ObjectiveTo study the latest progress of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer. MethodsLiteratures of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer, involving with theoretical basis, clinical significance, indications, drugs, predictors, and its relationship of breastconserving surgery, sentinel lymph node biopsy were reviewed. ResultsNeoadjuvant chemotherapy could reduce the clinical stage, increase opportunity of breast-conserving surgery, learn the sensitivity of drugs, prevent distant metastases, but the impact of the sentinel lymph node biopsy was still in dispute. ConclusionNeoadjuvant chemotherapy is an important part of a systemic treatment for breast cancer, but how to select sensitive drugs, develop individualized treatment programs and forecast the outcome needs further study.
【 Abstract 】 Objective To discuss incidence of the complications in the rectal cancer patients ’ early postoperative being treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with surgical intervention. Methods The rectal cancer patients under surgical therapy being diagnosed definitely, with neoadjuvant chemotherapy under multi-disciplinary team (MDT) or without and firstly being discovered from April to October of 2007 were studied. The complication conditions of these patients 1 month after operation were studied and observed, and the differences between MDT group and non-MDT group were compared. Results According to the condition, 189 rectal cancer patients were internalized. Among all the patients, the distance of tumor to the dentate line were lt;3 cm 38 cases, 3 ～ 7 cm 86 cases, ≥ 7 cm 65 cases; pathological stage were Ⅰ stage 5 cases ， Ⅱstage 122 cases， Ⅲstage 50 cases， Ⅳstage 12 cases. There were 181 cases laparotomy, 8 cases laparoscopic operation; 33 cases stoma operation, 156 cases non-stoma operation. The total incidence of postoperative complication was 27.0% （51/189）. Of all, incision bleeding was 1 case, abdominal (deep) bleeding were 4 cases, anastomosis bleeding were 5 cases, pulmonary infection was 1 case, wound infection were 7 cases, urinary tract infection were 3 cases, abdominal (deep) infection was 1 case, unknown fever were 19 cases, superficial layer wound dehiscence was 1 case, wound co-liquation were 15 cases, anastomosis leakage were 3 cases, rectovaginal fistula were 2 cases; intestinal obstruction were 7 cases, urinary retention were 7 cases, stress ulcer were 2 cases. Follow-up in 2-10 months after operation, there was no death case. The baseline between MDT group and non-MDT group was equal. The ratio of postoperative blood transfusion of MDT group was obviously less than that of non-MDT group （P＜0.05）. Moreover, the operation time of MDT group was obviously shorter than that of non-MDT group, and the difference was statistically significant （P＜0.05）. But the ratio of laparotomy and laparoscopic operation, of stoma operation and non-stoma operation, as well as the types of radical excision operation of rectal cancer didn’t show any statistical difference between two groups (Pgt;0.05). The postoperative venting time, defecation time, intake time didn’t show any statistical difference between two groups too. But the postoperative out-of-bed activity time and the postoperative in-hospital days of MDT group was obviously shorter than that of non-MDT group, and the difference was statistically significant （P＜0.05）. In MDT group the postoperative total complication rate was less than non-MDT group, and the difference was statistically significant （P＜0.05）. Among all the complications, the MDT group had a lower rate of wound infection, wound co-liquation and urinary retention （P＜0.05）. Using multifactorial logistic regression analysis, the risk factor which influenced the postoperative complication rate in MDT group were: postoperative intake time and postoperative hospitalization time. But the risk factor in non-MDT group was only according to postoperative hospitalization time. Conclusion The patients who were treated by MDT, definite operative method combining neoadjuvant chemotherapy or not didn’t increase the postoperative complication rate and risk. So it could be believed that such a composite treatment was feasible and safe in early postoperative stage. But it needs further studies to evaluate the medium- and long-term clinical effect.
