“…If similar prognostic factors were investigated by different means, they were combined for the level of evidence analysis. For instance, the prognostic factor Performance status was assessed by means of the Karnofsky score [15] or the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group score [16]. Other combined prognostic factors were Neurologic deficit; consisting of the Frankel score [17] and ambulatory status, as well as the variable Primary tumor; consisting of several different sub classifications.…”

Results After screening, 142 full-text articles were obtained, of which 22 met the eligibility criteria. A total of 43 different prognostic factors were investigated in the included studies, of which 17 were relevant to pre-treatment survival estimation. The prognostic factors most frequently associated with survival were the primary tumor and the performance status. The prognostic factors most frequently not associated with survival were age, gender, number and location of the SBM and the presence of a pathologic fracture. Conclusions Prognostication for patients with SBM should be based on an accurate primary tumor classification, combined with a performance score. The benefit of adding other prognostic factors is doubtful.

“…Simon's two-stage design (WHO handbook, 1979) was used to calculate the sample size for clinical response evaluation. The objective response was classified according to the ECOG criteria (Oken et al, 1982). Complete response (CR) was defined as the normalisation of tumour markers and the disappearance of all tumours and portal vein thrombosis on CT and/or MRI.…”

Treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma with major portal vein thrombosis by combined therapy with subcutaneous interferon-α and intra-arterial 5-fluorouracil; role of type 1 interferon receptor expression

We previously reported the beneficial effects of combination therapy of interferon (IFN)-a/5-fluorouracil (FU) for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with tumour thrombi in the major portal branches. This report describes the results of longer follow-up and includes more than double the number of patients relative to the original report, and evaluates the role of IFN-a/type 2 interferon receptor (IFNAR2) expression on the response to the combination therapy. The study subjects were 55 patients with advanced HCC and tumour thrombi in the major branches of the portal vein (Vp3 or 4). They were treated with at least two courses of IFN-a/5-FU without major complication. In the 55 patients, 24 (43.6%) showed objective response (eight (14.5%) showed complete response, 16 (29.1%) partial response), four (7.3%) showed no response, and 27 (49.1%) showed progressive disease. Immunohistochemically, IFNAR2 expression was detected in nine out of 13 (69.2%) patients. There was significant difference in the time-to-progression survival (P ¼ 0.0002) and the overall survival (Po0.0001) between IFNAR2-positive and -negative cases. There was a significant correlation between IFNAR2 expression and response to IFN-a/5-FU combination therapy in univariate analysis (P ¼ 0.0070). IFN-a/5-FU combination therapy is a promising modality for advanced HCC with tumour thrombi in the major portal branches and could significantly depend on IFNAR2 expression.

BACKGROUNDSymptom management is an essential component of cancer treatment for patients of every culture and nationality. Symptom assessment depends on subjective reporting, mandating linguistically equivalent versions of symptom assessment scales. Because disease‐related and treatment‐related symptoms most often occur in clusters, there is a global need for a standardized multiple‐symptom assessment tool.METHODSThe authors sought to validate the Chinese version of the M. D. Anderson Symptom Inventory (MDASI‐C) by enrolling patients who had received various diagnoses of and different types of treatment for cancer (n = 249) in a cross‐sectional symptom study conducted at an urban cancer center in China.RESULTSFactor analysis identified 2 underlying constructs, general symptoms and gastrointestinal symptoms, which had Cronbach alpha coefficients of 0.86 and 0.84, respectively. These results were consistent with English‐ and Japanese‐language MDASI validation studies. Known‐group validity was supported by the MDASI‐C's ability to detect significant differences in symptom and interference levels according to Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS; P < 0.001) and chemotherapy status (P < 0.05). Fifty‐five percent of the study cohort had ≥ 1 symptom that was considered severe (score ≥ 7 on a 0–10 scale). ECOG PS was strongly associated with symptom burden (total interference score: R2 = 0.26; P < 0.001). Fatigue, sadness, drowsiness, and lack of appetite accounted for most of the variability in the total interference score (R2 = 0.49; P < 0.05).CONCLUSIONSThe authors demonstrated that the MDASI‐C is a valid, reliable, and concise tool for measuring symptom severity and interference with functioning in Chinese cancer patients.
