Objective:To analyze the prognostic factors and the influence of surgical margin to prognosis.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed for 208 pelvic tumors who received surgical treatment from January 2000 to December 2017 in our instituition. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method and Log rank test, and impact factor analysis was performed using Cox regression models.Results:There were 183 initial patients and 25 recurrent cases. According to Enneking staging, 110 cases were stage ⅠB and 98 cases were stage ⅡB. 19 lesions were in zone Ⅰ, 1 in zone Ⅱ, 15 in zone Ⅲ, 29 in zone Ⅰ+Ⅱ, 71 in zone Ⅱ+Ⅲ, 29 in zone Ⅰ+Ⅳ, 35 in zone Ⅰ+Ⅱ+Ⅲ, 3 in zone Ⅰ+Ⅱ+Ⅳ, and 6 in zone Ⅰ+Ⅱ+Ⅲ+Ⅳ. Surgical margins including Intralesional excision in 7 cases, contaminated margin in 21 cases, marginal resection in 67 cases, and wide resection in 113 cases. Local recurrence occurred in 37 cases (17.8%), 25 cases were performed by reoperation and 12 cases received amputation finally. The 5-year recurrence rate of marginal resection was higher than wide resection ( P＜0.05), and the recurrence-free survival rate of marginal resection was lower than wide resection ( P＜0.05). There was significant differences in recurrence rate and recurrence-free survival rate between R0 and R1 resection ( P＜0.05). 92 cases were not reconstructed and 116 cases were reconstructed after pelvic surgery. At the last follow-up, 63 patients (30.3%) died, and the 5-year, 10-year and 15-year survival rates were 70.4%, 66.8% and 61.3%, respectively. The 5-year survival rate of stage ⅠB and ⅡB tumor was 90.4% and 46.8%, respectively. There were 29 cases had postoperative wound complications (13.8%), 1 case with pelvic organ injury. The final function was evaluated in 132 patients, with an average MSTS score of 25.1±3.6. Cox multivariate analysis showed that surgical staging, R0/R1 margin and metastasis were independent prognostic factors for pelvic tumors. Conclusions:The safe surgical margin is the key factor for recurrence-free of pelvic tumor. The survival rate of stage ⅡB pelvic tumors was significantly lower than that of stage ⅠB tumors. Wound infection is the main postoperative complication. Surgical staging, R0/R1 margin and metastasis were independent prognostic factors of pelvic tumors.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate short-term effectiveness and clinical application advantages of orthopedic robot-assisted resection for osteoid osteoma compared with traditional open surgery. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of 48 osteoid osteoma patients who met the selection criteria between July 2022 and April 2023. Among them, 23 patients underwent orthopedic robot-assisted resection (robot-assisted surgery group), and 25 patients received traditional open surgery (traditional surgery group). There was no significant difference ( P>0.05) in gender, age, disease duration, lesion location and size, and preoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) score, and musculoskeletal tumor society (MSTS) score between the two groups. The surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative lesion localization time, initial localization success rate, infection, and recurrence were recorded and compared. VAS scores before surgery and at 24 hours, 1, 3, 6, and 9 months after surgery and MSTS score before surgery and at 3 months after surgery were assessed. RESULTS: All patients completed the surgery successfully, with no significant difference in surgical time between the two groups ( P>0.05). Compared to the traditional surgery group, the robot-assisted surgery group had less intraoperative blood loss, shorter lesion localization time, and shorter hospitalization time, with significant differences ( P<0.05). The initial localization success rate was higher in the robot-assisted surgery group than in the traditional surgery group, but the difference between the two groups was not significant ( P>0.05). All patients in both groups were followed up, with the follow-up time of 3-12 months in the robot-assisted surgery group (median, 6 months) and 3-14 months in the traditional surgery group (median, 6 months). The postoperative MSTS scores of both groups improved significantly when compared to those before surgery ( P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in the changes in MSTS scores between the two groups ( P>0.05). The postoperative VAS scores of both groups showed a gradually decreasing trend over time ( P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between the two groups after surgery ( P>0.05). During follow-up, except for 1 case of postoperative infection in the traditional surgery group, there was no infections or recurrences in other cases. There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative infection between the two groups ( P>0.05). CONCLUSION Orthopedic robot-assisted osteoid osteoma resection achieves similar short-term effectiveness when compared to traditional open surgery, with shorter lesion localization time.