ObjectiveTo explore the clinical application of oncoplastic surgery in breast-conserving surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.MethodsFrom May 2016 to May 2018, 32 breast cancer patients (cT2–3N0–3M0) who were scheduled for neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and agreed to accept breast-conserving surgery after NAC in the Henan Tumor Hospital were enrolled into the retrospective study. These patients were originally unable to perform traditional breast conserving surgery because of the size or location of the tumor. We observed the success rate, safety and cosmetic effects of breast-conserving therapy, which were applicated of tumor down-staging after neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with oncoplastic surgery.ResultsIn this study, after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, 31 patients achieved CR or PR, and 1 patient had SD. All 32 patients underwent breast-conserving surgery successfully, 3 patients underwent breast-conserving combined with volume replacement, and 29 patients underwent breast-conserving combined with volume displacement. One patient was not satisfied with the cosmetic effects, the other patients were satisfied or basically satisfied with the cosmetic effects. The median follow-up was 18 months (5–24 months), and no local recurrence or distant metastasis was found in 32 patients.ConclusionsBy tumor down-staging after neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with oncoplastic surgery, we can make some patients who are originally not suitable for breast conserving due to tumor size and tumor location succeed in breast-conserving therapy, and the safety and cosmetic effect are basically satisfied.
Objective To study the long-term effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on advanced breast cancer. Methods The CAF neoadjuvant chemotherapy 〔CTX 500 mg/m2（1st day, 8th day), 5-FU 500 mg/m2（1st day, 8th day), and ADM 30 mg/m2 (1st day) every 3 weeks〕 was carried out in 31 breast cancer patients (stageⅢ,Ⅳ) for 2 cycles before operation, compared with 30 patients (stage Ⅲa) whose therapies were never done and operations could be feasible. Results The overall response rate was 87.1%(27/31). The stages of 19 patients among 31 (61.3%) declined (6 patients to stage Ⅲa, 8 to stageⅡb, 4 to stageⅡa, 1 to stage 0, 1 to complete response and none to pathological complete response). The diseasefree survival time of the patients was 56.3 months which was obviously longer than that of the patients without neoadjuvant chemotherapy (43.5 months, P＜0.05). The 5-year diseasefree survival rate of the patients with neoadjuvant chemotherapy was 38.7% which was a little higher than that (33.3%) of the patients without the chemotherapy, and the two groups had no significant difference. Conclusion The neoadjuvant chemotherapy can reduce the stages of patients with advanced breast cancer, obviously prolong the diseasefree survival time of patients, and reduce or delay recurrence or metastasis.

This paper aims to investigate the value of diffusiion weighted imaging (DWI) and different apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) methods to predict the curative effects of neoadjuvant chempotherapy (NAC) for breast cancer. From March 2010 to December 2012, seventy-one patients were pathologically confirmed invasive breast cancer by needle puncture biopsy received before surgery, and underwent magnetic resonance before and after NAC, the ADC were measured by mean ADC method and lower ADC method. The pathologic response after NAC was divided to major histological response (MHR) group and non-major histological response (NMHR) group according to Miller & Payne system. Results displayed that ADC values obtained before NAC, at the end of the second cycle of NAC, and after whole course of treatment, had good correlations between mean and lower ADC methods (the Pearson's correlation=0.699, 0.749 and 0.895, respectively). Significant difference in ADC obtained both with mean and lower ADC methods could be found between MHR and NMHR groups after the second cycle of NAC (P<0.05). After the second cycle of NAC, significant difference in the change rate of ADC could be found between MHR and NMHR groups by using lower ADC method (P<0.05), but not be found by using mean ADC method (P＞0.05). In conclusion, DWI could monitor the pathologic changes of breast cancer after NAC, and the lower ADC method might be used to evaluate the curative effect of NAC with the change rate of ADC.
