Association of MDM2 expression with shorter progression-free survival and overall survival in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer treated with gemcitabine-based chemotherapy.


ABSTRACT: This study evaluated the prognostic roles of murine double minute 2 (MDM2) and p53 in pancreatic cancer patients treated with gemcitabine-based chemotherapy. A total of 137 advanced or recurrent adenocarcinoma patients who were treated with gemcitabine-based palliative chemotherapy were reviewed, selected from 957 patients with pancreatic malignancy between 2008 and 2013 at our hospital. Immunohistochemical staining for MDM2 and p53 with formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor tissues was independently reviewed. Nuclear or cytoplasmic expression of MDM2 and p53 was found in tumor cells of 30 (21.9%) and 71 (51.8%) patients, respectively. Patients with MDM2 expression had shorter median overall survival (OS) (3.7 vs 5.8 mo; P = .048) and median progression-free survival (PFS) (1.5 vs 2.5 mo; P < .001); by contrast, p53 expression was not correlated with OS or PFS. In the multivariate analysis, MDM2 expression (hazard ratio = 1.731; P = .025) was an independent and unfavorable prognostic factor of OS. Additionally, MDM2 expression was significantly associated with progressive disease (PD) and death (P = .015) following first-line gemcitabine-based therapy. In advanced pancreatic cancer patients, MDM2 expression is associated with shorter OS and PFS after gemcitabine-based chemotherapy.
