Objective To evaluate clinical risk factors that can predict brain metastasis after complete resection of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and to assess the role of prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) in such kind of patients.Methods Eighty-eight patients with completely resected stage Ⅰ - Ⅲ SCLC from Jan.2000 to Dec.2009 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed.Kaplan-Meier was used to compare the differences in the incidence of metastasis free survival in different groups.Logistic model was used to assess the independent risk factors for brain metastasis.Results The follow-up rate is 100％,and 37 patients were followed up for more than three years.None of the 3 patients who received PCI developed brain metastasis,while for patients without receiving PCI,24％ developed brain metastases.The incidence of brain metastasis for stage Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ SCLC after surgery were 4％,26％ and 29％ ( x2 =7.57,P =0.023),respectively.The median survival time and the 3-year survival rate were 18 months and 25％ for patients who developed brain metastasis,and 48 months and 59％ for those without brain metastasis ( x2 =10.63,P =0.001 ).Both univariate and multivariate analyses showed that pre-treatment disease stage wasindependent risk factor for brain metastasis ( x2 =7.57,8.52 ; P =0.023,0.004 ).Age,sex,tumor location,pathological type,induction chemotherapy,and postoperative chemotherapy/radiotherapy were not significantly correlated with the incidence of brain metastasis ( x2 =0.03,0.00,0.00,2.58,0.01,1.23,0.84;P =0.869,0.998,0.992,0.109,0.936,0.266,0.361,respectively).Conclusions Pre-treatment disease stage was independent risk factor for brain metastasis in SCLC.PCI may be important for stage Ⅱ -Ⅲ SCLC but not for stage Ⅰ disease.<英文关键词>=Carcinoma,small cell lung/surgery; Neoplasm metastasis,brain/prophylactic irradiation; Factors analysis

ObjectiveTo investigate the effectiveness and toxicity of CyberKnife in the treatment of lung metastases.MethodsTreatment details and outcomes were reviewed for 93 targets of 48 histologically verified patients treated by CyberKnife at the CyberKnife Center of Tianjin between September 2006 and June 2010.The median tumor volume was 6.0(0.2 - 135.2) cm3,the median biological equivalent dose was 140.8(53 - 180) cGy (α/β =10),the median fraction was 3(1-7) times and the median isodose line was 81％ (71％-91％ ).ResultsThe rate of follow-up is 96％.33 cases were followed up for more than 2years.The effective rate was 90.3％.Two targets of 2 patients locally progressed.The 1-and 2-year local control rates,overall survival (OS) rates and progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 98％ and 98％,83％ and 63％,and 64％ and 37％,respectively.Univariate analyses showed that age older than 60 versus ≤60 years tended to be predictor for PFS ( x2 =3.45,P =0.063 ) ;The PFS of patients who had single lesion was better than patients with multiple lesions ( x2 =4.49,P =0.034 ) ; patients with disease-free interval longer than 18 months had better OS ( x2 =6.50,P =0.011 ).Five patients were reported to experience treatment-related grade 1 radiation pulmonary injury,and one each for subcutaneous fibrosis with pigmentation,grade 2 and grade 3 adverse event.ConclusionsFor patients with lung metastatic lesion,CyberKnife is an effective option with high local control rate and little acute reaction.The long-term outcome and toxicity need further study.

Objective To explore the effects of the health education model based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) on the quality of life and sexual life in patients with cervical cancer six months after the surgery.Methods Totally 60 patients with cervical cancer who were treated and received surgery in the First Maternity and Infant Hospital Affiliated to Tongji University from March 2016 to April 2017 were selected by convenient sampling, and equally divided into a control group and a treatment group according to the random number table. Patients in the control group received routine health education after the surgery, while patients in the treatment group received the health education based on TPB. The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Cervix (FACT-Cx) and the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) were used to observe the difference in the quality of life and sexual life between the patients in the two groups six months after the surgery.Results The total scores in all dimensions of FACT-Cx of the patients in the treatment group six months after the surgery was higher than that of the patients in the control group(P<0.05). In FSFI, the scores in dyspareunia and sexual satisfaction of the patients in the treatment group were higher than those of the patients in the control group (P<0.05).Conclusions The health education model based on TPB can effectively improve the quality of life and sexual life in patients with cervical cancer six months after the surgery, thus worthy of clinical application.
