Abstract
BACKGROUND After radical surgery, early detection of recurrence and metastasis is a crucial factor in enhancing the prognosis and survival of patients with gastric cancer (GC). Therefore, assessing the risk of recurrence in gastric cancer patients and determining the timing for postoperative recurrence is crucial. METHODS The clinicopathological data of 521 patients with recurrent gastric cancer, who underwent radical gastrectomy at Zhejiang Cancer Hospital between January 2010 and January 2017, were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were randomly divided into two groups: a training group (n = 365) and a validation group (n = 156). In the training set, patients were further categorized into early recurrence (n = 263) and late recurrence (n = 102) groups based on a 2-year boundary. Comparative analyses of clinicopathological features and prognoses were conducted between these two groups. Subsequently, a nomogram for predicting early recurrence was developed and validated. RESULTS In this study, the developed nomogram incorporated age, serous infiltration, lymph node metastasis, recurrence mode, and the tumour marker CA19-9. In the training cohort, the area under the curve (AUC value) was 0.739 (95% CI, 0.682-0.798), with a corresponding C-index of 0.739. This nomogram was subsequently validated in an independent validation cohort, yielding an AUC of 0.743 (95% CI, 0.652-0.833) and a C-index of 0.743. Furthermore, independent risk factors for prognosis were identified, including age, absence of postoperative chemotherapy, early recurrence, lymph node metastasis, abdominal metastasis, and vascular cancer embolus. CONCLUSION Independent risk factors for gastric cancer recurrence following radical surgery were utilized to construct a nomogram for predicting early relapse. This nomogram effectively assesses the risk of recurrence, aids in treatment decision-making and follow-up planning in clinical settings, and demonstrated strong performance in the validation cohort.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The optimal target volume in localized basal ganglia (BG) germinoma is still undetermined. Thus, based on the relapse pattern and health-related quality of life (HRQOL), we evaluated three target volumes. MATERIAL AND METHODS The clinical data of 161 patients with localized BG germinoma were included in this retrospective study. Relapse status and relapse sites after treatment were explored. HRQOL was evaluated using the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 (PedsQL 4.0) (≤15 years) and Short Form-36 (SF-36) (>15 years) questionnaires based on the patients' age at last follow-up. RESULTS After a median follow-up duration of 83 months (range, 20-214 months), 19 patients experienced relapse, including 15, 4, and 0 patients in the focal radiotherapy (FR) (n = 35), whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) plus boost (n = 109), and craniospinal irradiation (CSI) plus boost (n = 17) groups, respectively. The 5-year disease-free survival rates were 74.3%, 97.2%, and 100%, respectively (p < 0.001). Among the 15 patients who relapsed after FR, 14 had positive radiological findings, including seven (50.0%) with lesions in the periventricular area and seven (50.0%) with frontal lobe lesions. Relapse in both these areas were significantly reduced by WBRT or CSI. HRQOL data were available for 69 patients, who generally scored low. Among 38 patients evaluated by SF-36, those receiving CSI had significantly lower mental component scores than those receiving WBRT (p = 0.027) or FR (p = 0.011). CONCLUSIONS Considering both disease control and HRQOL, WBRT is the optimal target volume in our series. The relapse pattern identified in patients receiving FR is informative for further treatment volume optimization.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study investigated the relapse pattern and oncologic outcomes after laparoscopic nephroureterectomy with template-based lymph node dissection (LND) in patients with clinically node-negative (cN0) upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma. The frequency of lymph node metastasis, including micrometastases, was also evaluated. METHODS AND MATERIALS A total of 105 patients with cTa-3N0M0 upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma were analyzed, all of whom underwent regional LND during laparoscopic nephroureterectomy. Of those patients, 96 (91%) underwent complete LND in accordance with an anatomical template-based rule. We collected patient characteristics, pathological data, and follow-up data from medical charts. Micrometastases were assessed by pan-cytokeratin immunohistochemistry. Nonurothelial recurrence-free survival and cancer-specific survival were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS The median number of lymph nodes removed was 12 (range, 1-59). Lymph node metastasis was identified by routine pathological examination in 7 (7/105, 6.7%) patients. Pan-cytokeratin immunohistochemistry revealed micrometastases in 5 additional patients (pNmicro +: 5/105, 4.8%). Nonurothelial disease recurrence was observed in 21 (20%) patients at a median of 10 months (range: 1-33) after surgery. Distant metastasis was dominant (15/105, 14.3%), followed by locoregional recurrence (5/105, 4.8%) and both (1/105, 0.95%). The 5-year nonurothelial recurrence-free survival rates were 84.8% for pN0, 53.3% for pNmicro+, and 19.1% for pN+ (3-sample log-rank test, P < 0.0001). The 5-year cancer-specific survival rates were 95.0% for pN0, 53.3% for pNmicro+, and 23.8% for pN+ (P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Our observation showed that template-based LND could contribute to precise disease staging and better local disease control probably by eliminating nodal disease, compared with previous studies. The survival impact and ideal management of pNmicro+ disease should be evaluated in a larger cohort.

