One-hundred patients treated for gallbladder carcinoma in the years 1970-1986 are described. They accounted for 2.63% of all patients treated surgically for diseases of the gallbladder and bile ducts. Coexistence of carcinoma and cholelithiasis was found in 76% of cases. In 64 cases only exploratory laparotomy was done and biopsy was done for histological examination, since the progression of the tumour precluded any radical operation. In 15 cases cholecystectomy was done and in the remaining 21 patients palliative procedures were done. In the perioperative period 17 patients died. Information on the length of survival time was obtained in 43 cases. It was longest in cases in which the degree of progression of the tumour was classified into stages I and II after Nevin. Six patients are alive 7 months to 8 years after the operation. The authors think that the methods for improvement of the results of surgical treatment should be sought in prevention of this carcinoma that is early surgical treatment of cholelithiasis.

Department of Ultrasonic Intervention, Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital, Second Military Medical University (Naval Medical University), Shanghai, China.
Background: This study investigated the clinical efficacy and prognostic factors of ablative treatment in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with and without diabetes mellitus (DM).
Methods: Retrospective data were collected from HCC patients who underwent ablation between January 2016 and December 2019. The baseline clinicopathological characteristics and long-term outcomes, such as overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS), were compared between those with and without DM.

Background: Pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma (PSC) is a rare lung cancer characterized by early metastasis and invasion. It is predominantly diagnosed at a locally advanced or metastatic stage, hindering the possibility of surgical intervention. However, a standard treatment for advanced PSC remains unestablished.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide. The mechanisms underlying metastasis, which contributes to poor outcomes, remain elusive.
Methods: We used the Cancer Genome Atlas dataset to compare mRNA expression patterns of integrin α6 (ITGA6) and integrin β4 (ITGB4) in patients with CRC.
Clinical features and prognosis analysis of stage III/IV patients with lung cancer after treatment with toripalimab: A real-world retrospective.
J Cancer Res Ther
December 2024
Medical Integration and Practice Center, Cheeloo College of Medicine, Shandong University, Jinan, China.
Aim: Toripalimab is the first antitumor programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) antibody approved in China. For better patient management, it is important to understand the real-world outcomes of toripalimab in treating patients with lung cancer in the real world outside of clinical trials to improve patient care.
Methods: We retrospectively examined the clinical data of 80 patients with lung cancer who received the PD-1 inhibitor (toripalimab).
Percutaneous irreversible electroporation of renal cell carcinomas in an acquired solitary kidney: A primary study.

Department of Interventional Radiology, Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai JiaoTong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China.
Objective: To evaluate the postoperative complications and prognosis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in a solitary kidney after irreversible electroporation (IRE).
Materials And Methods: A total of 8 patients with 9 RCCs in a solitary kidney treated with computed tomography (CT)-guided IRE from February 2017 to September 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Follow-up included contrast-enhanced CT or magnetic resonance imaging examinations at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and each year after IRE and the evaluation of the incidence of postoperative complications, renal function changes, local tumor recurrence, and metastasis.
