The clinicopathologic relevance and prognostic value of tumor deposits and the applicability of N1c category in rectal cancer with preoperative radiotherapy.

ABSTRACT: The clinicopathologic relevance and prognostic value of tumor deposits in colorectal cancer has been widely demonstrated. However, there are still debates in the prognostic value of tumor deposits and the applicability of N1c category in rectal cancer with preoperative radiotherapy. In this study, rectal cancer with preoperative radiotherapy followed by resection of primary tumors registered in Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database from 2010-2012 were analyzed. There were 4,813 cases eligible for this study, and tumor deposits were found in 514 (10.7%) cases. The presence of tumor deposits was significantly associated with some aggressive characteristics, including poorer tumor differentiation, more advanced ypT category, ypN category and ypTNM stage, distant metastasis, elevated carcinoembryonic antigen, higher positive rates of circumferential resection margin and perineural invasion (all P < = 0.001). Tumor deposit was also an independent negative prognostic factor for cancer-specific survival in rectal cancer with preoperative radiotherapy (adjusted HR and 95% CI: 2.25 (1.51 - 3.35)). N1c category had significant worse survival compared with N0 category (adjusted HR and 95% CI: 2.41 (1.24 - 4.69)). In conclusion, tumor deposit was a significant and independent prognostic factor, and the N1c category by the 7th edition of AJCC/TNM staging system was applicable in rectal cancer with preoperative radiotherapy.

Project description:AimTumor deposits (TDs) are an aggressive hallmark of rectal cancer, but their prognostic value has not been addressed in current staging systems. This study aimed to construct and validate a prognostic nomogram for rectal cancer patients with TDs.MethodsA total of 1,388 stage III-IV rectal cancer patients who underwent radical surgical resection from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database were retrospectively analyzed to identify the clinical value of TDs. TD-positive rectal cancer patients in the SEER database were used as the training set to construct a prognostic model, which was validated by Fujian Cancer Hospital. Three models were constructed to predict the prognosis of rectal cancer patients with TDs, including the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression (LASSO, model 1), backward stepwise regression (BSR, model 2), and LASSO followed by BSR (model 3). A nomogram was established among the three models.ResultsIn the entire cohort, TD was also identified as an independent risk factor for overall survival (OS), even after adjusting for baseline factors, stage, other risk factors, treatments, and all the included variables in this study (all P < 0.05). Among patients with TDs, model 3 exhibited a higher C-index and area under the curves (AUCs) at 3, 4, and 5 years compared with the American Joint Committee on Cancer staging system both in the training and validation sets (all P < 0.05). The nomogram obtained from model 3 showed good consistency based on the calibration curves and excellent clinical applicability by the decision curve analysis curves. In addition, patients were divided into two subgroups with apparently different OS according to the current nomogram (both P < 0.05), and only patients in the high-risk subgroup were found to benefit from postoperative radiotherapy (P < 0.05).ConclusionWe identified a novel nomogram that could not only predict the prognosis of rectal cancer patients with TDs but also provide reliable evidence for clinical decision-making.

Project description:IntroductionPrimary IgA nephropathy (IgAN) with light chain λ restriction in the mesangial deposits (IgAN-λ) has unique immunofluorescence (IF) features. Nevertheless, its clinicopathology and prognosis are still ambiguous.MethodsFrom January 2002 to December 2020, the clinical and pathologic data of 3872 patients who were diagnosed with having primary IgAN by renal biopsy in our hospital were reviewed. A total of 187 patients who met the selection criteria for IgAN-λ were enrolled to conduct a retrospective single-center study. The selection criteria were that IF features conform to light chain λ restriction in the mesangial deposits. According to age, sex, renal function (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR]), and follow-up time, the control group was constructed with 1:3 matched cases of IgAN. The clinicopathologic and prognostic differences between the 2 groups were analyzed.ResultsCompared with that in the IgAN group, the serum fibrinogen level in the IgAN-λ group was significantly higher (P < 0.001). Furthermore, cluster analysis indicated the different clusters involved in fibrinogen between the IgAN-λ and IgAN groups and that fibrinogen is associated with factors reflecting renal function in IgAN-λ but proteinuria levels in IgAN. The light chain λ deposit in the mesangium is associated with the formation of crescents in those with IgAN-λ, but complement C3 deposition in those with IgAN. Our Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that the prognosis of the IgAN-λ group was significantly worse than that of the IgAN group within >6 years of follow-up (P = 0.02). The multi-Cox analysis revealed that the light chain λ restriction in the mesangial deposits was an independent risk factor for poor outcomes (eGFR decreased from the baseline ≥ 30% continuously or reached end-stage renal disease [ESRD] or died).ConclusionThe prognosis of those with IgAN-λ was worse than that of those with IgAN, which may be attributed to the light chain λ restriction in the mesangial deposits inducing a significant systemic inflammation manifested as severe clinical features and frequent crescent.
