[Research Progress in Consistency of Driver Gene Status between Primary and Corresponding Metastatic Lesions in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer].

ABSTRACT: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), as the most common pathological type of lung cancer, has the characteristics of high malignancy and aggressiveness, and the lymph nodes and different organ metastases are prone to occur in advanced stages. In recent years, with the development of precision medicine, drug resistance and treatment failure in NSCLC metastasis sites have brought difficulties for molecular targeted therapy. And studies have confirmed that these may be related to new molecular changes after tumor metastasis. This review is to describe the state of the driving genes in the primary and metastatic sites of NSCLC, and systematically review the research progress on the consistency of the state of the driving genes between the primary and corresponding metastatic lesions, which provides a new idea for exploring the molecular targeted therapy of metastatic NSCLC.

Immune Heterogeneity Between Primary Tumors and Corresponding Metastatic Lesions and Response to Platinum Therapy in Primary Ovarian Cancer.

Project description:CD3+ and CD8+ lymphocytes are well known prognostic markers in primary ovarian cancer. In contrast, the predictive value of the immune infiltrate concerning treatment response and the involvement of immune heterogeneity between primary and metastatic lesions are poorly understood. In this study, the immune infiltrate of 49 primary tumors and 38 corresponding lesions in the omentum (n = 23) and the peritoneum (n = 15) was immunohistochemically analyzed and correlated with clinicopathological factors and platinum-sensitivity. Immune heterogeneity was observed between paired primary and metastatic lesions for all immune cell phenotypes. The stromal immune infiltrate was higher in the omental lesions than in the primary tumors, which was reflected by CD45 (p=0.007), CD3 (p=0.005), CD8 (p=0.012), and PD-1 (programmed cell-death protein 1) (p=0.013). A higher stromal infiltrate of both CD45+ and CD3+ cells in the omental lesions was associated with the detection of lymph node metastasis (CD45, p=0.018; CD3, p=0.037). Platinum-sensitive ovarian cancers revealed a higher intratumoral CD8+ infiltrate in the peritoneal lesions compared to the primary tumors (p=0.045). In contrast, higher counts of stromal PD-1+ cells in the peritoneal lesions have been associated with reduced platinum-sensitivity (p=0.045). Immune heterogeneity was associated with platinum response and might represent a selection marker for personalized therapy.

Genetic Alterations among Korean Melanoma Patients Showing Tumor Heterogeneity: A Comparison between Primary Tumors and Corresponding Metastatic Lesions.

Project description:PURPOSE:Melanoma is a highly heterogeneous neoplasm, composed of subpopulations of tumor cells with distinct molecular and biological phenotypes and genotypes. In this study, to determine the genetic heterogeneity between primary and metastatic melanoma in Korean melanoma patients, we evaluated several well-known genetic alterations of melanoma. In addition, to elucidate the clinical relevance of each genetic alteration and heterogeneity between primary and metastatic lesions, clinical features and patient outcome were collected. Materials and Methods:In addition to clinical data, BRAF, NRAS, GNAQ/11 mutation and KIT amplification data was acquired from an archived primary Korean melanoma cohort (KMC) of 188 patients. Among these patients, 43 patients were included for investigation of tumor heterogeneity between primary melanoma and its corresponding metastatic lesions. RESULTS:Overall incidence of genetic aberrations of the primary melanomas in KMC was 17.6% of BRAF V600, 12.6% of NRAS mutation, and 28.6% of KIT amplification. GNAQ/11 mutation was seen in 66.6% of the uveal melanoma patients. Patients with BRAF mutation were associated with advanced stage and correlated to poor prognosis (p < 0.01). Among 43 patients, 55.8% showed heterogeneity between primary and metastatic lesion. The frequency of BRAF mutation and KIT amplification significantly increased in the metastatic lesions compared to primary melanomas. <GNAQ/11 mutation showed 100% homogeneity in uveal melanoma patients. CONCLUSION:Our data demonstrated heterogeneity between primary melanomas and corresponding metastatic lesions for BRAF, NRAS mutation and KIT amplification. However, GNAQ/11 mutation was genetically homogeneous between primary and metastatic melanoma lesions in uveal melanoma.

