重视直肠癌术后局部复发的防治

直肠癌术后局部复发是临床关注的重点与难点问题。术前准确分期、评估,选择合理治疗方案和术式,是防治局部复发的先决条件。手术遵循全直肠系膜切除(TME)原则,保证断端切缘和环周切缘完整、无癌细胞残留是防治局部复发的关键。新辅助治疗可降低T3、T4期直肠癌局部复发率。发挥直肠癌多学科综合治疗模式优势对防治直肠癌局部复发有重要作用。     

癌症化疗患者护患沟通环节流程化模式初探

在癌症化疗患者的整体护理中,护患沟通较之躯体护理更具挑战性,表现为沟通难做、效果难评、学生难带、绩效难考。作者尝试一种模式,把护患沟通的各环节工作流程化、任务表格化,即首先按精心设计的流程及内容完成针对性调查,找出影响与患者沟通的有关因素及患者最为关注的问题,针对性地运用各种沟通技巧逐一沟通,实现护患沟通的个体化和差异化,同时使护患沟通环节工作有模式、效果有评价、教学有路径、考核有标准。     

Group climate in an open-ended cancer support group

A number of well-described, controlled studies assessing cancer support group intervention support their effectiveness. All of these experimental groups have been close-ended and typically involve six to eight weekly sessions. Because many cancer patients are unable or unwilling to participate in closed, extended-session groups, there is particular need for analysis of the effectiveness of short-term, open-ended groups. Additionally, objective measures are needed to delineate the factors contributing to a successful outcome in cancer support groups. We used the Short Form of the Group Climate Questionnaire (GCQ-S) to characterize 23 sessions in an open-ended, short-term, Veterans Hospital based cancer support group. The cancer group scored significantly lower on the Avoiding and Conflict dimensions (p<.001) compared to a normative psychotherapy group sample. There was no difference on the Engaged dimension. This pilot study suggests that a cancer support group in this setting can create an environment where members are cohesive and take responsibility for their own change process, while keeping interpersonal conflict to a minimum. Based on these preliminary findings, we encourage controlled clinical trials examining the efficacy of open-ended cancer support groups.At the time of this study, Dr. Daroff was a resident in Psychiatry, University of California, San Francisco.     

Case Report—Loyalty, Legacy, and Ledger: Contextual Therapy in a Patient with a Family History of Ovarian Cancer

A client's emotional experiences and reactions to those experiences are influenced by his/her family of origin and direct or indirect interactions with various family members. Contextual therapists propose that a client's satisfaction with a relationship depends on the equity of his/her emotional interactions with family members. When relationships are inequitable, trust between individuals disintegrates. In order to reestablish trust in a relationship, a balance of interests must be restored. If not, imbalances may be passed down to future generations. A case of a woman with a family history of ovarian cancer is reviewed with the principles of contextual therapy in mind. In her family, several legacies have resulted in unbalanced relationships between family members that lead to difficulty in establishing trust within the genetic counseling session.     

Psychoeducational Interventions with Pediatric Cancer Patients: Part II. Effects of Information and Skills Training on Health-Related Outcomes

In Part I of this paper, we described a model that was used as a framework for reviewing studies of psychoeducational interventions intended to influence illness- and treatment-related behaviors and attitudes in pediatric cancer patients. In Part II, we distinguish between interventions that attempt to influence patients' behaviors just by providing information and interventions that specifically teach skills related to the behaviors they are trying to change. Many types of psychoeducational interventions appear to be effective and those that are training-based generally appear more effective than those that are information-based. Training-based interventions may face a barrier to wide adoption because they are resource-costly, but the development of digital-based training interventions may potentially overcome this barrier.     

