直肠癌围手术期辅助治疗的提出缘由是直肠癌发病率和死亡率仍不断上升。全球结、直肠癌发病率平均每年递增2%，在欧美国家其死亡率仍居癌症死亡第二位。我国情况亦相似，以上海为例，发病率每年递增4.2%，比全球平均递增速度还要高。1990～1992年我国十分之一人口的抽样调查显示，结、直肠癌平均调整死亡率为4.54/10万人口，居癌症死亡第五位。而直肠癌在美国占结、直肠癌的40%，在中国占50%以上。更甚的是，直肠癌治疗效果还不够理想，近30多年来提高并不显著。美国癌症协会Cutler统计分析25 000例结、直肠癌资料，其中外科治疗直肠癌5年生存率自1940～1960年由44%提高到50%。英国牛津大学临床试验研究中心收集1960～1987年世界各地所有结、直肠癌临床随机治疗资料共计97组154项研究，包含32 000余例，其中直肠癌3年和5年生存率分别为65.0%和45.1%。迄今，大宗直肠癌病例报告的术后5年生存率都徘徊在50%左右，扩大手术范围生存率提高不多，但随之而来的却是更大的手术损伤、合并症增加。术后远处转移，特别是局部复发是直肠癌治疗失败的原因，如何防止局部复发和肝转移，一直是困扰医学家们的临床课题。此外，随着社会进步和科学技术水平的提高，人们对生活质量要求也提高，更多直肠癌患者要求保留肛门。
ObjectiveTo construct a multimodal imaging radiomics model based on enhanced CT features to predict tumor regression grade (TRG) in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT). MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on the Database from Colorectal Cancer (DACCA) at West China Hospital of Sichuan University, including 199 LARC patients treated from October 2016 to October 2023. All patients underwent total mesorectal excision after NCRT. Clinical pathological information was collected, and radiomics features were extracted from CT images prior to NCRT. Python 3.13.0 was used for feature dimension reduction, and univariate logistic regression (LR) along with Lasso regression with 5-fold cross-validation were applied to select radiomics features. Patients were randomly divided into training and testing sets at a ratio of 7∶3 for machine learning and joint model construction. The model’s performance was evaluated using accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and the area under the curve (AUC). Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC), confusion matrices, and clinical decision curves (DCA) were plotted to assess the model’s performance. ResultsAmong the 199 patients, 155 (77.89%) had poor therapeutic outcomes, while 44 (22.11%) had good outcomes. Univariate LR and Lasso regression identified 8 clinical pathological features and 5 radiomic features, including 1 shape feature, 2 first-order statistical features, and 2 texture features. LR, support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), and eXtreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) models were established. In the training set, the AUC values of LR, SVM, RF, XGBoost models were 0.99, 0.98, 1.00, and 1.00, respectively, with accuracy rates of 0.94, 0.93, 1.00, and 1.00, sensitivity rates of 0.98, 1.00, 1.00, and 1.00, and specificity rates of 0.80, 0.67, 1.00, and 1.00, respectively. In the testing set, the AUC values of 4 models were 0.97, 0.92, 0.96, and 0.95, with accuracy rates of 0.87, 0.87, 0.88, and 0.90, sensitivity rates of 1.00, 1.00, 1.00, and 0.95, and specificity rates of 0.50, 0.50, 0.56, and 0.75. Among the models, the XGBoost model had the best performance, with the highest accuracy and specificity rates. DCA indicated clinical benefits for all 4 models. ConclusionsThe multimodal imaging radiomics model based on enhanced CT has good clinical application value in predicting the efficacy of NCRT in LARC. It can accurately predict good and poor therapeutic outcomes, providing personalized clinical surgical interventions.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a prevalent malignant tumor worldwide. With the development of medical technology, the treatment strategies of CRC are constantly improving and updating. The aim of treating CRC is not only to improve outcomes but also to maintain organ function and enhance quality of life. For patients with locally advanced rectal cancer, a variety of neoadjuvant treatment options are available and it is important to choose an individualized strategy. Immune checkpoint inhibitors have become an important part of the first- and posterior-line treatment for patients with deficient mis-match repair or high microsatellite instability colorectal cancer in metastatic colorectal cancer, and the emergence of new targets and drugs has further improved treatment efficacy and long-term survival. Furthermore, an increasing number of studies have confirmed the potential the value of predicting and guiding treatment for minimal residual disease. This article summarizes the representative research results, guideline updates, and important academic conference reports in the field of colorectal cancer.
Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy followed by minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) for locally advanced esophageal cancer. Methods We retrospectively analyzed clinical data of 56 consecutive patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer treated by neoadjuvant therapy followed by surgery in our hospital between January 2015 and December 2016. There were 51 males and 5 females. The patients were divided into 2 groups. Neoadjuvant therapy followed by open surgery esophagectomy group was as an OE group with 25 patients aged 61 (50-73) years. And neoadjuvant therapy followed by MIE was as a MIE group with 31 patients aged 60 (55-79) years. Results The pathologic complete response (pCR) rate of 28 patients with neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy was significantly higher than that of 28 patients with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (21.4% vs. 10.7%, P<0.05). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, R2 rate and the number of lymph nodes dissection in the MIE group were obviously better than those of the OE group with statistical differences (P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the number of resected lymph nodes along the bilateral recurrent laryngeal nerves and lymph node metastasis rate (P>0.05) between the two groups. The incidence of postoperative respiratory complications in the MIE group was lower than that of the OE group (P=0.041). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the incidence of other complications, re-operation, re-entry to ICU, median length of stay or perioperative deaths (P>0.05). There was only one patient with neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy in the OE group died due to gastric fluid asphyxia caused by trachea-esophageal fistula. Conclusion Neoadjuvant therapy followed by MIE for locally advanced esophageal cancer is safe and feasible. The oncological outcomes seem comparable regardless of OE.

