Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for the treatment of high-risk hepatocellular carcinoma (hHCC) patients. Methods: Between January 2014 and August 2022, a total of 1765 consecutive patients with hHCC who underwent initial intraarterial therapies were reviewed and divided into a TACE group (n, 507) and a HAIC group (n, 426). The study used propensity score matching (PSM) to reduce selectivity bias. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were compared using Kaplan- Meier curves with the Log rank test. The objective response rate (ORR), conversion surgery rate (CSR) adverse event (AE) comparison and subgroup analysis were performed between the two groups. Results: After PSM 1:1, 444 patients were divided into two groups. The patients with hHCC who received HAIC had higher median PFS (6.1 vs 3.3 months, P < 0.001) and OS (10.3 vs 8.2 months, P=0.303) than TACE. Higher ORR (24.8% vs 11.7%) and CSR (15.5% vs 8.9%) were found in the HAIC group than in the TACE group (both P < 0.05). The incidence of grade 3/4 AE was 23.9% and 8.1% in the TACE and HAIC groups, respectively. The subgroup analysis suggest that HAIC appeared to particularly benefit patients with tumor diameter of more than 10 centimeters (hazard ratio [HR], 0.6; 95% CI, 0.47-0.77; p, 0.00) and PVTT Vp4 (HR, 0.56; 95% CI, 0.39-0.8; P, 0.01) for PFS outperforming TACE. Conclusion: HAIC can provide better disease control for hHCC than cTACE, with a comparable long-term OS and safety.

Received: 18 July 2017 Revised: 5 August 2017 Accepted: 25 August 2017 Objective Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a heterogeneous disease in which both epigenetic alterations and gene mutations transform normal cells into cancer cells. Apart from a variety of standard treatments, there are few options available to improve a CRC patient’s overall survival (OS) and quality of a life. The objective of the present retrospective study was to analyze the response and toxicity associated with apatinib in patients with metastatic CRC (mCRC). Method Data on the use of apatinib as salvage therapy were collected from patients diagnosed with mCRC, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 3, from the Luhe Hospital. A total of 17 patients with stage IV unresectable mCRC, who received at least one cycle of apatinib, between October 2015 and February 2017, were involved in this study. Our primary endpoints were the overall response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR), and the secondary objectives were progression-free survival (PFS), OS and safety. Result Seventeen patients with a median age of 62 years (34–83 years) were enrolled. Twelve patients were male, and the location of the primary tumor was in the colon and the rectum in 9 and 8 patients, respectively. Liver metastasis was observed in 9 patients and lung metastasis in 5. The ECOG performance status was 0 to 2 in 13 patients. The ORR at the first evaluation was 17.6 % (3/17). The DCR was 82.4% (14/17). The median PFS was 3.0 months (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.924–4.076 months) and the median OS was 5.4 months (95% CI: 3.383–7.417 months). Grade 1–2 adverse events included hypertension (52.9%), fatigue (64.7%), anorexia (29.4%), hoarseness (23.5%), proteinuria (23.5%), and development of rashes (17.6%). Grade 3 adverse events included thrombocytopenia (5.9%) and proteinuria (5.9%). There were no Grade 4 adverse events in our analysis. Conclusions Apatinib was found to be both safe and effective in the treatment of advanced mCRC, and its associated toxicities were acceptable and manageable. However, further studies are required to validate these findings.
With the increasing incidence of malignant tumor, different patients may see their doctor in different clinical departments due to their symptoms. The clinicians should master the basic knowledge of common tumors and the treatment principle, so that more patients with malignant tumor can be timely diagnosis and treatment, reduce the incidence of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis. Currently, more and more standardized training of residents rotate in department of oncology. Under integrative medicine mode, our hospital carry out the multidisciplinary collaboration mode and strengthen the close cooperation between departments, and we choose different diseases in clinical teaching. Each of specialized subject works together. We wish it can makes students learn more about tumor specialized knowledge and makes their clinical thinking expanded and makes their interest in learning increased and makes the quality of teaching improved.
