Postoperative radiation performed at the same surgical facility associated with improved overall survival in oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:The purpose of this analysis is to evaluate whether postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) at the same facility as surgery portends to better survival outcomes compared to PORT given at a different facility. METHODS:Patients underwent upfront surgery at the National Cancer Database reporting facility followed by PORT. PORT was coded as performed at either the same facility or at a different facility as surgery. RESULTS:A total of 10?832 patients were selected. Five-year overall survival (OS) was higher in patients undergoing PORT at the same facility: 52.5% vs 48.4% (P?

Postoperative serum squamous cell carcinoma antigen and carcinoembryonic antigen predict overall survival in surgical patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Project description:BackgroundTumor markers are routinely used in clinical practice. However, for resectable patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), they are applied infrequently as their prognostic significance is incompletely understood.MethodsThis historical cohort study included 2769 patients with resected ESCC from 2011 to 2018 in a high-risk area in northern China. Their clinical data were extracted from the Electronic Medical Record. Survival analysis of eight common tumor markers was performed with multivariable Cox proportional hazards regressions.ResultsWith a median follow-up of 39.5 months, 901 deaths occurred. Among the eight target markers, elevated postoperative serum SCC (Squamous cell carcinoma antigen) and CEA (Carcinoembryonic antigen) predicted poor overall survival (SCC HRadjusted: 2.67, 95% CI: 1.70-4.17; CEA HRadjusted: 2.36, 95% CI: 1.14-4.86). In contrast, preoperative levels were not significantly associated with survival. Stratified analysis also demonstrated poorer survival in seropositive groups of postoperative SCC and CEA within each TNM stage. The above associations were generally robust using different quantiles of concentrations above the upper limit of the clinical normal range as alternative cutoffs. Regarding temporal trends of serum levels, SCC and CEA were similar. Their concentrations fell rapidly after surgery and thereafter remained relatively stable.ConclusionPostoperative serum SCC and CEA levels predict the overall survival of ESCC surgical patients. More importance should be attached to the use of these markers in clinical applications.

Radiation therapy treatment facility and overall survival in the adjuvant setting for locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Treatment at high-volume surgical facilities (HVSFs) provides a survival benefit for patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs); however, it is unknown what role postoperative radiation therapy (PORT) plays in achieving the improved outcomes. METHODS:From the National Cancer Database, 6844 patients with locally advanced invasive HNSCCs of the oral cavity, oropharynx, larynx, and hypopharynx who underwent definitive surgery with PORT between 2004 and 2013 were identified. HVSFs were those in the top percentile for annual case volume during this period. RESULTS:The median follow-up was 54 months. Compared with a lower volume surgical facility (LVSF), an HVSF improved 5-year overall survival (OS; 57.7% at HVSFs vs 52.5% at LVSFs; P = .0003). Overall, 31.6% of the patients changed their radiation therapy (RT) facility after surgery, with this being more common at HVSFs (39.1% vs 28.9% at LVSFs; P < .001). Among those patients undergoing surgery at an HVSF, remaining at the same facility for RT improved 5-year OS (63.1% vs 49.3% with a facility change; P < .0001). A propensity score-matched cohort of patients treated at HVSFs confirmed the improved 5-year OS when patients remained at the treating HVSF for RT (59.2% vs 50.7% with a facility change; P = .005). In a multivariate analysis, treatment at an HVSF and remaining there for RT resulted in a reduced hazard of death (hazard ratio, 0.81; 95% confidence interval, 0.69-0.94; P = .006). CONCLUSIONS:The survival benefit associated with HVSFs persists only when patients remain at the facility for RT, and this suggests that facility specialization and/or high-volume PORT may assist in driving the OS improvement.

Postoperative radiotherapy is associated with improved overall survival for alveolar ridge squamous cell carcinoma with adverse pathologic features.

Project description:BackgroundAlveolar ridge squamous cell carcinoma (ARSCC) is poorly represented in randomized trials.MethodsAdults in the National Cancer Database diagnosed with ARSCC between 2010 and 2014 who should be considered for postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) based on National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN)-defined risk factors were identified.ResultsEight hundred forty-five (58%) of 1457 patients meeting the inclusion criteria received PORT. PORT was associated with improved overall survival (OS) on unadjusted (hazard ratio [HR] 0.83, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.70-0.98, P = .02) and multivariable (HR 0.78, 95% CI 0.64-0.94, P = .002) analyses. PORT was associated with significantly improved 5-year OS for patients with 1 (68% vs 58%, P < .001), 2 (52% vs 31%, P < .001), and ≥3 (38% vs 24%, P < .001) NCCN-defined risk factors. Prognostic variables significantly associated with worse OS on multivariable analysis included advanced age, primary tumor size ≥3 cm, high grade, positive margin(s), stage N2-3, level IV/V nodal metastasis, and extranodal extension.ConclusionPORT for resected ARSCC with adverse pathologic features is associated with significantly improved OS.

Impact of postoperative radiation therapy for deeply invasive oral cavity cancer upstaged to stage III.

Project description:BACKGROUND:This article is about the eighth edition staging guidelines for upstaged patients with oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC) with >10?mm depth to pT3. This upstages some patients from stage I-II to stage III, a point at which patients are traditionally considered for postoperative radiation therapy (PORT). The role of PORT in patients upstaged for >10?mm depth is unknown. METHODS:We identified patients with surgically resected stage I-II OCSCC with >10?mm depth who were upstaged to stage III. We used Cox proportional hazard modeling to compare patients who received PORT to those who did not (median follow-up 38.6?months). RESULTS:We observed that 3.6% of patients with OCSCC were upstaged to stage III for depth?>10?mm including 823 eligible patients. On adjusted analyses, PORT was associated with improved overall survival in patients upstaged to stage III (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 0.47, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.30-0.73). CONCLUSION:PORT is associated with improved survival for patients with OCSCC upstaged to stage III for >10?mm depth.

