Objective To explore the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography ( CEUS ) breast predictive model in the optimization of BI-RADS classification of breast lesions . Methods A total of 1049 BI-RADS 4 ,5 breast lesions were obtained from 1039 patients in 8 centers . CEUS examination was performed prior to biopsy or surgery . According to the classification of the model ,class 3 ,4A ,4B and 4C were selected as biopsy thresholds ,and the ROC curve was drawn . The diagnostic sensitivity ,specificity , accuracy ,positive predictive value ,negative predictive value and Jordanian index were calculated for the biopsy threshold . The biopsy rate of breast lesions before and after angiography ,cancer detection rate , follow-up cases of malignant risk were compared . Results There were benign lesions 586 ( 55 .9% ) , malignant lesions 463 (44 .1% ) in the 1049 breast lesions . The area of ROC with thresholds of 3 ,4A ,4B and 4C were 0 .695 ,0 .838 ,0 .847 and 0 .757 ,respectively ( all P < 0 .01) . Ultrasonography had a certain diagnostic effect on benign and malignant breast lesions . The diagnostic sensitivity ,specificity ,accuracy , positive predictive value and negative predictive value with class 4A after CEUS set as the biopsy threshold were 93 .32% ,75 .65% ,82 .75% ,75 .57% and 93 .35% ,respectively ,and the Jordanian index was 0 .690 . When chass 3 after CEUS was set as the biopsy threshold ,the biopsy rate was reduced from 100% to 76 .74% ,the detection rate was increased from 44 .23% to 56 .77% ,and the risk of cancer was only 0 .67% in the follow-up cases . When class 4A was set as the biopsy threshold ,the biopsy rate was reduced from 100% to 55 .58% after CEUS . The detection rate of cancer increased from 44 .23% to 74 .44% . The risk of cancer was 2 .96% . Conclusions The biopsy rate of breast lesions in category 4 and 5 would be reduced and cancer detection rate of them would be increased after CEUS ,however ,the risk of malignancy in the follow -up cases would be controlled as low as category 3 and 4A in previous BI-RADS . Thus ,CEUS has a good prospect of in optimizing BI-RADS and reducing biopsy rate in unnecessary lesions .

We retrospectively analyzed the clinical characteristic of one patient with metastatic prostate cancer and the relative literatures were reviewed. A 40-year-old man was admitted and diagnosed as prostate cancer on March 20, 2018(T 4N 1M 1a) with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) at 47.99 ng/ml. The first 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT showed multiple nodular lesions in the bilateral peripheral bands of the prostate, multiple nodular lesions in the right apex, abnormal uptake of nuclides in multiple lymph nodes in the abdominal aortic wandering zone, the abdominal aortic bifurcation zone, and the bilateral iliac artery wandering zone at the level of the lumbar 2-5 vertebral body, and metastasis was considered. The patient was treated with six cycles of drug castration combined with antiandrogenic treatment and pre-operative system chemotherapy(docetaxel). Six months later, the PSA decreased to 0.225ng/ml. Robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy and expanded pelvic lymph node dissection was performed. Postoperative total androgen blocking therapy was maintained, and PSA slowly increased. Ten months after operation, salvage radiotherapy for enlarged lymph nodes was performed in pelvic extension field, prostate tumor bed area and pelvic cavity. PSA remained stable for 7 months postradiotherapy, and then increased. The patient developed castration-resistant prostate cancer and was treated with triptorelin combined with abiraterone. PSA was decreased, and local radiotherapy was performed for new lymph node metastases in the neck. 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT could provide a decision-making basis for accurate clinical staging, therapeutic effect evaluation and distant metastatic lesions location with guiding value for the formulation of individualized treatment plans.

Hormone-sensitive prostate cancer with visceral metastasis is a difficulty in clinical diagnosis and treatment. We treated a patient with hormone-sensitive prostate cancer with visceral metastasis and managed it under the multi-disciplinary treatment model (MDT). A 55-year-old man presented to the hospital complaining of increased prostate-specific antigen (PSA) found in the physical examination for 2 days. At admission, the PSA was 389.2ng/ml, and 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT showed metastatic malignant lesions of the prostate, with lymph node metastasis, lumbar vertebral metastases and liver tubercles. Transrectal prostate puncture biopsy: prostate adenocarcinoma, Gleason score of 4+ 5=9. The patient has no history of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and diagnosed as metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). Then the patient received total androgen blockade therapy (CAB regimen). After MDT discussion, metastatic prostate cancer was diagnosed based on the liver histopathology of percutaneous biopsy. After the second MDT discussion, the regimen was changed to abirone plus ADT. After 6 months, the blood PSA was controlled at a level between 0.003 to 0.006 ng/ml, and the testosterone was less than 2.5ng/dl. Re-examination of 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT showed that lower signal of radionuclide in all lesions, especially no more abnormal uptake lesions were identified in the liver.

Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) refers to the simultaneous treatment of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and the effect of radiotherapy is enhanced with low-dose chemotherapy, which can reduce tumor recurrence and metastasis and improve clinical prognosis of patients. At present, the main factors for the increase of radiosensitivity of concurrent chemotherapy is that concurrent chemotherapy prevents the repair of tumor cells, and chemotherapy and radiotherapy act on different cell cycles and have synergistic effects. However, even for patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) who have undergone CCRT, the 5-year survival rate is only 60%, which is still not ideal. In order to improve the efficacy, researchers have conducted a series of exploratory studies, which consist of the combination of targeted drugs and immunodrugs, and neoadjuvant regimens before CCRT, etc. Although targeted or immunologic drugs are effective treatment of LACC, in view of the lack of large-scale evidence-based medical evidence, multi-center prospective and randomized phase III clinical trials and high-level articles are needed to improve the level of evidence-based medicine. This consensus summarizes several key evidence-based medical studies published recently, especially the clinical research progress in targeted and immunological therapies, providing reference for domestic peers.
