RESUMEN
Objective@#Breast intraductal papillary tumors are clinically common diseases derived from the ducts. The aim of this study is to investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of intraductal papillary tumors and risk factors for carcinogenesis.@*Methods@#The clinicopathological data of 674 patients with breast intraductal papillary tumors, who underwent surgery in the National Cancer Center/Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from January 2010 to July 2015, were retrospectively analyzed.@*Results@#The median follow-up time was 46 months. The 674 cases were classified into 547 intraductal papilloma, 88 cases of intraductal papillary carcinoma, 32 cases of intracystic papillary carcinoma, and 7 cases of solid papillary carcinoma of breast. After a median follow-up time of 46 months, 13 out of 547 (2.4%) intraductal papillomas had local recurrence in the original dissected quadrat, another 10 cases developed breast cancer in the original dissected quadrat. The 3-year recurrence-free survival rates in intraductal papilloma and intraductal papilloma accompanied with atypical ductal hyperplasia were 97.7% and 93.5%, respectively, the recurrence-free survival curves showed a significant difference (P=0.011). Multivariate analysis indicated that atypical ductal hyperplasia was a major prognostic factor affecting the recurrence-free survival of intraductal papilloma (RR=0.183, 95%CI=0.054 to 0.777, P=0.020). Four cases (3.1%) of intraductal papillary carcinoma had local recurrence. The logistic analysis showed that patient aged >45 years, clinical manifestations of a breast lump, maximum tumor diameter greater than 2 cm are possible clinical manifestation of malignant breast intraductal papillary tumors (RR=1.735, 95%CI=1.007-2.990, P=0.047; RR=2.849, 95%CI=1.207-6.711, P=0.017; RR=3.792, 95%CI=2.162-6.653, P<0.001).@*Conclusions@#Intraductal papillary tumors have a certain recurrence rate. Age, clinical features and tumor size may be predictive factors of intraductal papillary carcinoma.
RESUMEN
Objective To explore the clinical significance and treatment regimen of sentinel lymph node(SLN) micrometastases and isolated tumor cell metastasis in breast cancer.Methods Ninety-seven breast cancer patients with sentinel lymph node micrometastases or isolated tumor cell metastasis from January 2013 to December 2015 were retrospectively studied.The patients were assigned to axillary lymph node dissection group (ALND,41 cases) and non axillary lymph node dissection group(non-ALND,56 cases) according to the final surgery mode to the axilla.Disease-free survival(DFS) and overall survival (OS) were compared between the two groups.Results Neither clinico-pathological factors,such as age,tumor size,grade,ER/PR status,HER-2 gene expression,Ki-67 expression and the size of the SLN metastasis,nor the treatment,such as breast surgery,postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy,radiotherapy and hormone therapy were found statistically different between the two groups (P > 0.05).There were 96 patients evaluable with a median follow up of 24 months.The DFS of the ALND and non-ALND group was 97.5% and 96.6% (P > 0.05),and the OS was 100% and 98.2% (P > 0.05) respectively with no difference between the two groups.There were 2 ispilateral axillary recurrence in the non-ALND group and non in the ALND group.Conclusion Axillary lymph node dissection may be omitted for the breast cancer patients with sentinel lymph node micrometastases and isolated tumor cell metastases.But the postoperative adjuvant systemic treatment should be emphasized.
