome. Ninety-five percent of Down syndrome cases occur as a result of chromosomal nondisjunction and are rarely due to mosaicism or translocation. TMD is found exclusively in neonates and is most commonly characterized by trisomy 21, somatic GATA1 mutation, and the increased presence of megakaryoblasts. TMD often does not manifest clinically, but patients may show hepatomegaly, splenomegaly and other symptoms. While TMD is almost always present with trisomy 21, there are not many other cytogenetic abnormalities associated with TMD, with a few rare cases such as monosomy 7 and trisomy 8. Recent studies have suggested liver hematopoietic progenitor cells as the candidate for TMD origin. Furthermore, GATA1 mutations associated with TMD are found to encode for a stop codon in the N-terminal activation region of gene sequences. It has been shown that those mutations can cause overproliferation of megakaryocytes, which can cooperate with Down syndrome cells, which have trisomy 21, in the progression of TMD into acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (AMKL). Since GATA1 mutations are present in all cases of myeloid leukemia of Down Syndrome, monitoring GATA1 in patients with trisomy 21 may assist with earlier diagnosis of TMD. Another likely cause of TMD is the amplification of the RUNX1 transcription factor gene located on chromosome 21. It has been shown that RUNX1 is associated with leukemias of myeloid lineage. While most cases of TMD will spontaneously resolve, some will evolve into acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In this review, we will discuss the cytogenetic, molecular genetics and clinical aspects of TMD.

    Abstract Objectives: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is among the most common forms of leukemia diagnosed in the United States. It is associated with a variety of clinically significant genetic abnormalities, including cytogenetic abnormalities that are assessed routinely. Herein, we present a case of CLL for which molecular cytogenetic analysis revealed concomitant deletion of TP53 (17p13.1) in 87% of cells analyzed and amplification (3-20 signals) of C-MYC (8q24.1) in 47% of cells analyzed. Although rearrangements involving C-MYC are common in CLL, amplification is a rarer phenomenon that has not been investigated as thoroughly and may be overlooked during routine analysis. We review this case in the context of available literature on the plethora of genetic abnormalities involving C-MYC in CLL and their relevance to the pathogenesis of the disease. All in all, this case highlights the role of comprehensive, multidisciplinary genetic testing in the management of CLL.

    Abstract Objectives: We present the case of a 56-year-old male with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) whose bone marrow immunophenotype showed lower positivity for CD45 and positivity for CD34; 8.66% of this population also expressed partial positives for MPO, CD16, CD117, CD36, CD33, and CD71, as well as positives for CD13, HLA-DR, and CD11b. No alterations in the pattern of maturation were seen in CD13 vs CD16 and CD13 vs CD11b. An analysis of a population of mature lymphocytes revealed CD45 high CD3+ in 87.5% of cells, CD45 high CD19+ in 7.6% of cells, and 4.9% NK cells. These results are consistent with a myelodysplastic syndrome with an excess of blasts type 1. Chromosome analysis of the bone marrow revealed an abnormal karyotype with a t(1;6)(p12;p11.1) as well as deletion 5q and a ring 11 in 12 of the 20 metaphase cells examined. The t(1;6)(p12;p11.1) has not been reported in association with any particular hematological malignancy and provides further insight into the range of cytogenetic abnormalities in MDS.

    Abstract Objectives: Myelodysplastic syndromes present with a range of cytogenetic abnormalities that are used to guide diagnosis and management of the disease. Herein, we present the case of a 72-year-old female patient who presented with pancytopenia. Peripheral blood showed Hb 9.0 g/dl, neutrophils less than 1800/mm3, and platelets less than 100,000/mm3. Bone marrow showed erythroid hyperplasia, megaloblastic changes, dyserythropoiesis, multinuclearity, nuclear bridges, nuclear budding, atypical mitoses, and ring sideroblasts. Also, CD34 and CD117 as well as myeloperoxidase positive populations were present. On this basis, a diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome was rendered. Chromosome studies showed an abnormal female karyotype with an isochromosome 17q as well as deletion 20q in 17 of the 20 metaphase cells examined. The remaining three cells were cytogenetically normal. Molecular cytogenetic studies using a TP53-specific probe showed only one TP53 signal in 87% of the nuclei examined. An i(17q) as a sole cytogenetic aberration is rare among both MDS and myeloid malignancies in general, but is functionally similar to aberrations of 17p that lead to loss of TP53. This case provides further insight into the spectrum of cytogenetic abnormalities present in MDS.

    Abstract Purpose: Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in the post-prostatectomy setting is investigational. A major concern is the deformable prostate bed clinical target volume (CTV) and the closely juxtaposed organs-at-risk (OARs). We report a volumetric and dosimetric analysis of kilovoltage cone-beam CT (CBCT) data from the first 18 patients enrolled on a phase II trial of post-prostatectomy SBRT. With instructions on bladder filling and rectal preparation, we hypothesized acceptable CTV coverage while minimal overdosing to OARs could be achieved.
    Methods: All patients received 5 fractions of 6-6.8 Gy to the prostate bed. CBCT were taken prior to and halfway through each fraction. CTV and OARs were contoured for each CBCT. Changes in inter- and intra-fraction volume and dose were calculated. Relative changes in CTV V95%, bladder V32.5 Gy, and rectal V32.5 Gy and V27.5 Gy were evaluated.
    Results: Interfraction CTV volume remained stable, with median change +5.69% (IQR -1.73% to +9.84%). CTV V95% exhibited median change -0.74% (IQR -9.15% to -0.07%). Volumetric and dosimetric changes were minor from interfraction rotation and intrafraction motion. CTV V95% was ≥93% in 13 of 18 (72%) patients; in the remaining five, median change was -14.09% (IQR -16.64% to -13.56%). Interfraction CTV volume change was significantly larger among patients with CTV V95% <93% (+25.04% vs. +2.85%, p = 0.002).
    Conclusions: With specific bladder and rectum filling protocols, CTV underdosing and overdosing to bladder and rectum are avoided in majority of patients. Changes in CTV shape may account for the underdosing that may be observed.

