METHODS Between 2010 and 2017, 1623 consecutive patients underwent ESD for gastric neoplasms at a single tertiary referral center. Among these, 28 patients underwent secondary ESD for a residual or locally recurrent tumor. Our analysis compared clinicopathologic factors between primary ESD and secondary ESD groups. RESULTS The en bloc resection and curative rate of resection of secondary ESD were 92.9% and 89.3%, respectively. The average procedure time of secondary ESD was significantly longer than primary ESD(78.2 min vs 55.1 min, P = 0.004), and the adverse events rate was not significantly different but trended slightly higher in the secondary ESD group compared to the primary ESD group(10.7% vs 3.8%, P = 0.095). Patients who received secondary ESD had favorable outcomes without severe adverse events. During a mean follow-up period, no local recurrence occurred in patients who received secondary ESD. CONCLUSION Secondary ESD of residual or locally recurrent gastric tumors appears to be a feasible and curative treatment though it requires greater technical efficiency and longer procedure time.展开更多

Methods： Clinical data of 47 cases of uterine neoplasms occurred following radiation therapy for cervical carcinoma were retrospectively reviewed. Results： The median age at uterine neoplasms diagnosis was 62 years （range： 38-77 years）, and the median latency period from initial therapy to development of uterine neoplasms was 14 years （range： 5-35 years）. Thirty of 47 cases were endometrial carcinoma, of which 3 were uterine papillary serous carcinoma （UPSC）. Seventeen of 47 patients were uterine sarcoma, all of those were carcinosarcoma. The distribution by stage, grade, and histology of 30 cases of endometrial carcinoma was as follows： stage Ⅰb, 1 case; stage Ⅰc, 2 cases; stage Ⅱ, 6; stage Ⅲa, 4; stage Ⅲb, 2; stage Ⅲc, 11; stage Ⅳ, 4 cases; grade 1, two cases; grade 2, nine; grade 3 （include 3 UPSC patients）, seventeen; unknown grade, two; endometriod, 27; UPSC, 3 cases; 7 of 30 cases of endometrial carcinoma had recurrences （23.3%）, at median time to recurrence was 24 months, and their median survival time was 26 months. The overall 3- and 5-year survival rates were 60% and 38%, respectively. Of the 17 cases of uterine sarcoma, the median survival was 10 months, 6 patients occurred recurrence （35.9%）, at a median time to recurrence was 9 months, and their median survival was 6 months. The overall 3- and 5-year survival rates were 12% and 0, respectively. Conclusion： The main uterine neoplasms development after radiation therapy for cervical carcinoma is endometrial carcinomas, of which there is a preponderance of high-risk histological subtypes and a poor prognosis. Most of the uterine sarcomas occurred following radiation therapy for cervical carcinoma are carcinosarcomas and the prognosis is very poor.展开更多

文摘The level of glutathione(GSH)is significantly associated with numerous pathological processes,thus,real-time detection of the GSH level is of significance for early diagnosis of GSH-related diseases.Herein,we developed in vivo second near-infrared(NIR-II)window fluorescence(FL)and ratiometric photoacoustic(RPA)dual-modality imaging of GSH using a GSH-activatable probe(LET-14).LET-14 was synthesized based on a rhodamine hybrid xanthene skeleton with a FL shielding 2,4-dinitrobenzene sulfonyl group that can be specifically cleaved by GSH,thus resulting in a markedly bathochromic-shift absorption,a 6.5-fold increase in NIR-II FL intensity(FL920)and a 13-fold increase in RPA signal(PA880/PA705)in vitro.Intriguingly,LET-14 exhibits good selectivity and sensitivity for NIR-II FL and RPA dual-modality imaging of GSH in 4T1 tumor-bearing mouse model.Our findings develop an in vivo detection tool of GSH,which has great potential in the field of cancer diagnosis.

