In January 2025,American Cancer Society released the latest cancer statistics,projecting approximately 2 041 910 new cancer cases and 618 120 cancer-related deaths in the United States(U.S.).The cancer mortality rate in the U.S.continues to decline,with a reversal in gender disparities and an increasing cancer burden among middle-aged and young populations.Significant differences in incidence and mortality rates are attributed to variations in population characteristics,intervention screening measures,healthcare accessibility,and policy factors across different regions and populations within the U.S.Compared with the U.S.,the cancer spectrum in China is different,and the incidence rates of lung cancer and breast cancer are rapidly rising among young women,with an average annual growth rate exceeding 3%.Infection-related cancer incidence rates are relatively high,with the incidence of gastric cancer,liver cancer and cervix cancer in China being 25.4/105,26.0/105 and 21.8/105 in 2022 respectively,surpassing U.S.incidence levels.Alarmingly,the cumulative HPV vaccination coverage among eligible Chinese women during 2018-2020 was merely 2.24%,reflecting dual barriers of low screening compliance and inadequate prevention infrastructure.There is a need to further enhance primary cancer prevention and comprehensive risk factor control,prioritize cancer prevention strategies for young and female populations,formulate population-tailored prioritized prevention frameworks and strengthen multi-stakeholder financing mechanisms for personalized screening programs,with the aim of achieving the"Healthy China 2030"cancer prevention and control goals and contributing China's approach to global cancer governance.

Objective:To study the efficacy and safety of anlotinib in the treatment of advanced radioactive iodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (RAIR-DTC) and the effect of anlotinib on iodine uptake of lesions.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 23 patients (10 males and 13 females, age (59.1±8.7) years) with advanced RAIR-DTC who were treated with anlotinib in Liaocheng Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University between January 2019 and February 2023 and met the enrollment criteria. Thyroid function, serum thyroglobulin (Tg) and Tg antibody (TgAb) were determined every 6 weeks during the treatment with anlotinib, and maximum diameter of target lesion (TL) was monitored by CT every 12 weeks, in order to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy, and treatment-related adverse reactions were observed. Diagnostic 131I whole body scan (Dx-WBS) was performed in some patients to evaluate the changes in iodine uptake of lesions after anlotinib treatment. In this study, the posttreatment changes of patients within 24 weeks during the treatment were analyzed. The maximum diameter of TL and Tg at different time points were compared by Friedman test, and were further compared in pairs with P values corrected by Bonferroni method. Results:After 24 weeks of treatment with anlotinib, 8 of 23 patients achieved partial response, 15 had stable disease, and no patients achieved complete response. Serum Tg levels at 6, 12, 18, 24 weeks after anlotinib treatment were 189.5(85.0, 483.3), 127.7(52.4, 319.8), 82.0(40.2, 213.5) and 80.1(39.9, 205.0) μg/L, all of which were lower than the baseline level of Tg (384.5(210.9, 1 605.0) μg/L; χ2 values: 4.23-7.86, all P<0.001). Tg level at 18 weeks after treatment was statistically different from that at 12 weeks after treatment ( χ2 =3.06, P<0.001), but was not statistically different from that at 24 weeks after treatment ( χ2 =12.57, P=0.059). The maximum TL diameters of lung and cervical lymph nodes were significantly reduced at week 12 and 24 of anlotinib treatment compared with baseline ( χ2 values: 14.76-31.12, all P<0.001), while there was no significant difference in TL maximum diameter at 12 and 24 weeks of treatment ( χ2 values: 5.65, 9.02, P values: 0.314, 0.070). Common adverse reactions included hypertension, hand-foot syndrome, hyperacylglyceremia and proteinuria. No adverse reactions above grade 4 or death related to adverse reactions occurred. Dx-WBS evaluation was performed in 7 patients after anlotinib treatment, and no change in iodine uptake was found. Conclusions:Anlotinib has a clear effect on advanced RAIR-DTC with less adverse reactions. The efficacy of anlotinib reaches the strongest at around 12-18 weeks and becomes stable at 24 weeks. No effect of anlotinib on inducing redifferentiation of RAIR-DTC cells and enhancing iodine uptake is found.

