The Glasgow Microenvironment Score associates with prognosis and adjuvant chemotherapy response in colorectal cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Glasgow Microenvironment Score (GMS) combines peritumoural inflammation and tumour stroma percentage to assess interactions between tumour and microenvironment. This was previously demonstrated to associate with colorectal cancer (CRC) prognosis, and now requires validation and assessment of interactions with adjuvant therapy.

Methods

Two cohorts were utilised; 862 TNM I-III CRC validation cohort, and 2912 TNM II-III CRC adjuvant chemotherapy cohort (TransSCOT). Primary endpoints were disease-free survival (DFS) and relapse-free survival (RFS). Exploratory endpoint was adjuvant chemotherapy interaction.

Results

GMS independently associated with DFS (p = 0.001) and RFS (p < 0.001). GMS significantly stratified RFS for both low risk (GMS 0 v GMS 2: HR 3.24 95% CI 1.85-5.68, p < 0.001) and high-risk disease (GMS 0 v GMS 2: HR 2.18 95% CI 1.39-3.41, p = 0.001). In TransSCOT, chemotherapy type (p_interaction = 0.013), but not duration (p = 0.64) was dependent on GMS. Furthermore, GMS 0 significantly associated with improved DFS in patients receiving FOLFOX compared with CAPOX (HR 2.23 95% CI 1.19-4.16, p = 0.012).

Conclusions

This study validates the GMS as a prognostic tool for patients with stage I-III colorectal cancer, independent of TNM, with the ability to stratify both low- and high-risk disease. Furthermore, GMS 0 could be employed to identify a subset of patients that benefit from FOLFOX over CAPOX.

Tumor Microenvironment Heterogeneity-Based Score System Predicts Clinical Prognosis and Response to Immune Checkpoint Blockade in Multiple Colorectal Cancer Cohorts.

Project description:Despite immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy contributed to significant advances in cancer therapy, only a small percentage of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) respond to it. Identification of these patients will facilitate ICB application in CRC. In this study, we integrated multiple CRC cohorts (2,078 samples) to construct tumor microenvironment (TME) subtypes using TME indices calculated by CIBERSORT and ESTIMATE algorithms. Furthermore, a surrogate quantitative indicator, a tumor microenvironment immune gene (TMEIG) score system, was established using the key immune genes between TME clusters 1 and 2. The subsequent analysis demonstrated that TME subtypes and the TMEIG score system correlated with clinical outcomes of patients in multiple CRC cohorts and exhibited distinct immune statuses. Furthermore, Tumor Immune Dysfunction and Exclusion (TIDE) analysis indicated that patients with low TMEIG scores were more likely to benefit from ICB therapy. A study on two ICB cohorts (GSE78220 and IMvigor210) also validated that patients with low TMEIG scores exhibited higher ICB response rates and better prognoses after ICB treatment. The biomarker evaluation module on the TIDE website revealed that the TMEIG score was a robust predictive biomarker. Moreover, differential expression analysis, immunohistochemistry, qPCR experiments, and gene set prioritization module on the TIDE website demonstrated that the five genes that constitute the TMEIG score system (SERPINE1, FABP4, SCG2, CALB2, and HOXC6) were closely associated with tumorigenesis, immune cells, and ICB response indices. Finally, TMEIG scores could accurately predict the prognosis and ICB response of patients with CRC. SERPINE1, FABP4, SCG2, CALB2, and HOXC6 might be potential targets related to ICB treatment. Furthermore, our study provided new insights into precision ICB therapy in CRC.

Adjuvant Chemotherapy in Elderly Colorectal Cancer Patients.

Project description:The value of adjuvant chemotherapy in elderly patients has been the subject of many overviews, with opinions varying from "not effective", since randomized trials have not been performed, to "as effective as in young individuals", based upon many retrospective analyses of randomized trials that have included patients of all ages. In the absence of randomized trials performed specifically with elderly patients, retrospective analyses demonstrate that the influence on the time to tumour recurrence (TTR) may be the same as in young individuals, but that endpoints that include death for any reason, such as recurrence-free survival (RFS), disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS), are poorer in the elderly. This is particularly true if oxaliplatin has been part of the treatment. The need for adjuvant chemotherapy after colorectal cancer surgery in elderly patients is basically the same as that in younger patients. The reduction in recurrence risks may be similar, provided the chosen treatment is tolerated but survival gains are less. Adding oxaliplatin to a fluoropyrimidine is probably not beneficial in individuals above a biological age of approximately 70 years. If an oxaliplatin combination is administered to elderly patients, three months of therapy is in all probability the most realistic goal.

The impact of the Glasgow Prognostic Score on survival in second-line chemotherapy for metastatic colorectal cancer patients with BRAF V600E mutation.

