LincRNA-p21 Levels Relates to Survival and Post-Operative Radiotherapy Benefit in Rectal Cancer Patients.

ABSTRACT: LincRNA-p21 is a long non-coding RNA involved in the p53 pathway and angiogenesis regulation that acts as prognostic marker in several tumors. In the present study, we aimed to analyze the clinical value of lincRNA-p21 in 177 resected stage I-III colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. Tumor and normal paired tissue and plasma samples from tumor-draining mesenteric veins and paired peripheral veins were analyzed. LincRNA-p21 expression was determined by RTqPCR and correlated with disease-free (DFS) and overall survival (OS). LincRNA-p21 was downregulated in tumor versus normal tissue (p = 0.0012). CRC patients with high lincRNA-p21 expression had shorter DFS (p = 0.0372) and shorter OS (p = 0.0465). Of note, the major prognostic impact was observed in the subset of rectal cancer patients where patients with high lincRNA-p21 levels had worse DFS (p = 0.0226) and OS (p = 0.0457). Interestingly, rectal cancer patients with high lincRNA-p21 benefited from post-operative chemoradiotherapy, as indicated by a longer OS in the group of high lincRNA-p21 patients receiving post-operative chemoradiotherapy (p = 0.04). Finally, patients with high lincRNA-p21 levels in mesenteric vein (MV) had shorter OS (p = 0.0329). LincRNA-p21 is a marker of advanced disease and worse outcome in CRC. Moreover, rectal cancer patients with high lincRNA-p21 levels could benefit from post-operative chemoradiotherapy, and plasmatic-lincRNA-p21 is a promising liquid biopsy biomarker.

Project description:Background Surgical resection is not usually recommended for lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients with bone metastases. However, the criteria for surgery are constantly being adjusted and there is a need to focus on the prognostic role of cancer-directed surgery (CDS) for bone metastatic LUAD patients investigate the factors influencing survival of CDS. We determined the survival benefit of CDS for LUAD patients with bone metastases and to develop a prognostic nomogram to predict overall survival (OS) for patients after surgery. Methods LUAD patients with bone metastases from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database between 2010–2015 were included and divided into CDS and non-CDS groups. The propensity score matching (PSM) was used to balance baseline characteristics. We used Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank tests to compare cancer-specific survival (CSS) and OS between the two groups. Patients underwent CDS were randomly divided into training and validation cohorts to develop and validate a nomogram model to predict postoperative prognosis outcome–OS. Results Patients who underwent CDS had a better OS and CSS than those who did not underwent CDS (e.g., 1-year OS rate: 56.9% vs. 30.1%). Independent prognostic factors were selected by Cox regression analysis for CDS patients including age, sex, race, histological grade, N stage, and chemotherapy, and a nomogram was constructed to predict 1-, 2-, and 3-year OS after surgery according to the prognostic factors. The calibration curve and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for the nomogram showed the model had a high predictive accuracy. [Area under the curve (AUC) at 1, 2, and 3 years in the training cohort were 0.735, 0.756 and 0.782, and in the validation cohort were 0.703, 0.758 and 0.836, respectively]. In addition, patients were divided into high-risk and low-risk groups based on prognostic scores, and Kaplan-Meier curves showed significant differences in prognosis between the two groups. Conclusions These results indicated that patients with bone metastasis of LUAD received survival benefit from CDS. The prognostic nomograms could assist clinicians in specifying individualized assessments, but further research is needed.

Project description:BACKGROUND:To compare online adaptive radiation therapy (ART) to a clinically implemented plan selection strategy (PS) with respect to dose to the organs at risk (OAR) for rectal cancer. METHODS:The first 20 patients treated with PS between May-September 2016 were included. This resulted in 10 short (SCRT) and 10 long (LCRT) course radiotherapy treatment schedules with a total of 300 Conebeam CT scans (CBCT). New dual arc VMAT plans were generated using auto-planning for both the online ART and PS strategy. For each fraction bowel bag, bladder and mesorectum were delineated on daily Conebeam CTs. The dose distribution planned was used to calculate daily DVHs. Coverage of the CTV was calculated, as defined by the dose received by 99% of the CTV volume (D99%). The volume of normal tissue irradiated with 95% of the prescribed fraction dose was calculated by calculating the volume receiving 95% of the prescribed fraction or more dose minus the volume of the CTV. For each fraction the difference between the plan selection and online adaptive strategy of each DVH parameter was calculated, as well as the average difference per patient. RESULTS:Target coverage remained the same for online ART. The median volume of the normal tissue irradiated with 95% of the prescribed dose dropped from 642?cm3 (PS) to 237?cm3 (online-ART)(p <?0.001). Online ART reduced dose to the OARs for all tested dose levels for SCRT and LCRT (p <?0.001). For V15Gy of the bowel bag the median difference over all fractions of all patients was -?126?cm3 in LCRT, while the average difference per patient ranged from -?206?cm3 to -?40?cm3. For SCRT the median difference was -?62?cm3, while the range of the average difference per patient was -?105?cm3 to -?51?cm3. For V15Gy of the bladder the median difference over all fractions of all patients was 26% in LCRT, while the average difference per patient ranged from -?34 to 12%. For SCRT the median difference of V95% was -?8%, while the range of the average difference per patient was -?29 to 0%. CONCLUSIONS:Online ART for rectal cancer reduces dose the OARs significantly compared to a clinically implemented plan selection strategy, without compromising target coverage.
