A 28-year-old woman was found to have coagulation factor Ⅷ activity (FⅧ∶C) <1% and von Willebrand factor antigen (VWF∶Ag) <1% during routine prenatal examinations. No pathogenic variation was found in the exon region of the VWF gene using next-generation sequencing. The clinical presentation of this patient does not match the clinical characteristics of type Ⅲ hemophilia [von Willebrand disease (VWD) ]; therefore, third-generation sequencing technology was used to perform whole-genome sequencing on the patient and her family members. Multiple members of the patient’s paternal family carried a heterozygous variant of VPS33B, c.869G>C. The family members carrying this variant all had varying degrees of reduced VWF levels (39% -56% ). Moreover, the proband was detected with the heterozygous variant c.1474dupA in GP1BA. The ACMG and Clinvar databases determined that this variation was associated with platelet-type pseudo VWD. The decrease in VWF levels caused by heterozygous variations in VPS33B in families is the first international report, and no previous studies have reported cases of severe decrease in plasma VWF levels caused by double heterozygous variations in VPS33B and GP1BA.

Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) refers to the simultaneous treatment of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and the effect of radiotherapy is enhanced with low-dose chemotherapy, which can reduce tumor recurrence and metastasis and improve clinical prognosis of patients. At present, the main factors for the increase of radiosensitivity of concurrent chemotherapy is that concurrent chemotherapy prevents the repair of tumor cells, and chemotherapy and radiotherapy act on different cell cycles and have synergistic effects. However, even for patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) who have undergone CCRT, the 5-year survival rate is only 60%, which is still not ideal. In order to improve the efficacy, researchers have conducted a series of exploratory studies, which consist of the combination of targeted drugs and immunodrugs, and neoadjuvant regimens before CCRT, etc. Although targeted or immunologic drugs are effective treatment of LACC, in view of the lack of large-scale evidence-based medical evidence, multi-center prospective and randomized phase III clinical trials and high-level articles are needed to improve the level of evidence-based medicine. This consensus summarizes several key evidence-based medical studies published recently, especially the clinical research progress in targeted and immunological therapies, providing reference for domestic peers.
