RESUMO
Clinical studies have established the clinical application of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) adjuvant targeted therapy. Compared with chemotherapy, the high efficiency and low toxicity of targeted therapy increases the survival benefit of patients. Icotinib was the first EGFR-TKI with independent intellectual property rights in China and the third EGFR-TKI to be marketed in the world. In order to summarize the experience of icotinib and other EGFR-TKIs in the adjuvant treatment of non-small cell lung cancer and further standardize and guide the clinical application of icotinib, experts from the China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care and the Guangdong Association of Thoracic Diseases have organized an expert consensus on the adjuvant treatment of non-small cell lung cancer with icotinib, which is expected to provide clinicians with evidence-based medical evidences for postoperative targeted drug using.

RESUMO
Objective To compare the efficacy between different modalities in the treatment of positive lymph nodes after radical resection for squamous cell carcinoma of thoracic esophagus(TESCC),and to explore the best treatment mode. The Kaplan?Meier method was used to calculate survival rates. The log-rank test and Cox model were used for univariate and multivariate prognostic analyses,respectively. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed among 548 patients with TESCC who were admitted to our hospital and had positive lymph nodes after radical resection. The efficacy of different treatment methods was evaluated. Propensity scores(PSM)were used to make 1-to-1 patient matching between different treatment groups to further analyze and figure out the best treatment model for patients. The Kaplan?Meier method was used to calculate the overall survival(OS)and disease-free survival(DFS)rates. The log-rank test was used for survival analysis and univariate prognostic analysis. The Cox regression model was used for multivariate prognostic analysis. Results In all patients,the 1-,3-,and 5-year OS rates were 79.9%, 38.1% and 28.5%,respectively,while the 1-,3-,and 5-year DFS rates were 68.5%,39.8% and 32.5%, respectively. After 1-to-1 matching based on PSM,there were no differences in general clinical pathological data between the four groups. After PSM,there were significant differences in 1-,3-,and 5-year OS and DFS rates between the surgery alone group,the postoperative radiotherapy group,the postoperative chemotherapy group,and the postoperative chemoradiotherapy(POCRT)group(P=0.000,0.000).There were significant differences in OS and DFS rates between patients with stage N1,N2,and N3disease(P=0.000,0.000).The result of the Cox multivariate analysis showed that treatment method and N staging were two independent prognostic factors for OS and DFS(P=0.001,0.000,0.025,0.016). Conclusions Patients with positive lymph nodes after radical resection for TESCC have a poor prognosis. Moreover,the prognosis becomes worse with the increase in metastatic lymph nodes. POCRT may improve the survival in those patients. Prospective studies are needed to further confirm those conclusions.
RESUMO
Objective:To evaluate the effect of postoperative adjuvant therapy on patients with locally advanced pathologic T3N0M0 (pT3N0M0)esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC).Methods:In this retrospective study,we evaluated patients who underwent esophagectomy at Lanzhou University Second Hospital.Patients were divided into 4 groups:surgery-alone(S),surgery+radiotherapy group(S+RT),surgery+chemotherapy(S+CT),and surgery+chemoradiotherapy(S+CRT)groups.Both the clinicopathologic informa-tion and the long-term follow-up results were analyzed.Results:From January 2010 to April 2014,a total of 177 patients with a medi-an age of 61 years(range 43-78),were enrolled into the study.Among them,79 received surgery alone;the remaining 98 patients re-ceived adjuvant therapy,of whom 28 patients received adjuvant radiotherapy,38 received adjuvant chemotherapy,and 32 received ad-juvant chemoradiotherapy.Overall survival and disease-free survival were better in Group S+Adjuvant than in Group S(P=0.012,P=0.007,respectively).Comparisons among the four groups showed that the overall survival was higher in Group S+CRT than in Group S (P=0.031).Group S+RT was associated with better overall survival and disease-free survival than Group S(P=0.038,P=0.011,respec-tively).Conclusions:Patients with pT3N0M0 ESCC could benefit from adjuvant radiotherapy and chemoradiotherapy,as radiotherapy could help achieve better locoregional control.

