Objective To explore the value of tumor diameter to preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) ratio (TCR) in predicting prognosis of patients with non-metastatic colorectal cancer. Methods The clinical data of 144 patients with colorectal cancer in Hainan Hospital of PLA General Hospital between July 2012 and December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into the low TCR group and the high TCR group according to the optimal value of TCR in predicting the disease-free survival (DFS) determined by the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). The clinicopathological features of both groups were analyzed, and the influencing factors of DFS were also analyzed by using Cox proportional hazard model. Results ROC analysis showed that TCR had a certain value in predicting DFS, and area under the curve (AUC) was 0.614 (95% CI 0.507-0.722); when the value of TCR was set at 0.690, the sensitivity and specificity of predicting the 3-year DFS rate was 46.3% and 70.9%, respectively. According to 0.690 of TCR, there were 50 cases in the low TCR ( 0.05). Univariate analysis showed that TCR, preoperative CEA level and TNM stage played a role in predicting DFS of patients (all P < 0.05), while Cox multivariate analysis indicated that TCR < 0.690 (HR = 2.369, 95% CI 1.279-4.388, P = 0.006) and Ⅲ stage in TNM stage (HR = 2.214, 95% CI 1.346-3.640, P = 0.002) were the independent risk factors of influencing DFS (all P < 0.01). The 3-year DFS rate of patients in the low TCR group was lower than that of those in the high TCR group (62.0% vs. 83.0%, P = 0.007). Conclusion TCR could have a certain value in judging the prognosis of non-metastatic colorectal cancer patients, and low TCR patients have a poorer prognosis.

High mobility group protein A2 (HMGA2) is a non-histone protein that does not have transcriptional activity by itself, but it changes its structure by binding to chromatin, which in turn regulates the transcription of other genes, thereby promoting tumor invasion and metastasis. The related RNA gene can regulate the role of HMGA2 in tumors, and the invasiveness of tumors is closely related to epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), which can treat the related tumors by targeting HMGA2 gene. This article reviews the progress of the relationship between HMGA2 and tumors. Key words: High mobility group proteins; Molecular targeted therapy; RNA; Epithelial-mesenchymal transition

Objective To investigate the changes of serum thyroid hormone (TH) level in patients with breast cancer after radical mastectomy and its correlation with postoperative recurrence. Methods A total of 112 patients with breast cancer who underwent radical mastectomy in Hai'an People's Hospital of Jiangsu Province from January 2017 to January 2019 were selected as the breast cancer group, and 60 health examinees in the same period were selected as the control group. Serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free triiodothyronine (FT3), free tetraiodothyronine (FT4), total tetraiodothyronine (T4) Total triiodothyronine (T3) levels. Divide into recurrent group and non recurrent group based on postoperative recurrence, and compare the serum TH levels between the two groups. Results The preoperative serum T3, FT3 and FT4 levels [(1.58 ± 0.27) nmol/L, (4.42 ± 0.49) pmol/L, (9.68 ± 1.26) pmol/L] in the breast cancer group were lower than those in the control group [(2.05 ± 0.33) nmol/L, (4.94 ± 0.58) pmol/L, (11.17 ± 1.65) pmol/L] (all P<0.05). The postoperative serum T3, FT3 and FT4 levels [(1.96 ± 0.30) nmol/L, (4.75 ± 0.51) pmol/L, (10.52 ± 1.37) pmol/L] were all lower. It was higher than that before operation (all P<0.05). The serum levels of T3, FT3, and FT4 in TNM stage I patients were higher than those in stage II and III patients (all P<0.05), while the serum levels of T3, FT3, and FT4 in stage II patients were higher than those in stage III patients (all P<0.05). The preoperative serum T3, FT3 and FT4 levels in the non recurrence group of breast cancer patients were higher than those in the recurrence group (all P<0.05). Conclusion The levels of T3, FT3 and FT4 gradually decrease with the progression of the disease. After radical surgery for breast cancer, the clearing of the focus tissue causes the change of neurotransmitters, which leads to the increase of serum T3, FT3 and FT4 levels. The levels of T3, FT3 and FT4 in recurrent patients are lower than those in non recurrent patients. It is considered that the recurrence of breast cancer is related to thyroid dysfunction.

Objective To investigate the value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in the diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of primary hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods The clinical data of 100 patients pathologically diagnosed as primary liver cancer who were admitted to the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2013 to December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Serum alpha fetoprotein (AFP), a conventional marker for hepatocellular carcinoma diagnosis was used as the control. The fourfold table diagnostic test was applied to analyze the sensitivity and specificity of serum NLR in the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma, and the correlation with the degree of tumor differentiation was also analyzed. Results The proportion of patients with high NLR (≥1.70) [56% (56/100)] was higher than the proportion of patients with positive AFP [44% (44/100)] in all 100 hepatocellular carcinoma patients, but the difference was not statistically significant (χ2 = 2.88, P = 0.08). Among AFP-positive patients, the median survival time of patients with low and high NLR was 59 and 48 months, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2 = 3.91, P = 0.048), and high NLR was an independent risk factor affecting the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma patients (HR = 1.232, 95% CI 1.055-1.438, P = 0.008). Conclusions The detection of NLR combined with AFP can improve the diagnostic rate of hepatocellular carcinoma before surgery.

