Genetic Variations in Glutathione Pathway Genes Predict Cancer Recurrence in Patients Treated with Transurethral Resection and Bacillus Calmette-Guerin Instillation for Non-muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Glutathione (GSH) is an important molecule involved in cell detoxification and antioxidation and may affect cancer development or outcome. We hypothesized that genetic variation in the GSH pathway might influence the clinical outcome of patients who have non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC).A total of 114 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 21 GSH pathway genes were genotyped in 414 NMIBC patients treated with transurethral resection alone (TUR) and both TUR and intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guérin instillation (BCG) therapy. The effect of each SNP on time to recurrence was estimated using the multivariate Cox proportional hazards model. Cumulative effect and survival tree analyses were performed to determine the joint effects of unfavorable genotypes and gene-gene interactions on bladder cancer prognosis.Seven SNPs showed significant associations with cancer recurrence in the TUR group and 15 SNPs showed significant associations with recurrence in the BCG group. The most significant SNP in the TUR group was rs3746162 in GPX4, whose variant genotype conferred a 5.4-fold increased risk of recurrence compared with wild-type (hazard ratio [HR] = 5.43, 95 % confidence interval [CI] = 2.19-13.46), whereas the most significant SNP in the BCG group was rs7265992 in GSS (HR 3.43, 95 % CI 1.56-7.56). The risk of recurrence increased with the number of unfavorable genotypes in both groups. Within treatment group, stratified analyses by tumor grade also indicated predictive variants.Genetic variants in GSH pathway may influence cancer recurrence in NMIBC patients receiving curative treatment.

Project description:PurposePrior reports suggest that renin-angiotensin system inhibition may decrease nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer recurrence. We evaluated whether angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker treatment at initial surgery was associated with decreased recurrence or progression in patients with nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer.Materials and methodsUsing an institutional bladder cancer database we identified 340 patients with data available on initial transurethral resection of bladder tumor. Progression was defined as an increase to stage T2. Cox proportional hazards models were used to evaluate associations with recurrence-free and progression-free survival.ResultsMedian patient age was 69.6 years. During a median followup of 3 years (IQR 1.3-6.1) 200 patients (59%) had recurrence and 14 (4.1%) had stage progression. Of those patients 143 were receiving angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blockers at the time of the first transurethral resection. On univariate analysis factors associated with improved recurrence-free survival included carcinoma in situ (p = 0.040), bacillus Calmette-Guérin therapy (p = 0.003) and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blocker therapy (p = 0.009). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that patients treated with bacillus Calmette-Guérin therapy (HR 0.68, 95% CI 0.47-0.87, p = 0.002) or angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blocker therapy (HR 0.61, 95% CI 0.45-0.84, p = 0.005) were less likely to experience tumor recurrence. The 5-year recurrence-free survival rate was 45.6% for patients treated with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blockers and 28.1% in those not treated with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blockers (p = 0.009). Subgroup analysis was performed to evaluate nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer pathology (Ta, T1 and carcinoma in situ) in 85 patients on bacillus Calmette-Guérin therapy alone and in 52 in whom it was combined with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blocker. Multivariate analysis revealed that patients treated with bacillus Calmette-Guérin alone (HR 2.19, 95% CI 1.01-4.77, p = 0.04) showed worse recurrence-free survival compared to patients treated with bacillus Calmette-Guérin and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blocker (stage Ta HR 0.45, 95% CI 0.21-0.98, p = 0.04).ConclusionsPharmacological inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system is associated with improved outcomes in patients with bladder cancer. Renin-angiotensin system inhibitor administration in nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer cases should be studied in a prospective randomized trial.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Recurrence with papillary tumor(s) by 3-mo after induction bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is historically believed to be a poor prognostic indicator in patients with high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. However, the impact of a clinical Ta (cTa) papillary recurrence at 3 mo after BCG is often debated. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the prognostic implications of cTa papillary recurrence found 3 mo after induction BCG therapy and to evaluate its significance in clinical trial design. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS:We reviewed our database of 917 patients who underwent transurethral resection and induction of BCG from 1995 to 2012. Clinical characteristics were compared between 3-mo recurrence stages. INTERVENTION:Transurethral resection of bladder tumor and intravesical therapy. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS:Chi-square analysis and Student t test were used to compare clinical characteristics between 3-mo recurrence stages. Kaplan-Meier method was used to determine bladder-preservation time, progression-free survival, and disease-specific survival. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS:We identified 84 patients who met the study criteria (66 patients with cTa and 18 patients with clinical T1 [cT1]). The median follow-up for the entire cohort was 74 mo. Of the patients with cTa recurrence, 60 continued with bladder-sparing therapy. Patients with a high-grade cTa recurrence who continued bladder-sparing therapy had a 17% incidence of disease progression and a 62% incidence of recurrence within 1 yr. No patients with low-grade cTa recurrence (n=13) developed disease progression or underwent radical cystectomy. Patients with an initial cTa at diagnosis had a higher 5-yr bladder preservation rate than those with an initial cT1 diagnosis (84% vs 61%; p=0.041). Patients with high-grade cTa recurrence and those with cT1 recurrence had similar outcomes with respect to death rates over the entire follow-up period (11% and 15%, respectively), as well as 5-yr progression-free survival (77% vs 83%). Limitations include using a single institution and a retrospective review. CONCLUSIONS:Patients with low-grade cTa papillary recurrence 3 mo after induction of BCG can safely continue with bladder-sparing therapy. Patients with high-grade cTa papillary recurrence at that time have risks of recurrence and progression similar to those of patients with cT1 recurrence. These are important factors to consider during clinical trial design. PATIENT SUMMARY:Low-grade clinical Ta papillary recurrence following induction of bacillus Calmette-Guérin therapy can be safely managed conservatively, although a high-grade clinical Ta recurrence should be treated similar to a clinical T1 recurrence due to its comparable progression rates.