    Abstract Background: Mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL) is a rare hematological malignancy characterized by combinatorial aberrations involving cells of the myeloid, T-, and/or B- lineages, most often diagnosed by means of immunophenotyping in order to assess lineage-specific markers, which can still yield inconclusive diagnoses. MPAL with a complex karyotype (three or more chromosomal abnormalities) is a cytogenetic subtype of MPAL associated with a poor prognosis, but limited data is available about the cytogenetic abnormalities present in this context.
    Findings: Herein, we present the case of a 67-year-old female whose bone marrow biopsy revealed an extensive blast population showing dual morphologic differentiation, including lymphoblasts and larger myeloblasts with monocytic differentiation. Multiparametric immunophenotyping by flow cytometry revealed a blast population that was positive for CD45, CD19, CD22, CD34, CD38, and HLA-DR. The blast populations were also immunereactive for both myeloperoxidase and TdT; thus, a diagnosis of mixed phenotype acute leukemia was rendered. Conventional cytogenetic analysis revealed a hyperdiploid composite karyotype with numerical abnormalities involving chromosomes 2, 6, 8, 10, 11, 14, 19, 20, 21, and 22, as well as structural abnormalities involving 1p, 1q, 9p, 16p, 17p, 19q, 20q, and a marker chromosome. Concurrent interphase and metaphase FISH studies were able to detect a deletion of CDKN2A/p16 at 9p21 and corroborated the presence of extra copies of chromosomes 8, 11, 20, and 22.
    Conclusions: This case provides further insight into the plethora of cytogenetic abnormalities not involving BCR-ABL1 and/or MLL present in MPAL with a complex karyotype and adds to the pool of cytogenetic information about this rare subset of hematological malignancies.

    Abstract Context: The use, common findings, and impact of modern molecular positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) imaging prior to salvage radiation therapy (RT) in men with biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy (RP) have not been evaluated comprehensively.
    Objective: We performed a scoping systematic review of the literature assessing detection rates, detection patterns, changes in management, as well as changes in patient outcome resulting from molecular PET/CT imaging using three molecular tracers:
    Evidence acquisition: A computerized bibliographic search of the Medline/PubMed database was carried out from inception to October 1, 2020. We included published reports and abstracts evaluating the utility of
    Evidence synthesis: A total of 45 studies were included in our qualitative synthesis. Detection rates were high across most studies, and there was often a clear relationship between prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level and positive imaging findings. Though limited randomized data are available, there appears to be increased sensitivity with the use of PSMA ligands compared with fluciclovine at low PSA values. Most studies have shown that only one-third to one-half of patients with detected lesions have lesions in the prostatic fossa alone. Management changes occur in nearly 50% of patients undergoing molecular imaging, and biochemical response in patients who undergo molecular PET-based RT planning appears to be statistically superior to the response in patients who undergo conventional imaging -based RT planning alone. High biochemical responses from molecular PET-based salvage RT, ranging from 45% to 94%, did not appear to come at the expense of increased genitourinary or gastrointestinal toxicity. The presence or absence of avid lesions appears to be a strong prognostic factor.
    Conclusions: Molecular PET/CT imaging in the post-RP, pre-salvage RT setting often triggers management changes that result from detecting lesions in locations not typically included in consensus-driven postoperative RT fields. Ongoing trials will assess the benefit of PSMA PET in guiding salvage RT following RP and determine its impact on long-term outcomes.
    Patient summary: We reviewed and reported detection rates, detection patterns, and changes in management resulting from molecular positron emission tomography/computed tomography imaging in men with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer following radical prostatectomy. Prior to the receipt of salvage radiation therapy, molecular tracers targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen appear to be especially sensitive at identifying the place where prostate cancer has come back after surgery, which can help radiation oncologists better target the recurrent disease and potentially improve the rates of cure from prostate cancer in this setting. Future studies will determine whether these imaging tools will change cure rates and side effects, but early results are promising.

    Abstract Background: While multiple randomized trials have evaluated the benefit of radiation therapy (RT) dose escalation and the use and prolongation of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in the treatment of prostate cancer, few studies have evaluated the relative benefit of either form of treatment intensification with each other. Many trials have included treatment strategies that incorporate either high or low dose RT, or short-term or long-term ADT (STADT or LTADT), in one or more trial arms. We sought to compare different forms of treatment intensification of RT in the context of localized prostate cancer.
    Methods: Using preferred reporting items for systemic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, we collected over 40 phases III clinical trials comparing different forms of RT for localized prostate cancer. We performed a meta-regression of 40 individual trials with 21,429 total patients to allow a comparison of the rates and cumulative proportions of 5-year overall survival (OS), prostate cancer-specific mortality (PCSM), and distant metastasis (DM) for each treatment arm of every trial.
    Results: Dose-escalation either in the absence or presence of STADT failed to significantly improve any 5-year outcome. In contrast, adding LTADT to low dose RT significantly improved 5-year PCSM (Odds ratio [OR] 0.34, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.22-0.54, p < 0.001) and DM (OR 0.35, 95% CI 0.20-0.63. p < 0.001) over low dose RT alone. Adding STADT also significantly improved 5-year PCSM over low dose RT alone (OR 0.55, 95% CI 0.41-0.75, p < 0.001).
    Conclusion: While limited by between-study heterogeneity and a lack of individual patient data, this meta-analysis suggests that adding ADT, versus increasing RT dose alone, offers a more consistent improvement in clinical endpoints.
