Diffuse optical spectroscopy for monitoring the responses of patients with breast cancer to neoadjuvant chemotherapy: A meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed to investigate the potential of diffuse optical spectroscopy (DOT) for monitoring the responses of patients with breast cancer to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).

Methods

We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and Web of Science for relevant studies. Data were extracted for pooled analysis, heterogeneity testing, threshold effect testing, sensitivity analysis, publication bias analysis, and subgroup analysis.

Results

The pooled meta-analysis of the 10 eligible studies that included 422 patients indicated the high performance of DOT for monitoring total patient responses to NAC (OR?=?14.78, 95% CI: 8.23-26.54, P?ConclusionOur meta-analysis of available published data indicated that DOT can be potentially used to predict and monitor patient responses to NAC. A larger study population is needed to fully assess the use of DOT for guiding therapies and predicting responses of individual subjects to NAC.

Project description:Background This study sought to predict the early responses to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) of patients with primary conventional osteosarcoma (COS) using the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and to evaluate the factors affecting the tumor necrosis rate (TNR). Methods The data of 41 patients who underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and diffusion-weighted imaging sequence scans before NACT, 5 days after the end of the first phase of NACT, after the end of the whole course of chemotherapy, were prospectively collected. ADC1 refers to the ADC before chemotherapy, ADC2 refers to the ADC after the first phase of chemotherapy, and ADC3 refers to the ADC before surgery. The change in values before and after the first phase of chemotherapy was calculated as follows: ADC2-1 = ADC2 − ADC1. The change in values before and after the last phase of chemotherapy was calculated as follows: ADC3-1 = ADC3 − ADC1. The change in values after the first phase and the last phase of chemotherapy was calculated as follows: ADC3-2 = ADC3 − ADC2. We recorded the patient characteristics, including age, gender, pulmonary metastasis, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). The patients were divided into the following 2 groups based on their histological TNR after postoperative: (I) the good-response group (≥90% necrosis, n=13) and (II) the poor-response group (<90% necrosis, n=28). Changes in the ADCs were compared between the good-response and poor-response groups. The different ADCs between the 2 groups were compared, and a receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed. A correlation analysis was performed to assess the correlations of the clinical features, laboratory features, and different ADCs with patients’ histopathological responses to NACT. Results The ADC2 (P<0.001), ADC3 (P=0.004), ADC3-1 (P=0.008), ADC3-2 (P=0.047), and ALP before NACT (P=0.019) were significantly higher in the good-response group than in the poor-response group. The ADC2 [area under the curve (AUC) =0.723; P=0.023], ADC3 (AUC =0.747; P=0.012), and ADC3-1 (AUC =0.761; P=0.008) showed good diagnostic performance. Based on the univariate binary logistic regression analysis, the ADC2 (P=0.022), ADC3 (P=0.009), ADC2-1 (P=0.041), and ADC3-1 (P=0.014) were correlated with the TNR. However, based on the multivariate analysis, these parameters were not significantly correlated with the TNR. Conclusions In patients with COS who are undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the ADC2 is a promisingindicator for predicting tumor response to chemotherapy in early.

Project description:To investigate if changes in tumor angiogenesis associated with complete pathologic response (pCR) or partial pathologic response (pPR) to treatment can be demonstrated by using diffuse optical spectroscopic (DOS) tomography.All participants in this prospective, HIPAA-compliant, institutional review board-approved study provided written informed consent. Eleven women with invasive breast carcinoma were imaged with DOS tomography prior to, during, and at completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapeutic regimens. By using region of interest (ROI) analysis, the DOS measure of total tissue hemoglobin (Hb(T)) was temporally correlated with quantitative measures of existing (CD31-expressing) and tumor-induced (CD105-expressing) vessels, in pretreatment and posttreatment tissue specimens, to assess change.Quantified angiogenesis alone in pretreatment core biopsy specimens did not predict treatment response, but mean vessel density (MVD) and mean vessel area (MVA) of CD105-expressing vessels were significantly decreased in women with pCR (n = 7) (P < .001 and P = .003, respectively). MVA of CD105-expressing vessels was also significantly reduced at comparison of pre- and posttreatment residual tumor for women with pPR (n = 4) (P = .033). A longitudinal analysis showed significant decreases (P = .001) in mean Hb(T) levels during neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast abnormality ROIs for women with pCR but not women with pPR. For women with pCR, but not women with pPR, pretreatment MVD of CD105-expressing vessels correlated with pretreatment Hb(T) (P ≤ .001).DOS tomographic examinations in women with breast cancer who are receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy show a mean decrease in Hb(T) with time in patients with pCR only. Observed pretreatment and posttreatment correlates with quantified angiogenesis markers confirm the likely biologic origin for this DOS signature and support its potential to predict angiogenic tissue response early in the treatment cycle.http://radiology.rsna.org/lookup/suppl/doi:10.1148/radiol.11100699/-/DC1.
