ObjectivesTo explore the efficacy of simultaneous chemoradiotherapy combined with surgery for locally advanced cervical patients and perform multivariable analysis.MethodsA total of 130 cases of patients with locally advanced cervical cancer who were admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from June 2012 to December 2016 were randomly divided into case group and control group. The patients in the control group were treated with platinum-based radical concurrent chemoradiation. In the case group, patients received both treatment in the control group with the addition of extensive hysterectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection. The short-term efficacy and survival outcomes of the two groups were compared.ResultsThe present study was the final report of this randomized controlled trial. 68 patients were randomly enrolled into the case group and 50 patients into control group. The non-microscopic residual tumor (non-MRT) rates were 83.8% (57/68) and microscopic residual tumor (MRT) rates were 2.9% (2/68) in the experimental group. There was no significant difference between two groups (χ2=0.008, P=0.928) in 3-year progression-free survival rate (65.6%vs. 59.6%) and 4-year progression-free survival rate (52.5% vs. 56.3%). And there was no significant difference between two groups (χ2=0.361, P=0.548) in 3-year overall survival rate (80.3%vs. 74.6%) and 4-year overall survival rate (77.6% vs. 64.9%). Multivariable analysis showed that only tumor size and parametrial invasion were significant prognostic factors of PFS (P<0.05). And only parametrial invasion was a potential prognostic indicator affecting OS (P=0.078).ConclusionParametrial invasion is an important prognostic factor. Radical concurrent chemoradiotherapy combined with surgical treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer has not significantly improved progression-free survival and overall survival. The treatment regimen should be applied with caution and selectivity.
【Abstract】ObjectiveTo explore the effect of surgical treatment of metastatic hepatic cancer. MethodsTwo hundred and eight patients with metastatic hepatic cancer received surgical treatment in our department during the past seven years, and their information were analyzed retrospectively in this paper. The ages of these patients ranged from 19 years to 82 years, and 133 of them were male, 75 of them were female. Two of them were complicated with hepatocirrhosis, and 5 with polycystic liver. The metastatic cancer originated from gastrointestinal tract in 121 cases (58.2%), and from other parts of the body in 87 cases (41.8%). One hundred and sixteen of the patients received resection treatment (resection group), and 92 of them received nonresecton treatment (nonresection group). The survival rates of the two groups were compared through Chi square test.ResultsThe 1, 3 and 5year survival rates for all patients were 56.3%,23.1% and 13.0%, respectively. The 1, 3 and 5year survival rates were 74.1%,39.7% and 23.3% in the resection group respectively and 33.7%, 2.2% and 0 in the nonresection group, respectively. Resection group had a higher survival rate than that of the nonresection group (P<0.05). The main postoperative complications include pulmonary infection (6 cases), subphrenic infection (2 cases), incisional infection (4 cases).ConclusionSurgical resection is an effective treatment method for the patients with metastatic hepatic cancer. Resection should be conducted as long as they could withstand the surgery.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the survival results of surgical resection (SR) and CT-guided percutaneous ablation (PA) for stageⅠnon-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).MethodsThe PubMed, Web of Science, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP, Wanfang databases from inception to June 2021 were searched to collect comparative studies on the survival results between SR and CT-guided PA treatment for stageⅠNSCLC. RevMan 5.3 software was used for statistical analysis of data.ResultsA total of 3 114 patients were included in 11 studies. The results of meta-analysis showed that compared with the PA group, the SR group had a higher 2-year postoperative overall survival (OS) rate (OR=1.44, 95%CI 1.00-2.06, P=0.05), 3-year postoperative OS rate (OR=2.37, 95%CI 1.47-3.81, P<0.001), 5-year OS rate (OR=1.64, 95%CI 1.19-2.28, P<0.01), 5-year progression-free survival rate after operation (OR=2.43, 95%CI 1.54-3.82, P<0.001) and lower local recurrence rate (OR=0.26, 95%CI 0.13-0.54, P<0.001). There were no statistical differences between the two groups in terms of 1-year postoperative OS rate, 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year tumor-related survival rates, 1-year, 2-year tumor-free survival rates, or distant postoperative recurrence rate (P>0.05).ConclusionFor patients with stageⅠNSCLC with optimal basic conditions, surgery is a more appropriate treatment. For patients who cannot withstand surgical injuries or refuse surgery, CT-guided PA is also a potential alternative treatment. However, this conclusion needs to be verified by prospective controlled trials with larger sample sizes and a more rigorous design.