ObjectiveTo analyze the clinical predictive factors of tumor pathological response to preoperative chemoradiotherapy for rectal cancer. MethodsOne hundred and seven patients treated with preoperative capecitabine and pelvic conformal radiotherapy and underwent total mesorectal excision from January 2005 to December 2012 in this hospital were analyzed retrospectively.Tumor response according to tumor regression grade was evaluated.The correlation of clinicopathologic factors with tumor response was analyzed by logistic regression analysis. ResultsThe single factor analysis results showed that the age, gender, distance of tumor from anal verge, differentiation degree of tumor, infiltration depth of tumor, and pretreatment CA19-9 level were not correlated with rectal cancer pathological response to preoperative chemoradiotherapy (P > 0.05).The tumor circumferential extent, tumor mobilit, lymph node metastasis, pretreatment carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level, and pretreatment hemoglobin level were correlated with it (P < 0.05).The logistic regression analysis results showed that non-fixed tumor (P=0.015), pretreatment CEA level≤5.0μg/L (P=0.012), and pretreatment hemoglobin level > 10 g/L (P=0.007) independently predicted a good pathologic response rate. ConclusionTumor mobility, pretreatment CEA level, and hemoglobin level are important predictors of pathological response to preoperative chemoradiotherapy in rectal cancer.

Methods The clinical data of 31 high-grade glioma patients who underwent postoperative radiochemotherapy from June 2008 to June 2009 were reviewed. Pseudoprogression cases were analyzed. The treatment response was assessed through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) according to the established response evaluation criteria in solid tumors. Results All the 31 high grade gioma patients received postoperative fractioned radiotherapy with concomitant TMZ chemotherapy, followed by TMZ maintenance chemotherapy. Four cases of pseudoprogression occurred after radiotherapy (14%). Conclusion Doctors should be careful in making early diagnosis for the suspected early progression after TMZ concomitant radiochemotherapy. It would be helpful for management to combine the clinical features of pseudoprogression with functional imaging technology.
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of preoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy combined with total mesorectal excision （TME） in treatment for locally advanced lower rectal cancer. Methods The clinical data of 31 patients with locally advanced lower rectal cancer received concurrent chemoradiotherapy from January 2009 to December 2011 in this hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Conventional fraction radiotherapy with total dose 50 Gy and chemotherapy with mFOLFOX6 or CapeOX regimen were taken. The efficacy was assessed by recording results of clinical and pathological examination. The function of sphincter was also recorded. Results All 31 patients underwent TME operation. The complication morbidity and mortality was 12.9% （4/31） and 3.2% （1/31），respectively. As a result of the preoperative management，the tumor was reduced by an average of 21.9%， down-regulation of T stage was observed in 48.4% （15/31） patients，the frequency of lymph node metastasis decreased from 83.9% （26/31） to 38.7% （12/31）. Pathological complete response was observed in 5 patients （16.1%） and the total response rate was 74.2% （23/31），grade 3/4 toxicity was occurred in 2 （6.5%） patients. 84.6% （22/26） of patients underwent sphincter preservation surgery reserved good function of sphincter. Conclusions Preoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy combined with TME in treatment for locally advanced lower rectal cancer is effective and safe，which can lead to pathological complete response，decrease the tumor stage and the rate of lymph node metastasis，and can also increase the efficacy of operation.
Objective To explore the safety of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy combined with sphincter-preserving operation in treatment of locally advanced low rectal cancer. Methods The clinical data of thirty-four patients admitted into our hospital between June 2007 and June 2009 with T3 and T4 low rectal cancer treated by neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and sphincter-preserving operation were collected and analyzed retrospectively. Routine fraction of radiation was given with total dose of 40 Gy, five times a week, 2 Gy per fraction. Patients received oxaliplatin （150 mg/d1）, plus folinic (100 mg/d1-3) and 5FU (750 mg/d1-3) for total 1 cycles started from the 4th week of irradiation. Operation was performed 4 weeks after neoadjuvant therapy. Results After neoadjuvant therapy, all patients underwent surgical resection with average tumor size decreased by 41.2%, tumor T stage decreased in 67.6% （23/34) patients, and lymph nodenegative change rate was 58.8% (10/17). One patient had liver metastasis and one had local recurrence, but without stomal leak. And 88.2% (30/34) patients showed good function of sphincter. Conclusions Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in advanced lower rectal cancer patients has shown its efficacy in down-staging, which is safe without increasing operation complications when combined with sphincterpreserving surgery.