With the increasing proportion of human papilloma virus(HPV)infection in the pathogenic factors of oro-pharyngeal cancer,a series of changes have occurred in the surgical treatment.While the treatment mode has been im-proved,there are still many problems,including the inconsistency between diagnosis and treatment modes,the lack of popularization of reconstruction technology,the imperfect post-treatment rehabilitation system,and the lack of effective preventive measures.Especially in terms of treatment mode for early oropharyngeal cancer,there is no unified conclu-sion whether it is surgery alone or radiotherapy alone,and whether robotic minimally invasive surgery has better func-tional protection than radiotherapy.For advanced oropharyngeal cancer,there is greater controversy over the treatment mode.It is still unclear whether to adopt a non-surgical treatment mode of synchronous chemoradiotherapy or induction chemotherapy combined with synchronous chemoradiotherapy,or a treatment mode of surgery combined with postopera-tive chemoradiotherapy.In order to standardize the surgical treatment of oropharyngeal cancer in China and clarify the indications for surgical treatment of oropharyngeal cancer,this expert consensus,based on the characteristics and treat-ment status of oropharyngeal cancer in China and combined with the international latest theories and practices,forms consensus opinions in multiple aspects of preoperative evaluation,surgical indication determination,primary tumor re-section,neck lymph node dissection,postoperative defect repair,postoperative complication management prognosis and follow-up of oropharyngeal cancer patients.The key points include:① Before the treatment of oropharyngeal cancer,the expression of P16 protein should be detected to clarify HPV status;② Perform enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the maxillofacial region before surgery to evaluate the invasion of oropharyngeal cancer and guide precise surgical resec-tion of oropharyngeal cancer.Evaluating mouth opening and airway status is crucial for surgical approach decisions and postoperative risk prediction;③ For oropharyngeal cancer patients who have to undergo major surgery and cannot eat for one to two months,it is recommended to undergo percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy before surgery to effectively improve their nutritional intake during treatment;④ Early-stage oropharyngeal cancer patients may opt for either sur-gery alone or radiation therapy alone.For intermediate and advanced stages,HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer general-ly prioritizes radiation therapy,with concurrent chemotherapy considered based on tumor staging.Surgical treatment is recommended as the first choice for HPV unrelated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma(including primary and re-current)and recurrent HPV related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma after radiotherapy and chemotherapy;⑤ For primary exogenous T1-2 oropharyngeal cancer,direct surgery through the oral approach or da Vinci robotic sur-gery is preferred.For T3-4 patients with advanced oropharyngeal cancer,it is recommended to use temporary mandibu-lectomy approach and lateral pharyngotomy approach for surgery as appropriate;⑥ For cT1-2N0 oropharyngeal cancer patients with tumor invasion depth＞3 mm and cT3-4N0 HPV unrelated oropharyngeal cancer patients,selective neck dissection of levels ⅠB to Ⅳ is recommended.For cN+HPV unrelated oropharyngeal cancer patients,therapeutic neck dissection in regions Ⅰ-Ⅴ is advised;⑦ If PET-CT scan at 12 or more weeks after completion of radiation shows intense FDG uptake in any node,or imaging suggests continuous enlargement of lymph nodes,the patient should undergo neck dissection;⑧ For patients with suspected extracapsular invasion preoperatively,lymph node dissection should include removal of surrounding muscle and adipose connective tissue;⑨ The reconstruction of oropharyngeal cancer defects should follow the principle of reconstruction steps,with priority given to adjacent flaps,followed by distal pedicled flaps,and finally free flaps.The anterolateral thigh flap with abundant tissue can be used as the preferred flap for large-scale postoperative defects.

Background and purpose:Follow-up data of 6 737 patients undergoing surgery for gastric cancer were collected based on hospital registration,and the 1-,3-and 5-years observed overall survival(OS)rates and disease-free survival(DFS)rates were analyzed to provide real-world research evidence for the prevention and control of gastric cancer and policy making in China.Methods:A total of 6 737 gastric cancer patients who underwent surgical treatment at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer center from 2015 to 2020 were included in this study.Clinical information and the follow-up endpoint data were collected through medical records review,telephone visits and death registry data linkage.The last follow-up date was November 30,2023.Kaplan-Meier method was applied in evaluating the 1-,3-and 5-year OS rate and DFS rate,and survival data were described by different subgroups including age group,gender,treatment period,tumor staging,and pathological characteristics.Results:With a median follow-up time of 50.99 months,the 5-year OS rate of surgically resected gastric cancer patients was 70.37%,and 5-year DFS rate in Ⅰ-Ⅲ stage cases was 69.46%.The 5-year OS rates of stage Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ were 94.32%,82.56%,51.01%and 23.97%,respectively.The differences in survival among patients with different age,tumor location,gross classification,Borrmann classification and Laurence classification were significant.Conclusion:Staging is an important factor directly affecting the survival of gastric cancer patients.Screening and early diagnosis and treatment in large population,especially high-risk group,should be strengthened to further improve the patients'survival.

Objective To investigate the effect of targeting TRIM63 in regulating oxidative stress pathways and im-proving blood-brain barrier injury and neurological recovery after acute stroke.Methods Adult male C57 mice were ran-domly divided into Sham group,Vehicle group,and Myomed-205 group,and a mouse model of transient middle cerebral artery occlusion(tMCAO)was constructed.After removal of the suture,the mice in the Myomed-205 group and the Ve-hicle group were given intraperitoneal injection of TRIM63 inhibitor,and those in the Sham group were given intraperito-neal injection of an equal volume of solvent.On day 3 of reperfusion,TTC staining was used to observe cerebral infarct vol-ume,neurological score was used to evaluate neurological recovery,and the dry-wet weight method was used to measure brain water content.Reactive oxygen species(ROS),superoxide dismutase(SOD),glutathione(GSH),and malondial-dehyde(MDA)kits were used to measure the content of oxidative stress indices in brain.The Evans Blue method was used to observe blood-brain barrier injury,and Western blotting was used to measure the protein expression levels of ZO-1 and Occludin.Results Compared with the Vehicle group,the Myomed-205 group had a significant reduction in cerebral infarct volume(P<0.05),and compared with the control group,the 100 mg/ml Myomed-205 treatment group had signifi-cant reductions in neurological score(P<0.05)and brain water content(P<0.05).Compared with the Vehicle group,the Myomed-205 group had a significant reduction in the number of ROS-positive cells on days 3,7,and 14 after stroke(P<0.05),and compared with the control group,the Myomed-205 group had a significant reduction in the expression level of the pro-oxidative stress index MDA(P<0.05)and significant increases in the expression levels of the antioxidant indices GSH and SOD(P<0.05).Compared with the Vehicle group,the Myomed-205 group had a significant reduction in EB leakage on days 7 and 14 after stroke(P<0.05)and significant increases in the protein expression levels of ZO-1 and Occludin(P<0.05).Conclusion Inhibition of the TRIM63 signaling pathway can promote neurological recovery after cerebral ischemic stroke in mice,which may be achieved by alleviating oxidative stress and blood-brain barrier injury.
