TIGIT/CD226 Axis Handles Anti-Tumor Immunity.
Recurrence occurred in 4 patients within 30 days, and the clinical success rate was 80%(16/20). Mild maxillofacial pain occurred in 5 patients (25.0%) and no serious complications occurred. Conclusion Emergency interventional embolization is safe and effective for the management of intractable tumor bleeding in head and neck cancer.Objective To explore the latest progress of oncology drug clinical trials in China under COVID-19, as well as to provide decision-making evidence for related stakeholders. Research progress of oncology drug trials and approved cancer drugs in China in 2020 were systematically summarized and compared with 2019. Methods Information Disclosure Platform for Drug Clinical Studies and China Food and Drug Administration Query System for Domestic and Imported Drug were searched for registered clinical trials and approved oncology drugs, respectively. The trial scope, stage, drug type, effect and mechanism of domestic and global pharmaceutical enterprises were compared between 2019 and 2020. Results A total of 722 cancer drug trials registered in China in 2020, with an annual growth rate of 52.3%, accounting for 28.3% of all registered trials. Among them, 603 (83.5%) trials were initiated by domestic pharmaceutical enterprises, and 105 (14.5%) were international multicenter trials, phase I trials accounted for 44.5%. intain a high growth rate. Series of innovative products obtained by domestic enterprises in 2020 is the main driving force of development of oncology drug clinical trials in China.Objective To compare the application effect of blue dye single tracer and blue dye combined with nuclide double tracer in sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) of breast cancer surgery. Methods A total of 92 breast cancer patients in Shandong Cancer Hospital and Institute from November 2017 to October 2019 underwent methyleneblue dye combined with (99)Tc(m) sulfur colloid nuclide double tracer in SLNB, while other 92 cases in Jining First People Hospital underwent blue dye single tracer. The number of SLN detection, detection rate, accuracy rate, sensitivity, and false negative rate of the two groups were compared. The impacts of age, menstruation, tumor location, tumor size, clinical stage, pathological type, and estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), human epidermal receptor 2 (HER-2), molecular typing, dynamic enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI)on the detection rate of SLN were analyzed. Results The number of detection, detection rate, accuracy, sensitivity, and false negative rate of the blue dye single tracer group were 3.20±1.10, 90.22%, 93.48%, 95.24% and 4.76%, respectively; the double tracer group were 3.37±1.02, 92.39%, 95.65%, 95.65% and 4.35%, respectively, without significant difference (all P>0.05). In different age, menstrual condition, tumor location, clinical stage, pathological type, ER, PR, HER-2 expression and molecular typing, the detection rate of single tracer group and double tracer group had no significant difference (all P>0.05). However, in the tumor size of 2-5 cm and without DCE-MRI examination, the detection rate of single tracer group was significantly lower than that of double tracer group. Conclusion The effect of blue dye single tracer in detecting SLN of breast cancer is equivalent to that of double tracer method, which is worthy of promotion and application in primary hospitals.Objective To explore the diagnostic accuracy improved by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) biomarkers for lymph node metastasis in T1-2 stage rectal cancer before treatment. Methods Medical records of 327 patients with T1-2 rectal cancer who underwent pretreatment MRI and rectal tumor resection between January 2015 and November 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. selleck compound Fifty-seven cases were divided into the lymph node metastasis group (N+ group) while other 270 cases in the non-lymph node metastasis group (N-group) according to the pathologic diagnosis. Two radiologist evaluated the tumor characteristics of MRI images. The relationship of the clinical and imaging characteristics of lymph node metastasis was assessed by using univariate analysis and multivariable logistic regression analysis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic abilities for the differentiation of N- from N+ tumors. Results Among the 327 patients, MR-N evaluation was positive in 67 cases, which was statistically different from the pathological diagnosis (P less then 0.001). The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of MRI for lymph node metastasis were 45.6%, 84.8% and 78.0%, respectively. Multivariate regression analysis showed that tumor morphology (P=0.002), including mucus or not (P less then 0.001), and MR-N evaluation (P less then 0.001) were independent influencing factors for stage T1-2 rectal cancer with lymph node metastasis. The area under the ROC curve of rectal cancer with lymph node metastasis analyzed by the logistic regression model was 0.786 (95%CI 0.720~0.852). Conclusions Tumor morphology, including mucus or not, and MR-N evaluation can serve as independent biomarkers for differentiation of N- and N+ tumors. The model combined with these biomarkers facilitates to improve the diagnostic accuracy of lymph node metastasis in T1-2 rectal cancers by using MRI.Objective To explore and establish an artificial neural network (ANN) model for predicting the efficacy of first-line FOLFOX chemotherapy for metastatic colorectal cancer. Methods A set of FOLFOX chemotherapy data from a group of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) (GSE104645) was downloaded from the GEO database as a training set. According to the FOLFOX protocol, the efficacy was divided into two groups the chemo-sensitive group (including complete response and partial response) and the chemo-resistant group (including stable disease and progressive disease), including 31 cases in the sensitive group and 23 in the resistant group. Then, chip data (accessible number GSE69657) from Fujian Medical University Union Hospital were chosen as a test set. A total of 30 patients were enrolled in the study, including 13 in the sensitive group and 17 in the resistant group. The batch effect correction was performed on the expression values of the two sets of matrices using the R 3.5.1 software Combat package.
