Objective To analyze the long?term efficacy of intensity?modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) with or without chemotherapy in treatment of 454 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and its influencing factors. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 454 patients with non?metastatic NPC who received IMRT with or without chemotherapy in our center from 2007 to 2012. Prescribed doses of 69. 96?73. 92 Gy in 33 fractions, 69. 96 Gy in 33 fractions, 60. 06 Gy in 33 fractions, and 50. 96 Gy in 28 fractions were applied to nasopharyngeal gross tumor volume, cervical metastatic lymph nodes, high?risk drainage area, and low?risk drainage area, respectively. In all patients, 438 received induction chemotherapy, 420 concurrent chemotherapy, and 216 adjuvant chemotherapy, most of which were based on cisplatin and taxol. The Kaplan?Meier method was used for calculating survival rates and the log?rank test was used for survival difference analysis and univariate prognostic analysis. The Cox model was used for the multivariate prognostic analysis. Results The 3?year sample size was 210. The 3?year overall survival ( OS ) , local recurrence?free survival, nodal relapse?free survival, progression?free survival, and distant metastasis?free survival ( DMFS) rates were 88. 1%, 91. 0%, 90. 7%, 80. 5%, and 85. 1%, respectively. Age, T stage, and N stage were influencing factors for the OS rate ( P=0. 011;P=0. 005;P=0. 033);T stage and N stage were influencing factors for the disease progression?free survival ( P=0. 017;P=0. 005) and DMFS ( P=0. 012;P=0. 019) . The grade≥3 acute and late adverse reactions included hematological toxicity , oral mucositis , xerostomia , dysphagia , and brain injury . Conclusions IMRT promotes the long?term survival rates in patients with NPC. The distant metastasis is the major reason for treatment failure. The adverse reactions induced by IMRT combined with chemotherapy are tolerable.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the differences between clinicopathological features and prognosis of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) negative (AFP < 20 ng/ml) and positive (AFP ≥ 20 ng/ml) hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients.
METHODSClinicopathological data of 142 AFP-negative and 109 AFP-positive HCC patients who underwent RO radical hepatectomy in the Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences between January 2006 and December 2011 were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed in this study.
RESULTSCompared with the AFP-negative patients, a higher female to male sex ratio, the later Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer ( BCLC) stage, more liver capsule invasion and poorer Edmondson-Steiner grade were in the AFP-positive cases (P < 0.05 for all). Furthermore, the 1-, 3-, and 5- year overall survival rates were 94.4%, 82.4% and 61.0% in the AFP-negative group and 87.2%, 61.1% and 40.2%, respectively, in the AFP-positive group (P < 0.001). The multivariate analysis with Cox's proportional hazards model showed that AFP status, tumor size and Edmondson-Steiner grade are independent risk factors for survival of all the patients (P < 0.05) , and large tumor and Edmondson-Steiner grades III/IV are independent risk factors for worse survival in AFP-negative patients (P < 0.05). However, large tumor diameter was proved to be an independent risk factor leading to poor prognosis of AFP-positive cases (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONHigh levels of AFP indicate that the tumors are more malignant and with unfavorable prognosis.

Nasal cancer has not been included in the current list of legal occupational diseases in China. There is also a lack of systematic and in-depth study on the relationship between nasal cancer and occupational exposure factors in China. In September 2018, the department for work and pensions of UK released the latest edition of the "List of diseases covered by industrial injuries disablement benefit", which lists nasal cancer and nasopharyngeal carcinoma associated with wood dust exposure on the UK's occupational disease list. In order to better protect the health of workers, the relationship between occupational wood dust exposure and nasal cancer is reviewed, which provides a reference for further revision and improvement of occupational disease catalogue.

OBJECTIVETo compare the short-term efficacy and observe the tolerability and safety of recombinant human endostatin combined with induction chemotherapy followed by chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
METHODSFifty-three patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma, who received recombinant human endostatin combined with induction chemotherapy followed by chemoradiotherapy, treated in our department from December 2011 to March 2013 were included in the study group of this study. Another 48 patients, who received induction chemotherapy followed by chemoradiotherapy alone in the same period, were chosen as a control group. The short-term outcome, overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and acute side effects of the two groups were compared.
RESULTSThe complete remission rates of nasopharyngeal tumor in the study and control groups were 77.4% and 72.9%, respectively (P=0.154). The complete remission rates of patients with and without cervical lymph node metastasis were 75.5% and 62.6%, respectively, showing a significant difference (P=0.037). The 2-year OS, PFS, and DMFS rates for the study group were 82.3%, 77.2%, and 82.2%, respectively, versus 87.2%, 84.3% and 84.2% for the control group, showing a non-significant differences between the two groups (P=0.938, P=0.551, and P=0.725).
CONCLUSIONSThe short-term results of recombinant human endostatin (Endostar) combined with induction chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy in the treatment of locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma are slightly better than that of induction chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy alone, with tolerable treatment-related toxicity and no more side effects.