Objective:To study the efficacy of different systemic chemotherapy regimens as first-line and second-line therapy and to determine the prognostic factors for patients with advanced biliary tract cancer.Methods:The clinical data of patients with advanced biliary tract cancer who underwent systemic chemotherapy in Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from January 2011 to December 2018 were studied. The efficacy of chemotherapy on objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) were evaluated. Potential prognostic factors for survival were studied using the Cox proportional hazards models.Results:Of 151 patients enrolled into this study, there were 75 males and 76 females, with ages ranging from 31 to 77 years (median 58 years). Two treatment protocols were used: (1) 104 patients received a gemcitabine-based regimen (combined with platinums or fluorouracils) or a combination of platinums and fluorouracils, while (2) 47 patients received a combination of albumin-bound paclitaxel and S-1. The corresponding ORR for each group were 15.4%(16/104) and 27.6%(13/47), respectively, and the DCR were 65.4%(68/104) and 72.3%(34/47), respectively. Of 58 evaluable patients who received chemotherapy as a second-line therapy, 31 patients received the regimen containing gemcitabine, platinums or fluorouracils with an ORR of 3.2% (1/31) and a DCR of 35.5%(11/31); a total of 18 patients received the taxanes-based regimen with an ORR of 11.1%(2/18) and a DCR of 38.9%(7/18); 9 patients received the irinotecan-based regimen with an ORR of 22.2%(2/9) and a DCR of 44.4%(4/9). Univariate analysis showed positive liver metastasis and elevated carbohydrate antigen (CA)19-9 level to be significantly correlated with worse survival outcomes ( HR=1.540, 95% CI: 1.019-2.328, P=0.040 and HR=1.892, 95% CI: 1.123-3.188, P=0.017). Conclusion:For patients with advanced biliary tract cancer, in addition to the conventional regimens containing gemcitabine, platinums and fluorouracils, the combination of albumin-bound paclitaxel and S-1 was shown to be an effective chemotherapeutic regimen for these patients. Second-line chemotherapy was insufficient and ineffective, and an irinotecan-based regimen deserves to be further investigated. Liver metastasis and elevated CA19-9 level were worse prognosis after chemotherapy for patients with advanced biliary tract cancer.

Objective:To explore the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of patients with ovarian metastases from colorectal cancer.Methods:A total of 122 female patients with ovarian metastases from colorectal cancer underwent treatment in Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences between 2010 and 2015 were recruited. The clinicopathological features, treatment details and survival data of these patients were retrospectively analyzed. Kaplan-Maier method was used for survival analysis, log rank test and Cox proportional hazards model were used for prognostic factor analysis.Results:The median overall survival (OS) was 19.7 months. The 1-year, 3-years and 5-years OS rates were 72.1%, 24.7% and 9.9%, respectively. A total of 99 (81.1%) patients underwent oophorectomy. The median OS of patients who underwent oophorectomy was 21.9 months, significantly longer than 10.3 months of patients without oophorectomy ( P<0.01). Ovary as the only site of metastasis, primary tumor resection, and oophorectomy were associated with improved survival (all P<0.01). Primary tumor resection and oophorectomy were independent prognostic factors for OS (both P<0.01). Conclusion:Patients with ovarian metastases from colorectal cancer might acquire a survival benefit from surgical resection of the primary tumor and ovaries.

According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 23 patients were enrolled in the final study, there were 14 males and 9 females, the mean and median age was 37.6±19.9 and 35.0 years respectively. 23 patients included 3 cases of giant cell tumor, 4 cases of metastatic cancer, 4 cases of Ewing's sarcoma, 2 cases of osteosarcoma, 2 cases of aneurysmal bone cyst, 1 angiosarcoma, 1 primary malignacy in giant cell tumor, 1 low-grade central osteosarcoma, 1 parosteosarcoma, 1 synovial sarcoma, 1 plasma cell myeloma, 1 tendon sheath giant cell tumor and 1 case of mixed tumor. There were 6 cases of benign tumor, 4 cases of low grade sarcoma and 13 cases of high grade malignancy. With 19 cases of distal humerus, 3 cases of proximal ulna and 1 case of elbow. Each patient underwent tumor resection followed by restrictive tumor prosthesis and semi-restrictive of coonrad-morrey prosthesis were used for reconstruction.The duration of the operation, the amount of blood loss, epidemiological data, reconstruction length, oncology parameter, complications and functional evaluation were enrolled and statistical analyzed.Results:The mean length of the osteotomy followed by reconstruction was 12.5±3.9 cm, the mean operative time was 154.1±50.1 minutes, and the mean bleeding was 262.2±100.9 ml. Thirteen patients were treated with customized tumor limited prosthesis while 10 patients with Coonrad-Morrey semi-limited prosthesis. The 5-year survival rates of 23 patients was 64.3%, benign tumors, low-grade and high-grade malignancies were 100%, 100% and 39.7%, respectively. Three cases of lung cancer and three cases of Ewing's sarcoma died during the follow-up period (6/23, 26.1%), one case of giant cell tumor and one case of synovial sarcoma developed local recurrence (2/23, 8.7%). The median range of motion for the elbow increased from 35 to 85 degrees ( t=-13.787, P<0.05), the median NRS score decreased from 5.0 to 0.5 ( t=14.391, P<0.05). Postoperative complications occurred in 9 cases (9/23, 39.1%), the recent complications were nerve injury in 4 cases and infection in 1 case, late complications were prosthesis loosening and failure in 4 cases, the 5 year survival rate of prosthesis was 82.0%. The mean and median MSTS 93 score was 84.5%±11.0% and 88.3% respectively. Conclusion:The local control around the elbow is satisfactory after tumor resection. Total elbow arthroplasty can relieve pain and significantly improve function.