文摘Neuroendocrine neoplasms(NENs)are highly heterogeneous and potentially malignant tumors arising from secretory cells of the neuroendocrine system.Gastroenteropancreatic NENs(GEP-NENs)are the most common subtype of NENs.Historically,GEP-NENs have been regarded as infrequent and slow-growing malignancies;however,recent data have demonstrated that the worldwide prevalence and incidence of GEP-NENs have increased exponentially over the last three decades.In addition,an increasing number of studies have proven that GEP-NENs result in a limited life expectancy.These findings suggested that the natural biology of GEP-NENs is more aggressive than commonly assumed.Therefore,there is an urgent need for advanced researches focusing on the diagnosis and management of patients with GEP-NENs.In this review,we have summarized the limitations and recent advancements in our comprehension of the epidemiology,clinical presentations,pathology,molecular biology,diagnosis,and treatment of GEP-NETs to identify factors contributing to delays in diagnosis and timely treatment of these patients.
文摘To the Editor,We have read the article by Gener-Ricos et al.titled"NPM1-mutated myeloid neoplasms are a unique entity not defined by bone marrow blast percentage",published in Cancer[1].This retrospective,cross-sectional pilot study provides valuable insights into the clinicopathological features and treatment outcomes of patients with NPM1-mutated myeloid neoplasms(MNs)with less than 20%bone marrow blasts[1].
文摘Appendiceal mucinous neoplasms(AMNs)are rare tumors originating from mucin-producing epithelial cells of the appendix.They can exhibit both benign and malignant behavior.They are often incidentally discovered during appendectomy.Clinical presentation ranges from asymptomatic to mimicking acute appendicitis.Histologically,noninvasive AMNs are classified as low-grade AMNs(LAMNs)or high-grade AMNs(HAMNs),whereas invasive tumors are categorized as mucinous adenocarcinomas.Although LAMNs and HAMNs are generally nonmalignant,rupture can lead to pseudomyxoma peritonei(PMP).Surgical resection is the primary diagnostic and therapeutic approach,with intraoperative assessment to prevent rupture.Treatment strategies vary based on findings and include appendectomy,right hemicolectomy,and cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy.Histological diagnosis relies on mucin detection,and immunohistochemical markers such as cytokeratin 20(diffusely positive),cytokeratin 7(often negative),mucin 5AC,and special ATrich sequence-binding protein 2 assist in characterization.Molecular profiling frequently identifies KRAS,GNAS,and TP53 mutations.KRAS mutations are generally associated with a favorable prognosis,whereas GNAS and TP53 mutations correlate with poorer survival outcomes.These findings highlight the potential role of molecular profiling in guiding treatment strategies for AMN and PMP.
文摘BACKGROUND Pancreatic cystic neoplasms(PCNs)are increasingly detected due to advancements in radiographic techniques,with a prevalence of approximately 15%in the general population.These lesions range from benign to premalignant and malignant,posing a diagnostic challenge.Accurate differentiation is critical,as premalignant and malignant PCNs often require surgical intervention,while benign cysts may only need monitoring unless symptomatic.Current diagnostic methods,including cross-sectional imaging,endoscopic ultrasonography,and endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine-needle aspiration/biopsy,are specialized,not universally available,and have variable accuracy.Clinical and laboratory parameters such as carbohydrate antigen 19-9(CA 19-9),neutrophillymphocyte ratio,platelet-lymphocyte ratio,and red cell distribution width(RDW)have been associated with malignancy risk,though only CA 19-9 is guideline-supported.AIM To assess the malignancy risk of PCNs using preoperative clinical and routine laboratory parameters.METHODS A retrospective cohort study analyzed 70 patients who underwent surgery for PCNs at Ankara Bilkent City Hospital between February 2019 and March 2023.Patients were categorized into group A(benign or low-grade dysplasia,n=40)and group B(malignancy or high-grade dysplasia,n=30)based on postoperative pathology.Preoperative demographic and laboratory parameters,including age,RDW,albumin,and CA 19-9,were compared.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses identified independent predictors of malignancy.Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis evaluated predictive performance,with internal validation using bootstrapping.RESULTS Group B patients were older(69.86±9.58 years vs 52.74±16.85 years,P<0.001)and had a higher incidence of diabetes mellitus(57.1%vs 21.4%,P=0.002).RDW(16.2%vs 13.7%,P<0.001),platelet-lymphocyte ratio(178 vs 126,P=0.008),and CA 19-9(21.7 U/mL vs 9.3 U/mL,P=0.009)were significantly higher in group B,while albumin was lower(41 g/L vs 45 g/L,P=0.008).Multivariate analysis identified age[odds ratio=1.067,95%confidence interval(CI):1.014-1.122,P=0.012]and RDW(odds ratio=1.784,95%CI:1.172-2.715,P=0.007)as independent predictors.The area under the curve for age,RDW,and their combination was 0.798(95%CI:0.695-0.900),0.801(95%CI:0.692-0.911),and 0.858(95%CI:0.771-0.944),respectively,with bootstrapped validation confirming stability.Cut-off values of age≥60 years and RDW≥15.5%balanced sensitivity and specificity,increasing malignancy risk 15.3-fold and 22.6-fold,respectively.CONCLUSION Age and RDW are independent predictors of malignancy in PCNs,aiding in patient selection for advanced diagnostics and surgery.Larger,multicenter studies are needed to validate these findings.

