Survival trends and prognostic factors in patients with solitary plasmacytoma of bone: A population-based study.

ABSTRACT: Solitary plasmacytoma of bone (SPB) is a single, isolated plasmacytoma originated from the bone. The survival trends of patients with SPB in recent years remain unknown. And the prognostic system of SPB may also need to be refined. The 18 Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) databases of the National Cancer Institute in the United States were used to extract data for this study. The third edition of the International Classification of Disease for Oncology (ICD-O-3) code 9731 was used to identify cases of SPB. For each case, factors including age at the time of diagnosis, sex, race, marital status, insurance status, primary sites of tumors, and the use of surgery were collected. The outcomes of patients with SPB were compared between two groups. And the prognostic impacts of baseline characteristics and use of surgery was studied. A total of 4103 (from 1976 to 2016) cases of SPB were identified. The median age was 65 years old. Patients in time period-2 (2008-2016) show better survival as compared to those in time period-1(1976-2007) (median overall survival: 88 months vs. 73 months, p = 0.0332). Age ? 65 years and being male were associated with better outcomes. The widowed individuals had significantly inferior survival and myeloma-specific survival than the single, married, or divorced individuals (p values all <0.0001). Patients with lesions in bones of skull and face and associated joints had longer survival as compared with those with bone lesions in other sites (median overall survival: 107 months vs. 79 months, p = 0.0694). The use of surgery was significantly associated with improved survival (median survival: surgery performed 98 months vs. not performed 73 months, hazards ratio [HR]: 0.7623, 95% CI: 0.7009-0.8472; p < 0.0001) and myeloma-specific survival (median myeloma-specific survival: surgery 160.0 months vs. no surgery 143.0 months, HR: 0.8469, 95% CI: 0.7493-0.9572; p = 0.0078). Multivariable analysis revealed that surgery, marital status, and age were independent prognostic factors for overall survival in patients with SPB. The improvement in the survival of patients with SPB has been observed in recent years. And several potential prognostic factors were identified. Future prospective studies are warranted to explore the roles of novel agents, surgery, and systemic chemotherapy in the treatment of SPB.

Project description:BackgroundRadiomics is an emerging field in oncological research. In this study, we aimed at developing a radiomics score (rad-score) to estimate postoperative recurrence and survival in patients with solitary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).MethodsA total of 319 solitary HCC patients (training cohort: n = 212; validation cohort: n = 107) were enrolled. Radiomics features were extracted from the artery phase of preoperatively acquired computed tomography (CT) in all patients. A rad-score was generated by using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (lasso) logistic model. Kaplan-Meier and Cox's hazard regression analyses were used to evaluate the prognostic significance of the rad-score. Final nomograms predicting recurrence and survival of solitary HCC patients were established based on the rad-score and clinicopathological factors. C-index and calibration statistics were used to assess the performance of nomograms.ResultsSix potential radiomics features were selected out of 110 texture features to formulate the rad-score. Low rad-score positively correlated with aggressive tumor phenotypes, like larger tumor size and vascular invasion. Meanwhile, low rad-score was significantly associated with increased recurrence and reduced survival. In addition, multivariate analysis identified the rad-score as an independent prognostic factor (recurrence: Hazard ratio (HR): 2.472, 95% confident interval (CI): 1.339-4.564, p = 0.004;survival: HR: 1.558, 95%CI: 1.022-2.375, p = 0.039). Notably, the nomogram integrating rad-score had a better prognostic performance as compared with traditional staging systems. These results were further confirmed in the validation cohort.ConclusionsThe preoperative CT image based rad-score was an independent prognostic factor for the postoperative outcome of solitary HCC patients. This score may be complementary to the current staging system and help to stratify individualized treatments for solitary HCC patients.

Project description:BackgroundCombined hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma (CHC) is an uncommon subtype of primary liver cancer. Because of limited epidemiological data, prognostic risk factors and therapeutic strategies for patients with CHC tend to be individualized. This study aimed to identify independent prognostic factors and develop a nomogram-based model for predicting the overall survival (OS) of patients with CHC.MethodsWe recruited eligible individuals from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database between 2004 and 2015 and randomly divided them into the training or verification cohort. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify independent variables associated with OS. Based on multivariate analysis, the nomogram was established, and its prediction performance was evaluated using the consistency index (C-index) and calibration curve.ResultsIn total, 271 patients with CHC were included in our study. The median OS was 14 months, and the 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS rates were 52.3%, 27.1%, and 23.3%, respectively. In the training cohort, multivariate analysis showed that the pathological grade (hazard ratio [HR], 1.26; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.96-1.66), TNM stage (HR, 1.21; 95% CI: 1.02 - 1.44), and surgery (HR, 0.26; 95% CI: 0.17 - 0.40) were independent indicators of OS. The nomogram-based model related C-indexes were 0.76 (95% CI: 0.72 - 0.81) and 0.72 (95% CI: 0.66 - 0.79) in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. The calibration of the nomogram showed good consistency of 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS rates between the actual observed survival and predicted survival in both cohorts. The TNM stage (HR, 1.23; 95% CI: 1.01 - 1.49), and M stage (HR, 1.87; 95% CI: 1.14 3.05) were risk factors in the surgical treatment group. Surgical resection and liver transplantation could significantly prolong the survival, with no statistical difference observed.ConclusionsThe pathological grade, TNM stage, and surgery were independent prognostic factors for patients with CHC. We developed a nomogram model, in the form of a static nomogram or an online calculator, for predicting the OS of patients with CHC, with a good predictive performance.