Along with the popularity of low-dose computed tomography lung cancer screening, an increasing number of lung ground-glass opacity (GGO) lesions are detected. The pathology of GGO could be benign, but persistent GGO indicates early-stage lung cancer. Distinct from traditional lung cancer, GGO-featured lung cancer is more common in the young, nonsmokers and females. GGO-featured lung cancer represents an indolent type of malignancy with a long time to intervene. However, there is still no consensus on the screening, pathology, surgical procedure, and postoperative surveillance of GGO-featured lung cancer. Therefore, we proposed a personalized treatment strategy for GGO-featured lung cancer. The screening for GGO-featured lung cancer should be conducted at young age and low frequency. Adenocarcinoma in situ, minimally invasive adenocarcinoma, lepidic, and non-lepidic growth patterns could present as GGO. The following issues should be taken into consideration while determining the treatment of GGO-featured lung cancer: avoiding treating benign disease as malignancies, avoiding treating early-stage disease as advanced-stage disease, avoiding treating indolent malignancy as aggressive malignancy, and choosing appropriate timing to receive surgery without affecting life tracks and career developments. Bronchoscope and bone scan are not necessary for preoperative examinations of GGO-featured lung adenocarcinoma. For selected patients, sublobar resection without mediastinal lymph node dissection might be sufficient. Intraoperative frozen section is an effective method to guide resection strategy. Given the excellent survival of GGO-featured lung cancer, a less intensive postoperative surveillance strategy may be sufficient.
ObjectiveTo understand the biological behavior of primary squamous cell carcinoma of thyroid (PSCCT), and provide references for its clinical diagnosis and treatment.MethodThe latest domestic and foreign reports of PSCCT were collected and analyzed.ResultsIn the diagnosis of PSCCT, the possibility of metastasis of squamous cell carcinoma to thyroid should be excluded. It often presented with hoarseness, local obstruction, and the median survival time was about 12 months. The treatment mainly relies on complete surgical resection.ConclusionPrimary squamous cell carcinoma of thyroid is a rare disease with rapid disease progression, poor overall prognosis and limited therapeutic options.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant chemotherapy containing tegafur gimeracil oteracil potassium (S-1) combined with surgery in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer.MethodsWe searched EMbase, PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CBM, CNKI and WanFang Data from inception to February 2017, to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about neoadjuvant chemotherapy containing S-1 combined with surgery in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsA total of 11 RCTs involving 971 advanced gastric cancer patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that the neoadjuvant chemotherapy containing S-1 combined with surgery group was superior to the control group in R0 resection rate (OR=2.75, 95%CI 1.91 to 3.95, P<0.000 01), 2 year survival rate (OR=1.72, 95%CI 1.01 to 2.93, P=0.05) and 3 year survival rate (OR=1.64, 95%CI 1.12 to 2.41, P=0.01), while there were no statistical differences in response rate (OR=1.33, 95%CI 0.70 to 2.51, P=0.39), 1 year survival rate (OR=1.50, 95%CI 0.64 to 3.53, P=0.35) and the incidence of postoperative complications (OR=1.00, 95%CI 0.66 to 1.51, P=0.98).ConclusionNeoadjuvant chemotherapy containing S-1 combined with surgery can improve the R0 resection rate, 2-year survival rate and 3-year survival rate without increase postoperative complications rate. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high-quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