文摘Pancreatic cystic neoplasms(PCNs) are a diverse group of neoplasms in the pancreas,and are more increasingly encountered with widespread abdominal screening and improved imaging techniques.The most common types of PCNs are serous cystic neoplasms(SCNs),mucinous cystic neoplasms(MCNs),and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms(IPMNs).Clinicians frequently feel bewildered in the differential diagnosis and subsequent management among the various types of lesions in the pancreas,which may lead to overtreatment or delayed treatment.The current review provides recent developments in the understanding of the three most common types of PCNs,the latest modalities used in preoperative diagnosis and differential diagnosis,as well as the most up to date management.Suggestions for diagnosis and differential diagnosis of SCNs,MCNs,and IPMNs are also provided for young surgeons.Better understanding of these neoplasms is essential for clinicians to make accurate diagnosis and to provide the best management for patients.
文摘Objective： To study the characteristics and clinical features of uterine neoplasms developed after radiation therapy for cervical carcinoma. Methods： Clinical data of 47 cases of uterine neoplasms occurred following radiation therapy for cervical carcinoma were retrospectively reviewed. Results： The median age at uterine neoplasms diagnosis was 62 years （range： 38-77 years）, and the median latency period from initial therapy to development of uterine neoplasms was 14 years （range： 5-35 years）. Thirty of 47 cases were endometrial carcinoma, of which 3 were uterine papillary serous carcinoma （UPSC）. Seventeen of 47 patients were uterine sarcoma, all of those were carcinosarcoma. The distribution by stage, grade, and histology of 30 cases of endometrial carcinoma was as follows： stage Ⅰb, 1 case; stage Ⅰc, 2 cases; stage Ⅱ, 6; stage Ⅲa, 4; stage Ⅲb, 2; stage Ⅲc, 11; stage Ⅳ, 4 cases; grade 1, two cases; grade 2, nine; grade 3 （include 3 UPSC patients）, seventeen; unknown grade, two; endometriod, 27; UPSC, 3 cases; 7 of 30 cases of endometrial carcinoma had recurrences （23.3%）, at median time to recurrence was 24 months, and their median survival time was 26 months. The overall 3- and 5-year survival rates were 60% and 38%, respectively. Of the 17 cases of uterine sarcoma, the median survival was 10 months, 6 patients occurred recurrence （35.9%）, at a median time to recurrence was 9 months, and their median survival was 6 months. The overall 3- and 5-year survival rates were 12% and 0, respectively. Conclusion： The main uterine neoplasms development after radiation therapy for cervical carcinoma is endometrial carcinomas, of which there is a preponderance of high-risk histological subtypes and a poor prognosis. Most of the uterine sarcomas occurred following radiation therapy for cervical carcinoma are carcinosarcomas and the prognosis is very poor.

