Clinical characteristics and prognosis of basaloid squamous cell carcinoma of the lung: a population-based analysis.

ABSTRACT: Background:This study analyzed the clinical features and prognosis of basaloid squamous cell carcinoma of the lung (BSC), and constructed a nomogram to predict the prognoses of patients. Methods:The information of pure BSC patients was obtained in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database between 2004 and 2015. Then, it was evaluated, and compared with the data of lung squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), lung large cell carcinoma (LCC) and lung adenocarcinoma (LAC) patients. Subsequently, we used univariate and multivariate analyses to investigate the independent factors related to the prognoses of patients with BSC and constructed a nomogram to verify the prognoses. Results:A total of 425 patients diagnosed with BSC were enrolled. Compared with patients with SCC, LCC and LAC, the mean survival time of BSC patients was better than all of them. Compared with SCC, there were significant differences between the characteristics of grade (P < 0.001), total stage (P < 0.001), T stage (P < 0.001), N stage (P < 0.001), M stage (P < 0.001), surgery (P < 0.001), radiotherapy (P < 0.001), and chemotherapy (P < 0.001), while BSC also had significantly different clinical characteristics from LCC and LAC. Univariate and multivariate survival analyses showed that age (P < 0.001), T stage (P < 0.001), N stage (P = 0.009), M stage (P < 0.001), and surgery (P < 0.001) were independent prognostic factors of BSC. The survival of patients undergoing lobectomy was significantly better than sublobar resection, with an OR of 0.389 (0.263-0.578). We constructed a nomogram with a C-index of 0.750 (95% confidence interval) based on the results of multivariate analysis. The calibration curves based on nomogram scores indicated that the nomogram could accurately predict the prognosis of patients. Conclusions:BSC had unique clinical and prognostic features. T stage, N stage, M stage, age, and surgery were independently associated with overall survival (OS). Lobectomy was a relative ideal choice for patients with BSC. The nomogram effectively predicted the OS at 1-, 3-, and 5-years.

Project description:BackgroundTo better understand the clinicopathological features and prognostic profiles of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the breast.MethodsInformation on breast cancer was obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (2004-2016). Comparative analyses were carried out to investigate the heterogeneity in the clinicopathological characteristics and survival outcomes between SCC and invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC), while propensity score matching was conducted to analyze the variations among baseline characteristics. Prognostic factors for SCC of the breast were successively identified using Cox regression analysis.ResultsA total of 382 SCC patients and 561477 IDC patients were identified in this study. Comparatively, the SCC cohort exhibited a higher proportion of male individuals, poor differentiation, an advanced TNM stage, an increasing percentage of triple-negative (TN) subtype, an increasing rate of organ involvement, and less access to therapeutics. The aggressive profile was consistent in the TN subgroup, with a significantly higher proportion in SCC than in IDC (25.7% vs 6.8%). Prognosis of SCC was profoundly poorer than that of IDC (mOS, 78.6 months and 121.6 months, P < .0001; mBCSS 91.9 months vs 135.6 months, P < .0001), of which the inferior tendency remained stable among disease stage and therapeutic options, while no difference was detected in the 2 subgroups with the TN subtype. The 2-year survival rate was 66.9% and the 5-year survival rate was 51.4%, with the risk factors being older age, bilateral disease, advanced TNM stage, bone and visceral involvement, surgical intervention, radiation treatment, and chemotherapy.ConclusionsThis study systematically analyzed the heterogeneous characteristics of SCC of the breast in comparison with IDC. Squamous cell breast cancer presented with increasing aggressive behavior and inferior prognosis. Prospective studies should focus on this subgroup and introduce individualized therapeutic protocols in clinical practice.

Project description:BackgroundPulmonary large cell carcinoma (LCC) is an infrequent neoplasm with a poor prognosis. This study explored the clinical characteristics and survival prognostic factors of LCC patients.MethodsPatient data were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Chi-square tests or rank-sum tests were used to compare differences in clinical characteristics. Log-rank tests, univariate, and multivariate analyses were performed to investigate the independent factors of survival. Analyses of stage I-IV patients were performed to further explore the optimal treatment.ResultsIn total, 3197 LCC patients were included in this analysis. Compared with other non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs), there was a worse overall survival (OS) from LCC. LCC was more common in males, over age 60 and in the upper lobe. A total of 73.6% of patients were stage III/IV. The median OS of stage I-IV patients was 42 months, 22 months, 11 months, and three months, respectively. The elderly, males, later stage, and main bronchus location, or overlapping lesions were risk factors for survival prognosis. In stage I-III patients, treatment including surgery could significantly reduce the risk of death by 60% at least compared with no therapy. Surgery was still beneficial for stage IV patients, and the hazard ratio (HR) compared with no therapy was 0.462 (P = 0.001).ConclusionsOur study concluded that LCC has unique clinical features, and that age, sex, primary site, stage, and treatment are significantly related to OS. Surgery based comprehensive treatments are effective for LCC.Key pointsSignificant findings of the study In stage IV patients, chemotherapy or radiotherapy combined with surgery could further improve survival. When surgical resection involved more than one lobe, it may be beneficial for survival prognosis. What this study adds LCC patients were principally male and over age 60, with later stages and poor survival prognosis. Age, sex, stage, primary site and therapy are closely related to survival.

Project description:ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to describe the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of primary small cell carcinoma of the breast (PSCCB) and compare PSCCB with breast invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC).DesignA retrospective cohort study.SettingData of patients with PSCCB and breast IDC were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database between 2004 and 2016.ParticipantsEighty-three patients with PSCCB and 410 699 patients with breast IDC were enrolled in the present cohort study.Materials and methodsPatients with PSCCB and breast IDC were identified from the SEER database between 2004 and 2016. The clinicopathological characteristics and survival of patients with PSCCB and IDC were compared. Propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed to adjust for differences in baseline characteristics when comparing overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS). Moreover, OS-/CSS-specific nomograms were established to predict the prognosis of PSCCB.ResultsCompared with IDC, PSCCB was significantly correlated with older age, male, higher pathological grade, higher TNM (tumour, node, metastases) stage, a higher proportion of triple-negative breast cancer, a lower proportion of ER/PR positivity and significantly worse clinical outcome. The median OS and CSS of patients with PSCCB were 23.0 m (95%CI 13.0 to 56.0) and 28.0 m (95%CI 18.0 to 66.0), respectively. The 5-year OS and CSS rates in the PSCCB group were 36.1% and 42.4%, respectively. In the matched cohort after PSM analysis, patients with PSCCB had significantly worse OS and CSS than IDC patients. Multivariate Cox regression analysis demonstrated that T stage and administration of chemotherapy were independent prognostic factors for both OS and CSS in patients with PSCCB. The C-index for OS-/CSS-specific nomogram was 0.75 (95%CI 0.66 to 0.85)/0.79 (95%CI 0.69 to 0.89), respectively. The calibration curve in the ROC analysis indicated that the predicted value was consistent with the actual observation value. Decision curve analysis suggested that the nomogram model has a significant positive net benefit from the risk of death and are better than the traditional TNM staging system.ConclusionPSCCB has distinct clinicopathological characteristics, and patients with PSCCB have significantly worse clinical outcomes than those with IDC.