RESUMEN
Objective To explore the risk factors and metastasis of non-sentinel lymph node (NSLN) in breast cancer patients with sentinel lymph node metastasis≤2. Methods 88 cases of breast cancer with sentinel lymph node metastasis≤2 were retrospectively analyzed. Factors influencing the status of NSLN were studied. Results 8 cases (9.09%) had NSLN metastasis. Variance analysis showed that tumor stage(P=0.014), histolog-ical grade(P=0.014) and ER statuts(P=0.009) were correlated with NSLN metastasis. Logistic analysis showed that only histological grade was the independent predictor for NSLN metastasis (P=0.016,OR=1.150,95%CI=0.598~7.740).18 cases had micro-metastasis of sentinel lymph node and 70 cases had macro-metastasis of sentinel lymph node. The ratio of false negative SLN was 10.23%. The mean follow-up time was 11 months. There was no case of recurrence, metastasis or death. Conclusions The metastasis rate of NSLN is relatively low in breast cancer patients with small number of positive SLNs. NSLN metastasis is related to tumor stage, histological grade, and ER expression.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To analyze the relationship between the expression level of Ki67 and clinicopathological features in breast cancer.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Data of 918 female patients with invasive ductal breast carcinoma treated in the Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from Jan. to Dec. 2010 were analyzed retrospectively. The correlation of Ki67 expression and other clinicopathological features in the breast cancer was analyzed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Among the 918 cases, the Ki67 index was 0.9% to 95% (mean value 27.8%). Taking the Ki67 index 14% as the boundary to divide the patients into two subgroups, 263 cases (28.6%) were ≤ 14%, and 655 cases (71.4%) were >14%. There were significant differences between the Ki67 expression and age, tumor size, axillary lymph nodes status, histological grade and the expressions of C-erbB-2, estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) (P < 0.05 for all). All the Ki67 indexes of Ki67 expression in luminal B (30.44%), HER-2 overexpression (36.77%) and triple negative (47.40%) subtypes were significantly higher than that in the luminal A subtype (21.36%)(P < 0.01). The expression level of Ki67 in triple-negative subtype (47.40%) was significantly higher than that in the non-triple-negative subtype (24.79%)(P < 0.001).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Ki67 index is significantly correlated with the age, tumor TNM stage, axillary lymph node status, histological grading, ER status, PR status and HER-2 status. A high expression level of Ki67 is a poor prognostic factor for breast cancer. The expression level of Ki67 should be detected routinely and it may become a useful prognostic marker in the treatment of breast cancer.</p>

Objective To investigate the safety and acute toxicities of intraoperative electron radiotherapy for patients with abdominal tumors.Methods From May 2008 to August 2009, 52 patients with abdominal tumors were treated with intraoperative electron radiotherapy,including 14 patients with breast cancer,19 with pancreatic cancer,3 with cervical cancer, 4 with ovarian cancer, 6 with sarcoma, and 6 with other tumors.Fifteen patients were with recurrent tumors.The intraoperative radiotherapy was performed using Mobetron mobile electron accelerator, with total dose of 9 - 18 Gy.In all, 29, 4 and 19 patients received complete resection, palliative resection and surgical exploration, respectively.The complications during the operations and within 6 months after operations were graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v3.0 (CTC 3.0).Results The median duration of surgery was 190 minutes.Intraoperative complications were observed in 5 patients, including 3 with hemorrhage, 1 with hypotension,and 1 with hypoxemia, all of which were treated conservatively.The median hospitalization time and time to take out stitches was 12 and 13 days, respectively.And the in-hospital mortality was 4% (2/52).Twentyfour patients suffered post-operative adverse events, including 3 postoperative infections.With a median follow-up time of 183 days, 20% of patients sufferred from grade 3 to 5 adverse events, with hematological toxicities being the most common complication, followed by bellyache.Grade 1 and 2 toxicities which were definitely associated with intraoperative radiotherapy was 28% and 4%, respectively.None of grade 3 to 5 complications were proved to be caused by intraoperative radiotherapy.Conclusions Intraoperative electron radiotherapy is well tolerable and could be widely used for patients with abdominal tumors, with a little longer time to take out stitches but without more morbidities and toxicities compared surgery alone.