Research progress in the treatment of small cell lung cancer.

Project description:Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) accounts for approximately 10-15% of all lung cancers. No significant improvement has been made for patients with SCLC in the past several decades. The main progresses were the thoracic radiation and prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) that improved the patient survival rate. For patients with limited disease and good performance status (PS), concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) followed by PCI should be considered. For extensive disease, the combination of etoposide and platinum-based chemotherapy remains the standard treatment and consolidative thoracic radiotherapy is beneficial for patients who have a significant respond to initial chemotherapy. However, the prognosis still remains poor. Recently, efforts have been focused on molecular targets and immunotherapy. But numerous molecular targets methods have failed to show a significant clinical benefit in patients with SCLC. It is anticipated that further development of research will depend on the on-going trials for molecular targeted therapy and immunotherapy which are promising and may improve the outcomes for SCLC in the next decade.

Consistency of the S5 DNA methylation classifier in formalin-fixed biopsies versus corresponding exfoliated cells for the detection of pre-cancerous cervical lesions.

Project description:Methylation biomarkers are promising tools for diagnosis and disease prevention. The S5 classifier is aimed at the prevention of cervical cancer by the early detection of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). S5 is based on pyrosequencing a promoter region of EPB41L3 and five late regions of HPV types 16, 18, 31, and 33 following bisulfite conversion of DNA. Good biomarkers should perform well in a variety of sample types such as exfoliated cells, fresh frozen or formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) materials. Here, we tested the performance of S5 on 315 FFPE biopsies with paired exfoliated cervical samples using four different conversion kits (Epitect Bisulfite, Epitect Fast Bisulfite, EZ DNA Methylation, and EZ DNA Methylation-Lightning). The S5 values from FFPE biopsies for all kits were significantly correlated with those obtained from their paired exfoliated cells. For the EZ DNA Methylation kit, we observed an average increased methylation of 4.4% in FFPE. This was due to incomplete conversion of DNA (73% for FFPE vs. 95% for cells). The other kits had a DNA conversion rate in FFPE similar to the cells (95%-97%). S5 performed well at discriminating <CIN2 lesions from CIN2+ lesions on the FFPE with all kits given optimized adjustments to the cut-off. The area under the curve (AUC) for S5 on FFPE was not significantly different from the paired cells (0.74-0.79 vs. 0.81). The best sensitivity and specificity were obtained for EZ DNA Methylation after the adjustment of the cut-off to reflect its lower conversion rate. Consistent methylation results can be obtained from FFPE material regardless of the conversion kit used. The S5 classifier performed as well on FFPE material as on exfoliated cells with adjusted cut-off allowing easier clinical implementation.

Desmoplasia in Primary Tumors and Metastatic Lesions of Pancreatic Cancer.

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is characterized by high levels of fibrosis, termed desmoplasia, which is thought to hamper the efficacy of therapeutics treating PDAC. Our primary focus was to evaluate differences in the extent of desmoplasia in primary tumors and metastatic lesions. As metastatic burden is a primary cause for mortality in PDAC, the extent of desmoplasia in metastases may help to determine whether desmoplasia targeting therapeutics will benefit patients with late-stage, metastatic disease.We sought to assess desmoplasia in metastatic lesions of PDAC and compare it with that of primary tumors. Fifty-three patients' primaries and 57 patients' metastases were stained using IHC staining techniques.We observed a significant negative correlation between patient survival and extracellular matrix deposition in primary tumors. Kaplan-Meier curves for collagen I showed median survival of 14.6 months in low collagen patients, and 6.4 months in high-level patients (log rank, P < 0.05). Low-level hyaluronan patients displayed median survival times of 24.3 months as compared with 9.3 months in high-level patients (log rank, P < 0.05). Our analysis also indicated that extracellular matrix components, such as collagen and hyaluronan, are found in high levels in both primary tumors and metastatic lesions. The difference in the level of desmoplasia between primary tumors and metastatic lesions was not statistically significant.Our results suggest that both primary tumors and metastases of PDAC have highly fibrotic stroma. Thus, stromal targeting agents have the potential to benefit PDAC patients, even those with metastatic disease.

[Research Progress of KRAS Mutation in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer].