Objective:Anlotinib is an oral multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) with dual effects of anti-proliferation and anti-angiogenesis. Phase Ⅰ clinical trials showed anlotinib was well tolerated and had therapeutic effects on a variety of tumors. The aim of this study is to explore the safety and efficacy of anlotinib in the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma.Methods:Between January 2014 and November 2015, a single-center data was obtained from a phase Ⅱ clinical study of anlotinib versus sunitinib on advanced renal cell carcinoma and a phase Ⅱ clinical study of anlotinib on advanced renal cell carcinoma which failed to respond to TKI treatment. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis, while Log-rank test was used to compare the survival rates.Results:A total of 36 patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma were enrolled in this study, including 19 patients without any target drug treatment, 12 patients with sunitinib treatment and 5 patients with sorafenib treatment. The median number of treatment cycle was 16. Partial response (PR) was obtained in 11 patients (30.6%) and stable disease (SD) was obtained in 24 patients (66.7%). The disease control rate (DCR) was 97.2%. The median progression free survival (PFS) was 12.6 months, the 1-year survival rate was 80.6%, and the median survival time was 22.2 months. Up to the follow-up deadline, 3 patients still received treatment, the PFSs were 52.6 months, 65.0 months, and 66.7 months. The most common treatment-related adverse events of grade 3 or 4 included hypertension (19.4%), hand-foot skin reaction (11.1%), proteinuria (5.6%) and anemia (5.6%).Conclusions:Anlotinib shows good anti-tumor activity and is generally well-tolerated in the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma. The adverse reactions of anlotinib are milder than sunitinib or pazopanib.

Objective: To elucidate the biological behavior of malignant transformation (MT) of fibrous dysplasia (FD) and investigate its risk factors for diagnostic identification. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 394 FD cases from March 2006 to March 2017 in Beijing Ji Shui Tan Hospital was performed. Seven cases had been histopathologically confirmed as malignant (study group). According to age, location, and other epidemiological data, we performed a 1:2 case-matched comparison between the patients with malignant FD and 14 patients with benign disease (control group). Clinical features, visual analog scale (VAS) score, tumor volume, imaging characteris-tics, alkaline phosphatase (AKP) levels, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels, oncologic results, and function data were analyzed. Re-sults: The 7 MT cases included 3 males and 4 females. Mean follow-up time was 175 (3-396) months, and mean and median follow-up time were 25 (3-51) months after MT. Mean and median age were 45.6 and 47 (24-60) years, respectively. Among the 7 cases, 6 in-volved the femur and 1 involved the tibia. Two cases involved a single lesion whereas the remaining 5 involved multiple lesions. There were 5 recurrent cases and 2 initial cases. The mean MT period from initial surgery were 207 (37-377) months. VAS scores in the study group were significantly higher than that in the control group (Z=-3.317, P=0.001); the VAS scores decreased significantly after opera-tion (Z=-2.384, P=0.017). Preoperative AKP levels were different between the study and control group; the levels were significantly higher in the former group than in the latter (Z=2.314, P=0.021). However, postoperative AKP levels were similar in both groups (Z=0.821, P=0.821). LDH levels were not significantly different between the two groups, either preoperatively (Z=1.269, P=0.205) or post-operatively (Z=0.075, P=0.940). As for the study group, AKP levels decreased significantly after surgery (Z=-2.366, P=0.018); LDH levels were also lower after surgery than before (Z=-2.028, P=0.043). CT enhancement values were higher in the study group than in the con-trol group (Z=-3.659, P<0.001). Univariate analysis indicated that preoperative VAS score, AKP level, cortical damage, presence of soft tissue mass, and CT enhancement value were clinical risk factors for determination of MT of FD. Histopathological analysis revealed 4 cases of osteosarcoma, 2 of low-grade spindle cell sarcoma, and 1 of undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma. Three patients had re-ceived adjuvant chemotherapy, 2 cases involved pulmonary metastasis, and 1 patient had died. The mean Musculoskeletal Tumor Soci-ety (MSTS) scores for the study and control groups were (95.0±3.9)% and (86.0±10.9)%, respectively (F=5.689, P=0.029). Conclusions:Malignant transformation of fibrous dysplasia is rare. The preoperative VAS score, AKP level, cortical damage, presence of soft tissue mass, and CT enhancement value may be helpful for clinical screening of malignant transformation. An adequate surgical margin is re-quired for treatment of this lesion.
