Methods： Clinical data of 30 patients with persistent or recurrent SCC of the cervix within one year after CCRT between July 2006 and July 2011 were analyzed retrospectively： These data were compared with those of 35 SCC cases with no signs of recurrence after complete remission. These 35 patients were treated during the same period （between 2,006 and Z011） and selected randomly. Results： Among these 30 patients, 25 exhibited distant metastases of which 14 were observed within 6 months after CCRT. Univariate analysis showed higher incidence of pelvic or para-aortic lymphadenectasis and SCC-ag 〉 10 ng/mL in the group with persistent or recurrent disease before treatment （P〈0.01）. Multivariate analysis by logistic regression revealed that the pre-therapeutic pelvic or para-aortic lymph node enlargement and SCC-ag 〉 10 ng/mL were the independent risk factors. Palliative chemotherapy was the main treatment option for patients with persistent or recurrent disease. The 2-year survival rate was 21.7%, and the median survival time was 17 months. Conclusion： Patients with persistent or recurrent SCC of the cervix after CCRT exhibited a high rate of distant metastasis with poor prognosis. The pre-therapeutic pelvic or para-aortic lymph node enlargement and SCC-ag 〉10 ng/mL were identified as the independent risk factors for persistent or recurrent SCC within i year after CCRT.展开更多

Methods: This is an observational, descriptive, retrospective study based on the review of the results of the biopsies of patients with HPV lesions at a single large tertiary hospital, Hospital Clínico San Carlos, in Madrid, Spain. We have collected the data from three different time periods: 2002-2006, 2009-2011, 2020-2021 to try to understand the potential changes in these lesions after vaccine introduction. Results: In this time we have reviewed the data from 946 women. In these three periods, a decreasing trend in the rate of squamous cell carcinoma was noted, the rate of adenocarcinoma remains stable, and the rate of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grades 2 - 3 (CIN 2-3) lesions shows an increasing trend. We have also found a change in the mean ages of the patients with these lesions, as this increased in the three lesions caused by HPV after the implementation of the vaccine. Our study indicates that the identification of other high risk serotypes, apart from 16 and 18, as well as those with indeterminate risk, has undergone a progressive increase, increasing from 24.24% and 14.11% respectively in 2002-2006 to 40.42% and 28.34% in 2020-2021. Conclusion: Our study confirms the effectiveness of the vaccines developed so far, against the HPV serotypes they contain. This is demonstrated by the evidence, in our population, of a decrease in the incidence of squamous cell carcinoma in uterine cervix. In parallel, an increase in the mean age of diagnosis has been verified, for both squamous cell carcinoma and its CIN 2-3 precursor lesions, as well as a change in the infective trend of HPV serotypes that are not included in the current vaccines.展开更多

A total of 500 patients from our hospital with ASC-US or LSIL based on cytology testing were subjected to HPV DNA and HPV E6/E7 mRNA quantitative analysis.Results: The specificity of the HPV E6/E7 mRNA test for detecting ≥high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion(HSIL+) was statistically higher than that of the HPV DNA test(61.3% vs. 40.0%, P< 0.05), whereas there was no significant difference in the sensitivity of HPV E6/E7 mRNA test and HPV DNA test(90.0% vs. 95.0%, P > 0.05). The positive rates of HPV in the participants tested by HPV E6/E7 mRNA and HPV DNA were, respectively, 42.8%(214/500) and 62.8%(314/500), with statistical significance(P < 0.05).Conclusions: The HPV E6/E7 mRNA test was slightly less sensitivity than that of the HPV DNA test for diagnosing HSIL+ in patients with ASC-US and LSIL, but the difference was not significant, although the specificity of the former was significantly higher. HPV E6/E7 mRNA detection can effectively reduce overdiagnosis and overtreatment of patients with ASC-US and LSIL and has important clinical value in triage of patients with ASC-US and LSIL.展开更多

C4.4A, a member of the Ly6/uP AR family of membrane proteins, qualifies as such a potential informative biomarker in non-small cell lung cancer. Under normal physiological conditions, it is primarily expressed in suprabasal layers of stratified squamous epithelia. Consequently, it is absent from healthy bronchial and alveolar tissue, but nevertheless appears at early stages in the progression to invasivecarcinomas of the lung, i.e., in bronchial hyperplasia/metaplasia and atypical adenomatous hyperplasia. In the stages leading to pulmonary squamous cell carcinoma, expression is sustained in dysplasia, carcinoma in situ and invasive carcinomas, and this pertains to the normal presence of C4.4A in squamous epithelium. In pulmonary adenocarcinomas, a fraction of cases is positive for C4.4A, which is surprising, given the origin of these carcinomas from mucin-producing and not squamous epithelium. Interestingly, this correlates with a highly compromised patient survival and a predominant solid tumor growth pattern. Circumstantial evidence suggests an inverse relationship between C4.4A and the tumor suppressor LKB1. This might provide a link to the prognostic impact of C4.4A in patients with adenocarcinomas of the lung and could potentially be exploited for predicting the efficacy of treatment targeting components of the LKB1 pathway.展开更多
