Objective To investigate clinical manifestations and clinical diagnosis and treatment and pathological and immunohistochemical features in gastrointestinal stromal tumors. Methods The clinical data of fifty-two cases with gastrointestinal stromal tumors were collected, whose clinical diagnosis and treat-ment and pathological features were retrospectively analyzed from January 1995 to December 2007. Results All patients received operation therapy, only forty-five cases with complete surgical resection. The immu-nohistochemical staining showed that the cases with CD117 positive accounted for 100% (52/52) and CD34 positive accounted for 88.5% (46/52). Conclusions Surgery was necessary for all patients, especially complete surgical resection. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors were poor in preoperative diagnosis, which diag-nosis was based on the immunohistochemical staining of the tumor tissue. CD117 and CD34 tumor markers may help to diagnose gastrointestinal stromal tumors.

0.05). Nausea, vomiting, alopecia, and bone marrow suppression in the combinedly chemotherapic group were more severe than in the intravenously treated group, but abdominal distension and pain were the major toxic side effect in combinedly chemotherapic group(P

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy between traditional laparoscopic surgery and laparoscopic surgery under the guidance of membrane anatomy with complete mesangectomy in the treatment of rectal cancer. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 60 patients with rectal cancer who were randomly divided into control group (n=30) and observation group (n=30) in accordance with the principle of randomization.The control group received traditional laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer, and the observation group received laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer under the guidance of membrane anatomy with complete mesangectomy.The different clinical application effects of the two groups were analyzed by comparing the general data, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and postoperative rehabilitation. Results All the 60 patients underwent the laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer.No operation-related complications, conversion to laparotomy, or perioperative death cases were reported.No statistically significant differences in age, gender, operation time, postoperative exhaust time, drainage tube removal time, or postoperative complications were found between the two groups (all P > 0.05).Compared with the control group, the observation group had significantly less intraoperative blood loss and more lymph node dissected (P < 0.05). Conclusion Laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer guided by the membrane anatomy with complete mesangectomy can completely remove the mesorectum, enlarge and clear the surgical field, reduce intraoperative bleeding, thoroughly remove lymph nodes, and improve the quality of surgery.