Project description:Background:BRAF (v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1) V600E mutant colorectal cancer is associated with short survival. Recently, clinical trials have been conducted to improve outcomes of second or later lines of chemotherapy. However, there is a paucity of reference data pertaining to outcomes of second-line chemotherapy and prognostic factors that are relevant only to BRAF mutant patients. Patients and methods:We retrospectively reviewed metastatic colorectal cancer patients with BRAF V600E mutation who underwent second-line chemotherapy between January 2007 and March 2017. We evaluated treatment outcomes and performed prognostic analyses. Results:A total of 52 patients were included. The median progression-free survival and overall survival (OS) were 2.5 [95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.91-4.11] and 6.5 (95% CI = 4.30-9.63) months, respectively. Overall response and disease control rates were 7% and 48%, respectively. All the regimens which elicited a partial response included BRAF inhibitors in combination with anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antibodies. Therefore, the overall response was 0% after exclusion of patients treated with study drugs. Multivariate analysis for OS revealed that the Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS), elevated lactate dehydrogenase, and poor performance status were independent prognostic factors. In particular, survival curves according to the GPS stratified the patients into distinct risk groups. The median OSs in patients with GPS of 0, 1, and 2 were 9.9, 5.0, and 1.9?months, respectively. Conclusions:Outcomes of second-line chemotherapy for metastatic colorectal cancer patients with BRAF V600E mutation were extremely poor. GPS may be useful in future clinical trials.

Validation of the conventional Glasgow Prognostic Score and development of the improved Glasgow Prognostic Score in patients with stage 0-III colorectal cancer after curative resection.

Project description:AimMany inflammation-nutrition scores, including the Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS), have been reported as prognostic biomarkers in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). We aimed to examine the predictive ability of the GPS and to improve the GPS.MethodsWe included a total of 438 patients with stage 0-III CRC who underwent curative surgery from 2010 to 2013. They were divided into a training set comprising 221 patients and a validation set comprising 227 patients, according to the date of surgery. In the training set, the GPS was verified using a Cox regression model, and cut-off values for C-reactive protein (CRP) and albumin for relapse-free survival (RFS) were calculated using receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves. The improved GPS (iGPS) was developed with additional optimal cut-off values. We also compared the iGPS with the conventional GPS in the validation set.ResultsThe high GPS (GPS: 1-2) was correlated with RFS and overall survival (OS) in the training set. Cut-off values of CRP and albumin for RFS were 1.6 and 3.9, and we modified the GPS accordingly, adding the cut-off values of 2 and 3.9 to CRP and albumin, respectively. In the validation set, a high iGPS was an independent prognostic factor for RFS (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.273; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.212-4.364; P = .011), although the conventional GPS was not.ConclusionThe iGPS was a more accurate prognostic predictor for patients with stage 0-III CRC.

Relationship between IHC4 score and response to neo-adjuvant chemotherapy in estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer.

Project description:AimsTo determine whether IHC4 score assessed on pre-treatment core biopsies (i) predicts response to neo-adjuvant chemotherapy in ER-positive (ER+) breast cancer; (ii) provides more predictive information than Ki67 alone.Methods113 patients with ER+ primary breast cancer treated with neo-adjuvant chemotherapy at the Royal Marsden Hospital between 2002 and 2010 were included in the study. Pathologic assessment of the excision specimen was made for residual disease. IHC4 was determined on pre-treatment core biopsies, blinded to clinical outcome, by immunohistochemistry using quantitative scoring of ER (H-score), PgR (%) and Ki67 (%). Determination of HER2 status was made by immunohistochemistry and fluorescent in situ hybridization for 2+ cases. IHC4 and Ki67 scores were tested for their association with pathological complete response (pCR) rate and residual cancer burden (RCB) score.Results18 (16%) of the 113 patients and 8 (9%) of the 88 HER2-ve cases achieved pCR. Ki67 and IHC4 score were both positively associated with achievement of pCR (P < 10-7 and P < 10-9, respectively) and RCB0+1 (P < 10-5 and P < 10-9, respectively) following neo-adjuvant chemotherapy in all patients. Rates of pCR+RCB1 were 45 and 66% in the highest quartiles of Ki67 and IHC4 scores, respectively. In ER+HER2-ve cases, pCR+RCB1 rates were 35% and in the highest quartile of both Ki67 and IHC4. There were no pCRs in the lower half of IHC4 or Ki67 scores.ConclusionsIHC4 was strongly predictive of pCR or near pCR in ER+ breast cancers following neo-adjuvant chemotherapy. Ki67 was an important component of this predictive ability, but was not as predictive as IHC4.

Precision medicine for adjuvant chemotherapy of resected colorectal cancer

Project description:Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death in Japan. Surgical resection is the only curative option for localized disease. However, undetectable micrometastases remaining after curative surgery may cause disease recurrence. Adjuvant chemotherapy aims to eradicate these micrometastases to improve the cure rate. Unfortunately, few reliable prognostic and predictive markers are available that identify patients at high risk for CRC during early?stage disease. However, promising biomarkers may become available in the near future. Such biomarkers provide information for stratifying a patient's risk and for selecting the optimal treatment. Here, we provide an overview of current relevant prognostic and predictive biomarkers applicable to adjuvant treatment of early?stage CRC and focus on the future of this field. During the last decade, numerous efforts have been made to develop precision medicine for patients with early colorectal cancer. We summarize prognostic and predictive biomarkers for adjuvant treatment of early colorectal cancer.

