Objective To investigate the clinical features, treatment methods, and prognostic influence factors of patients with malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST). MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 96 MPNST patients treated between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2021. There were 46 males and 50 females, aged between 15 and 87 years (mean, 48.2 years). The tumors were located in the trunk in 50 cases, extremities in 39 cases, and head and neck in 7 cases. The maximum tumor diameter was <5 cm in 49 cases, ≥5 cm in 32 cases, with 15 cases missing data. Tumor depth was deep in 77 cases and superficial in 19 cases. The Fédération Nationale des Centres de Lutte Contre le Cancer (FNCLCC) histological grading was G1 in 9 cases, G2 in 12 cases, and G3 in 34 cases, with 41 cases missing data. There were 37 recurrent MPNST cases, 32 cases with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), and 26 cases in stage Ⅳ. Postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy was administered to 25 patients, perioperative chemotherapy to 45 patients, and anlotinib-targeted therapy to 30 patients. R0 resection was achieved in 73 cases. Patients were divided into groups based on the presence or absence of NF1, and baseline data between the two groups were compared. Kaplan-Meier curves were generated to assess disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) based on various factors (age, gender, presence of NF1, recurrent MPNST, stage Ⅳ MPNST, FNCLCC grade, R0 resection, tumor location, tumor size, tumor depth, perioperative chemotherapy, postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy, and anlotinib-targeted therapy), and differences between survival curves were analyzed using the Log-Rank test. Multivariate COX proportional hazards regression was used to identify independent prognostic factors for MPNST. Results Patients with NF1 had a significantly higher proportion of superficial tumors and lower FNCLCC grade compared to those without NF1 (P<0.05); no significant difference was found for other variables (P<0.05). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that recurrent MPNST, stage Ⅳ MPNST, FNCLCC grade, R0 resection, perioperative chemotherapy, and anlotinib-targeted therapy were factors influencing 1-year DFS (P<0.05), while stage Ⅳ MPNST, FNCLCC grade, and perioperative chemotherapy were factors affecting 3-year OS (P<0.05). Multivariate COX proportional hazards regression analysis revealed that recurrent MPNST and high-grade FNCLCC (G3) were independent prognostic factors for 1-year DFS (P<0.05), while stage Ⅳ MPNST, superficial tumor depth, age over 60 years, postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy, and anlotinib-targeted therapy were independent prognostic factors for 3-year OS (P<0.05). Conclusion MPNST patients with NF1 tend to have more superficial tumors and lower FNCLCC grades. FNCLCC grade, R0 resection, and adjuvant therapies, including radiotherapy and anlotinib-targeted therapy, are closely associated with MPNST prognosis. Complete surgical resection should be prioritized in clinical management, along with adjuvant treatments such as radiotherapy and targeted therapy of anlotinib to improve patient outcomes.
Objective To investigate surgical combined management of local recurrence of rectal cancer after anterior resection. Methods Relevant references about the surgical combined treatment of local recurrence of rectal cancer, which were published recently domestic and abroad were collected and reviewed. Results The surgical combined treatment for local recurrence of rectal cancer can markedly improve the survival ratio. Conclusion The surgical combined management of local recurrence of rectal cancer after anterior resection should be performed. The active and effective surgical combined management may help prolong the survival time and improve life quality.
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intraoperative mesenchymal chemotherapy with 5-FU implants in radical gastrectomy of advanced gastric cancer. Methods From January 2008 to September 2009, 102 patients with historically proven advanced gastric cancer were enrolled in our department and were allocated to undergo either radical gastrectomy and intraoperative mesenchymal chemotherapy with 5-FU implants 800 mg(treatment group, n=51), or radical gastrectomy alone (control group, n=51). The postoperative complications and recurrence rate between two groups were compared. Results There were no significant differences on the volume of abdominal cavity drainage, count of white blood cells, albumin level, and gastrointestinal adverse events between the two groups (P>0.05). After a median follow-up of 28 months, the local recurrence rate was lower among patients in treatment group than that in control group (16.3% vs. 39.1%, P<0.05), the survival rate of 3-year was higher in treatment group than that in control group (85.8% vs. 67.3%, P<0.05). Conclusions Compared with the control group, there are no significant adverse reactions on patients with advanced gastric cancer who were implanted fluorouraci1 implants during operation, which can reduce local recurrence rates and improve the survival rates.
Objective To summarize the current advancement of preoperative radiotherapy for rectal cancer. Methods Relevant literatures about current advancement of preoperative radiotherapy for rectal cancer published domesticly and abroad recently were collected and reviewed. Results The lower local recurrence rate and longer disease-free survival time were observed in preoperative radiotherapy, compared with postoperative radiotherapy for rectal cancer. The recurrence rate was higher in short-course radiotherapy, compared with conventionally radiotherapy for stageⅢrectal cancer, but there was no significant difference for stageⅡrectal cancer. The biology molecular such as p53, CEA, Cox-2, EGFR, and VEGF had shown to be radiosensitive. Conclusions The proposal of preoperative radiotherapy for rectal cancer, could be prone to conventionally radiotherapy. There are more screening targets for preoperative radiotherapy in extensive exploration of diverse radiosensitivity. Biology molecular, developed gene expression profiling, and gene chips for rectal cancer may contribute to the individualization treatment.
ObjectiveTo discuss the feasibility and security of breast conserving surgery (BCS) in patients with multifocal/multicentric breast cancer (MMBC).MethodThe clinical trials about BCS in patients with MMBC at home and abroad in recent years were searched and reviewed.ResultsThe results of most retrospective clinical trials showed that BCS in patients with MMBC could achieve similar or at least as good results as mastectomy. However, for there were some inevitable bias in retrospective studies, the conclusion should be analyzed modestly. Two prospective multicenter randomized controlled trials, the MIAMI UK trial and the ACOSOG Z11102 trial, were still ongoing, of which results were expected to confirm these conclusions further. ConclusionsUnder the premise of mastering the indications, BCS would be a reasonable option for MMBC when incisal margin is negative and cosmetic result is satisfactory. In addition, the lack of standard classification and definition for multifocality and multicentricity increases the difficulty of the research, and the distance of the cancer foci and the ratio of tumor to breast volume in patients with MMBC might be the key factors affecting the efficacy of BCS. Therefore, more rational-designed prospective studies and accurate subgroup analysis are expected to provide impelling evidence for application of BCS in patients with MMBC.