Objective To evaluate the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on the expression of CXCR4 in breast cancer and its clinical significance.Methods The clinical data of 59 patients with breast cancer of stage Ⅱ and stage Ⅲ underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy with paclitaxel plus epirubicin for 3 cycles between April 2005 and March 2009 were retrospectively analyzed. The expression of CXCR4 in the breast cancer tissues before and after neo-adjuvant chemotherapy was examined by immunohistochemistry and its relationship with clinicopathologic factors was analyzed.Results The CXCR4 positive expression was observed in 56 patients with breast cancer (94.9%), but not in corresponding nontumor normal tissues. The expression level of CXCR4 was correlated to lymph nodes metastasis (P=0.019) and breast cancer stage (P=0.040), but it was not correlated to age of patients, tumor size, grade, hormone receptor (ER and PR)， and HER2 status. The expression level of CXCR4 was significantly decreased after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Decline extent of CXCR4 expression after chemotherapy and CXCR4 expression level were not correlated to the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, while the effect of chemotherapy in patients expressed CXCR4 in cluster distribution was better than that in scattering distribution (P=0.015). Conclusion The decline extent of CXCR4 expression level after paclitaxel combined with epirubicin neoadjuvant chemotherapy is not correlated to the efficacy, but its expressing distribution may be considered as an index to the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
目的:探讨妊娠相关性宫颈癌的早期诊断、治疗和预后。方法:结合文献回顾分析我院2000年至2007年收治的13例妊娠相关性宫颈癌的诊治经过和预后。结果:妊娠相关性宫颈癌分化程度低，癌灶体积大，早期盆腔淋巴结转移率高，产褥期宫颈癌预后差。结论:宫颈细胞学检查应列为首次产检常规项目；妊娠期宫颈原位癌在密切随诊前提下可暂不予处理，待分娩后6~8周活检确认病变性质后，再采取相应治疗措施；新辅助化疗同样可为晚期别的妊娠相关性宫颈癌争取手术时机。
Objective To explore the quality of life of colorectal cancer patients undergoing multi-disciplinary comprehensive treatment by neo-adjuvant chemotherapy combined with radical resection. Methods From May 2007 to August 2007, the patients diagnosed definitely as colorectal cancer were analyzed retrospectively, of whom accepted neo-adjuvant chemotherapy combined with surgery were included and evaluated by quality of life questionnaire-core 30 (QLQ-C30) of European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC), and there were 3 time points chosen for assessment which were pre-neoadjuvant chemotherapy stage (point A), preoperative stage after neo-adjuvant chemotherapy (point B), and one month after surgery (point C). Results A total of 57 patients with an average age of 56.33 years (41-69 years) were incorporated in this study, and among which there were 34 male and 23 female; and 10 right-sided hemi-colonic cancer, 4 left sided hemi-colonic cancer, 43 rectal cancer. The global health differences between the A and B point or A and C point were statistically significant (Plt;0.001) whereas no significant difference existed between B and C point (Pgt;0.05). For the functioning scales of physical, physical, role, cognitive, and social function, no statistically difference among A, B and C time point. Although there wasn’t any emotional difference existed between A and B point (Pgt;0.05), obvious differ between C and A or C and B point were showed out (Plt;0.005). And for symptom scales, no remarkable differences came out among A, B and C point for dyspnoea and constipation (Pgt;0.05); reversely, great differences were found for fatigue, pain, insomnia, appetite loss, and diarrhoea between C and A or C and B point (Plt;0.01), but nope for A and B in the 5 items of symptom (Pgt;0.05). And the score of nausea and vomiting presented significantly differences between A and B or B and C point (Plt;0.01), but nope for A and C in this item (Pgt;0.05). There came out distinct significantly for financial impact among A, B and C point with a worsen score from early to late stage (Plt;0.001). Conclusion The intervention of chemotherapy could worsen the quality of life during the treatment of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy combined with surgery which may be attributed to the side reaction, but such adverse reaction may not affect actually the postoperative subjective feeling; On the other hand, the colorectal surgery may not decrease the quality of life although which could lead more early postoperative uncomforting. However, it needs more researches to discuss about the contribution of different comprehensive treatment strategy to the quality of life as well as the cost-effective analysis.
