Objective To identify clinicopathological parameters that differentiate between very high-risk and ordinary high-risk gas-trointestinal stromal tumors(GISTs)to provide guidance for clinical treatment and follow-up monitoring.Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted,collecting 174 cases of high-risk GISTs initially diagnosed and surgically resected at Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital between January 1st,2011,and December 31st,2019.Based on long-term follow-up data,the X-tile software was used to identify key parameters for screening very high-risk GISTs from ordinary high-risk GISTs,and the results were validated by using high-risk GIST cases from the cBioPortal database.Results Among the 174 high-risk GIST cases,the X-tile software indicat-ed that the maximum tumor diameter of 14 cm,the mitotic count of 14/5 mm2,and the Ki-67 proliferation index of 10%were the optimal cutoff values for distinguishing very high-risk GISTs from ordinary high-risk GISTs.Univariate survival analysis confirmed that these cutoff values were associated with progression free survival(PFS,all P<0.05).Multivariate survival analysis confirmed that the maximum tumor diameter≥14 cm(HR=5.727,P<0.01),mitotic count≥14/5 mm2(HR=2.454,P=0.047),and Ki-67 proliferation index≥10%(HR=2.275,P=0.047)were independent risk factors for tumor progression in high-risk GIST patients.High-risk GISTs with any one of the three parameters more than or equal to its optimal cutoff value were defined as very high-risk GISTs,and the other GISTs were defined as ordinary high-risk GISTs.Compared to very high-risk GIST patients,the ordinary high-risk GIST patients had superior PFS(P<0.01),and a trend toward better overall survival(OS,P=0.082).Stratified analysis showed that,in subgroups of patients with gastric or non-gas-tric primary tumors,those receiving or not receiving adjuvant therapy,and those with KIT proto-oncogene,receptor tyrosine kinase(KIT)gene mutations,ordinary high-risk GIST patients all exhibited superior PFS compared to very high-risk GIST patients(all P<0.05).Both PFS and OS of ordinary high-risk GIST patients in the cBioPortal database were better than those of very high-risk GIST patients(both P=0.001).Stratified analysis of the cBioPortal database data showed that,in subgroups of patients with gastric or non-gastric primary tu-mors,those who received adjuvant therapy,and those with KIT gene mutations,ordinary high-risk GIST patients all exhibited superior PFS compared to very high-risk GIST patients(all P<0.05);conversely,among patients who did not receive adjuvant therapy,very high-risk GIST patients showed a trend toward poorer PFS(P=0.366).Conclusions This study has established a method utilizing commonly used clinical parameters to distinguish very high-risk GISTs in clinical practice.However,further validation through multicenter studies with larger sample sizes is still required.

Practical Oncology Journal 2025;39(5):418-427
Objective The aim of this study was to systematically analyze the molecular characteristics of breast cancer me-tastasis from the primary focus to lymph node based on single-cell transcriptomic technology,and screen potential biomarkers that could be used to assess the risk of lymph node metastasis of breast cancer and predict survival prognosis.Methods A single-cell RNA sequencing dataset of breast cancer(GSE161529)was integrated to construct a single-cell transcriptomic map by normal breast tissues,primary lesion and paired lymph node metastasis samples.Through CNV analysis,and combining cell trajectory analysis,func-tional enrichment,and differential expression analyses,epithelial cell subsets and key genes closely related to tumor progression were screened,and survival analysis was conducted based on the TCGA breast cancer cohort to verify the clinical prognostic value of key genes.Results A total of 86,825 high-quality cells were obtained,and 7 main cell types were identified.The epithelial cells in both the primary lesion and metastatic lymph nodes had malignant characteristics,and there were two main differentiation pathways:NT→PT and NT→PT→MLN.Epithelial cells were further divided into 8 subclusters(C1-C8).Among them,the C4 subgroup was mainly associated with tumor proliferation,whereas the C8 subgroup was closely related to metastasis.The high expression of core genes PCLAF and ERO1A was significantly correlated with poor prognosis in patients(P<0.001).Conclusion This study reveals the cellu-lar differentiation lineage of breast cancer from primary to metastasis,and identifies PCLAF and ERO1A as key genes driving the pro-gress of breast cancer,which can be used as potential biomarkers to predict lymph node metastasis of breast cancer and evaluate the prognosis of patients.