RESUMO
Thyroid cancer is an indolent condition that usually presents as a limited disease in the neck. Invasion to vital organs is rarely observed; however, it can be a major cause of mortality, even in well-differentiated thyroid cancers. The common sites of local invasion are strap muscle, recurrent laryngeal nerve, laryngo-tracheal tree, esophagus, and great vessels in the lateral compartment and mediastinum. Uncontrolled invasion to vital organs in the neck and mediastinum can cause significant morbidity and affect quality of life and survival. Limited involvement of the aero-digestive tract can be controlled by conservative surgical treatments such as shaving-off procedures, while radical resection and subsequent reconstructive procedures are the best choice for more serious cases. In planning the treatment, the risk-benefit ratio should be carefully evaluated to reduce the morbidity, as well as achieve maximal therapeutic effects. Postoperative adjuvant therapies have been the subject of controversy, but there is a general consensus, especially for high-risk patients, that radioiodine therapy and TSH suppression after radical resection are beneficial. The benefits of external beam radiation therapy are unclear, but it should be considered in patients with microscopic residual disease. In conclusion, radical eradication of lesions followed by proper adjuvant therapy is the treatment of choice for locally advanced thyroid cancers.

Thyroid carcinoma is a slowly growing tumor and rarely invades adjacent tissues or organs. However, up to 21% of the patients with well-differentiated thyroid cancers show local invasion, and of those 10 to 15% of patients with papillary cancer who eventually die of the disease, active local disease has been the most common finding at the time of death. The common sites of local invasion are strap muscle, recurrent laryngeal nerve, laryngotracheal tree, esophagus, and great vessels in the lateral compartment and mediastinum. Uncontrolled local invasion to vital organs in the neck causes significant morbidity, affects the quality of life, and finally influences the survival. In cases with limited involvement of the larynx or trachea, the option of treatment includes limited shaving-off resection or radical resection followed by reconstructive procedures. When operation is planned, the level of acceptable morbidity and the achievement of therapeutic outcomes should be determined in advance. In cases with aggressive invasion to the adjacent tissues, radical resection is the treatment modality of choice with favorable prognosis. Postoperative adjuvant therapies have been the matter of controversy, however, there is a general consensus, especially for the high-risk patients, that radioiodine therapy and TSH suppression after radical resection are beneficial. The benefits of external radiation therapy in locally advanced thyroid cancers are unclear, however, it can be effective in patients with microscopic residual disease postoperatively. Radical eradication of locally advanced thyroid carcinoma followed by appropriate adjuvant therapy should be considered to be the treatment of choice in locally advanced thyroid cancers.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of postoperative adjuvant therapy was evaluated in preventing treatment failure occurring after primary treatment with surgery in early invasive cervical cancer patients associated with histopathologic high risk factors such as lymph node metastasis, either macroscopic or microscopic, parametrial extension, lymphovascular permeation and depth of invasion >or=10 mm. METHODS: Postoperative adjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy (PCCRT), postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy (PCT) or postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy (PRT) alone was administered to the 80 early invasive cervical cancers with at least one of the high risk factors. Each of 61 patients was received three to six cycles of chemotherapy at about 3-weeks intervals. For squamous cell carcinoma, cisplatin 100 mg/m2 IV, or paraplatin 350 mg/m2 IV was infused followed by 5-FU 1000 mg/m2 IV infusion for 5 days. Twenty three patients were treated with PCCRT, 38 patients were treated with PCT alone. And 19 patients received PRT. RESULTS: The five-year survival rate of patients with macroscopic metastasis was 66.7% and 35.7%, in PCCRT and PRT, respectively. With microscopic lymph node metastasis, the 5-year survival rate was 83.3%, 60.0%, and 70.1% in PCCRT, PCT and PRT, respectively. With parametrial extension, the 5-year survival rate was 58.1% in PCCRT. The five-year survival rate of patients with lymphovascular permeation was 100%, 90.9% and 66.7% in PCCRT, PCT and PRT, respectively. With depth of invasion >or=10 mm, the 5-year survival rate was 100% and 91.3%, in PCCRT and PCT, respectively. CONCLUSION: PCCRT appears to be superior to PRT or PCT alone in early invasive cervical cancer patients with histopathologic high risk factors.
