Objective To explore the correlation of ultrasonographic,pathologic,and clinical findings of breast fibroadenomas.Methods 157 cases of breast fibroadenomas demonstrated by pathologic findings were examined with color Doppler ultrasound prior to biopsy.Images were classified according to ultrasound characteristics and analysed with latter pathologic findings.Results Ultrasound images of 157 cases could be divided into 6 types:uniformity( n =82),linage( n =37),bicolor( n =15),nodule-in-nodule (n =3),cyst-massity mixed ( n =9),calcify( n =11).5 cases were mistakenly judged to breast cancer on ultrasound images(1 ease in the linage,1 case in the cyst-mass mixed,3 cases in the calcify).Accurate ratio of ultrasound diagnosis was 96.82%.Pathologic finding:①Uniformity type,hyperplasia of both the gland and fibrous tissue of tumor in order.② Linage type,hyperplasia fibrous tissue in belt.③ Bicolor type,significant difference in the proportion and arrangement of the hyperplasia gland and fibrous tissue.④Nodule-in-nodule type,extensive hemorrhagic infarction in tumor.⑤Cyst-massity mixed type,hydatoncus,metaplasia in great sweat gland,hyperplasia conduit epithelial,conduit cystic-expansion.⑥ Calcify type,fibroadenomas on growth of static or regression transformation,and calcify of interstitial tissue.Conclusions Ultrasonic diagnosis and its simple typing is an accurate,simple and effective way for the diagnosis of breast fibroadenoma,which may improve the accuracy of diagnosis rate for breast fibroadenoma.It is helpful for choosing the surgical remedies.
3.Clinical research advances of apatinib in the treatment of malignancies
Chinese Journal of Clinical Oncology 2016;43(12):545-548
Antitumor drugs that target the signaling of vascular endothelial growth factor and its receptors have attracted increasing attention with the development of antiangiogenic targeted therapy. Apatinib is a second-generation vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 inhibitor and a potent antiangiogenic agent. Apatinib is one of the recent oral molecular targeted anti tumor drugs. Clinical studies have indicated that apatinib exhibits high bioavailability and a tolerable safety profile. A series of large-scale randomized and controlled clinical trials before and after the release of the drug in the market have demonstrated encouraging objective response rate and survival benefit across a broad range of malignancies, including non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer, and gastric cancer. Apa-tinib was approved and launched in China in 2014 as a subsequent-line treatment for patients with advanced gastric cancer. Apatinib is currently undergoing phase II/III clinical trials for the treatment of numerous cancer types, such as gastric carcinoma, lung cancer, he-patocellular carcinoma, esophageal cancer, and colorectal cancer. These clinical trials are conducted to determine the antitumor activi-ty of apatinib when administrated alone or in combination with other therapies. This review summarizes the latest research progress of apatinib, including antitumor mechanisms, clinical effects on different tumor types, safety profile and adverse effects, drug interac-tions, as well as drug resistance and biomarkers. This article presents a deeper understanding of the clinical application of apatinib in anti tumor treatment, and provides reference for future clinical practice in therapeutic options for cancer patients.
