Lateral pelvic lymph node(LPLN)is a common local site of metastasis in patients with low rectal cancer,and it is also the main site of postoperative local recurrence.However,there is still no clear conclusion about the treatment plan for LPLN metastasis.At the same time,the metastasis of LPLN should be regarded as local diseases rather than systemic.Neoadjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy(CRT)cannot replace surgical dissection.Lateral lymph node dissection(LLND)is still indispensable.However,since LLND may mean longer operative time and more postoperative complications,it may be over-treatment for all patients with low rectal cancer,so it is particularly important to select patients who can benefit.The size of the LPLN,the reduction ratio of the short path,the signal strength,and the edge characteristics should all be considered in the screening.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma(HNSCC)is a malignant neoplasm of non-keratotic epithelial hyperplasia mainly derived from the upper respiratory tract and digestive tract.Cancer metastasis is a common cause of poor prognosis and high mortality in HNSCC patients.The mechanism of HNSCC metastasis has become one of hotspots for many scholars in recent years.The metastasis of HNSCC is often the ability of cancer cells to acquire invasion and migration through the process of epithelial to mesenchymal transition(EMT).Cancer cells grow pseudopodia that can degrade the basement membrane and extracellular matrix(ECM),and jointly promote the production of HNSCC metastatic cancer.A variety of factors affect the HNSCC cancer metastasis,such as the hypoxic environment in which cancer cells are located,the glycolytic pathway of cancer cells,and the down-regulating expression of some tumor-related cells and neural precursor cells 9(expressed developmentally down-regulated 9,NEDD9)in which can promote the EMT process of HNSCC cancer cells and the generation of pseudopods,and promote cancer cells to leave the original site and transfer to blood vessels or lymphatic vessels.This article will make a systematic review for the transfer mechanism of HNSCC and its influencing factors.

Genome instability is a hallmark of cancer.Targeting protein for xenopus kinesin-like protein 2(TPX2)is involved in the spindle formation during cell mitosis.The abnormal expression of TPX2 can lead to abnormal centrosome amplification and spindle abnormality,and then affect the stability of the genome and malignant transformation of cells.In recent years,studies have confirmed that TPX2 is overexpressed in a variety of malignant tumors,and is closely related to the occurrence,development and prognosis of cancer.Inhibition of TPX2 expression can inhibit tumor proliferation and invasion.Therefore,TPX2 is expected to become an important marker of tumor diagnosis and prognosis,as well as a new direction of tumor treatment.

The incidence of brain metastases in advanced lung cancer is high and the prognosis is poor.In recent years,with the development of overall treatment for lung cancer,more treatments and expectations have been provided for advanced lung cancer with brain metastases.Current clinical studies suggest that antiangiogenic drugs play an important role in the treatment of lung cancer with brain metastasis including from monoclonal antibody to multi-target antiangiogenic drugs and then to small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor(TKI).These drugs have shown a certain efficacy and good safety,and they also show a significantly synergistic anti-tumor effect on chemotherapy,radiotherapy and epidermal growth factor receptor TKI(EGFR-TKI).This article reviews the new progress of anti-angiogenic drugs in the treatment of lung cancer with brain metastases.
