随着国际学术交流的日益频繁,英语听说写能力已经成为重要的基本技能。不知诸位是否也有感叹脑容量不够大的时候。医学英语词汇量大得让人挠头,拉美、印巴、日韩等各地口音令人抓狂。《肿瘤瞭望》长期关注国内外临床肿瘤学术会议动态,采访了数百位肿瘤学专家,久经沙场而小有心得。本期“南腔北调”与您分享ASCO首席医疗官、芝加哥大学Richard Schilsky教授的采访。

 
字幕君Subtitle
 
Oncology Frontier: You have moderated several sessions here at ASCO 2018. Were there any of those presentations you were particularly interested in that you can share some comments about?
肿瘤瞭望:您在ASCO2018大会上主持了数场分场讨论,是否有一些报告引起您的关注?
 
Dr Schilsky:We have had many interesting studies at the meeting this year. Two, in particular, really stand out to me. 
本次大会上有很多有意思的研究,其中两项尤其给我留下深刻印象。
 
One was the presentation of the TAILORx results in women with breast cancer. 
一项是公布了乳腺癌TAILORx研究结果。
 
This was a study of women with early stage hormone receptor-positive, node-negative breast cancer who already have a favorable prognosis. 
这是一项关于有良好预后的、早期激素受体阳性、淋巴结阴性乳腺癌患者的研究, 
 
The study was determining whether a genomic test could identify women at a sufficiently low enough risk of recurrence that they could safely omit chemotherapy. 
旨在通过基因组测试识别出低复发风险的患者,为其豁免化疗提供支持证据。
 
The study demonstrated exactly that and showed that for a significant fraction of women with early stage breast cancer, who up until now would have been considered to get adjuvant chemotherapy as part of their treatment, can now not be exposed to the cost and side effects of adjuvant chemotherapy and still expect to have very good outcomes. 
该研究结果证实,部分(RS中低危)患者无需接受辅助化疗,以减少治疗费用和毒副作用等,同样可以获得良好转归。
 
That is a very important piece of news for women with breast cancer. 
这对乳腺癌患者来说是非常重要的利好消息。
 
The other study I would highlight is an important study of patients with pancreatic cancer. 
另一项我想重点介绍的研究是关于胰腺癌辅助化疗的重要研究。
 
This is one of the most difficult cancers to treat, 
胰腺癌作为最难治疗的癌症之一,以往研究表明化疗是转移性晚期胰腺癌的标准辅助治疗,
 
and the study showed that a chemotherapy regimen that has been used as standard of care for treating metastatic or advanced pancreatic cancer now used in the adjuvant setting immediately after removal of a tumor, can extend survival of patients with pancreatic cancer by about 20 months. 
该研究则表明,在肿瘤切除后立即辅助化疗,可以延长患者的生存期达20个月。
 
These patients can now expect to live, on average, more than four years after surgery for their pancreatic cancer. 
这些患者在胰腺癌术后的平均存活期可超过4年。
 
That is really a major advance in a really difficult disease.
这确实是一项难治性疾病中的重大进展。
 
划重点Terminology
 
stand out to 出众,留下深刻印象
significant fraction 有效分数(文中指RS评分)
The other study I would highlight 另一项我想强调的研究
extend survival 延长生存期