文摘Neuroendocrine neoplasms(NENs)are relatively rare tumors that arise from peptidergic neurons and neuroendocrine cells.NENs are highly heterogeneous and can occur in any part of the body,with a particular prevalence in the digestive system.NENs consist of a range of tumor types and the biological behaviors exhibit significant differences.NENs are classified into well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors(NETs)and poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas(NECs).NETs can be further classified and graded into the following three categories:low-grade NETs,grade 1(NET G1);intermediate-grade NET G2;and high-grade NET G3.NECs include large cell-type NEC(LCNEC)and small cell-type NEC(SCNEC),both of which are considered high grade.Currently,the main treatments for advanced NENs are biological treatments,targeted therapy,chemotherapy,and newer treatments that are still under development,such as immunotherapy and peptide receptor radionuclide therapy(PRRT).However,owing to the rarity of NENs,pharmaceutical company investment is limited and few phase Ⅲ studies have targeted advanced NENs.Most current research consists of investigator-initiated phase Ⅰ and Ⅱ clinical trials or largescale retrospective studies.NEN treatment should be chosen carefully because it is cumbersome and complicated,as indicated above.Herein,we comprehensively summarize the clinical application status and research progress for advanced NEN treatment regimens,especially for advanced NETs,which may help to create awareness on NENs among medical professionals across specialties.
文摘When microdissection testicular sperm extraction(micro-TESE)fails,a redo procedure may be the only option for patients who want a biological child.However,there are many gaps of knowledge surrounding the procedure,which need to be addressed to help clinicians and patients make informed decisions.This review explores redo micro-TESE in the context of nonobstructive azoospermia(NOA).Literature was searched using Google Scholar,Medline,and PubMed.Search terms were“NOA”AND“second microdissection testicular sperm extractions”AND“redo microdissection testicles sperm extraction”AND“repeat microdissection testicular sperm extractions”AND“failed microdissection testicular sperm extractions”AND“salvage microdissection testicular sperm extractions”.Only original articles in English were included.A total of nine articles were included,consisting of four retrospective and five prospective studies.The time gap between the first and second micro-TESE varied from 6 months to 24 months.Most of the included studies reported successful surgical sperm retrieval(SSR)in the second micro-TESE in the range of 10%–21%,except in one study where it reached 42%.It has not been presented any definitive information about the use of hormonal treatment or the benefit of varicocelectomy prior to the second micro-TESE.Patients with hypospermatogenesis and Klinefelter syndrome(KS)had the highest chance of success in redo surgery.In conclusion,redo micro-TESE following a negative procedure can lead to sperm recovery in 10%–21%.Patients with hypospermatogenesis and KS have a higher chance of success.There is no enough evidence to conclude which is the best hormonal stimulation if any before a redo surgery.

文摘BACKGROUND Recently,several endoscopic techniques have been used to improve the R0 resection rate of rectal neuroendocrine neoplasms(R-NENs).However,none of these methods can achieve 100%complete resection(CR),particularly in the vertical direction.Endoscopic full-thickness resection(EFTR)has proven to be an effective method for the treatment of submucosal tumors but is seldom utilized in the eradication of R-NENs.AIM To review cases of R-NENs removed using EFTR and to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this technique.METHODS This retrospective cohort study enrolled 160 patients with pathologically confirmed R-NENs,including 132 who underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD)and 28 who underwent EFTR.Lesions were categorized as<1 cm,1-2 cm,and>2 cm in size.CR rate,en bloc resection rate,operation time,and complications were evaluated.Subgroup analyses and follow-up were also performed.RESULTS EFTR achieved 100%CR rates for lesions<1 cm and 1-2 cm,compared with 67.0%and 50.0%,respectively,in the ESD group.En bloc resection and successful removal of the R-NENs were achieved in all patients.Meanwhile,EFTR showed performance comparable to ESD in terms of operation time,hospitalization cost,and postoperative adverse events,except for a one-day longer hospital stay.We also analyzed the invasion depth of R-NENs based on full-thickness specimens.The data showed that 80%of lesions(<1 cm)and 85.7%of lesions(1-2 cm)had invaded the SM3 level or deeper at the time of resection.For ESD specimens,46.6%(<1 cm)and 89.3%(1-2 cm)of lesions had infiltrated more than 2000μm beneath the muscularis mucosae.CONCLUSION EFTR has shown superior performance in the resection of small R-NENs compared with that of ESD.
