RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the clinical and pathological features and improve the acknowledgement of intraductal tubulopapillary neoplasm (ITPN) of pancreas.Methods:Six cases with ITPN in the Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University combined with 40 cases from PubMed and CNKI were retrospectively analyzed. There were 25 males and 21 females, aged (58.6±16.0) years. The clinical manifestations, pathological features, treatment and so on were analyzed.Results:All cases were treated with surgery. The main clinical symptoms were upper abdominal pain and discomfort (23 cases, 50.0%), followed by jaundice (9 cases, 19.6%). Seven cases (15.2%) had no clinical symptoms. Three cases (6.5%) had low back discomfort, chills and other rare symptoms, and 4 cases (8.7%) had no clinical symptoms mentioned in the literature. Tumors of 27 cases (58.7%) located in the head of the pancreas, 9 cases (19.6%) in the body and tail, 4 cases (8.7%) in the whole pancreas, 3 cases (6.5%) in the body, 2 cases (4.3%) in ampulla and 1 case (2.2%) in head and body. Most of the tumors located in the main pancreatic duct. Microscopically, back-to-back tubular glands were densely arranged, parts of them with papillary structure, with obvious cell atypia and many mitoses. Twenty-two cases (47.8%) of ITPN were completely confined to the pancreatic duct, and 24 cases (52.2%) were with associated invasive carcinoma. Tumor cells were positive for cytokeratin 7 and mucin 1, but negative for cytokeratin 20, synaptophysin, chromogranin and trypsin. Mucin 2, mucin 5AC and mucin 6 were negative in most cases. Ki-67 ranged from 10% to 70%.Conclusion:Pancreatic ITPNs were mostly located in the pancreatic head, confined to the main pancreatic duct, and were mostly manifested as pain and discomfort in the upper abdomen. Surgery was the main treatment. Tumors cells of ITPN were arranged in tubular and papillary, with severe epithelial atypia and special immunophenotype, parts of cases accompanied with associated invasive carcinoma.
RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) combined with thermochemotherapy in the treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC).Methods From June 2008 to June 2011,70 patients with LAPC were divided into radiotherapy group (30 patients) and combination group (40 patients).Radiotherapy used 3D-CRT with a 90％ to 95％ isodose curve,a single dose of 1.8 to 2.OGy,and total radiation dose 50 ～ 70 Gy.The combination group patients received simultaneous thermotherapy at 41.5 ～43.5 ℃ (1 h/fraction,twice a week for 6 times),and hyperthermia given simultaneously injected using arsenic trioxide 20 mg,recombinant mutant human tumor necrosis factor(rmhTNF) intravenous infusion of 10 million U,4 to 6 times,or 3D-CRT at the same time and the treatment given after gemcitabine(0.6 ～ 1.0 g/m2) on Days dl and 8 and cisplatin (DDP) (20 ～ 30 mg/m2) on Days d1-3 intravenous infusion,repeated every 28 days for 3 ～ 6 cycles.Results At 3 months after treatment,the total response (complete remission and partial remission) rate was 70.0％ (49/70),the efficiency of radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy,and radiotherapy combined with thermo-chemotherapy were 56.5％ and 88.2％,and the radiotherapy alone group was 56.7％.There were significant difference in efficiency between radiotherapy combined with thermo-chemotherapy group compared to radiotherapy-chemotherapy group and radiotherapy group (x2 =4.68,4.98,P ＜ 0.05),the last two groups showed no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).The 1-year and 2-year survival rate was 46.8％ and 20.3％,respectively.The 1-year and 2-year survival rates were 52.4％ and 26.7％ in combination group,and 42.5％ and 16.2％ in radiotherapy group (x2 =14.17,P ＜ 0.05 ; x2 =9.74,P ＜ 0.05).No serious complications such as perforation,bleeding,and high fever were seen during treatment and follow-up.Conclusions 3D-CRT combined with thermochemotherapy is well tolerated and is relatively effective for the LAPC patients.
RESUMEN
ObjectiveTo determine the peripheral serum expressions and clinical value of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen CA19-9,CA242,CA72-4 and a single sialic acid ganglioside (CA50) antigen in advanced pancreatic cancer patients treated by three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) combined with endogenous field hyperthermia.Methods60 patients inoperable,advanced pancreatic cancer were treated by 3D-CRT combined with endogenous field hyperthermia.Radiation dose (DT) was 46 ～ 66 GY/23 ～ 33 F.Hyperthermia temperature was 41 ～ 43 ℃ 2 times/week,lasted 60 min each time.The expressions of CEA,CA19-9,CA242,CA72-4 and CA50 in peripheral serum were detected by Electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA) every 2 weeks during treatment,and correlation were analyzed with tumor diameter,clinical stage,lymph node metastasis.Results From the 8th week,with 3D-CRT combined with endogenous field hyperthermia ongoing,CEA,CA19-9,CA50 andCA242 expression levels showed a gradual decline.CEA,CA19-9,CA50 and CA242 expression levels were (6.22 ± 2.71 ) μg/L,(43.44 ± 12.93 ) μg/L,(23.21 ± 7.71 )g/L and (24.26 ± 8.92) μg/L in 6 weeks,respectively.The difference was statistically significant among week 6 and week 0,week2,week 4 ( P ＜0.05),however there was no significant difference between week 6 and week 8 ( P ＞ 0.05 ).The CA724 expression did not change significantly ( P ＞ 0.05 ).There were positively correlation between CEA,CA199,CA50 and CA242 with pancreatic cancer tumor size,clinical stage and lymph node metastasis( respectively r =0.877,0.725,0.826,all P ＜ 0.01 ),however CA72-4 had no correlations ( P ＞ 0.05).ConclusionsCEA,CA19-9,CA50 and CA242 expressions in peripheral serum of pancreatic cancer patients were closely related to the treatment.Their joint detection can be served as independent objective evaluation reference information for the treatment efficacy and prognosis.