Project description:Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for 80%-85% of all patients with lung cancer, the majority of patients with lung cancer at the time of diagnosis is in the advanced stage. The development of target therapy based on has changed the mode of treatment in patients with advanced NSCLC. In NSCLC, epidermal growth factor receptor mutation (EGFR) fusion with echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like4-anaplastic lymphoma kinase (EML4-ALK) has been shown to be a powerful biomarker. It is well known that KRAS is also NSCLC one of the most common mutations in oncogenes, although more than 20 years ago KRAS mutation was found in NSCLC. At present, although there are many drugs used to treat NSCLC patients with KRAS mutation, there is no selective or specific inhibitor for the direct elimination of KRAS activity. NSCLC patients with KRAS mutation have poor responsiveness to most systemic therapy. However, individualized therapy for activated signaling pathways with targeted drugs has a good effect on the prognosis of NSCLC patients with KRAS mutation. In addition, the prognostic and predictive role of KRAS mutation in NSCLC remains unclear. In this review, we focus on the research progress of NSCLC with KRAS mutation, including molecular biology, clinicopathological features, prognosis and prediction of KRAS mutation, which will help to improve the understanding of NSCLC in KRAS mutation.?.

HER2 expression patterns in paired primary and metastatic endometrial cancer lesions.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Despite successful implementation of drugs targeting the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) receptor in breast and gastric cancers, the potential of HER2 as a therapeutic target in other cancers has been less studied, including endometrial cancer. We investigated expression levels of HER2 (ERBB2) in a large cohort of endometrial cancer lesions, also including complex atypical hyperplasia and metastatic lesions. METHODS:67 precursor lesions, 790 primary endometrial cancers and 383 metastatic lesions were investigated for HER2 expression in relation to clinicopathologic features and outcome. Protein levels were assessed by immunohistochemistry (using the HercepTest and staining index (SI) criteria), mRNA levels by microarrays and amplification status by chromogenic in situ hybridisation. RESULTS:High HER2 protein levels were significantly associated with features of aggressive disease and increased mRNA ERBB2 levels. HER2 expression defined by the SI proved to be a better predictor of survival compared with the HercepTest. A discordant HER2 expression pattern between paired primary and metastatic lesions was detected, revealing substantial reduction in HER2 expression from primary to metastatic disease. CONCLUSIONS:Loss of HER2 expression is common in metastatic endometrial cancer lesions and assessment of HER2 levels in the metastatic lesions may be important to define the potential benefit of anti-HER2 treatments in endometrial cancer patients.

[Research Progress of CDK4/6 Inhibitors in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer].

Project description:Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for 80%-85% of lung cancer. Malignant tumors can proliferate indefinitely, and cell cycle regulation is abnormal which is one of the characteristics of malignant tumor. Cyclin D-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitor can prevent tumor cells from entering S phase through G? phase and inhibit tumor proliferation. The CDK4/6 inhibitor has achieved good effect in hormone receptor positive breast cancer, and CDK4/6 inhibitor combined with endocrine therapy has become a standard treatment for this kind of patients. Cell cycle regulation is usually abnormal in NSCLC, which incidence is about 22%-45%. CDK4/6 inhibitors have also carried out a series of research and achieved some results, which may become a new treatment in the future. This review focuses on the research progress of CDK4/6 inhibitors in NSCLC, including the mechanism and the approved drugs, clinical research progress in NSCLC, biomarkers for efficacy prediction and current limitations.

[Research Progress of Immunotherapy and Prognostic Markers in Small Cell Lung Cancer].

Project description:The efficacy of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has been obviously improved recent years, while the survival of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients remains inferior for limit treatment options. The incidence of SCLC accounts for 15% of the overall incidence of lung cancer, and it is characterized with high malignancy, rapid growth, early widespread metastasis, making it very difficult to treat. With the approval of immunotherapy for a variety of solid tumors including NSCLC, as a relatively immunogenic cancer species, relevant clinical researchs on SCLC are also underway and have made certain progress. More importantly, due to the existence of tumor heterogeneity, exploring relevant markers that can predict the efficacy of SCLC is essential for accurate therapy. This review describes the latest advances in SCLC immunotherapy and biomarkers related to the efficacy of immunotherapy.
