Dynamic Risk Profiling Using Serial Tumor Biomarkers for Personalized Outcome Prediction.

ABSTRACT: Accurate prediction of long-term outcomes remains a challenge in the care of cancer patients. Due to the difficulty of serial tumor sampling, previous prediction tools have focused on pretreatment factors. However, emerging non-invasive diagnostics have increased opportunities for serial tumor assessments. We describe the Continuous Individualized Risk Index (CIRI), a method to dynamically determine outcome probabilities for individual patients utilizing risk predictors acquired over time. Similar to "win probability" models in other fields, CIRI provides a real-time probability by integrating risk assessments throughout a patient's course. Applying CIRI to patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma, we demonstrate improved outcome prediction compared to conventional risk models. We demonstrate CIRI's broader utility in analogous models of chronic lymphocytic leukemia and breast adenocarcinoma and perform a proof-of-concept analysis demonstrating how CIRI could be used to develop predictive biomarkers for therapy selection. We envision that dynamic risk assessment will facilitate personalized medicine and enable innovative therapeutic paradigms.

Project description:PurposeTo assess the added value of serial blood biomarkers in liver metastasis stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT).Materials and methodsEighty-nine patients were retrospectively included. Pre- and midtreatment blood samples were analyzed for potential biomarkers of the treatment response. Three biomarker classes were studied: gene mutation status, complete blood count, and inflammatory cytokine concentration in plasma. One-year local failure (LF) and 2-year overall survival (OS) were chosen as study end points. Multivariate logistic regression was used for response prediction. Added predictive benefit was assessed by quantifying the difference between the predictive performance of a baseline model (clinicopathologic and dosimetric predictors) and that of the biomarker-enhanced model, using three metrics: (1) likelihood ratio, (2) predictive variance, and (3) area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC).ResultsThe most important predictors of LF were mutation in KRAS gene (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.92, 95% CI, [1.17 to 7.28], P = .02) and baseline and midtreatment concentration of plasma interleukin-6 (HR = 1.15 [1.04 to 1.26] and 1.06 [1.01 to 1.13], P = .01). Absolute lymphocyte count and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio at baseline as well as neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio at baseline and before fraction 3 (HR = 1.33 [1.16 to 1.51] and 1.19 [1.09 to 1.30]) had the most significant association with OS (P = .0003). Addition of baseline GEN and inflammatory plasma cytokine biomarkers in predicting LF, respectively, increased AUC by 0.06 (from 0.73 to 0.79) and 0.07 (from 0.77 to 0.84). In predicting OS, inclusion of midtreatment complete blood count biomarkers increased AUC from 0.72 to 0.80, along with significant boosts in likelihood ratio and predictive variance.ConclusionInclusion of serial blood biomarkers leads to significant gain in predicting response to liver metastasis stereotactic body radiation therapy and can guide treatment personalization.

Project description:BACKGROUND:To develop an individually-tailored dynamic risk assessment model following a multistep, multifactorial process of the Correa's gastric cancer model. METHODS:First, we estimated the state-to-state transition rates following Correa's five-step carcinogenic model and assessed the effect of risk factors, including Helicobacter pylori infection, history of upper gastrointestinal disease, lifestyle, and dietary habits, on the step-by-step transition rates using data from a high-risk population in Matsu Islands, Taiwan. Second, we incorporated information on the gastric cancer carcinogenesis affected by genomic risk factors (including inherited susceptibility and irreversible genomic changes) based on literature to generate a genetic and epigenetic risk assessment model by using a simulated cohort identical to the Matsu population. The combination of conventional and genomic risk factors enables us to develop the personalized transition risk scores and composite scores. RESULTS:The state-by-state transition rates per year were 0.0053, 0.7523, 0.1750, and 0.0121 per year from normal mucosa to chronic active gastritis, chronic active gastritis to atrophic gastritis, atrophic gastritis to intestinal metaplasia, and intestinal metaplasia to gastric cancer, respectively. Compared with the median risk group, the most risky decile had a 5.22-fold risk of developing gastric cancer, and the least risky decile around one-twelfth of the risk. The median 10-year risk for gastric cancer incidence was 0.77%. The median lifetime risk for gastric cancer incidence was 5.43%. By decile, the 10-year risk ranged from 0.06 to 4.04% and the lifetime risk ranged from 0.42 to 21.04%. CONCLUSIONS:We demonstrate how to develop a personalized dynamic risk assessment model with the underpinning of Correa's cascade to stratify the population according to their risk for progression to gastric cancer. Such a risk assessment model not only facilitates the development of an individually-tailored preventive strategy with treatment for H. pylori infection and endoscopic screening but also provides short-term and long-term indicators to evaluate the program effectiveness.