4.Chinese expert consensus on gastrointestinal preparation for gynecological surgery(2025 edition)
Practical Oncology Journal 2025;39(5):363-371
Gastrointestinal preparation for gynecological surgery is a key link in perioperative management,and its standardi-zation and scientific nature directly affect surgical safety,patient prognosis,and the rational utilization of medical resources.There are significant regional differences in the implementation of preoperative bowel preparation in medical institutions at all levels in China.With the popularization of minimally invasive surgical techniques and the promotion of the enhanced recovery concept after surgery,it is urgent to establish a clinical decision-making system that is scientific,standardized,and practical.This consensus aims to reduce the incidence of postoperative complications such as surgical site infections and ileus by proposing standardized and precise intestinal prepa-ration strategies,providing practical guidance for perioperative management and clinical decision-making in gynecological surgery.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence and mortality of malignant tumors among urban residents in Yingkou City in 2021,and to explore the key points of prevention and treatment of malignant tumors.Methods Based on the cancer registration data of Yingkou urban area in 2021,the incidence,crude mortality,age-standardized incidence by Chinese standard population(ASIRC),age-standardized mortality by Chinese standard population(ASMRC),age-standardized incidence by world standard population(ASIRW),age-standardized mortality by world standard population(ASMRW),and the ranks of incidence and mortality of malignant tumors were calculated and analyzed.Results In 2021,the incidence of malignant tumors among urban ar-eas of Yingkou City was 475.86/100,000,ASIRC was 234.93/100,000 and ASIRW was 224.76/100,000.The top five most cancers by incidence were lung cancer,female breast cancer,colorectal cancer,thyroid cancer and gastric cancer.The crude mortality was 271.99/100,000;ASMRC was 118.42/100,000,and ASMRW was 115.80/100,000.The top five most cancers by mortality were lung cancer,colorectal cancer,liver cancer,breast cancer and pancreatic cancer.Both the incidence(x2=1,950.616,P<0.001)and mortality(x2=2,283.237,P<0.001)of malignant tumors increased with age,and reached the peak at the age of 80-84(incidence:1,619.35/100,000 and mortality:1,629.11/100,000).Conclusion Lung cancer,female breast cancer,colorectal cancer and thy-roid cancer are the key types of cancer that need to be focused on prevention and treatment in urban areas of Yingkou City;The elderly people are at a high-risk group for malignant tumors;Effective tertiary prevention measures should be comprehensively implemented for this high-risk populations to reduce the burden of malignant tumor diseases.
10.Analysis of gastroscopic screening and follow-up results among high-risk populations for gastric cancer in Gejiu City,Yun-nan Province
Practical Oncology Journal 2025;39(5):405-411
Objective The aim of this study was to analyze the gastroscopic screening results of high-risk populations for gastric cancer in Gejiu City from 2021 to 2023,and to provide theoretical basis for gastric cancer prevention and treatment in this city.Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted to assess the risk of gastric cancer among residents aged 40 and above in Gejiu City.Gastroscopy and pathological biopsy were performed on those assessed as high-risk for gastric cancer,and the screening results were statistically analyzed.Results From 2021 to 2023,a total of 24,391 residents were evaluated,of which 7,978 were at high-risk of gastric cancer.Among them,2,473 individuals completed gastroscopy and pathological examination,with a screening rate of 31.00%.Twenty-eight cases of gastric cancer were detected,and the detection rate of gastric cancer in high-risk populations was 1.13%;Among them,there were 9 cases of early-stage gastric cancer,with an early diagnosis rate of 46.43%.The overall infection rate of Helicobacter pylori(HP)was 62.00%,and it increased significantly with the severity of gastric mucosal lesions(P<0.001).The detection rates of gastric cancer and precancerous lesions were significantly higher in males,ethnic minorities,and HP-infected individuals was higher than those in females,Han people,and non-HP-infected individuals,and the differences were statistically sig-nificant(P<0.05).Following-up results showed that 1 case(2.08%)of severe atrophic gastritis progressed to early gastric cancer,and 2 cases(6.67%)of low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia progressed to early gastric cancer.Conclusion The detection rate of gas-tric cancer among high-risk populations in Gejiu City was relatively high,however the proportion of early-stage cases remained low,indicating that the rate of early diagnosis still needs to be improved.Males,ethnic minorities,and HP-infected individuals are key tar-get groups for gastric cancer prevention and control in this region.HP infection may be closely related to the progression of gastric mu-cosal lesions and the occurrence of gastric cancer,and relevant interventions should be strengthened.
