MULTIFACTORIAL ANALYSIS OF SURVIVAL IN BREAST CANCER

A multivariate analysis of 617 female patients with primary breast cancer treated by radical mastectomy between 1974 and 1981 was done. All patients were followed for more than five years. Survival was 76.6% and 64.7% at 5 and 10 years, respectively. Eleven clinical and pathological factors were available for study. The data were analysed by Cox's proportional hazards regression model. A final set of five independent significant prognostic factors was obtained. In order of importance they were, clinical stage, age at diagnosis, axillary lymph node status, histologic type and size of the primary tumor. To test the time-varying effect of these factors using Cox's model, all except age reduced their prognostic impact significantly after five years, however, age was a powerful prognostic factor for long-term survival. A prognostic index based on the regression coefficients was constructed. This index can give a better prediction for patients' survival and can be taken as reference when formulating treatment     

ANALYSIS OF VARIABLES AFFECTING SURVIVAL OF PATIENTS WITH ASTRACYTOMAS

Objective: To evaluate the factors that affect the survival of patients with astrocytomas. Methods: We reviewed the clinical and radiological features of 104 patients operated during 1995-2000. The features were evaluated with univariate and multivariate analysis.Results: Univariate statistical analysis revealed that tumor localization, enhancement, edema, tumor invasion, seizure as the first symptom recurrence, edema,tumor invasion, seizure as the first symptom and recurrence of astrocytomas significantly affected the survival, In multivariate analysis four factors showed significant danger to long survival: necrosis,pathological grade, Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS)score before operation, extent of resection. The rest factors appeared to be of no benefit to survival.Conclusion: The important factors that affect the long survival of patients with astrocytomas are necrosis,pathological grade, KPS score before operation and extent of resection.     

COMPARISON BETWEEN YOUNG AND OLD PATIENTS WITH LUNG CANCER

Lung cancer is a common malignancy in China. The majority of cases of lung cancer were diagnosed inpatients more than 40 years old. There are few datacomparing clinical characteristics, disease status,treatment modality of very young (≤40 years) vs very old (≥70 years) patients in China. This study was designed as retrospective review of all lung cancer patients referred to the Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital (SRRSH) over a 6-year period to compare demographic data, disease status, or treatme…

THE ASSOCIATION OF HLA WITH BREAST CANCER AND ITS ER STATUS

Results of comparative study of Human Leu-cocytic Antigen (HLA-A), -B typing in 73 breast cancer (BC) patients having different estrogen receptor (ER) status and 50 healthy individuals in the northern part of China are reported. In 58 of the 73 patients, HLA-C, -DR typing were also studied in addition. The results of this study showed that HLA-Bw61 (40) were negatively associated with BC, while -Cw7 and -DRw6 were positively associated with BC. Moreover, -DR was more closely associated with ER( ) status with a RR value of 8.621. In the ER(-) group, there were no specific related antigens. In the light of the differences in pathology, prognosis and effect of endocrine therapy between ER( ) and ER(-) status, the authors are inclined to the view that the two kinds of breast cancer may be a heterogeneous disease.

TCRb REPERTOIRE IN TIL AND PBL OF PATIENTS WITH COLORECTAL CANCER

It has been demonstrated that T lymphocytes play an important role in anti-tumor immunology[1]. Solid tumors are often characterized by tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) in primary lesions, which in several cases, has been associated with a good prognosis[2]. The activated T cells in PBL can also affect the prognosis of the patients with cancers[3]. It is possible that the TIL can transfer from tumor tissue into the blood circulation. Tumor cells carry the antigenic peptides, but it is …     

COMPARISON OF SERUM TRACE ELEMENT SPECTRUM BETWEEN LIVER CANCER PATIENTS AND HEALTHY ADULTS

The study of the relationship between trace element and health and disease has attracted more and more interests of scientists. As well known there exist complex interaction between the trace elements, and the trace elements and other substances, so the trace element research must be involved to the com-prehensive effect of multifactors, other than single element. We determined the contents of fifteen trace elements in serum from thirty patients with liver cancer and thirty healthy adults by ICP-AES analysis. The obtained data were analysed statistically by not only routine statistical test bat also multi-variate discrimination analysis, multi-variate stepwise regression and non-linear mapping algorithm. It is hoped that it can provide some valuable informations for investigation on relationship betwecn trace elements and cancer.

乳腺癌患者头发中自由基的ESR研究

近３年来，作者利用电子自旋共振波谱技术（ＥＳＲ－ＳＰ），共检测了１０２３例乳腺疾病患者的头发标本。其中乳腺癌２７８例，乳腺良性疾病７４５例，所检头发标本均取自后枕部。１０００个正常人群作为对照。结果表明ＦＳＲ－ＳＰ值对乳腺癌、乳腺良性疾病和对照人群分别为１．７５ｍｗ，２．４２ｍｗ和２．４９ｍｗ，Ｐ值乳腺癌和乳腺良性疾病小于０．０１。作者认为该方法是早期诊断乳腺癌的手段之一。