Multiple relapses of Plasmodium vivax malaria acquired from West Africa and association with poor metabolizer CYP2D6 variant: a case report. BMC Infect Dis 2019; 19:704.

Abstract
Background Plasmodium vivax transmission in West Africa, dominant for the Duffy-negative blood group, has been increasingly recognized from both local residents as well as international travelers who contracted P. vivax malaria there. However, the relapsing pattern and sensitivity to antimalarial treatment of P. vivax strains originated from this region are largely unknown. There is evidence that the efficacy of primaquine for radical cure of relapsing malaria depends on host factors such as the hepatic enzyme cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6. Case presentation A 49-year-old Chinese man was admitted to the Shanglin County Hospital in Guangxi Province, China, on December 19, 2016, 39 days after he returned from Ghana, where he stayed for one and a half years. He was diagnosed by microscopy as having uncomplicated P. vivax malaria. Treatment included 3 days of intravenous artesunate (420 mg total), and 3 days of chloroquine (1550 mg total), and 8 days of primaquine (180 mg total). Although parasites and symptoms were cleared rapidly and he was malaria-negative for almost two months, he suffered four relapses with relapse intervals ranging from 58 to 232 days. The last relapse occurred at 491 days from his first vivax attack. For the first three relapses, he was treated similarly with chloroquine and primaquine, sometimes supplemented with additional artemisinin combination therapies (ACTs). For the last relapse, he was treated with intravenous artesunate, 3 days of an ACT, and 7 days of azithromycin, and had remained healthy for 330 days. Molecular studies confirmed P. vivax infections for all the episodes. Although this patient was diagnosed to have normal glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) activity, his CYP2D6 genotype corresponded to a *2A/*36 allele variant suggesting of an impaired primaquine metabolizer phenotype. Conclusions This clinical case suggests that P. vivax malaria originating from West Africa may produce multiple relapses extending beyond one year. The failures of primaquine as an anti-relapse therapy may be attributed to the patient’s impaired metabolizer phenotype of the CYP2D6. This highlights the importance of knowing the host G6PD and CYP2D6 activities for effective radical cure of relapsing malaria by primaquine.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the study was to investigate the association between the molecular subtypes and patterns of relapse in breast cancer patients who had undergone curative surgery. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 1,350 breast cancer patients with relapses after curative surgery between 1998 and 2012 from referral centers in Turkey. Patients were divided into 4 biological subtypes according to immunohistochemistry and grade: triple negative, HER2 overexpressing, luminal A and luminal B. RESULTS The percentages of patients with luminal A, luminal B, HER2-overexpressing, and triple-negative breast cancer were 32.9% (n = 444), 34.9% (n = 471), 12.0% (n = 162), and 20.2% (n = 273), respectively. The distribution of metastases differed among the subgroups: bone (66.2% and 53.9% in luminal A and B vs. 38.9% in HER2-overexpressing and 45.1% in triple negative, p < 0.001), liver (40.1% in HER2-overexpressing vs. 24.5% in luminal A, 33.5% in luminal B, and 27.5% in triple negative, p < 0.001), lung (41.4% in triple negative and 35.2% in HER2-overexpressing vs. 30.2% and 30.6% in luminal A and B, p = 0.008) and brain (25.3% in HER2-overexpressing and 23.1% in triple negative vs. 10.1% and 15.1% in luminal A and B, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Organ-specific metastasis may depend on the molecular subtype of breast cancer. Tailored strategies against distant metastasis concerning the molecular subtypes in breast cancer should be considered.