OBJECTIVER0 resection, Pringle maneuver, intraoperative massive blood loss and perioperative blood transfusion have been definitely recognized to be surgery-related risk factors of recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in recent years. The aim of this study was to investigate the post-operative risk factors of recurrence of HCC after control of the above mentioned risk factors.
METHODS288 consecutive HCC patients underwent hepatectomy with selective regional vascular occlusion by the same surgical team. All patients had R0 resection, less than 800 ml blood loss and had no perioperative blood transfusion. The clinical and pathological factors were retrospectively analyzed.
RESULTSThe total 1-year, 3-year and 5-year disease-free survival rate (DFS) was 74.9%, 49.3% and 34.3%, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that serum gamma-glutamyl-transferase rise >55 U/L, AFP > 400 ng/ml, tumor diameter >5 cm, multi-focal lesions, satellite nodules, poor differentiation, microvascular invasion, envelope invasion, postoperative liver insufficiency, preoperative TACE and postoperative TACE were significantly associated with poor DFS. Multivariate Cox analyses revealed that tumor size, satellite nodules, poor differentiation, microvascular invasion and postoperative liver insufficiency were independent prognostic predictors associated with shorter DFS. According to the results of multivariate Cox analysis of 158 cases with at least one risk factor selected from the whole group, further analysis demonstrated that perioperative TACE was not significantly associated with the median DFS (P > 0.05 for all).
CONCLUSIONSSelective regional vascular occlusion may effectively control the surgiury-related risk factors of recurrence of HCC. Tumor features are the main affecting factors of DFS. Preoperative or postoperative TACE do not benefit patients who received curative resection.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate preliminarily the clinical efficacy of two types of hepatic inflow occlusion in hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
METHODSA total of 54 patients with HCC who underwent hepatectomy were divided into two groups: RIP group (regional ischemic preconditioning with continuous clamping, n=15) and HHV group (hemi-hepatic vascular inflow occlusion, n=39). HHV was performed by placing a clamp on the right hepatic artery and right portal vein, and was maintained until the liver resection was completed. In the RIP group, HHV was preceded by a 5-min period of ischemia followed by 5 min of reperfusion. The clinical indicators of the two groups were compared.
RESULTSThe volume of intraoperative blood loss had significant difference between the two groups (P=0.039). One case (6.7%) in the RIP group and 17 cases (43.6%) in the HHV group received postoperative blood transfusion, showing a significant difference (P=0.010). No postoperative 30-day mortality happened in all patients. No significant differences were found between the two groups in hospital stay or postoperative morbidity, including hepatic insufficiency, infection, ascites, pleural effusion, cardiopulmonary complications and intestinal ventilation time (P>0.05 for all).The RIP group had a significantly higher PTA level at postoperative days 3 and 5 (P<0.001). Although no significant differences were found between the two groups regarding total bilirubin, albumin, prealbumin and aminotransferase (P>0.05) during any postoperative stage, the ALT recovered to normal level in 5 patients (33.3%) of the RIP group and only in one case (2.7%) of the HHV group, with a significant difference between the two groups (P=0.006).
CONCLUSIONThe results of this study indicate that regional ischemic preconditioning may have better hemostatic effect on hepatectomy, can reduce postoperative blood transfusion and promote early recovery of liver function than hemi-hepatic vascular inflow occlusion.

OBJECTIVETo explore the surgical risk, perioperative outcome and the response of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after preoperative transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE).
METHODSA retrospective case-matched study was conducted to compare the characteristics and corresponding measures of patients in the preoperative TACE group and the control group without TACE. A total of 105 patients (82 patients with selective and dynamic region-specific vascular occlusion to perform hepatectomy for patients with complex hepatocellular carcinoma) was included in this study, in which 35 patients underwent TACE therapy, and a 1:2 matched control group of 70 subjects.
RESULTSThe patients of preoperative TACE therapy group had a higher level of γ-glutamyl transpeptidase before operation (119.52±98.83) U/L vs. (67.39±61.25) U/L (P=0.040). The operation time was longer in the TACE group than that in the control group but with a non-significant difference (232.60±95.43) min vs. (218.70±75.13) min (P=0.052). The postoperative recovery of liver function and severe complications in the preoperative TACE group were similar to that in the control group (P>0.05). There were no massive hemorrhage, biliary fistula and 30-d death neither in the treatment group and matched control group.
CONCLUSIONSPreoperative TACE therapy has certain negative effect on liver function. It is preferable to use selective and dynamic region-specific vascular occlusion technique during hepatectomy and combine with reasonable perioperative treatment for this group of patients, that can ensure safety of patients and promote their rapid recovery.
