The prognostic impact of overall treatment time on disease outcome in uterine cervical cancer patients treated primarily with concomitant chemoradiotherapy: a nationwide Taiwanese cohort study.

ABSTRACT: The importance of the overall treatment time (OTT) has a paradoxical status in the current era of concomitant chemoradiotherapy. The main objective of this nationwide study was to evaluate the correlation between overall treatment duration and clinical outcome in cervical cancer patients treated primarily with curative concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). In this population-based cohort study, 2,594 patients diagnosed with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage I-IVA uterine cervical cancer were studied. Univariate and multivariate analyses of prognostic factors were analyzed using Cox's proportional hazards models. The median irradiation duration was 59 days. Significant prognostic factors related to poor cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS) included old age, non-squamous cell cancer type, high-grade histology, increased tumor size, advanced FIGO stage, and prolonged OTT. After multivariate analysis, prolonged treatment time remained as a significant factor for poor CSS (hazard ratio, HR = 1.33; p < 0.001) and OS (HR = 1.15; p = 0.05). Further subgroup analysis showed that the 5-year OS rates after a treatment time of ? 56 days compared with > 56 days in patients with FIGO stages I-IIB and III-IVA were 70% and 65% (p = 0.002) compared with 43% and 42% (p = 0.67), respectively. Inconclusion, completion of CCRT within 8 weeks is recommended, particularly for patients with FIGO stage I-IIB disease.

Project description:PurposeTo determine if quantitative features extracted from pretherapy fluorine 18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) PET/CT estimate prognosis in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer treated with chemoradiotherapy.Materials and methodsIn this retrospective study, PET/CT images and outcomes were curated from 154 patients with locally advanced cervical cancer, who underwent chemoradiotherapy from two institutions between March 2008 and June 2016, separated into independent training (n = 78; mean age, 51 years ± 13 [standard deviation]) and testing (n = 76; mean age, 50 years ± 10) cohorts. Radiomic features were extracted from PET, CT, and habitat (subregions with different metabolic characteristics) images that were derived by fusing PET and CT images. Parsimonious sets of these features were identified by the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator analysis and used to generate predictive radiomics signatures for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) estimation. Prognostic validation of the radiomic signatures as independent prognostic markers was performed using multivariable Cox regression, which was expressed as nomograms, together with other clinical risk factors.ResultsThe radiomics nomograms constructed with T stage, lymph node status, and radiomics signatures resulted in significantly better performance for the estimation of PFS (Harrell concordance index [C-index], 0.85 for training and 0.82 for test) and OS (C-index, 0.86 for training and 0.82 for test) compared with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics staging system (C-index for PFS, 0.70 for training [P = .001] and 0.70 for test [P = .002]; C-index for OS, 0.73 for training [P < .001] and 0.70 for test [P < .001]), respectively.ConclusionPrognostic models were generated and validated from quantitative analysis of 18F-FDG PET/CT habitat images and clinical data, and may have the potential to identify the patients who need more aggressive treatment in clinical practice, pending further validation with larger prospective cohorts.Supplemental material is available for this article.© RSNA, 2020.

Project description:BackgroundThis study aimed to investigate the relationships of chitinase 3-like 1 (CHI3L1) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and haplotypes with the development of uterine cervical cancer in Taiwanese women. The SNPs frequencies and haplotypes were also correlated with the clinicopathologic variables of cervical cancer, cancer recurrence, and patient survival.Methodology and principal findingsNinety-nine patients with invasive cancer and 61 with pre-cancerous lesions of the uterine cervix were compared to 310 healthy control subjects. Three SNPs rs6691378 (-1371, G/A), rs10399805 (-247, G/A) and rs4950928 (-131, C/G) in the promoter region, and one SNP rs880633 (+2950, T/C) in exon 5 were analyzed by real time polymerase chain reaction and genotyping. The results showed that the mutant homozygous genotype AA of CHI3L1 SNP rs6691378 and AA of rs10399805, and haplotypes AACC and AACT increased the risk of developing pre-cancerous lesions and invasive cancer. The patients with these risk haplotypes had higher than stage I tumors, larger tumors, and vaginal invasion. In logistic regression model, they also tended to have poor survival event [p = 0.078; odds ratio (OR): 2.99, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.89-10.08] and a higher probability of recurrence event (p = 0.081; OR: 3.07, 95% CI: 0.87-10.81). There was a significant association between the CHI3L1 risk haplotypes and probability of recurrence (p = 0.002; hazard ratio: 6.21, 95% CI: 1.90-20.41), and a marginal association between the risk haplotypes and overall survival (p = 0.051; hazard ratio: 3.76, 95% CI: 0.99-14.29) in the patients with SCC, using Cox proportional hazard model.ConclusionThe CHI3L1 SNPs rs6691378 and rs10399805 and CHI3L1 haplotypes all correlated with the development of cervical pre-cancerous lesions and invasive cancer. The cervical cancer patients with the CHI3L1 haplotypes AACC or AACT had poor clinicopathologic characteristics and poor recurrence and survival events. These risk haplotypes were associated with higher recurrence, especially in the patients with SCC.
