Objective To assess the effectiveness of adjuvant chemotherapy with complete resection for non-small cell lung cancer. Methods We searched MEDLINE （1966 ～ 2005 ）, EMBASE （1984-2005 ）, The Cochrane Library （Issue 2,2005 ）, CBMdisc （1979-2005 ）, CNKI （1994-2005 ）, VIP （1989-2005 ）, CMCC （1994-2005 ） and Wanfang Database with key words of non-small cell lung cancer or NSCLC and adjuvant chemotherapy, to identify randomized control trials （RCTs） of platinum-based adjuvant chemotherapy plus complete resection versus complete resection alone for non-small cell lung cancer patients. Two reviewers evaluated the quality of literature independently. Then we conducted meta-analysis using RevMan 4.2.7 software. Results We identified 9 RCTs and did not carry out pool analysis for the difference of chemotherapy regimens between the studies. The results of three studies showed that 5 years＇ mortality of adjuvant chemotherapy group was lower than that of surgery group alone. The results of the other 6 studies showed there was no statistical difference in 5 years＇ mortality between the adjuvant chemotherapy plus surgery and surgery alone groups. Conclusions The effectiveness of some adjuvant chemotherapy regimens with complete resection in patients with non-small cell lung cancer has been improved. But the number of each chemotherapy regimen RCT is too small and with poor quality. So more multi-center RCTs with a larger sample size and high quality are needed.
目的:探讨妊娠相关性宫颈癌的早期诊断、治疗和预后。方法:结合文献回顾分析我院2000年至2007年收治的13例妊娠相关性宫颈癌的诊治经过和预后。结果:妊娠相关性宫颈癌分化程度低，癌灶体积大，早期盆腔淋巴结转移率高，产褥期宫颈癌预后差。结论:宫颈细胞学检查应列为首次产检常规项目；妊娠期宫颈原位癌在密切随诊前提下可暂不予处理，待分娩后6~8周活检确认病变性质后，再采取相应治疗措施；新辅助化疗同样可为晚期别的妊娠相关性宫颈癌争取手术时机。
Objective To assess the clinical efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy （NAC） for breast invasive ductal carcinoma with MR diffusion weighted imaging. Methods Thirty patients with breast invasive ductal carcinoma underwent conventional MRI scanning and diffusion weighted imaging examination before and after preoperative neoadj-uvant chemotherapy. Two experienced radiologists independently analyzed and measured the maximum lesion diameter and apparent diffusion coefficient （ADC） values before and after treatment，respectively. Statistical analysis was performed for testing the tumor maximum diameter and ADC values change by using the paired t-test. Results After NAC treatment，the maximum tumor diameter of invasive ductal breast carcinoma sharply reduced〔（4.33±0.83） cm vs. （2.04±0.64） cm，P＜0.001〕. When b value was 1 000，the mean ADC values of breast massess were significantly changed after NAC treatment〔（1.89±0.15） ×10-3mm2/s vs. （1.14±0.31） ×10-3mm2/s， P＜0.05〕. Conclusion MR diffusion weighted imaging can non-invasively and accurately assess the NAC efficacy， which are helpful for making surgical strategies.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the effects of CTX, EADM, VCR, and Pred (CHOP) as preoperative regional intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy in primary gastric malignant lymphoma (PGML). MethodsForty-one patients with PGML underwent preoperative regionalarterial infusion chemotherapy. The regimen consisting of CTX 600 mg/m2, EADM 50 mg/m2, VCR 1.4 mg/m2, and Pred 60 mg/m2, was administrated 14－21 d before operation. Another 33 patients with similar PGML during the same period underwent surgery directly. The response of the tumor and chemotherapy toxicity were observed, together with the survival of the cases. ResultsAmong the 33 patients undergoing surgery directly, 24 cases (72.7%) had curative resection, the 5-year survival rate was 58.3% (14/24). All 41 patients of the neoadjuvant chemotherapy group completed the planned regimen of chemotherapy and surgery successfully. The most common related adverse effects were grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ gastrointestinal discomfort (22 cases) and bone marrow suppression (14 cases). Thirtyseven cases (90.2%) underwent curative resection, the 5year survival rate was 67.7% (21/31). There was no significant difference between two groups in 5year survival rate (χ2=0.517， P＝0.471), while with significant difference in curative resection rate (P＝0.041). ConclusionsNeoadjuvant intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy (CHOP) has been wellrated; it appears to have improved the resectable rate of the PGML patients studied.
Objective To explore the tumor shrinking model, the accurate image evaluation of the residual tumor, and the selection criteria for breast-conserving surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Methods To review literature on the clinical, imaging, and pathologic study of breast cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Results The possibility of breast-conserving for patients with large primary tumor is enhanced with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The tumor shrinking mode after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and its correlation factors are still unclear. MRI is the most accurate image evaluation of the residual tumor at present. M.D.Anderson prognostic index and the American National Cancer Institute selection criteria for breast-conserving surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy are helpful for selection of surgical type. Conclusion Tumor shrinking mode and its accurate image evaluation is a key to the selection of breast-conserving surgery and the control of local recurrence after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and is the research direction in future.
Objective To compare the clinical effect between neo-adjuvant chemotherapy combined with operation and simple operation under multi-disciplinary team in rectal cancer. Methods A survey of 72 patients with rectal cancer from Nov. 2007 to Mar. 2008 were studied. Patients were divided into two groups using a simple random method: 33 cases in combined therapy group were treated with single period neo-adjuvant chemotherapy as well as operation and 39 cases in control group received operation only. To compare the differences of perioperative period indexes between two groups. Results During the differences of indexes of age, gender, differentiation degree, clinicopathologic stage as well as the distance to dentate line of tumor, there was no statistical significance between combined therapy group and control group (Pgt;0.05). And at the same time, the operative type, operative time and bleeding quantity in operation had no statistically significant difference between two groups (Pgt;0.05). As for the postoperative rehabilitation indexes, the time of vent to normal in combined therapy group was earlier than that in control group, but the intake time was later than that in control group （Plt;0.05）. Falling range from preoperative CEA to postoperative CEA was larger in combined therapy group than that in control group （Plt;0.05）; and the falling range from preoperative WBC to postoperative WBC had no significant difference between two groups （Pgt;0.05）. Conclusion The clinical effect of combined therapy is obviously superior to simple operation, suggesting that neo-adjuvant chemotherapy combined with operation is feasible and safe.
