Cervical cancer is one of the most common gynecological malignancies, and its morbidity and mortality are among the highest. Persistent infection of high-risk types of HPV is the main reason for its onset, with types 16 and 18 being the most prevalent. Circular RNA (circRNA) is a single-stranded circular non-coding RNA formed by covalent end to end bonding of RNA precursors. It has functions such as miRNA sponge, binding RNA binding protein (RBP), and protein translation, and plays an important role in the occurrence and development of various diseases. At present, the research on circRNA in cervical cancer is still at an early stage. The latest progress of circRNA in high-risk HPV infection, occurrence and development of cervical cancer, and sensitivity to chemoradiotherapy is briefly reviewed.

Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-targeted therapy has greatly improved the prognosis of HER2-positive breast cancer. HER2-targeted therapy combined with chemotherapy dominated by trastuzumab+ pertuzumab is important in the neoadjuvant therapy, postoperative adjuvant therapy and late-stage standard treatment for HER2-positive breast cancer. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have further improved the efficacy of therapy. However, advanced breast cancer will eventually get a recurrence or drug resistance. HER2-positive breast cancer is characterized by moderate immunogenicity with the presence of large tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), which provides a theoretical basis for immunotherapy. The application of HER2-targeted cancer vaccines and immune checkpoint inhibitors is promising and would offer more treatment options for the patients.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the methodology and reporting quality of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening guidelines/consensus and provide lights for drafting CRC screening guidelines in China.Methods:The literature retrieval for all the Chinese and English guidelines published before September 1 st, 2020 was conducted by using Chinese/English databases, such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, VIP, SinoMed, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Guideline International Network, and supplement with the official website of multiple regions, such as the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and American Cancer Society. We utilized The Appraisal of Guidelines for Research & Evaluation Ⅱ (AGREE Ⅱ) and Reporting Items for Practice Guidelines in Healthcare (RIGHT) approaches to assess the quality of CRC screening guidelines/consensus comprehensively. Results:After quality control, a total of 19 guidelines/consensus released by the United States, China, Australia, Canada, Britain, South Korea, and International organizations are successfully included, and strikingly, most of those belong to the United State(7). The results of the AGREE Ⅱ quality evaluation show that the average scores of scope and purpose (87.5%) and clarity of presentation (89.6%) are high. In contrast, there are deficient in stakeholder involvement (47.0%), the rigor of development (42.3%), applicability (47.5%), and editorial independence (50.2%). Among all the guidelines, there are 12 with an overall score of 50 or more, 13 with a recommendation level of "A", 2 with a rating of "B" and 4 with a rating of "C". Additionally, the RIGHT evaluation revealed that the average report rate in each field is necessary information (76.3%), background (77.0%), evidence (55.8%), recommendations (59.4%), review and quality assurance (26.3%), funding and declaration and management of interests (43.4%), other information (49.1%). Among all the guidelines, six have good reporting quality, whereas the additional 13 have general or weak evidence. Furthermore, subgroup analysis indicates that the quality of guidelines in developed countries is superior to that of China.Conclusion:The number of CRC screening guidelines/consensus is increasing gradually, and the overall quality of those is high, but the normative nature is warranted to be strengthened.

Objective To investigate the value of preoperative platelet count (Plt) in predicting prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after hepatectomy. Methods Clinical data of 399 patients who underwent hepatic resection for HCC in Department of Hepatobiliary Oncology, Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center from January 1987 to December 1994 were analyzed retrospectively. The informed consents of all patients were obtained and the ethics committee approval was received. Of the 399 patients, 356 cases were male, and 43 cases were female with age ranging from 21 to 78 years old and a median age of 48 years old. The relations between preoperative Plt and patients' gender, age, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), alpha fetal protein (AFP), cirrhosis, tumor encapsulation, tumor diameter, tumor number, vascular invasion and histological differentiation were observed. Patients were divided into 3 groups according to the level of preoperative Plt:group 1 (<100×109/L, n=41), group 2 (100×109/L-300×109/L, n=321), group 3 (>300×109/L, n=37). Survival analysis of patients in 3 groups was conducted. The relations between preoperative Plt and clinicopathological parameters were compared using t test. Survival analysis was conducted using Kaplan-Meier method and Log-rank test. Survival prognosis was analyzed using Cox's proportional hazard model. Results Preoperative Plt was associated with HBsAg, AFP, and tumor diameter (t=2.069, 2.222,-3.911;P<0.05). The 5-, 10-, 15-year cumulative survival rates were 41.2%, 25.2%, 11.8%in group 1, 33.7%, 23.0%, 18.1%in group 2, and 11.4%, 8.6%, 5.7%in group 3 respectively. The survival rate in group 3 was signiifcantly lower than those in group 1 and group 2 (χ2=5.706, 11.361;P<0.05). Increasing preoperative Plt was an independent risk factor for postoperative prognosis. The prognosis in group 3 was poorer than those in group 1 and group 2 (HR=1.761, 1.845;P<0.05). Conclusions Increasing preoperative Plt is an independent risk factor for postoperative prognosis of patients with HCC after hepatectomy. Patients with increasing preoperative Plt have poor prognosis.
