Better surveillance tests for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are needed. The GALAD score [Gender, Age, AFP-L3, AFP, and Des-carboxy-prothrombin] has been shown to have excellent sensitivity and specificity for HCC in phase two studies. We performed a phase three biomarker validation study to compare GALAD with AFP in detecting HCC.

This Consensus Statement develops recommendations for reporting measures and types of statistical analyses to be used in retrospective observational studies of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.
To the Editor We read the article by Dai et al with great interest. Omitting chemotherapy in patients receiving induction chemotherapy (IC) is a hot topic in nasopharyngeal carcinoma treatment, particularly in the intensity-modulated radiotherapy era. Yet, concurrent cisplatin is still recommended in advanced-stage disease, and the cumulative dose of concurrent cisplatin recommended is at least 200 mg/m2 in the latest American Society of Clinical Oncology/Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology guidelines. The authors in the current study gave 30-mg/m2 cisplatin per week and only 12.1% of patients had received 7 weeks of cisplatin, which makes a total 210 mg/m2. For patients receiving IC, at least a total 160-mg/m2 dose of cisplatin is recommended, which had been received by 85.8% of patients. Could the inadequate cumulative concurrent cisplatin dose be the reason why the IC in combination with radiotherapy (IC-RT) arm was noninferior to the IC with induction chemotherapy combined with chemoradiotherapy (IC-CCRT) arm? Therefore, we would kindly like the authors to separately analyze the results of patients receiving adequate doses of concurrent cisplatin.
The Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB140503; also known as ALLIANCE) is a phase 3 trial that demonstrated that peripheral (outer third of lung) non–small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) with tumor size 2 cm or smaller and lymph node (LN) negative for metastasis, sublobar resection (defined as wedge resection or segmentectomy) compared to lobectomy was not inferior in disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). The Japan Clinical Oncology Group (JCOG0802; also known as West Japan Oncology Group WJOG4607L study) is also a phase 3 trial that revealed that peripheral NSCLC with tumor size 2 cm or smaller with consolidation to tumor ratio more than 0.5 and LN negative for metastasis, segmentectomy (wedge resection was not allowed) compared to lobectomy was not inferior in relapse-free survival (RFS) and OS. Both trials are practice changing and challenged the prior standard of care of lobectomy for peripheral tumors 3 cm and smaller and LN negative for metastasis as established by the Lung Cancer Study Group.
To the Editor A recent randomized clinical trial reported that after induction chemotherapy (IC), patients with stages III to IVB (American Joint Committee on Cancer Staging Manual, 7th Edition) nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) receiving radiation therapy alone had noninferior oncologic outcomes and fewer acute adverse events, compared with those receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). We have several comments about this impactful study.