Increasing Heart Dose Reduces Overall Survival in Patients Undergoing Postoperative Radiation Therapy for NSCLC.

Project description:IntroductionGiven the concern for cardiopulmonary toxicity in patients with NSCLC undergoing postoperative radiation therapy (PORT), the purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between heart dose and overall survival (OS) in patients undergoing PORT with modern techniques.MethodsThis is a retrospective study of consecutive patients with NSCLC treated with PORT between May 2004 and January 2017. Clinical records were reviewed and radiation dose distributions were analyzed for association with OS.ResultsA total of 284 patients were analyzed. At the time of surgery, most patients had pathologic American Joint Committee on Cancer seventh edition stage III disease (91.2 %) and received either preoperative or adjuvant chemotherapy (92.3 %). Most patients underwent a lobectomy (81.3 %) and had R0 (80.6 %) or R1 (19.4 %) resection. PORT was delivered with a median radiation dose of 54 Gy, and 70.4 % of patients were treated with intensity-modulated radiation therapy. Dosimetric variables across a large range of doses to the heart were highly significant (p < 0.05) for OS. The volume of the heart receiving 8 Gy (HV8) was the most significant dosimetric variable (p < 0.001), and the median HV8 was 35.5 %. The median OS was 33.2 versus 53.6 months (p < 0.005) for patients with HV8 above or below 35.5 %, respectively. On multivariable analysis accounting for other potential prognostic confounders, HV8 remained highly significant (p < 0.001).ConclusionsThe data reveal a strong correlation between increasing heart dose and OS in patients with NSCLC undergoing PORT. Taken together with the recently presented LungART trial, lowering heart dose in PORT patients may help to decrease the risk of morbidity and mortality and improve the therapeutic ratio of PORT.

Outcomes of oral cavity cancer patients treated with surgery followed by postoperative intensity modulated radiation therapy.

Project description:ObjectivesAlthough treatment paradigms have not changed significantly, radiotherapy, surgery, and imaging techniques have improved, leading us to investigate oncologic and survival outcomes for oral cavity squamous cell cancer (OCSCC) patients treated with surgery followed by postoperative IMRT.Material and methodsRecords of patients with pathological diagnosis of OCSCC treated between 2000 and 2012 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients' demographic, disease, and treatment criteria were extracted. Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival curves.ResultsTwo hundred eighty-nine patients were analyzed. Median follow-up was 35months. Two hundred sixty-eight had neck dissections (93%), of which 66% had nodal involvement, and 51% of those positive dissections had extracapsular extension. Forty patients received induction chemotherapy and 107 received concurrent chemotherapy. Median dose to high risk clinical target volume was 60Gy/30 fractions. The 5-year locoregional control and overall survival rates were 76% and 57%, respectively. Tumors with >1.5cm depth of invasion had significantly higher risk of local failure compared with ≤1.5cm (p<0.001). In multivariate analysis, positive and no neck dissection (p=0.01), positive lymphovascular invasion (p=0.006) and >1.5cm depth of invasion (p=0.003) were independent predictors of poorer survival.ConclusionsDisease outcomes were consistent with historical data and did not appear compromised by the use of IMRT.

Overall aiEMT in surgical samples of esophageal cancer patients

Project description:Surgical samples have long been used as important subjects for cancer research. In accordance with an increase of neoadjuvant therapy, biopsy samples have recently become imperative for cancer transcriptome. On the other hand, both biopsy and surgical samples are available for expression profiling for predicting clinical outcome by adjuvant therapy; however, it is still unclear whether surgical sample expression profiles are useful for the prediction by the use of biopsy samples because little has been done about comparative gene expression profiling between the two kinds of samples. When gene expression profiles were compared between biopsy and surgical samples, artificially induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (aiEMT) was found in the surgical samples. This study will evoke the fundamental misinterpretation including underestimation of the prognostic evaluation power of markers by overestimation of EMT in past cancer research, and will furnish some advice for the near future as follows: 1) Understanding how long the tissues were under an ischemic condition; 2) Prevalence of biopsy samples for in vivo expression profiling with low biases on basic and clinical research; and 3) Checking cancer cell contents and normal- or necrotic-tissue contamination in biopsy samples for prevalence.

Post-operative radiation therapy to the surgical cavity with standard fractionation in patients with brain metastases.

Project description:The paradigm for post-operative cavity radiation therapy has shifted to more targeted, less morbid approaches. Single-fraction or hypofractionated radiation therapy is a common approach to treating the postoperative cavity but is associated with a local failure rate 20-40%. We employed an alternative treatment strategy involving fractionated partial brain radiation therapy to the surgical cavity. Patients with brain metastases who underwent radiation treatment 30-42?Gy in 3?Gy/fraction regimens to surgical cavity were retrospectively identified. The 6-month and 12-month freedom from local failure rates were 97.0% and 88.2%. Three patients (7%) experienced local failure at 4, 6, and 22 months. Of these, the histologies were colorectal adenocarcinoma (N?=?1) and breast adenocarcinoma (N?=?2). The 6-month and 12-month freedom from distant brain metastases rates were 74.1% and 68.8%, respectively, and the 6-month and 12-month overall survival rates were 84.9% and 64.3% respectively. The median overall survival was 39 months, and there were no events of late radionecrosis. Fractionated partial brain irradiation to the surgical cavity of resected brain metastases results in low rates of local failure. This strategy represents an alternative to SRS and WBRT.
