Objective To study the time distribution of recurrence for postoperative breast cancer patients by hormone receptor status.Methods The characteristics of recurrence in 1099 breast cancer patients with different hormone receptor status undergoing surgery between December 1999 and April 2006 were analyzed retrospectively.Results For those 1099 patients the median follow-up time was 60.6 months.Recurrence was found in 171 patients.For hormone receptor-negative (HRN) patients the first peak of recurrence appeared at the 12th month and the second at about the 54th month.For hormone receptor-positive (HRP) patients the peak of recurrence appeared at the 36th month and a second peak at about the 54th month,and beyond 54 months the hazard was higher for hormone receptor-positive patients.The risk of recurrence was higher with more nodes involved.Node-positive HRP patients suffered two to three times higher risk of recurrence than node-negative HRP patients.Node-positive HRN patients had three to four times higher risk of recurrence than node-negative HRN patients.The recurrence-free survival in HRP patients was higher than that in HRN patients,also the recurrence-free survival in node-negative HRP patients was higher than that in node-positive patients (all P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions The recurrence risk for HRP breast cancer patients was higher than that in HRN patients after 54 months postoperatively.The risk of recurrence for node-positive breast cancer patients was higher than that for HRP node-negatives.

Objective To evalute the diagnosis and the availability of local excision for the duodenal papilla tumor(DPT).Methods The clinical data of 12 patients with DPT treated by local excision in recent 9 years were retrospectively analysed.In this series,jaundice presented in 100% of patients and always accompanied with abdminal pain.Results There was no operation death in this seties.The preoperative diagnostic rate by biopsy was 75.0%. Ten patients(83.3%)were followed up for 1-5 years,5 patients with benign tumor were survival well.Four patients with early stage T 1 DPT were still survival for 62,31,84and 36months, respectively.Conclusions The indications of local excision for DPT include benign papillary tumor smaller

Objective To evaluate total laparoscopic splenectomy combined with pericardial devascularization. Methods In this study,40 patients with portal hypertension and hypersplenism underwent total laparoscopic splenectomy combined with pericardial devascularization,in which 26 cases had a history of up-GI bleeding. Results Procedures were successful in 36 patients.There was four conversions to open surgery.The operations were completed in a mean time of (224 ± 54) min,with a mean estimated blood loss of (296 ± 209) ml and with no serious complication. Conclusion Total laparoscopic splenectomy combined with pericardial devascularization is a safe and effective available minimally invasive procedure in patients with portal hypertension and hypersplenism.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of baseline neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in the curative effect and prognosis of breast cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy.Methods The clinical data of 304 breast cancer patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy in Beijing Cancer Hospital during 2010 were retrospectively analyzed.The correlations of baseline NLR with clinicopathological parameters of breast cancer patients were analyzed by Wilcox or Kruskal-Wallis tests,and the correlation of NLR with pathologic complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy was analyzed by the binary logistic regression.The effect of clinic pathological parameters on the disease-free survival(DFS) of the patients was evaluated by the univariable and muhivariable Cox regression models.Results The medians of NLR in pCR + patients (n =62) and pCR-patients (n =242) were 1.76 and 1.72,respectively,and there was no significant difference between themn (P ＞ 0.05).Multivariate analysis indicated that the TNM stage (P ＜ 0.05) and pCR (P ＜ 0.05) were the independent risk factors influencing the prognosis of breast cancer patients.There was no significant correlation between NLR and 5-year DFS (HR=0.842,95％CI=0.566-1.255,P＞0.05).Condusion NLR lacks the predictive value in the curative effect and prognosis of breast cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy,while TNM stage and pCR are the independent risk factors influencing the prognosis of breast cancer patients.

Background and purpose:In preparation for using this tracer in humans, this study estimated thedosimetry of18F-FES with the method established by MIRD based on whole-body PET imaging of mice.Methods:Three female mice receivedⅣ tail injections of18F-FES and were scanned for 160 min in an Inveon dedicated PET/CT scanner. This study selected some important organs (brain, lung, liver, heart wall, small intestine, large intestine, kidney and urinary bladder), computed their residence times. Then, the residence times in mice organs were converted to human values using scale factors based on differences between organ and body weights. OLINDA/EXM 1.1 software was used to compute the absorbed human doses in multiple organs for both adult female and adult male body phantoms. Results:The highest absorbed doses in gallbladder wall, urinary bladder wall, small intestine, upper large intestine and liver are 0.072 5, 0.044 5, 0.043 0, 0.031 5 and 0.028 2 mGy/MBq, respectively. The organs which have the lowest ab-sorbed doses were brain (0.005 2 mGy/MBq), followed by skin (0.001 1 mGy/MBq), breast (0.001 1 mGy/MBq), heart wall (0.001 2 mGy/MBq) and thyroid (0.001 2 mGy/MBq). The mean absorbed doses for the other major organs ranged from 0.009 5 to 0.023 5 mGy/MBq. The total mean effective dose is 0.019 0 mSv/MBq and the mean effective doses equivalent is 0.025 0 mGy/MBq. A 370-MBq injection of18F-FES leads to an estimated effective dose of 7.03 mSv for the female. There was no statistical difference in the doses results obtained from direct measurement of18F-FES ab-sorption in normal people between previous publications by others and our work.Conclusion:The whole-body mouse imaging can be used as a preclinical tool for initial estimation of the absorbed doses of18F-FES in humans. Furthermore, the potential radiation risk associated with18F-FES imaging is well within the accepted limits.

