Onc - Renal Flashcards

1
Q

Where does oncocytoma originate from?

How does it look grossly?

What syndrome is it associated with?

How do you distinguish from other renal neoplasms?

A

Epithelial tumor. Originates from intercalating cells in cortical collecting system

It’s well circumcscribed, non-encapsulated, central stellate scar

May occur as part of Birt-Hogg Dube syndrome

May use sestamibi SPECT/CT to distinguish from other tumors, need further study

Q

What medical treatment can you use to treat AML?

What class of medication is this?

What are the adverse events associated?

A

Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor

Q

What features are associated with AML hemorrhage?

Why is risk higher during pregnancy?

A

Tumors >4cm and intralesional vascular aneurysms >5mm

Estrogen-receptor-beta is present in all AMLs and ER-alpha in 30%, so increase in growth and risk of hemorrhage in pregnancy or if hormone therapy

Q

What are features of Von Hippel Lindau Syndrome?

What is the genetic mutation?

A

Clear cell RCC, often bilateral and multifocal

Retinal angiomas, endolymphatic sac tumors, benign CNS hemangioblastomas, pancreatic cysts and islet tumors, epididymal cystadenomas, and pheochromocytomas

Mutated VHL suppressor gene (3p25-26), unable to form E3 ubiquitous ligate complex which regulates degradation of regulatory proteins ie hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) -> overaccumulation of HIF results in upregulation of VEGF

Q

what are the 6 histologic classifications of RCC?

A
  1. Clear cell RCC - most common, from proximal convoluted tubule, loss of 3p
  2. Papillary RCC - Type I a/w polysome 7 and 17, loss of Y and MET mutations; Type II a/w mutation in fumarate hydra tase; think b/l even if not familial
  3. Chromophobe - histologically similar to oncocytoma, arises from collecting duct, mutation in TP53 and PTEN
  4. Collecting duct carcinoma - arises from collecting duct
  5. Renal medullary carcinoma - young AA adults with sickle cell trait
  6. Unclassified RCC - Xp11 translocation

20
Q

When do you repeat biopsy after ablative therapy for stage T1a renal cancer?

A

Per NCCN, if radiographic evidence of progressive increase in size with or without contrast enhancement, new modularity in or around treated zone, failure of the treated lesion to regress over time, or evidence of satellite or port site lesions

21
Q

When is cytoreductive nephrectomy before systemic therapy indicated?

A
  • if lung only mets
  • good prognostic features
  • good performance status
