1.Advances in the study of metastatic renal carcinoma
Chinese Journal of Urology 2021;42(4):308-311
Renal cancer is a common malignant tumor in urology, with complicated pathogenesis and no obvious clinical symptoms. Metastatic renal cancer accounts for 20%-30% of the newly diagnosed renal cancer. The 5-year survival rate for metastatic patients is less than 10%.At present, the main non-surgical treatment means of mRCC include cytokines and targeted drug therapy, and immunotherapy has also become a research hotspot of mRCC. The current status and research progress of mRCC therapy were reviewed. The medical treatment methods of metastatic renal cancer, such as receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors and mTOR inhibitors; immunotherapies, such as immunosuppressants for PD-1/PD-L1 were also discussed.

Objective:To investigate the effect of enteral nutrition support one week before surgery and postoperative periods on the postoperative immune function and nutritional status in old patients with gastric cancer. Methods:A retrospective analysis was con-ducted on 77 stomach cancer patients who were admitted and received surgical treatment in our hospital. Among the patients, 38 re-ceived enteral nutrition support one week before surgery and early period of postoperation, and were labeled as the experimental group. The remaining 39 patients did not receive enteral nutrition support one week before surgery and early period of postoperation, and were named as the control group. The levels of prealbumin, albumin, transferrin, CD4+T (%), CD8+T (%), and CD4+/CD8+cells were also an-alyzed before surgery and 1 d and 8 d after surgery. Results:No statistical differences in the gender, age, site of tumor, TNM staging, and differentiated degree were found between the two groups. All operations were successful and the patients recovered well after sur-gery. In the nutritional status, the levels of prealbumin, albumin, and transferrin in the patients of the two groups had no significant dif-ference (P>0.05). On the first day after the surgery, the levels of prealbumin, albumin, and transferrin were significantly low in both groups;the control group had lower levels than the experimental group (P<0.05). No differences in the levels of CD4+T (%), CD8+T (%), and CD4+T/CD8+T cells were found between the two groups (P>0.05). On the first day after surgery, the levels of CD4+T (%), CD8+T (%), and CD4+T/CD8+T cells were significantly low in both groups;the control group had lower levels than the experimental group (P<0.05). Conclusion:Elderly patients with gastric cancer who receive appropriate enteral nutrition support one week before sur-gery would have better immune function and nutritional status after surgery than those who did not, and the recovery of old patients im-proved.
