The incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has increased worldwide over the past two decades. Surgical resection and liver transplantation have been demonstrated as potentially curative treatment options, which could be considered in 30% -40% of HCC patients. Recent advancements of surgical treatment have focused not only on the surgical techpiques, but also the hepatic functional reserve evaluation, resectability assessment and the effects of biological characteristics of tumor on prognosis. There is no single variable to evaluate the hepatic functional reserve accurately. Combined Child-Pugh classification, ICGI5, portal vein pressure detection and remanent liver volume measurement are required prior to liver resection. The 5-year survival rate after liver resection for HCC is about 50%. The results are acceptable for some selected patients that underwent tumor resection with thrombectomy, including HCC with portal vein tumor thrombus or bile duct thrombosis. The choice of local resection or regular hepatectomy is still controversial although the former is commonly performed to treat HCC with cirrhosis, and the latter is applied to HCC patients without liver cirrhosis. The results of liver transplanta-tion for HCC are better than liver resection, and the Milan criteria is generally accepted. Any attempts to expand the selection criteria should be cautious because of organ shortage. Salvage transplantation for intrabepatic recurrence after liver resection may be a good choice in some resectable HCC. The recurrence and metastasis after surgical treatment are the main obstacles to achieve better results. Identification of predictive factors could be helpful to develop prevention strategies. Due to the importance of biological characteristics in tumor recurrence and metastasis, a molecular classification to predict prognosis of HCC patients will lead to a more personalized medicine. Targeting key molecules of biological pathways could optimize the therapeutic modality in HCC.

Primary liver cancer is the third most common cause of death from cancer worldwide, and it is the second cause of cancer death in China. A variety of molecular markers and signaling pathways associated with hepatocarcinogenesis and tumor progression have been discovered in basic research in the recent decade. However, the 5 year survival of patients has not been remarkably improved, due in a large part to the late diagnosis and the limited treatment options. It seems that translational medicine should be accelerated to addres this problem. Translational medicine has been shown to bridge basic research and clinical practice in a B2B model: from bench to the bedside and bedside to the bench. It goes from the bench to bedside where theories emerging from preclinical experimentation are tested on patients, and from bedside to the bench, where information obtained from preliminary clinical sciences is used to refine the understanding of the biological principles. In liver cancer, diagnostic markers screening, development of molecular classification, and stratifying patients for targeted therapy are considered as exciting fields of translational medicine. The integration of basic and clinical sciences by translational medicine will improve not only the understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms, but also the clinical outcomes in patients with primary liver cancer.

Cancer metastasis is considered as a complex process involving a series of sequential steps and a variety of molecalar signal transduction pathways.Tumor recurrence and metastasis are major obstacles for long-term survival of Liver cancer patients.Although the prognosis after recurrence and metastasis is dismal,the advancement of molecular researches of metastasis of liver cancer seems promising.In studies of origins of metastasis of liver cancer,the primary cancer cell and corresponding metastatic liver cancer cells share similar gene signature,which indicates that genes favoring metastasis progression are initiated in the primary tumors.The metastasis of liver cancer may be an early event in hepatic carcinogenesis and progression.Some molecular signatures have been developed to classify the metastatic potential of liver cancer.Furthermore,a variety of studies demonstrate that the tumor microenvironment instead of tumor cells plays a more important role in liver cancer metastasis.The pre-metastatic niche composed of non-tumoral cells may promote the cancer cell sedimentation and progression.The theory of cancer stem cell speculates that cancer stem cells were the real source of recurrent or metastatic tumors.Cancer stem cells will be one of the main targets of liver cancer treatment.The prevention and treatment of liver cancer recurrence or metastasis are quite difficult because liver cancer is resistant to traditional chemotherapy.Targeting the molecules involved in the metastasis of liver cancer WOuld be promising to cure those diseases.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features, therapeutic method, and prognostic factor of fibrosarcomatous dermato-fibrosarcoma protuberans (FS-DFSP). Methods: Data of 18 FS-DFSP cases treated in the Department of General Surgery, Tianjin Huanghe Hospital between June 2004 and June 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. Research indexes included age, sex, pathogenic site, number of previous unplanned surgeries, tumor size, depth, incisal margin of the last surgical procedure, chemotherapy, relapse and metastasis, and survival time. Univariate and multivariate analyses of the research indicators were conducted in these cases. Results:All 18 patients underwent surgery, and the incisal margins were R0 in 17 cases and R1 in 1 case, with local recurrence in 2 of the 18 cas-es. The patient with R1 incisal margin underwent postoperative radiotherapy. Among all the patients, 12 with tumor base depth and/or largest tumor diameter of>5 cm accepted the chemotherapy of mesna, adriamycin, ifosfamide, and dacarbazine, also known as MAID regimen, after surgery. No progression of disease occurred during chemotherapy. After chemotherapy, pulmonary metastasis occurred in 3 of the 12 cases, and pulmonary metastasis with local recurrence existed in 1 case. Two of the 3 patients with pulmonary metastasis were treated with imatinib mesylate, and the therapeutic effect stabilized the disease. Two-year survival rate was 93%, and 5-year sur-vival rate was 79%in total patients. The results of mono-factorial analysis indicated that clinical factors, such as age, sex, pathogenic site, tumor size, depth, recurrence, incisal margin of surgical operation, and chemotherapy, were unrelated to the overall survival (OS) time. The number of previous unplanned surgeries and metastasis are related to OS. The results of multiple factor analysis showed that none of the clinical factors were independent prognostic factors for OS. Conclusion:A thorough removal of tumor can reduce the recur-rence rate, which is the key point in FS-DFSP treatment. Recurrence and metastasis of tumor are significant factors affecting prognosis.

Over the past years, the incidence of lymphoma has been increasing, which has become one of the most common cancers around the world.The survival of lymphoma patients has been significantly improved due to advances of therapeutic methods such as new chemotherapy regimens, monoclonal antibodies and small molecular targeted drugs.However, the number of patients with relapsed/refractory lymphoma still account for a large proportion.It is of great significance to find new ways to treat these patients.Cellular immunotherapy could kill tumor cells by causing specific and effective antitumor immune response.Remarkable advances have been made in immunotherapy, such as adoptive immunotherapy, immune checkpoint inhibitors and immunomodulation therapy, for relapsed/refractory lymphoma patients, which will gradually open a new era in the treatment of lymphoma.
