O článku:
The reason of treatment failures in head and neck tumors is often connected with the appearance of second primary tumors
(SPT). Three mechanisms of SPT development of clonal or non clonal secondary tumors were described: 1. via
micrometastases (clonal); 2. from a common carcinogenic field - Second Field Tumors (SFT - partially clonal); 3. via independent
events (from different carcinogenic fields - "true" SPT - not clonal). Assessing the clonality of diagnosed tumors
carries important clinical implications including chemoprevention, radiotherapy and general patient management.
In this study a set of 12 microsatellite markers was used to find similarities and/or differences in allelic imbalance patterns
between 22 pairs of tumors (the first tumor designate as index and SPT). The aim of the study was to identify a potential
clonal origin and progression within given pairs of tumors. The results indicate that within the tumors diagnosed by clinical
examination as SPT at least two mechanisms mentioned above should be taken into account as 6/23 (26%) were clonally unrelated
("true" SPT) and 3/23 (13%) carried clonal genetic changes (formation by micrometastasis or SFT). In 14/23 (61%)
cases the results were insufficient or ambiguous to determine the clonality status. The final results indicate the complexity of
carcinogenesis in these tumors and thus stress that clinical diagnosis of second primary tumors should be considered carefully.