Objective To study the effect of adjuvant chemotherapy on the survival of patients with ER ≥ 50％,HER2 negative,lymph node negative breast cancer.Methods 428 patients from Jan 1,2004 to Dec 31,2010 were enrolled.All patients received operation plus chemoendocrine therapy (CET,n =239) or endocrine therapy (ET,n =189).Result The median follow-up time was 76.5 months,with 8.2％ loss to follow-up.The recurrence-free survival (RFS) was 93.7％ in CET group and 95.2％ in ET group,the distant disease-free survival (DDFS) was 94.6％ and 97.4％ in CET and ET group respectively.Multivariate regression indicated that the risk of tumor size ＞ 2 cm was higher than that of tumor size ≤2 cm in recurrence (HR=2.31,95％ CI 1.07-5.29,P =0.047) and metastasis (HR=4.71,95％ CI 1.47-11.85,P =0.01).Compared with CET group,however,no statistical significance was found on RFS (HR =1.08,95 ％ CI 0.46-2.57,P =0.86) and DDFS (HR =0.72,95 ％ CI 0.17-1.37,P =0.55) in ET group.Conclusions Adjuvant chemotherapy cannot improve the RFS and DDFS of ER≥50％,HER2 negative,lymph node negative breast cancer.Tumor size ＞ 2 cm was the risk factor of recurrence and distant metastasis.

Objective: To explore the application value of pedicled thoracodorsal artery perforator flap in immediate partial breast reconstruction for breast cancer. Methods: This study is a prospective case series studies. Totally 128 cases of primary breast cancer patients who prepared to receive the breast-conserving surgery combine with immediate partial breast reconstruction of pedicled thoracodorsalartery perforator flap were enrolled in Breast Cancer Prevention and Treatment Center of Peking University Cancer Hospital from June 2013 to March 2016. Finally, the operations had been completed successfully in 33 eligible cases. All patients were female with a median age of 40 years (ranging from 22 to 52 years). The perforator vessel location, the donor area design, the post-operative complications, the influence of radiation and chemotherapy had been evaluated. Results: The average diameter of thoracic dorsal artery perforators measured by Doppler ultrasound before the operation was (1.5±0.4) mm (ranging from 0.6 to 2.7 mm). The average size of flaps was 15 cm×6 cm. The average time of operations was (271±72) minutes (ranging from 120 to 245 minutes). Drainage tube removed on (4.7±2.1) days after operation (ranging from 3 to 12 days). All patients received follow-up, and there was no local recurrence and distant metastasis during a median follow-up of 17(12) months (M(Q_R)) (ranging from 5 to 38 months). All TDAP flaps were survival, the wound complication rates was 6% (2/33). Conclusions The breast reconstruction of pedicled thoracodorsal artery perforator flap is a good choice of repairing local breast defect of breast conserving surgery.Its advantages are no-influence of latissimus dorsi function and little complications in donor area.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of ultrasound guided core needle biopsy (CNB) and vacuum assisted biopsy (VAB) in minor breast lesions with diameter 0.6 to 1.0 cm.Methods Totally 7 730 cases of breast lesions examined by ultrasound guided minimally invasive biopsy were enrolled in Breast Cancer Prevention and Treatment Center of Peking University Cancer Hospital from April 2014 to May 2016.254 lesions with maximum diameter 0.6 to 1.0 cm in 243 cases were analysed retrospectively (232 unilateral &11 bilateral) and divided into group CNB(152 lesions) and group VAB (102 lesions).The accuracy of pathological diagnosis and the rate of breast conserving surgery were compared between the two groups.Results There were 94 non-malignant and 58 malignant breast lesions as initially diagnosed by CNB.Among those 94 tentative non-malignant lesions,33 underwent open surgical biopsy and 4 malignancies were finally established by pathology.In group CNB,the sensitivity was 93.4％,the specific was 100％,the accuracy was 97.4％.There were 91 non-malignant and 11 malignant lesions as initially diagnosed by VAB.In those with established malignant disease,the rate of breast conserving surgery between group CNB and group VAB was statistically different (62.9％ vs.27.3％,P =0.045).Conclusions Ultrasound guided core needle biopsy and vacuum assisted biopsy are with high accuracy for small breast lesions.The rate of breast conserving surgery for breast cancer is higher in group CNB patients by the different type of minimally invasive biopsy.
