SALVAGE THERAPY IN PATIENTS WITH UNRESECTABLE HILAR CHOLANGIOCARCINOMA

We describe our methods and outcomes of multidisciplinary treatments in patients with unresectable hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Fifty‐seven patients with a known outcome were enrolled. Thirty‐four of 57 patients were treated and evaluated by salvage therapy. For salvage therapy, we used internal and external radiotherapy, photodynamic therapy, YAG laser therapy and microwave coagulation therapy. The median survival time was 548 days for the group receiving salvage therapy and 198 days for the group not receiving this treatment. In conclusion, although no randomization of the patients was performed in this retrospective study, our present data provide convincing evidence that salvage therapy is a useful therapeutic approach for unresectable hilar cholangiocarcinomas.

nm23-H1基因转染对人胆管癌细胞系QBC939体外浸润能力的影响

目的：探讨nm23-H1基因转染对人胆管癌细胞系QBC939体外浸润能力的影响。方法：将含有全长nm23-H1 cDNA的真核表达载体通过脂腩体法转染人胆管癌细胞系。结果：转染成功的QBC939细胞，其nm23-Hl基因的mRNA、蛋白表达明显增加，转染nm23-H1基因的胆管癌细胞体外浸润能力下降，穿越matrigel的细胞数明显低于亲本QBC939细胞，代表浸润能力的IV型胶原酶（MMP-9）分泌量下降。结论：nm23-Hl基因可以抑制胆管癌细胞的体外浸润能力。     

Lymph Node Dissection Impact on Staging and Survival of Extrahepatic Cholangiocarcinomas,Based on U.S. Population Data

Cholangiocarcinomas (CC) frequently demonstrate lymphatic spread. We investigated lymph node (LN) counts after resection of extrahepatic CC and survival based on the SEER 1973–2004 database. Out of 20,068 CC patients, 1,518 individuals were selected based on M0 stage and at least one LN examined. Primary cancer sites included gallbladder (29%), extrahepatic bile ducts (26%), and intrapancreatic/ampullary bile ducts (45%); 42% of patients were LN-positive. The median number of LNs examined was four (range 1–39). Median survival was 37 months for LN-negative and 16 months for LN-positive cancers. Multivariate prognostic variables were the number of positive LNs, primary site, age (all at p < 0.0001), gender (p = 0.002), size (p = 0.005), T category (p = 0.009), and total LN count (or number of negative LNs obtained, p = 0.01). The impact of total LN counts was seen in LN-negative (median survival, 1 vs 10 or more LNs examined: 27 vs 51 months, p = 0.002) and LN-positive disease (10 vs 22 months, p < 0.0001). Survival prediction of extrahepatic CCs is strongly influenced by total LN counts and numbers of negative LNs obtained. Although the resulting incremental benefit is small, dissection and examination of 10 or more LNs should be considered for curative intent resections.     

肝胆管结石合并胆管癌的诊治

目的 :讨论肝胆管结石合并胆管癌的临床特点和诊治方法。方法 :对 11例肝胆管结石合并胆管癌的临床资料进行回顾性研究。结果 :本组肝胆管结石合并胆管癌的术前确诊率为 18.2 % (2 /11) ;术中冰冻病理检查确诊 2例 ;术后病理证实 7例。肝门胆管癌 72 .7% (8/11) ,中段胆管癌 9.1% (1/11) ,下段胆管癌 18.2 % (2 /11)。肿瘤根治切除率 36 .4 % (4/11) ,姑息性手术 6 3.6 % (7/11)。结论 :提高对本病的认识及详细的术中探查是及早发现胆管癌的重要途径。胆管癌根治性切除明显优于姑息性手术。     

