PHARMACY COVERAGE GUIDELINES ORIGINAL EFFECTIVE DATE: 5/18/2017 SECTION: DRUGS LAST REVIEW DATE: 5/20/2021 LAST CRITERIA REVISION DATE: 5/20/2021 ARCHIVE DATE: XERMELO™ (telotristat ethyl) Coverage for services, procedures, medical devices and drugs are dependent upon benefit eligibility as outlined in the member's specific benefit plan. This Pharmacy Coverage Guideline must be read in its entirety to determine coverage eligibility, if any. This Pharmacy Coverage Guideline provides information related to coverage determinations only and does not imply that a service or treatment is clinically appropriate or inappropriate. The provider and the member are responsible for all decisions regarding the appropriateness of care. Providers should provide BCBSAZ complete medical rationale when requesting any exceptions to these guidelines. The section identified as “Description” defines or describes a service, procedure, medical device or drug and is in no way intended as a statement of medical necessity and/or coverage. The section identified as “Criteria” defines criteria to determine whether a service, procedure, medical device or drug is considered medically necessary or experimental or investigational. State or federal mandates, e.g., FEP program, may dictate that any drug, device or biological product approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) may not be considered experimental or investigational and thus the drug, device or biological product may be assessed only on the basis of medical necessity. Pharmacy Coverage Guidelines are subject to change as new information becomes available. For purposes of this Pharmacy Coverage Guideline, the terms "experimental" and "investigational" are considered to be interchangeable.

Pseudo-Pseudomyxoma Peritonei from Peritoneal Sarcomatosis

E-mail: [email protected] Received: February 12, 2015 Accepted: April 12, 2015 Online Published: June 3, 2015 DOI: 10.5430/crcp.v2n4p14 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5430/crcp.v2n4p14 Abstract Background: Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare clinical entity of mucinous ascites, most commonly associated with appendiceal mucinous neoplasms. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) remains the current standard of care for PMP. Peritoneal sarcomatosis (PS) is an exceptionally rare disease with a poor prognosis. PMP associated with PS has not been previously described. The role of cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy for PS with or without PMP is not well-defined. PS manifesting like PMP has not been previously described. Case presentation: A 74-year-old patient with several weeks history of vague abdominal pain and increased abdominal girth was referred to our facility after incidental finding of PMP during laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. After complete work-up, he was advised to undergo CRS/HIPEC. Intra-operatively, he was noted to have extensive mucinous ascites and underwent aggressive CRS and HIPEC Result: Final pathology revealed myxoid liposarcoma with associated intraperitoneal mucin dissemination, which was confirmed with cytogenetic analysis. -

PTC has a high rate of gene fusions and mutations, which can influence clinical and biological behavior in both children and adults. In this review, we focus on the comparison between pediatric and adult PTC, highlighting genetic alterations, telomere-related genomic instability and changes in nuclear organization as novel biomarkers for thyroid cancers. Abstract: Thyroid cancer is a rare malignancy in the pediatric population that is highly associated with disease aggressiveness and advanced disease stages when compared to adult population. -