Evaluation of Adjuvant Chemotherapy-Associated Steatosis (CAS) in Colorectal Cancer.

Project description:Chemotherapy-associated steatosis is poorly understood in the context of colorectal cancer. In this study, Stage II-III colorectal cancer patients were retrospectively selected to evaluate the frequency of chemotherapy-associated steatosis and to determine whether patients on statins throughout adjuvant chemotherapy develop chemotherapy-associated steatosis at a lower frequency. Baseline and incident steatosis for up to one year from chemotherapy start date was assessed based on radiology. Of 269 patients, 76 (28.3%) had steatosis at baseline. Of the remaining 193 cases, patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy (n = 135) had 1.57 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.89 to 2.79) times the adjusted risk of developing steatosis compared to patients not receiving chemotherapy (n = 58). Among patients who underwent chemotherapy, those using statins for pre-existing hyperlipidemia (n = 37) had 0.71 (95% CI, 0.10 to 2.75) times the risk of developing steatosis compared to patients who were not prevalent users of statins (n = 98). Chemotherapeutic treatment of Stage II-III colorectal cancer appears to be consistent with a moderately increased risk of steatosis, although larger studies are necessary to assess the significance of this observation. Prospective trials should be considered to further explore the potential for protective use of statins in this curative patient population.

Transcriptional subtyping and CD8 immunohistochemistry identifies poor prognosis stage II/III colorectal cancer patients who benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy.

Project description:PurposeTranscriptomic profiling of colorectal cancer (CRC) has led to identification of four consensus molecular subtypes (CMS1-4), which have prognostic value in stage II/III disease. More recently, the Colorectal Cancer Intrinsic Subtypes (CRIS) classification system has helped to define the biology specific to the epithelial component of colorectal tumors. However, the clinical value of these classifications in predicting response to standard-of-care adjuvant chemotherapy remains unknown.Patients and methodsUsing samples from 4 European sites, we assembled a novel stage II/III CRC patient cohort and performed transcriptomic profiling on 156 samples, targeted sequencing and generated a tissue microarray to enable integrated "multi-omics" analyses. We also accessed data from 2 published stage II/III CRC patient cohorts: GSE39582 and GSE14333 (479 and 185 samples respectively).ResultsThe epithelial-rich CMS2 subtype of CRC benefitted significantly from adjuvant chemotherapy treatment in both stage II and III disease (p=0.02 and p<0.0001 respectively), while the CMS3 subtype significantly benefitted in stage III only (p=0.00073). Following CRIS sub-stratification of CMS2, we observed that only the CRIS-C subtype significantly benefitted from adjuvant chemotherapy in stage II and III disease (p=0.0081 and p<0.0001 respectively), while CRIS-D significantly benefitted in stage III only (p=0.0034). We also observed that CRIS-C patients with low levels of CD8+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes were most at risk of relapse in both stage II and III disease (p=0.0031).ConclusionPatient stratification using a combination of transcriptional subtyping and CD8 immunohistochemistry analyses is capable of identifying poor prognostic stage II/III patients who benefit from adjuvant standard-of-care chemotherapy. These findings are particularly relevant for stage II disease, where the overall benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy is marginal.

Adjuvant chemotherapy improves prognosis of resectable stage IV colorectal cancer: a comparative study using inverse probability of treatment weighting.

Project description:BackgroundAdjuvant chemotherapy (AC) is known to be beneficial for stage III colorectal cancer (CRC). In contrast, only a few studies have reported the survival benefits of AC for stage IV CRC after curative surgery.MethodsWe identified 155 CRC patients with various organ metastases who underwent curative surgery in our hospital between 2003 and 2017. Clinicopathological parameters and postoperative AC were reviewed. Multivariate analyses were performed to identify prognostic factors. Moreover, the effects of AC on recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed using inverse probability of treatment weighting.ResultsThe cohort comprised 94 males and 61 females, with a mean age of 63 years. AC was administered to 57% of patients who underwent surgery between 2003 and 2010 and 76% between 2011 and 2017 (p = 0.015). AC was more likely administered to patients with a good performance status, high preoperative albumin level, regional node and peritoneal metastases, and no intraoperative blood transfusion. Multivariate analyses identified AC as a significant prognostic factors for RFS and OS [hazard ratio (HR): 1.86, p = 0.003, and 2.66, p = 0.002, respectively]. After adjusting for different backgrounds, 5-year RFS and OS rates were higher in patients receiving AC (27% and 67%) than in those without AC (14% and 46%, p < 0.0001 and p = 0.0005). Subgroup analyses showed that AC significantly improved RFS in node-negative patients (HR: 2.16, p = 0.029), and RFS and OS in node-positive patients (HR: 2.03, p < 0.0001, and 2.02, p = 0.001, respectively).ConclusionAC can be discussed with resectable stage IV CRC patients because of its significant survival-improving effects.