RESUMEN
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the application of hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery (HALS) in colorectal carcinoma resection.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Fourteen patients with colorectal carcinoma underwent resection by HALS.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Hand-assisted laparoscopic right hemicolectomy was performed in 6 of 8 ascending colon cancer patients, spending an average of 160 minutes (110 to 220 minutes) for the procedure. The amount of bleeding was 40 approximately 100 ml. Bowel sounds resumed in 36 approximately 72 hours after the operation. The average interval between the operation and patients' discharge was 8 days (7 to 12 days). For 2 patients the surgeons had to resort to laparotomy. All patients received postoperative chemotherapy. Hand-assisted laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection was performed in 5 of 6 patients with lower rectal cancer, with the average duration of 180 minutes (120 to 270 minutes), with bleeding of 40 to 80 ml. Bowel sounds resumed within 24 to 72 hours and the average discharge interval was 14 days (12 to 18 days). The urinary catheter in 6 patients was removed in 7 to 8 days after the operation. All patients with rectal carcinoma received postoperative chemotherapy and radiotherapy. One patient was shifted to laparotomy because of extensive adhesion in the pelvic cavity. Four of 11 patients treated by HALS experienced slight pain in the incision. No other complications were observed in any of the patients. Remote results await further follow-up.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of colorectal carcinoma, a safe and simple procedure, not only ensures the clearance of tumor, but also reduces operative trauma and hastens recovery.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To improve the diagnosis and treatment of carcinoma of head of pancreas.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A retrospective study was carried out to evaluate 178 patients suffering from carcinoma of head of pancreas.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Pain in the epigastrium and obstructive jaundice were observed in 70% and 74.2% of these 178 patients, both of which were of significance (P < 0.001) between stage I, II and stage III, IV disease. Only 18% of patients had pain in the back, 81.3% of whom belonged to the stage IV category. The detection rate of the tumor by B-ultrasound, CT and MRI were 74.2%, 87.3% and 85.5%, respectively. The success rate of pancreatoduodenectomy was 10.1%. The postoperative 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates were 67.5%, 36% and 5.6%. Internal drainage was performed in 115 patients. The median survival time was 7 months in patients with unresectable tumor who received radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Pain in the epigastrium and obstructive jaundice are the most common symptoms. Hyperglycemia is the most common complication. Pain in the back implies an advanced lesion. CT is the most important way of diagnosis and the combination of B-ultrasound, CT and MRI may improve the rate of diagnosis up to 96.6%. By now, pancreaticoduodenectomy is still the only effective treatment for the carcinoma of head of pancreas and internal drainage is an important palliative measure.</p>

Objective To explore the value and criteria for primary tumor resection in patients with stage Ⅳ rectal cancer. Methods The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed for 53 patients with stage Ⅳ rectal cancer undergoing primary tumor resection. Results All patients were graded according to Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance as status 1. Seventeen of 53 patients (32%) received palliative resection. Thirty-six patients received adjuvant radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy. The median follow-up was 14 months. Forty-seven patients had complete resolution of their symptoms related to the primary rectal cancer for a year. The median survival was 16 months and 2-year overall survival of 24.5%. On multivariate analysis, chemotherapy was a determinant of prolonged survival (P=0.046). Conclusions Resection of primary tumor in patients with stage Ⅳ rectal cancer can improve the quality of life. Patients who have a good performance status, minimal metastatic disease and normal preoperative liver function tests should undergo resective surgery and aggresive systemic chemotherapy.
RESUMEN
ObjectiveTo sum up the experience in the treatment of huge primary retroperitoneal pelvic tumors (diameter≥10 cm), and analyze factors influencing the removal of the tumors during surgical procedures. MethodsA clinical retrospective review of 26 cases with huge primary retroperitoneal pelvic tumors undergoing surgical resection was made during a period of 1980~2000 in our hospital. The rate of tumors resected was compared between benign and malignant, male and female patients. Results The tumor resection rate in this group was 73%(19/26). There was no mortality within 30 days and no severe postoperative complication. Conclusion Resection should be attempted whenever possible for patients suffering from huge pelvic tumors. The resection rate was higher in female patients than that in male patients. Major blood vessels invasion is responsible for low radical resection rate.
RESUMEN
Objective To identify the association strength of the prevalence of HBeAg, cccDNA with the occurrence of HBV related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in high risk male cohort in Qidong area in China. Methods A cohort of 377 middle aged HBV infected men in Qidong was followed from 1989 for 13. 25 years. HCC cases were registered. A matched case-controlled study was conducted on 32 pairs of inherent HCC cases with non-HCC controls. Serum HBeAg was measured by ELISA. cccDNA was detected by semi-nested PCR and verified by DNA sequencing. Standard statistical comparison between the prevalence of each HBV marker in HCC versus control group provided the odds ratio and P-value was used to evaluate its association strength with HCC occurrence. Results Serum HBeAg prevalence was 53. 1% (17/32) in HCC group versus 15. 6% (5/32) in controls, odds ratio (OR) =6. 12, P
