Sentinel lymph node biopsy for 102 patients with primary cutaneous melanoma at a single Japanese institute

Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is a widely accepted standard procedure for patients with clinically localized melanoma. Melanoma prevalence and Clark's subtype differ between Asians and Caucasians. Here, we evaluated our experience on SLNB for cutaneous melanoma in a Japanese population. SLNB was performed for patients with melanoma between July 2000 and June 2014. We retrospectively analyzed 102 patients regarding association of clinicopathological features with sentinel lymph node (SLN) status, melanoma‐specific survival (MSS) and disease‐free survival (DFS). A positive SLN was significantly associated with primary Breslow thickness. Compared with 43 patients with negative SLN, 59 patients with positive SLN had significantly shorter MSS (5‐year survival rate, 94.3% vs 63.2%; P = 0.0002) and DFS (5‐year survival rate, 92.7% vs 63.4%; P = 0.0004). According to our subgroup analyses, nine patients with positive non‐SLN had significantly shorter MSS compared with 32 patients with negative non‐SLN (5‐year survival rate, 32.4% vs 68.5%; P = 0.0273). The survival of 51 Japanese patients with acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM) was not inferior to the survival of patients with other Clark's subtype. Breslow thickness is an important factor for both MSS and DFS, and the status of SLN is the most predictive prognostic factor in Japanese patients with clinically localized melanomas, as in case of Caucasians. Features of ALM may be different between Asians and Caucasians.

Risk communication in a patient decision aid for radiotherapy in breast cancer: How to deal with uncertainty?

Background and aimPatient decision aids for oncological treatment options, provide information on the effect on recurrence rates and/or survival benefit, and on side-effects and/or burden of different treatment options. However, often uncertainty exists around the probability estimates for recurrence/survival and side-effects which is too relevant to be ignored. Evidence is lacking on the best way to communicate these uncertainties. The aim of this study is to develop a method to incorporate uncertainties in a patient decision aid for breast cancer patients to support their decision on radiotherapy.MethodsFirstly, qualitative interviews were held with patients and health care professionals. Secondly, in the development phase, thinking aloud sessions were organized with four patients and 12 health care professionals, individual and group-wise.ResultsConsensus was reached on a pictograph illustrating the whole range of uncertainty for local recurrence risks, in combination with textual explanation that a more exact personalized risk would be given by their own physician. The pictograph consisted of 100 female icons in a 10 x 10 array. Icons with a stepwise gradient color indicated the uncertainty margin. The prevalence and severity of possible side-effects were explained using verbal labels.ConclusionsWe developed a novel way of visualizing uncertainties in recurrence rates in a patient decision aid. The effect of this way of communicating risk uncertainty is currently being tested in the BRASA study (NCT03375801).     

WT1基因与急性髓系白血病的预后及主动特异性免疫治疗的研究进展

WT1基因位于人类染色体11p13，在80%的急性髓系白血病（acute myeloid leukemia，AML）患者中高表达，是AML预后不良的分子标志，可作为AML预后评估和微小残留病变（minimal residual disease，MRD）监测的有效指标。由于WT1在AML中均有异常高表达，故认为是一种AML抗原，可作为特异性免疫治疗的新靶点。一些小规模的临床试验证实以WT1为靶点的免疫治疗是有效的、安全的，这些免疫治疗可作为那些有高危复发风险及初始标准化疗失败的AML患者的辅助治疗。本文就近几年WT1与AML的预后及有关以WT1为靶点的主动特异性免疫治疗的研究进展予以综述。     

慢性Ⅳ型前列腺炎患者血PSA的变化

目的:探讨无症状性前列腺炎(NIH-IV)对血PSA的影响。方法:选择常规体检男性242例,慢性前列腺炎症状评分(CPSI)指数评分<8分。患者前列腺指诊及尿液分析未见异常,检查前先抽血查PSA,取前列腺按摩液(EPS)行白细胞计数,评估Ⅳ型前列腺炎发病情况,比较Ⅳ型前列腺炎及对照组的血PSA水平,并分析Ⅳ型前列腺炎患者EPS中白细胞的数目与PSA升高的相关性。结果:在242例体检男性中,Ⅳ型前列腺炎的发病率为34.3%(83/242)。Ⅳ型前列腺炎组与对照组间的年龄、前列腺体积差异无统计学意义(P>0.05),而PSA在Ⅳ型前列腺炎组为(2.88±2.60)μg/L,显著高于对照组(1.59±1.76)μg/L(P<0.05)。Ⅳ型前列腺炎组中PSA≥4μg/L的比例为13.3%(11/83),而对照组中PSA≥4μg/L的比例为4.4%(7/159),两者差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。Ⅳ型前列腺炎患者EPS中白细胞数目多少与PSA的高低并无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论:Ⅳ型前列腺炎亦是血PSA升高的原因之一。     

对血清蛋白白球比值参考范围的修改及其临床应用

目的探讨血清蛋白白球比值(A／G)的参考范围和A／G在计算过程中产生的误差对临床应用的影响。方法①选取健康查体人员统计其A／G参考范围；②从理论上分析A／G计算误差的存在。结果①以统计结果的2s置信区间作为A／G的参考范围是1.1～2.2；②A／G计算值的误差会远大于相应总蛋白和白蛋白的测定误差。结论A／G较合适的参考范围为1.1～2.2,并且在临床应用中仍可根据实际情况降低其范围的下限。