Breast cancer and thyroid diseases mostly occur in women, and both have seriously affected women's physical and mental health. Breast cancer patients have a higher risk of thyroid diseases before and after the onset of the disease compared with other malignant tumors. There are some common risk factors between them, and breast and thyroid are hormone-responsive organs, so they can also influence each other in some regulatory pathways. Iodine, thyroid hormone receptor and estrogen receptor are considered to be the possible pathogenesis of breast cancer. This paper explores the relationship between breast cancer and thyroid diseases with the help of researches in breast cancer, thyroid benign diseases, thyroid cancer, thyroid hormones and antibodies in recent years, so as to provide a basis for disease prevention and treatment. Key words: Breast neoplasms; Thyroid diseases; Thyroid hormone receptor; Estrogen receptor

There are some common risk factors between them, and breast and thyroid are hormone-responsive organs, so they can also influence each other in some regulatory pathways. Iodine, thyroid hormone receptor and estrogen receptor are considered to be the possible pathogenesis of breast cancer. This paper explores the relationship between breast cancer and thyroid diseases with the help of researches in breast cancer, thyroid benign diseases, thyroid cancer, thyroid hormones and antibodies in recent years, so as to provide a basis for disease prevention and treatment. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Key words: \u0000Breast neoplasms; Thyroid diseases; Thyroid hormone receptor; Estrogen receptor","PeriodicalId":9505,"journal":{"name":"Cancer Research and Clinic","volume":"32 1","pages":"206-209"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42904112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
Objective To explore the cancer incidence and mortality in registration areas of Shanxi Province in 2014. Methods The data of 12 cancer registration areas of Shanxi Province in 2014 were taken to analyze the characteristics of cancer incidence and mortality for patients with different age and gender in different areas. And then the results were compared with the malignant cancer incidence and mortality in the nationwide. Results There were 11 703 new cases, including 6 559 males and 5 144 females in registration areas of Shanxi Province in 2014, and the incidence rate was 221.21/105, while the age-standardized incidence rate of Chinese population and world population was 163.91/105 and 163.25/105, respectively. The cancer incidence rate in urban areas was 247.02/105 and the age-standardized incidence rate of Chinese population was 171.35/105. In rural areas, the cancer incidence rate was 205.98/105 and the age-standardized incidence rate of Chinese population was 159.03/105. The common cancer sites were stomach, lung, esophagus, liver and colorectum for males. And breast, cervix, lung, esophagus, stomach were the common cancer sites for females. There were 7 283 malignant death cases, including 4 548 males and 2 735 females. The crude cancer mortality rate was 137.66/105, and the age-standardized mortality rate of Chinese population was 99.67/105 and world population was 100.11/105. The crude cancer mortality rate in urban areas was 141.03/105 and the age-standardized incidence rate of Chinese population was 92.84/105. In rural areas, the crude cancer mortality rate was 135.68/105 and the age-standardized mortality rate of Chinese population was 103.69/105. Male common malignant tumor deaths included lung cancer, gastric cancer, liver cancer, esophageal cancer and colorectal cancer, while lung, stomach, liver, esophagus and cervix were the common cancer death sites for females. Conclusions The incidence and mortality of malignant tumors in registration areas in Shanxi Province are mainly lung cancer, upper gastrointestinal cancer and cervix uteri cancer. The incidence rates of stomach cancer and cervical cancer are high. Key words: Malignant neoplasms; Incidence analysis; Mortality analysis; Cancer registry

Microsatellite instability (MSI) is caused by the deficiency of DNA mismatch repair (MMR) protein, which is closely related to the occurrence, development, prognosis and efficacy prediction of various tumors. MSI-high (MSI-H) and mismatch repair protein deficiency (dMMR) might be a predictor factor for the good prognosis of patients with gastric cancer, and a negative predictor factor for the chemotherapy efficacy of resectable gastric cancer. MSI-H/dMMR can be used as a marker for predicting the effective treatment outcome of immune checkpoint inhibitors in advanced gastric cancer, however, the predictive role in palliative chemotherapy of advanced gastric cancer is still unclear. This paper reviews the progress of the association of MSI/MMR with prognosis and efficacy prediction in gastric cancer. Key words: Stomach neoplasms; Microsatellite instability; Mismatch repair protein; Prognosis; Efficacy prediction

Objective To investigate the significance of changes of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in neoadjuvant therapy for rectal cancer. Methods The data of 86 patients with rectal cancer who received neoadjuvant therapy from November 2013 to January 2015 in Shanxi Provincial Cancer Hospital were retrospectively analyzed, and the correlations of NLR and PLR changes with the patients' clinicopathological characteristics and therapeutic effects were also analyzed. Results There were 43 cases of increased NLR and 43 cases of increased PLR after treatment. NLR and PLR changes before and after neoadjuvant therapy in patients with rectal cancer were not associated with age, gender, TNM stage, lymph node metastasis, number of cancer nodules, and tumor diameter (all P > 0.05). The increasing proportion of NLR and PLR after treatment in patients with the distance from the tumor to anus 0.05). Conclusion NLR changes are associated with therapeutic efficacy before and after neoadjuvant therapy for patients with rectal cancer.
