Background: OH2 is a genetically engineered oncolytic herpes simplex virus type 2 designed to selectively amplify in tumor cells and express granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor to enhance antitumor immune responses. We investigated the safety, tolerability and antitumor activity of OH2 as single agent or in combination with HX008, an anti-programmed cell death protein 1 antibody, in patients with advanced solid tumors.
Methods: In this multicenter, phase I/II trial, we enrolled patients with standard treatment-refractory advanced solid tumors who have injectable lesions.
Purpose: To evaluate the utility of real-time contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS)-guided coaxial needle biopsies for focal liver lesions (FLL) that were inconspicuous or could not be accurately identified the active site on B-mode ultrasound (US).
Materials And Methods: This prospective study included 76 patients who had CEUS-guided coaxial needle biopsies for FLL between December 2015 and June 2017. We recorded characteristics of target lesions.
Objectives: To assess the value of ultrasonography (US) features for determining the malignant potential of complex cystic lesions.
Methods: Seventy-nine complex cystic lesions were reviewed retrospectively. They were classified into four types according to US features in type I, the masses have a thick outer wall, thick internal septa, or both; in type II, the masses are an intracystic type with one or more discrete solid mural lesions within a cyst; in type III, the masses contain mixed cystic and solid components and are at least 50% cystic portion in a mass; in type IV, there are predominantly (at least 50%) solid masses with eccentric or central cystic foci.
