1.Clinical characteristics and treatment progress of triple-negative breast cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2013;(1):25-28
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a subtype of breast cancers which have exclusive pathological and molecular biological characteristics.TNBC's chief feature is early recurrence,rapidly progressive and poor prognosis.Operation,chemotherapy and radiotherapy are the major therapies for TNBC.In recent years,with the developing of the research,new chemotherapeutic drugs and targeted therapies are applied to clinical therapy gradually.

Cancer Research and Clinic 2012;24(4):232-234
Objective To investigate the correlation between the expression of p170、GST-π 、TOPO Ⅱ and the expression of Her-2 in human breast cancer. Methods The expression of Her-2 was detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization.The expression of p170,GST-π,TOPO Ⅱ were tested in 48 breast cancer by immunohistochemical SP method,and their correlations with clinicopathological features and the expression of Her-2 were analyzed.Results The positive rate of p170,GST-π,TOPO Ⅱ were 43.8 %(21/48),39.6 %(19/48),56.3 %(27/48),respectively. The expression of p170, GST-π,TOPO Ⅱ positively correlated with the expression of Her-2(P< 0.05).The levels of p170,GST-π,TOPO Ⅱ expression were not associated with age,primary tumor and lymph node metastasis(P > 0.05).Conclusion There is great possibility of chemotherapy drug resistance in breast cancer with expression of Her-2.Expressions of p170,GST-π,TOPO Ⅱ and Her-2 have an instructive significance for chemotherapy.

Objective: To investigate the effect of helper T cells (Th1 and Th2) and its important significance in judging prognosis of patients with advanced lung cancer. Methods: Interferon-? (INF-?) and interleukin-4 (IL-4) in plasma and pleural effusion were detected by enzyme-linked immunoassay in patients with advanced lung cancer, IFN-? and IL-4 reflected activity of Thl and Th2 respectively. Results: The activity of Th1 in patients with advanced lung cancer was lower than that in normal persons in peripheral blood. For non-outstanding curative effect or progressive state of illness, the activity of Thl in patients of above 1 year survival time decreased in post-treatment than in pretreatment, the activity of Th2 increased in post-treatment. Conclusion: Activity of Helper T cells ( Th1, Th2 ) could be an important marker to diagnose lung cancer and judge prognosis in patients with advanced lung cancer.

Objective To analyze the expressions of thymidine kinase 1 (TK1) and nuclear-associated antigen Ki-67 in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) and their clinical significances.Methods One hundred and twenty tumor tissue sections of patients with breast cancer who were performed breast conservation treatment or modified mastectomy in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University Medical College from June 2009 to December 2010 were collected,and there were 60 cases with TNBC and 60 cases with non-TNBC.The expressions of TK1 and Ki-67 in different breast tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry.The relationships between the expression status and clinicopathologic features were analyzed.Results The positive expression rates of TK1 in TNBC and non-TNBC were 83.33% and 51.67% respectively,with a significant difference (x2 =13.713,P =0.000).The positive expression rates of Ki-67 expression in TNBC and nonTNBC were 68.33% and 31.67% respectively,with a significant difference (x2=16.133,P =0.000).In TNBC,the expression of TK1 was related to histological staging (x2 =6.125,P =0.013),but it was not related to onset age (x2 =0.809,P =0.369),menopausal stutas (x2 =1.615,P =0.204),tumor size (x2 =0.054,P =0.816) and lymphatic metastasis (x2 =0.672,P =0.412).In TNBC,the expression of Ki-67 was related to histological staging (x2 =13.145,P =0.000) and lymphatic metastasis (x2 =6.182,P =0.013),but it was not related to menopausal stutas (x2 =1.018,P =0.313),onset age (x2 =2.377,P =0.123) and tumor size (x2 =2.401,P =0.121).The expression of TK1 was positively correlated with that of Ki-67 (r =0.369,P =0.023).The results of survival analysis showed that the disease-free survival rates of 5-year were 28.20% and 66.70% in the TK1 positive group and TK1 negative group,and the disease-free survival rates of 5-year were 24.30% and 64.30% in the Ki-67 positive group and Ki-67 negative group,with significant differences (x2 =4.194,P=0.041;x2 =4.540,P =0.033).Conclusion TK1 and Ki-67 are highly expressed in TNBC,and their expressions are correlated with histological staging and survival,which are expected to become prognostic indicators.

Objective To investigate the effect of 18F-fluoro-deoxy-2-glucose hybrid positron emission tomography images combined CT image(I8F-FDG PET-CT) on gross target volumes in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods Forty six patients with pathological defined NSCLC were included in the study. All patients were divided into three groups according to image features; lymphatic metastasis group(18 cases) , ate-lectasis group( 16 cases) , solitary focus group(12 cases). The gross target volumes by CT and by PET-CT (GTVct and GTVPET_CT)were compared with volume differentials and coherence. We also compared the coherence among the three groups. Results The median GTVCT and median GTVPET-CT of atelectasis group was 160.813 cm3 and 108.838 cm3(t = 13.592,P<0.05). The median GTVCT and median GTVPET-CT of lymphatic metastasis group was 65.233 cm3 and 84. 367cm3 (t = 2. 768, P < 0.05 ). In the solitary focus group , median GTVCT was 21.7 cm3,and median GTVPET-CT was 19.6 cm3 (t =0. 684,P >0.05). There was statistic difference in coherence among the three groups (lymphatic metastasis group 0.561, atelectasis group 0. 698, solitary focus group 0.740). Conclusion There are varying degrees of difference between GTVCT and GTVPET-CT in both volume differentials and coherence . Compared to CT, PET-CT could improve the accuracy of radio-therapy. Patients with lymphatic metastasis would most likely benefit from it.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of task-driven teaching mode on physical therapy teaching in higher vocational education. Methods40 students in 2006 rehabilitation class were taught with routine mode as the control group, while 35 students in 2007 rehabilitation class taught with task-driven mode and routine mode as experimental group.

0.05). Conclusions For patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer, concurrent conformal radiotherapy and chemotherapy followed by consolidation chemotherapy can improve the progression-free survival, but have few effects on overall survival and toxicity. Multicenter clinical trial with more patients should be carried out to confirm the benefit from the additional consolidation chemotherapy.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and the side-effects of concurrent chemoradiotherapy combined with consolidation or induction chemotherapy for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods64 patients with stage ⅢA and ⅢB NSCLC were divided randomly into the CCT group(concurrent chemoradiotherapy followed by consolidation chemotherapy) and the ICT group(induction chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy).All patients were deliverd to thoracic planning target with total dose of 54~66Gy(median dose 60Gy)in 6~7 weeks.CCT group started to irradiate by conformal radiotherapy technique on day 1,and ICT started on day 43 with single fraction dose 200 cGy and 5 fractions every week.ResultsThe response rate in CCT and ICT group was 60.0% and 58.8% respectively(P=0.924),with no statistic significance between the CCT and ICT group.The side-effects were mainly granulo-cytopernia,radiation espohagitis and radiation pneumonitis.ConclusionConcurrent chemoradiotherapy combined with consolidation or induction chemotherapy for locally advanced NSCLC is well tolerated.The sequence of adjuvant chemothreapy to concurrent chemoradiotherapy produced no significant difference for NSCLC in recent response.
