High amplification of FGFR1 gene is a delayed poor prognostic factor in early stage ESCC patients.

ABSTRACT: Amplification of the fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) is believed to predict response to FGFR inhibitors. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency and the prognostic impact of FGFR1 amplification in patients with resected esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) by using fluorescent in situ hybridization. Microarrayed paraffin embedded blocks were constructed, and the cohort of tissues came from 506 patients with ESCC. FGFR1 high amplification (FGFR1high ) was defined by an FGFR1/centromere 8 ratio of ? 2.0, or average number of FGFR1 signals/tumor cell nucleus ? 6.0, or percentage of tumor cells containing ? 15 FGFR1 signals, or large cluster in ? 10% of cancer cells. FGFR1 low amplification was defined by ? 5 FGFR1 signals in ? 50% of cancer cells. Kaplan-Meier curves with log-rank tests and Cox proportional hazards model were used to analyze patients' survival. Among 506 patients, high amplification, low amplification, and disomy were detected in 8.7%, 3.6% and 87.7%, respectively. In general, the FGFR1high group trended towards worse disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) compared to the FGFR1 low amplification/disomy (FGFR1low/disomy ) group (DFS, P=0.108; OS, P=0.112), but this trend was amplified for patients with DFS ? 30 months (DFS, P=0.009; OS, P=0.007). Furthermore, when patients were stratified into stage I-II and stage III-IV, the FGFR1high group directly presented with adverse DFS and OS than the FGFR1low/disomy group in stage I-II patients (DFS, P=0.019; OS, P=0.034), especially with DFS ? 30 months (DFS, P=0.002; OS, P=0.001). However, for patients in stage III-IV, FGFR1high had no effect on prognosis regardless of DFS time. FGFR1high occurs in a minority of ESCC, and it predicts delayed poor prognosis in stage I and II ESCC patients.

Project description:Background: To assess potential roles for tumor-associated autoantibodies (TAAs) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) screening: detecting early-stage malignancy, and predicting future cancer risk. Methods: Thirteen candidate autoantibodies identified in previous literatures were measured using multiplex serological assays in sera from cases and matched controls nested in two population-level screening cohorts in China. To evaluate the role of TAAs in detecting prevalent esophageal malignant lesions, an identification set (150 cases vs. 560 controls) and an external validation set (34 cases vs. 121 controls) were established with pre-screening sera collected ≤ 12 months prior to screening-related diagnosis. To explore the role of TAAs in predicting future ESCC risk, an exploration set (105 cases vs. 416 controls) with pre-diagnostic sera collected > 12 months before clinical diagnosis was established. Two models, the questionnaire-based model and full model additionally incorporating TAA markers, were constructed. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and net reclassification improvement (NRI) were calculated to compare the performance of the two models. Findings: In the identification set, NY-ESO-1 (OR=2·12, 95% CI=1·02-4·40) and STIP1 (OR=1·83, 95% CI=1·10-3·05) were positively associated with higher risk of esophageal malignancy. Elevated MMP-7 was associated with higher risk of malignancy in females (ORfemale=5·07, 95% CI=1·30-19·71). The estimates in validation set were consistent with these results, but were close to null in exploration set. Integration of selected TAAs improved the performance of questionnaire-based models in detecting prevalent esophageal malignancy (female: AUCfull model=0·745, 95% CI=0·675-0·814, AUCquestionnaire-based model=0·658, 95% CI=0·585-0·732, NRI=0·604, P<0·0001; male: AUCfull model=0·662, 95% CI=0·596-0·728, AUCquestionnaire-based model=0·619, 95% CI=0·548-0·690, NRI=0·357, P=0·0028). This improvement was also seen in validation set, but was not similarly effective in distinguishing long-term incident cases from healthy controls. Interpretation: Serological autoantibodies against NY-ESO-1, STIP1, and MMP-7 perform well in detecting early-stage esophageal malignancy, but are less effective in predicting future ESCC risks.
