Textbook outcome in gallbladder carcinoma after curative-intent resection: a 10-year retrospective single-center study / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

BACKGROUND@#Textbook outcome (TO) can guide decision-making among patients and clinicians during preoperative patient selection and postoperative quality improvement. We explored the factors associated with achieving a TO for gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) after curative-intent resection and analyzed the effect of adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) on TO and non-TO patients.@*METHODS@#A total of 540 patients who underwent curative-intent resection for GBC at the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from January 2011 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Multivariable logistic regression was used to investigate the factors associated with TO.@*RESULTS@#Among 540 patients with GBC who underwent curative-intent resection, 223 patients (41.3%) achieved a TO. The incidence of TO ranged from 19.0% to 51.0% across the study period, with a slightly increasing trend over the study period. The multivariate analysis showed that non-TO was an independent risk factor for prognosis among GBC patients after resection ( P = 0.003). Age ≤60 years ( P = 0.016), total bilirubin (TBIL) level ≤34.1 μmol/L ( P <0.001), well-differentiated tumor ( P = 0.008), no liver involvement ( P <0.001), and T1-2 stage disease ( P = 0.006) were independently associated with achieving a TO for GBC after resection. Before and after propensity score matching (PSM), the overall survival outcomes of non-TO GBC patients who received ACT and those who did not were statistically significant; ACT improved the prognosis of patients in the non-TO group ( P <0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#Achieving a TO is associated with a better long-term prognosis among GBC patients after curative-intent resection, and ACT can improve the prognosis of those with non-TO.

Therapeutic evaluation of 89SrCl2 combined with 99Tc-MDP in treat-ing bone pain of patients with breast cancer and osseous metastasis / 中国肿瘤临床

Objective:To evaluate the clinical value of radioactive nuclide strontium chloride (89SrCl2) combined with 99Tc-MDP in treating patients with breast cancer and osseous metastasis. Methods:A total of 80 patients with breast cancer and experiencing bone pain from osseous metastasis were randomly categorized into three groups. 22 patients were treated with 99Tc-MDP (99Tc-MDP group), 30 were treated with 89SrCl2 (89SrCl2 group), and 28 were treated with the combination therapy of 89SrCl2 and 99Tc-MDP (combination group). The analgesic effect, remission of bone metastases, and quality of life of patients in the three groups were observed before and after treatment. Side effect was also monitored. Results:In the combination group, the overall pain relief rate and the increase rate of life quality score were 92.9%(26/28) and 78.6%(22/28), respectively. The combination group was statistically significantly different from the two single-treatment groups (P0.05). Conclusion:The treatment of 89SrCl2 com-bined with 99Tc-MDP can increase the analgesic effect and significantly improve the curative effect without overt side effects in patients with breast cancer and bone metastasis.
