Background::Clinical opportunistic screening is a cost-effective cancer screening modality. This study aimed to establish an easy-to-use diagnostic model serving as a risk stratification tool for identification of individuals with malignant gastric lesions for opportunistic screening.Methods::We developed a questionnaire-based diagnostic model using a joint dataset including two clinical cohorts from northern and southern China. The cohorts consisted of 17,360 outpatients who had undergone upper gastrointestinal endoscopic examination in endoscopic clinics. The final model was derived based on unconditional logistic regression, and predictors were selected according to the Akaike information criterion. External validation was carried out with 32,614 participants from a community-based randomized controlled trial.Results::This questionnaire-based diagnostic model for malignant gastric lesions had eight predictors, including advanced age, male gender, family history of gastric cancer, low body mass index, unexplained weight loss, consumption of leftover food, consumption of preserved food, and epigastric pain. This model showed high discriminative power in the development set with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.791 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.750–0.831). External validation of the model in the general population generated an AUC of 0.696 (95% CI: 0.570–0.822). This model showed an ideal ability for enriching prevalent malignant gastric lesions when applied to various scenarios.Conclusion::This easy-to-use questionnaire-based model for diagnosis of prevalent malignant gastric lesions may serve as an effective prescreening tool in clinical opportunistic screening for gastric cancer.

Objective:To investigate the microsurgical efficacy of large primary intracranial solitary fibrous tumor and influencing factors for its prognoses.Methods:From January 2010 to December 2022, 47 patients with large primary intracranial solitary fibrous tumor admitted to and accepted microsurgery in Department of Neurosurgery, Wuhan Central Hospital and Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, were enrolled. The clinical data, microsurgical efficacy and follow-up results of these patients were retrospectively analyzed, and influencing factors for total resection and prognoses were determined.Results:Thirty-two patients had tumor within the supratentorial region and 15 in the mandibular region, including 24 with sinus involved tumor. According to 2021 WHO Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System, 5 patients (10.6%) had grading 1, 32 (68.1%) grading 2, and 10 (21.3%) grading 3. Total resection was achieved in 31 patients (66.0%) and subtotal resection in 16 patients (34.0%). Postoperative complications, such as intraoperative hemorrhage, distant epidural hematoma and subcutaneous effusion, occurred in 7 patients (14.9%) and they were cured after secondary hematoma removal or conservative treatment; residual limb mobility disorder occurred in 3 patients, visual impairment in 3, and postoperative seizures in 2. Adjuvant radiotherapy was performed in 13 patients (27.7%). Follow-up was performed for (69.1±29.6) months and 29 patients (61.7%) had recurrent tumors (6 with intracranial and extracranial metastases and 4 deaths). Mean progression-free survival was (57.5±25.1) months; the 1-, 3-, and 5-year progression-free survival rates were 95.7%, 87.2%, and 59.6%, respectively. Sinus involvement was the independent influencing factor for total tumor resection; and total resection was an independent protective factor for progression-free survival for large primary intracranial solitary fibrous tumor ( HR=4.291, 95% CI: 1.555-11.838, P=0.005). Conclusion:Patients with large primary intracranial solitary fibrous tumor have a high recurrent risk after surgery; and gross-total resection should be strived to prevent tumor recurrence.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the treatment status of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) in newly diagnosed patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in China.Methods:Data of chronic phase (CP) and accelerated phase (AP) CML patients diagnosed from January 2006 to December 2022 from 77 centers, ≥18 years old, and receiving initial imatinib, nilotinib, dasatinib or flumatinib-therapy within 6 months after diagnosis in China with complete data were retrospectively interrogated. The choice of initial TKI, current TKI medications, treatment switch and reasons, treatment responses and outcomes as well as the variables associated with them were analyzed.Results:6 893 patients in CP ( n=6 453, 93.6%) or AP ( n=440, 6.4%) receiving initial imatinib ( n=4 906, 71.2%), nilotinib ( n=1 157, 16.8%), dasatinib ( n=298, 4.3%) or flumatinib ( n=532, 7.2%) -therapy. With the median follow-up of 43 ( IQR 22-75) months, 1 581 (22.9%) patients switched TKI due to resistance ( n=1 055, 15.3%), intolerance ( n=248, 3.6%), pursuit of better efficacy ( n=168, 2.4%), economic or other reasons ( n=110, 1.6%). The frequency of switching TKI in AP patients was significantly-higher than that in CP patients (44.1% vs 21.5%, P<0.001), and more AP patients switched TKI due to resistance than CP patients (75.3% vs 66.1%, P=0.011). Multi-variable analyses showed that male, lower HGB concentration and ELTS intermediate/high-risk cohort were associated with lower cytogenetic and molecular responses rate and poor outcomes in CP patients; higher WBC count and initial the second-generation TKI treatment, the higher response rates; Ph + ACA at diagnosis, poor PFS. However, Sokal intermediate/high-risk cohort was only significantly-associated with lower CCyR and MMR rates and the poor PFS. Lower HGB concentration and larger spleen size were significantly-associated with the lower cytogenetic and molecular response rates in AP patients; initial the second-generation TKI treatment, the higher treatment response rates; lower PLT count, higher blasts and Ph + ACA, poorer TFS; Ph + ACA, poorer OS. Conclusion:At present, the vast majority of newly-diagnosed CML-CP or AP patients could benefit from TKI treatment in the long term with the good treatment responses and survival outcomes.
