Prognostic value of a 25-gene assay in patients with gastric cancer after curative resection.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to develop and validate a practical, reliable assay for prognosis and chemotherapy benefit prediction compared with conventional staging in Gastric cancer (GC). Twenty-three candidate genes with significant correlation between quantitative hybridization and microarray results plus 2 reference genes were selected to form a 25-gene prognostic classifier, which can classify patients into 3 distinct groups of different risk of mortality obtained by analyzing microarray data from 78 frozen tumor specimens. The 25-gene assay was associated with overall survival in both training (P?=?0.017) and testing cohort (P?=?0.005) (462 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples). The risk prediction in stages I?+?II is significantly better than that in stages III. Analysis demonstrated that this 25-gene signature is an independent prognostic predictor and show higher prognostic accuracy than conventional TNM staging in early stage patients. Moreover, only high-risk patients in stage I?+?II were found benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy (P?=?0.043), while low-risk patients in stage III were not found benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy. In conclusion, our results suggest that this 25-gene assay can reliably identify patients with different risk for mortality after surgery, especially for stage I?+?II patients, and might be able to predict patients who benefit from chemotherapy.

Project description:Increasing lymph node ratio (LNR) (ratio of metastatic lymph nodes to the total number of harvested lymph nodes) and extramural vascular invasion (EMVI) have been proposed as adverse prognostic indicators in colorectal cancer, although their use remains variable and controversial. The aim of the present study was to assess the prognostic value of LNR and EMVI in predicting survival for patients undergoing curative colon cancer resection.Between 2006 and 2012, 922 patients underwent curative colon cancer resection. Surgical technique and pathological assessment did not change during the study period. Clinical and pathological data were collected from a prospectively maintained database. The primary outcome measure was overall survival and disease-free survival. LNR was separated into five categories based on three previously calculated cutoff values: LNR 0 (no lymph nodes involved), LNR 1 (ratio 0.01<0.17), LNR 2 (ratio 0.18-0.41), LNR 3 (ratio 0.42-0.69), and LNR 4 (ratio >0.70).Nine hundred and twenty-two patients underwent colon cancer resection. The median follow-up for survivors was 52.8 months (IQR 34.6-77.6). The median total number of lymph nodes harvested was 16 (IQR13-22). On multivariate analysis, both pN and LNR were strongly associated with overall and disease-free survival. Using the Akaike information criterion (AIC), LNR had greater prognostic value compared with pN. For overall survival, compared with patients in LNR category 0, hazard ratios (95% CI) for those in categories 1, 2, 3 and 4 were 1.37 (1.03,1.82), 2.37 (1.70,3.30), 2.40 (1.57,3.65) and 5.51 (3.16,9.58), respectively. For disease-free survival, patients had hazard ratios (95% CI) of 1.78 (1.25,2.52), 3.79 (2.56,5.61), 2.60 (1.50,4.48) and 4.76 (2.21,10.27), respectively. The presence of EMVI was a significant predictor of decreased overall and disease-free survival (P<0.001).This study demonstrated, in the presence of high surgical, oncology and pathological standards, EMVI and increasing LNR were independent predictors of decreased overall and disease-free survival for patients undergoing curative colon cancer resection. LNR was superior to pN stage in predicting overall and disease-free survival.

Project description:BackgroundWe sought to investigate the prognostic value of complete blood count (CBC)-based biomarkers for patients with resectable gastric cancer (GC).MethodsPatients with GC who underwent primary surgical resection between December 2008 and December 2013 were included. The estimated area under the curve (AUC) and multivariate Cox regression models were used to identify the best CBC-based biomarker. Time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (t-ROC) curve analysis was used to predict overall survival and compare the prognostic impact.ResultsIn the 1810 patients analyzed, the median follow-up period was 51.0 months (range 1-101 months). Based on multivariate analysis, the lymphocyte-monocyte ratio (LMR) and hemoglobin (Hb) level were independent prognostic factors (both P < 0.05). Based on the LMR and Hb level, we established the CBC-based inflammatory score (CBCS). A higher CBCS was associated with older age, female sex, higher American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, proximal tumor location, larger tumor size, later stage and vascular involvement (all P < 0.05). Univariate analyses showed that a higher CBCS was also associated with worse overall survival (OS), which was consistent in each stage (all P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed that the CBCS was a significant independent biomarker (P < 0.05). The AUC for the CBCS (0.627) was significantly higher than the AUCs for the LMR (0.573) and Hb level (0.605) (both P < 0.05). Furthermore, the t-ROC curve of the CBCS was superior to that of the prognostic nutritional index (PNI), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), modified Glasgow prognostic score (mGPS) and C-reactive protein/albumin ratio (CRP/Alb) throughout the observation period.ConclusionThe preoperative LMR and Hb level were optimal CBC-based biomarkers for predicting OS in GC patients after curative resection. Based on the LMR and Hb, we developed a novel and easily obtainable prognostic score called the CBCS, which may improve the prediction of clinical outcomes.
