beta-Catenin and ras oncogenes detect most human colorectal cancer.

PURPOSE AND STUDY DESIGN: Recent studies have shown that beta-catenin translocated into the cell nucleus functions like an oncogene. Accumulating evidence suggests that activation of the beta-catenin oncogenic signaling cascade along with its twin, the K-ras cascade, may exert syngeneic or synergistic effects on tumor development and progression. In the study reported here, we analyzed oncogenic beta-catenin activation on the basis of its nuclear accumulation (NA) and compared the results with those of mutational activation of K-ras in 74 patients with colorectal cancer to determine whether the two oncogene-mediated signaling cascades interact. RESULTS: We found two distinct patterns of beta-catenin activation, i.e., diffuse NA in 20 cases (27%) and selective NA at the tumor invasion front (NAinv) in 19 cases (26%). The presence of the NAinv pattern was significantly correlated with advanced Dukes' stage tumor (P = 0.0005) and the presence of distant metastases (P = 0.0064). K-ras proto-oncogene was mutated in the tumors of 31 cases (42%). Activated beta-catenin or K-ras was detected in most (78%) colorectal cancers analyzed, although a weak inverse correlation was found between the activities of the two oncogenes in the tumors. Importantly, most (7 of 8) patients with tumor showing both K-ras activation and the NAinv pattern of beta-catenin activation were in Dukes' stage C at surgery, and half of them developed distant metastases to the liver and lungs. CONCLUSION: The results suggest that although oncogenic activation of beta-catenin and K-ras is independent in the process of clinical cancer development, combined analysis of the two major oncogenes can detect most colorectal cancers and identify a subset of patients with poorer outcomes. Consequently, activation of either or both of these oncogenes may serve as a genetic marker for molecular diagnosis.

胸段食管癌三维适形放疗摆位误差研究

Objective To study the setup errors in three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) for thoracic esophageal carcinoma using electronic portal imaging device(EPID) and calculate the margins from CTV to PTV. Methods Forty-one patients with thoracic esophageal carcinoma who received 3DCRT were continuously enrolled into this study. The anterior and lateral electronic portal images (EPI) were aquired by EPID once a week. The setup errors were obtained through comparing the difference between EPI and digitally reconstructed radiographs(DRR). Then the setup margins from CTV to PTV were calculat-ed. By using self paired design,22 patients received definitive radiotherapy with different margins. Group A: the margins were 10 mm in all the three axes;Group B: the margins were aquired in this study. The differ-ence were compared by Paired t-test or Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results The margins from CTV to PTV in x,y and z axes were 8.72 mm, 10.50 mm and 5.62 mm, respectively. Between the group A and group B, the difference of the maximum dose of the spinal cord was significant(4638.7 cGy±1449.6 cGy vs. 4310.2 cGy±1528.7 cGy; t=5.48, P=0.000), and the difference of NTCP for the spinal cord was also significant (4.82%±5.99% vs. 3.64%±4.70%;Z=-2.70,P=0.007). Conclusions For patients with tho-racic esophageal carcinoma who receive 3DCRT in author's department,the margins from CTV to PTV in x, y and z axes were 8.72 mm, 10.50 mm and 5.62 mm, respectively. The spinal cord could be better protected by using these setup margins than using 10 mm in each axis.

胸骨后甲状腺肿物的手术处理

为探讨胸骨后甲状腺肿物手术切除的进路方式，回顾性分析３０年来外科治疗的结果。１９６５年至１９９４年间全部患者共８７例，其中结节性甲状腺肿６４例，占７３．６％；甲状腺腺瘤１３例，占１４．９％；甲状腺恶性肿瘤１０例，占１１．５％。通过颈部入路手术切除的占７０％（６１／８７），胸骨正中劈开切除的占１６％（１４／８７），前切口开胸切除的占１４％（１２／８７）。随着经验的积累，除误诊为纵隔其它来源的肿物外，１９８０年以后已不再行前切口开胸手术切除，１９８５年以后的４３例中，只有１例胸骨后结节性甲状腺肿的患者行胸骨劈开手术，其余均从颈部入路手术。由于颈部入路相对并发症少、损伤小、安全可靠，建议对良性的胸骨后甲状腺肿物和部分恶性肿物行颈部衣领式切口手术。
