Article Synopsis
- Hemorrhage is a common complication in gastric cancer patients, potentially leading to worse outcomes, but its effect on chemotherapy effectiveness has not been studied before.
- This study analyzed advanced or metastatic gastric and gastroesophageal junction cancer patients to see how overt bleeding (OB) impacts survival rates and treatment-related side effects.
- Results showed similar disease control rates and treatment-related adverse events for patients with and without overt bleeding before treatment, but those with bleeding after treatment had a worse median overall survival than those without bleeding.*
Objectives: To analyze the survival outcomes of the surgery for colorectal cancer with liver metastases (CRCLM), and study the mode of multi-disciplinary team (MDT) for CRCLM.
Methods: The retrospective analysis was conducted for 38 patients with CRCLM received MDT management and surgical treatment from January 2009 to August 2011. The peri-operative and survival outcomes of MDT and surgery were evaluated.
To investigate the late effects of radiation on child-bearing women, a follow-up study was performed on a 39-year-old survivor 16 years after a (60)Co radiation accident. The woman, Fang, was 19 weeks pregnant at the time of exposure. Physical examinations, a full range of clinical laboratory and imaging tests, as well as cytogenetic analyses were conducted to evaluate Fang's current health conditions.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is now regarded as the most common cause of cancer-related mortality in China. Despite continuous efforts to improve the therapeutic response, the overall five-year survival rate for NSCLC is still less than 15%. Now we have known that the growth of neoplastic tumors is maintained exclusively by a small subpopulation called "cancer stem cells" which posseses ability of self-renew and differentiation.