Bcl-2和Bax在胆管癌中的表达及意义

目的　检测 4 9例肝外胆管癌和 10例正常胆管Bcl 2和Bax的表达。方法　免疫组化ABC法。结果　Bcl 2在胆管癌中阳性表达 (48.98% )显著高于正常胆管 (10 .0 0 % ) (P <0 .0 5 ) ;高、中分化胆管癌Bcl 2阳性表达显著高于低分化癌 (P <0 .0 5 ) ;胆管癌Bax阳性表达 (5 3.0 6 % )与正常胆管 (80 .0 0 % )相比无统计学意义 (P >0 .0 5 ) ,正常胆管Bax阳性表达显著高于Bcl 2阳性表达 (P<0 .0 1) ,而胆管癌中Bcl 2与Bax阳性表达无显著性差异 (P >0 .0 5 )。结论　Bcl 2过度表达对胆管癌的发生可能起促进作用 ;胆管癌中Bcl 2低表达可能是预后不良的预测指标之一。     

不同临床和病理分型对肝门部胆管癌切除术预后的影响

目的 研究临床和病理分型与肝门部胆管癌切除术疗效的关系。方法总结1993年至2004年在解放军总医院肝胆外科手术切除的肝门部胆管癌198例病例资料。结果临床分型Ⅰ型34例，Ⅱ型60例，Ⅲa型27例，Ⅲb型33例，Ⅳ型19例，Ⅴa型6例。Ⅴb型19例。病理高分化腺癌35例，中分化腺癌52例，低分化腺癌54例，三者的中位生存期分别为29．5、11、5．5个月；病理切缘阴性者与切缘阳性者生存率有显著性差异（P 〈0．05）。手术并发症出现率41．4％，围手术期死亡1例。结论肝门部胆管癌根据临床分型进行相应的手术治疗；病理切缘阴性是影响预后的主要因素之一；围手术期正确处理，是减少手术并发症，提高患者生活质量和延长生存期的关键。     

肝内胆管癌的诊断与治疗(附12例报告)

目的探讨肝内胆管癌发病的诊治方法。方法对我院1990年1月至2003年3月经手术和病理证实的12例肝内胆管癌病例资料进行回顾性分析。结果早期症状无特异性，AFP检查均为阴性，血CEA检查升高显著3例，4例术前诊断为肝内胆管癌，8例误诊，本组行根治性切除5例(41．6％)，姑息性手术7例。结论肝内胆管癌误诊率高，根治性手术率低，熟悉本病的临床特征，B超检查仍是首选方法。术中病理学检查是避免误诊漏诊的重要方法，根治性手术切除是本病最有效的治疗方法。     

伴神经浸润的肝门部胆管癌的病理和临床分析

目的总结伴神经浸润的肝门部胆管癌的临床病理类型、手术方式,探讨伴神经浸润的肝门部胆管癌治疗方法及远期存活率。方法对1993年1月至2004年12月收治的311例肝门部胆管癌(神经浸润组89例、无神经浸润组222例)的临床病理及随访资料进行回顾性分析。结果神经浸润是肝门部胆管癌的一种重要转移方式。伴神经浸润组的89例肝门部胆管癌的1、3、5年存活率分别为65.59%、22.71%、14.83%,无神经浸润组的222例肝门部胆管癌的1、3、5年存活率分别为80.62%、35.14%、24.98%,无神经浸润组存活率明显高于神经浸润组(P=0.037)。结论肿瘤的分化程度、手术方式是影响预后的重要因素。根治性切除是目前较理想的治疗方式。伴神经浸润的肝门部胆管癌患者的预后较差,远期疗效仍无显著改善,根治性切除术可望改善其预后。     

肝内胆管细胞癌的CT表现

目的分析胆管细胞癌的CT表现,提高对胆管细胞癌的认识。方法回顾性分析经病理证实的21例胆管细胞癌的CT表现。结果CT平扫所有病例均为单发低密度灶。CT增强扫描21例不均匀轻度强化,其中4例出现大片无强化低密度区,部分边缘强化,2例病灶延迟强化,17例肝内胆管扩张。结论CT是胆管细胞癌的重要影像检查方法,不均匀强化病灶内可见胆管扩张是胆管细胞癌的重要征象。
