Effect of HtrA1 Polymorphism on Sensitivity to Chemotherapy in Patients with Colon Cancer.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND This study was performed to estimate the genetic effects of HtrA1 polymorphisms rs1049331 and rs11200638 on treatment response in stage III colon cancer patients receiving 5-FU-based chemotherapy. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 105 stage III colon cancer patients who received postoperative 5-FU based adjuvant chemotherapy were included in our study. Chemotherapy was performed in 3 cycles for the patients. HtrA1 rs1049331 and rs11200638 polymorphisms were genotyped via polymerase chain reaction with sequencing method. The treatment response was estimated according to the RECIST guidelines. RESULTS The response rate of the eligible patients was 53.33%. For rs1049331, the presences of TT genotype and T allele indicted reduced chemotherapy sensitivity (adjusted TT: OR=1.736, 95%CI: 1.001-3.011, P=0.049; T: OR=1.801, 95%CI: 1.054-2.932, P=0.039). The rs11200638 polymorphism had no significant association with chemotherapy sensitivity in the study population (P>0.05 for all). CONCLUSIONS HtrA1 rs1049331 polymorphism, but not rs11200638 polymorphism, can influence individual sensitivity to 5-FU-based treatment in stage III colon cancer patients.

Project description:Response to oxaliplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy varies among patients with stage II and III colon cancer; however, genetic alterations associated with this response remain incompletely characterized. A three-stage analytical framework, including the discovery, validation, and replication stages, was designed to explore genetic alterations modulating response to oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy in adjuvant setting among patients with stage II and III colon cancer receiving complete resection of tumor. Except for several somatic mutated genes, such as ARSD and ACE, showing less definitive associations with response to oxaliplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy, we found stable associations of rs6891545C > A polymorphism in SLF1 gene, a key component of DNA damage response system, with the response across all three stages. Patients with rs6891545 A allele had significantly lower risk of poor responsiveness to oxaliplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy at both discovery and validation stages, compared with ones possessing wild homozygous genotype CC (discovery stage: odds ratio, 0; 95% CI, 0-0.48; P = .005; validation stage: odds ratio, 0.33; 95% CI, 0.11-0.99; P = .048). In the replication cohort, rs6891545 A allele was confirmed to be strongly associated with improved DFS (hazard ratio, 0.43; 95% CI, 0.23-0.81; P = .007). Notably, the improvement persisted after controlling for sex, age, tumor location, differentiation, and stage (hazard ratio, 0.42; 95% CI, 0.22-0.80; P = .009). Moreover, in silico analysis unraveled strong impact of rs6891545 A allele on local secondary structure of SLF1 mRNA, possibly leading to low SLF1 protein expression. We conclude that the rs6891545C > A polymorphism may serve as an independent marker of response to oxaliplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with stage II and III colon cancer, with improved clinical benefit observed in patients with the A allele possibly attributable to low expression of SLF1 protein resulting in deficient DNA repair capacity.

Project description:BackgroundThe survival impact of multi-agent (MAC) compared with single-agent (SAC) adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) in elderly patients with stage III colon cancer (CC) remains controversial. The aim of this study was to compare survival outcomes of MAC and SAC in this population utilizing the National Cancer Database (NCDB).Patients and methodsPatients aged ≥70 years with pathological stage III CC diagnosed in 2004-2015 were identified in the NCDB. Univariate and multivariable analyses were conducted, and Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazard models were used to identify associations between MAC vs. SAC and overall survival (OS).ResultsAmong 41 707 elderly patients (≥70 years old) with stage III CC, about half (n = 20 257; 48.5%) received AC; the majority (n = 12 923, 63.8%) received MAC. The median age was 79 (range 70-90). The majority were female (n = 11 201, 55.3%), Caucasians (88%) and had moderately differentiated tumor grade (n = 12 619, 62.3%), tumor size >4 cm (11 785, 58.2%), and negative surgical margins (18 496, 91.3%). Low-risk stage III CC constituted 50.6% (n = 10 264) of the study population. High-risk stage III CC was associated with worse OS compared with low-risk disease (HR 0.35, 0.34-0.36, P < .001). Multi-agent chemotherapy was associated with a better 5-year OS compared with SAC (P < .001). High-risk stage III patients who received MAC vs. SAC had an OS of 4.2 vs. 3.4 years, respectively (P < .001). Low-risk stage III patients who received MAC vs. SAC had a median OS of 8.5 vs. 7 years (P < .001). In univariate and multivariable analyses, male sex, positive surgical margin, insurance and facility types, age, year of diagnosis, tumor size, and Charlson-Deyo score of >2 were associated with worse OS (P < .05).ConclusionsAny adjuvant chemotherapy has a trend of survival benefits. Multi-agent chemotherapy seems to have an enhanced benefit in the 70-75 age group. Multi-agent chemotherapy seemed to have similar efficacy as SAC in those aged >76 years.

Project description:Newer systemic therapies have the potential to decrease morbidity and mortality from metastatic colorectal cancer, yet such therapies are costly and have side effects. Little is known about their non-evidence-based use.We conducted a retrospective cohort study using commercial insurance claims from UnitedHealthcare, and identified incident cases of metastatic colon cancer (mCC) from July 2007 through April 2010. We evaluated the use of three regimens with recommendations against their use in the National Comprehensive Cancer Center Network Guidelines, a commonly used standard of care: 1) bevacizumab beyond progression; 2) single agent capecitabine as a salvage therapy after failure on a fluoropyridimidine-containing regimen; 3) panitumumab or cetuximab after progression on a prior epidermal growth factor receptor antibody. We performed sensitivity analyses of key assumptions regarding cohort selection. Costs from a payer perspective were estimated using the average sales price for the entire duration and based on the number of claims.A total of 7642 patients with incident colon cancer were identified, of which 1041 (14%) had mCC. Of those, 139 (13%) potentially received at least one of the three unsupported off-label (UOL) therapies; capecitabine was administered to 121 patients and 49 (40%) likely received it outside of clinical guidelines, at an estimated cost of $718,000 for 218 claims. Thirty-eight patients received panitumumab and six patients (16%) received it after being on cetuximab at least two months, at an estimated cost of $69,500 for 19 claims. Bevacizumab was administered to 884 patients. Of those, 90 (10%) patients received it outside of clinical guidelines, at an estimated costs of $1.34 million for 636 claims.In a large privately insured mCC cohort, a substantial number of patients potentially received UOL treatment. The economic costs and treatment toxicities of these therapies warrant increased efforts to stem their use in settings lacking sufficient scientific evidence.
