Objectives:To examine the clinicopathological characteristics and the influencing factors of the residual tumor of patients with Breast Image Report and Data System (BI-RADS) grade 3 lesions diagnosed with malignancy after minimally invasive excision.Methods:In this retrospective case-control study, clinicopathological data of 69 cases, which had been evaluated as BI-RADS 3 lesions by ultrasound (4 151 cases) diagnosed with breast cancer by minimally invasive excision pathology, were analyzed between May 2012 and June 2016 at the Department of Breast Surgery of the Second Hospital of Shandong University and Linyi People′s Hospital. All patients were female, aged (43.4±8.2) years (range: 22 to 70 years). Based on residual tumor after minimally invasive excision, patients were classified into two subgroups: tumor residual group ( n=39) and non-tumor residual group ( n=30). The clinicopathological features between the two groups were compared. The differences in clinicopathological characteristics were compared in different groups using the χ 2 test and the t test. Potential variables identified in the univariate analysis and other relevant variables will be analyzed multivarially using Logistic regression models. The Kaplan-Meier method was applied for survival analysis and survival curves. Results:The breast cancer detection rate of ultrasound BI-RADS 3 lesions was 1.66% (69/4 151), and their maximum diameter of the masses was (1.27±0.45) cm (range: 0.5 to 2.3 cm). Among them, the maximum diameter were ≤1 cm in 28 cases and >1 cm in 41 cases. Histopathological results showed carcinoma in situ in 24 cases and invasive carcinoma in 41 cases, positive expression of the estrogen receptor in 47 cases, positive expression of the progesterone receptor in 43 cases, Ki-67 proliferation index elevated in 26 cases. Axillary metastasis positive rate was 10.1% (7/69). Residual tumor after minimally invasive surgery was found in 39 cases (56.5%). Univariate analysis showed that the tumour residual group showed a significantly increased rate of positive expression of the estrogen receptor (91.9%(34/37) vs. 61.9%(13/21), χ2=7.838, P=0.012). In multivariate analysis, the only variable found to significantly affect the residual tumor was the positive expression of the estrogen receptor ( OR=16.852, 95% CI: 1.819 to 156.130, P=0.013). The 5-year disease-free survival rate of breast cancer patients with breast ultrasound BI-RADS 3 lesions was 97.1% and the overall survival rate was 98.6%. Conclusions:BI-RADS 3 lesions diagnosed by ultrasound undergoing ultrasound-guided minimally invasive excision have a certain risk of detected malignancy, approximately 1.66%. Patients with positive expression of the estrogen receptor are more likely to develop residual tumor. A secondary operation should be considered to ensure that no tumor residues remain in the cavity.

Objective To investigate the expression of interleukin(IL)-1β,IL-6 and interferon γ(IFN-γ)cytokines in peripheral blood of patients with lung cancer detected by multiple microsphere flow immunofluo-rescence technique and to analyze the correlation with hypersevsitive C-reactive protein(hs-CRP).Methods A retrospective study was conducted to select 30 patients with lung cancer patients admitted to De-partment of Oncology and Department of Pulmonary Diseases in Zhangjiagang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine(the hospital)as the lung cancer group,select 30 patients with pneumonia admitted in the hospital during the same period as the pneumonia group,and select 30 healthy people who underwent the physical ex-amination in the hospital in the same period as the control group.The serum levels of IL-1β,IL-6 and IFN-γwere detected by multiple microsphere flow immunofluorescence technique.Meanwhile,the level of hs-CRP in peripheral blood was determined by latex enhanced immunoscattering nephelometry.Results Compared with the control group,the levels of IL-1β,IL-6 and hs-CRP in lung cancer group were significantly increased,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.001),while the difference in the level of IFN-γ was not sta-tistically significant(P＞0.05).Compared with the control group,the levels of IL-1β,IL-6,IFN-γ and hs-CRP in the pneumonia group were significantly increased,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.001).Compared with pneumonia group,the levels of IL-6,IFN-γ and hs-CRP in lung cancer group were sig-nificantly decreased and IL-1β level was increased,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Pearson correlation analysis was conducted on the levels of IL-6 and hs-CRP in the lung cancer group and pneumonia group,but no significant correlation was observed.Conclusion IL-1β,IL-6 and IFN-γ could be used as auxiliary indexes to effectively evaluate the immune function of patients with lung cancer.The applica-tion of multiple microsphere flow immunofluorescence technique has potential clinical application value for the diagnosis and monitoring of lung cancer.

Background::Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy is gradually accepted as the standard of care in breast cancer patients with down-staged axillary disease after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). However, it is still difficult to precisely define pre-NAC clinical node-positive (cN1) and post-NAC clinical node-negative (ycN0). This prospective single-center trial was designed to evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of standard targeted axillary dissection (TAD) after NAC in highly selective pre-NAC cN1 patients (not considering ultrasound-based axillary ycN staging).Methods::This prospective trial included patients with initial pre-NAC cT1–3N1M0 invasive breast cancer but with a rigorous definition of cN1 from the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University. When NAC was effective (including complete and partial responses) and preoperative axillary palpation was negative, preoperative ultrasound-based axillary staging was not considered, and all patients underwent TAD followed by axillary lymph node (LN) dissection. The detection rate (DR) and false-negative rate (FNR) of TAD were calculated.Results::A total of 82 patients were included, and 77 of them were eligible for data analysis. The DR for TAD was 94.8% (73/77). There were 26 patients with one abnormal LN at the time of diagnosis based on ultrasound, 45 patients with two, and 2 patients with three. One patient had one TAD LN, four patients had two TAD LNs, and 68 patients had three or more TAD LNs. Preoperative axillary palpation yielded negative results for all 73 patients who successfully underwent TAD. Preoperative ultrasound-based ycN0 and ycN+ conditions were detected for 52 and 21 cases, respectively. The FNR was 7.4% (2/27) for standard TAD (≥3 SLNs), which was lower than that of all successful TAD (≥1 SLN; 10.0%, 3/30).Conclusions::In rigorously defined pre-NAC cN1 breast cancer patients, standard TAD is feasible for those with negative axillary palpation after NAC, and FNR is also less than 10%.Registration::chictr.org.cn, ChiCTR2100049093