应用分子靶向治疗的时机选择

分子靶向药物的出现显示出肿瘤治疗传统模式的重要进展。与传统放疗、化疗相比,分子靶向治疗因其特异性高、不良反应轻微,在恶性肿瘤个体化治疗中扮演重要角色。十五年来,分子靶向药物的出现,给肿瘤的治疗模式带来重大改变,也给临床医生带来新的挑战。准确把握分子靶向药物应用时机,获得最大临床效果,已成为肿瘤治疗领域关注热点。本文就非小细胞肺癌、消化系统肿瘤、乳腺癌、肾癌治疗中分子靶向药物如何选择应用时机进行阐述。     

LKB1蛋白在食管鳞癌组织中的表达及意义

为了探讨肝激酶B1（LKB1）蛋白在食管鳞癌组织中的表达水平及其与食管鳞癌临床特征及生存期的关系,应用免疫组化方法检测120例食管鳞癌患者组织中LKB1蛋白表达情况并对诸多临床特征进行相关性分析研究,发现LKB1蛋白在食管癌旁正常组织的阳性表达率高于癌组织;LKB1蛋白表达与患者年龄、性别、肿瘤部位、病变长度及浸润深度无关而与分化程度、淋巴结转移及临床分期（TNM）相关,且LKB1蛋白阴性组预后较阳性组差.可见LKB1视为抑癌基因影响食管鳞癌的预后,可能成为食管鳞癌新型的临床预后指标之一.     

原发灶切除在转移性乳腺癌治疗中的地位

无论是国内还是世界其他国家,乳腺癌近年来已成为女性常患恶性肿瘤之首。早期乳腺癌通过手术、化疗、放疗及内分泌治疗等综合治疗后可以达到长期生存。然而对于晚期乳腺癌,特别是伴有远处转移的乳腺癌,疗效却不尽如人意。对于转移性乳腺癌,目前治疗优先选择毒性尽可能小的全身系统性治疗方案;而对于需要缓解症状或避免即将发生并发症（如皮肤溃疡、出血、真菌感染以及疼痛等）的情况可于全身治疗后行相应手术。然而对于转移性乳腺癌是否手术切除原发灶以及是否可从手术中获益,仍然充满争议。     

纳米炭在分化型甲状腺癌再手术中应用价值的研究

探讨在分化型甲状腺癌（DTC）再手术中应用纳米炭对甲状旁腺保护和引导颈淋巴结清扫的作用与价值。选取2011年2月至2014年2月湖南省人民医院乳腺甲状腺外科116例D T C再手术患者,随机分为观察组（纳米炭组）64例和对照组52例,试验组在术中先向残余甲状腺或癌灶或肿大淋巴结内注射纳米炭0．1ml～0．3ml不等,对照组不使用纳米炭。观察两组辨别甲状旁腺的个数与准确性,以及在颈淋巴结清扫个数的差异。同时观察两组术后常见并发症有无差异。观察组使再手术的D T C患者的甲状旁腺识别率为92．2％,辨别出3个及以上甲状旁腺比率为75％,均明显高于对照组的28．8％、36．5％,两组比较有显著性差异（ P＜0．05）。中央区与侧颈区淋巴结清扫的个数比较,观察组明显多于对照组（P＜0．05）。观察组不增加术后并发症,而且,其一过性的甲状旁腺功能减退的并发症尚有下降趋势（P＜0．05）。纳米炭对DTC再手术中的甲状旁腺的识别率和区域淋巴结的黑染,使甲状旁腺易于识别和保护,有利于更为彻底清扫中央区和侧颈区淋巴结,尚可降低一过性甲状旁腺功能减退的并发症。     

血管内皮生长因子与结直肠癌的研究

血管内皮生长因子(vascular endothelial growth factor,VEGF)是一高度特异作用于内皮细胞的糖蛋白,是目前发现的最重要的肿瘤血管生长因子之一.结直肠癌的生长、侵袭和转移与血管内皮生长因子有密切的关系,VEGF在结直肠癌治疗中的作用日益突出.本文就VEGF的功能、在结直肠癌中的表达和治疗的作用作一综述.
