Comparison of the Prognostic Value of Platelet-Related Indices in Biliary Tract Cancer Undergoing Surgical Resection.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Platelet-related indices, including mean platelet volume (MPV) and plateletocrit (PCT), have been reported as new prognostic factors of overall survival (OS) in many cancers, but not yet in biliary tract cancer (BTC). We intended to assess these indices in predicting OS in BTC patients with the aim to build a new prognostic model for patients with BTC after surgical resection.

Materials and methods

Survival analysis and time receiver operating characteristic analysis were applied to screen the platelet indices. Univariate and multivariate Cox analyses were used to identify independent prognostic factors and develop a new prognostic model. Harrell's C-statistics, calibration curves, and decisive curve analysis were used to assess the model.

Results

MPV and platelet distribution width (PDW)/PCT showed the best prognostic accuracy among the platelet indices. In multivariable analysis, factors predictive of poor OS were presence of nodal involvement, Non-radical surgery, poor tumor differentiation, carbohydrate antigen 19-9 > 100 U/mL, MPV > 8.1 fl, and PDW/PCT > 190. The new model was found to be superior to the TNM staging system and our new staging system showed higher discriminative power.

Conclusion

MPV and PDW/PCT have high prognostic value in BTC patients, and the novel staging system based on these two indices showed good discrimination and accuracy compared with the American Joint Committee on Cancer 7th TNM staging system.

Role of Inflammatory and Immune-Nutritional Prognostic Markers in Patients Undergoing Surgical Resection for Biliary Tract Cancers.

Project description:The relationship between immune-nutritional status and tumor growth; biological aggressiveness and survival, is still debated. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the prognostic performance of different inflammatory and immune-nutritional markers in patients who underwent surgery for biliary tract cancer (BTC). The prognostic role of the following inflammatory and immune-nutritional markers were investigated: Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS), modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS), Prognostic Index (PI), Neutrophil to Lymphocyte ratio (NLR), Platelet to Lymphocyte ratio (PLR), Lymphocyte to Monocyte ratio (LMR), Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI). A total of 282 patients undergoing surgery for BTC were included. According to Cox regression and ROC curves analysis for survival, LMR had the best prognostic performances, with hazard ratio (HR) of 1.656 (p = 0.005) and AUC of 0.652. Multivariable survival analysis identified the following independent prognostic factors: type of BTC (p = 0.002), T stage (p = 0.014), N stage (p < 0.001), histological grading (p = 0.045), and LMR (p = 0.025). Conversely, PNI was related to higher risk of severe morbidity (p < 0.001) and postoperative mortality (p = 0.005). In conclusion, LMR appears an independent prognostic factor of long-term survival, whilst PNI seems associated with worse short-term outcomes.

Prognostic value of an immunohistochemical signature in patients with pulmonary squamous cell carcinoma undergoing complete surgical resection.

Project description:BackgroundThe Tumor Node Metastasis (TNM) stage cannot accurately predict the prognosis of patients in pulmonary squamous cell carcinoma (SQCC). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prognostic value of immunohistochemical (IHC)-based classifiers in patients with pulmonary SQCC who underwent complete surgery resection.MethodsFrom January 2010 to December 2014, a total of 556 patients with SQCC who underwent complete radical resection were included. The patients were grouped into a discovery group (n=334) and a validation group (n=222). Using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression model, we extracted IHCs that were associated with progression-free survival (PFS) and then built classifiers. Clinicopathological variables and the IHC-based classifiers were analyzed using univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses. A nomogram to predict PFS was constructed and validated using bootstrap resampling.ResultsFollowing the LASSO regression model, 4 IHC markers associated with PFS were identified. We used the IHC-based classifiers to stratify patients in both groups into high- and low-risk groups. PFS was better in the low-risk group than in the high-risk group in both the discovery and validation groups. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that the IHC-based classifiers were independently prognostic in predicting the PFS of patients with SQCC. The performance of the nomogram was evaluated and proven to be clinically useful.ConclusionsBy combining IHC-based classification and clinicopathology, we were able to have better insight into the prognostic assessment of patients with SQCC after surgery, which can inform postoperative patient management.

Comparison of the prognostic value of longitudinal measurements of systemic inflammation in patients undergoing curative resection of colorectal cancer.

Project description:BACKGROUND: The systemic inflammation-based prognostic scores, modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS) and the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) are now recognised to be useful in predicting survival in a variety of solid organ malignancies, including colorectal cancer (CRC) before treatment. However, there would appear to have been no direct comparison of these longitudinal measurements of systemic inflammation. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to compare the prognostic value of longitudinal measures of systemic inflammation, the mGPS and NLR in patients undergoing potentially curative resection for CRC. METHODS: Three hundred and twenty-six patients underwent potentially curative resection for CRC between 2006 and 2010. Full biochemical and haematological data both pre- and post-operatively (3-6 months) were available for 206 patients. RESULTS: In 206 patients, there was no significant overall change in either the mGPS or the NLR, from pre- to post-operatively. On univariate survival analysis, T-stage (P<0.001), tumour, node, metastasis stage (P<0.005), pre-operative mGPS (P<0.05), pre-operative NLR (<0.05), post-operative mGPS (P<0.001) and post-operative NLR (P<0.005) were associated with cancer-specific survival. On multivariate survival analysis, comparing pre-operative mGPS and NLR, both pre-operative mGPS and NLR were independently associated with reduced cancer-specific survival (mGPS hazard ratio (HR) 1.97, CI 1.16-3.34, P<0.05, and NLR HR 3.07, CI 1.23-7.63, P<0.05). When the same multivariate comparison was carried out on post-operative data, only the post-operative mGPS was independently associated with cancer-specific survival (HR 4.81, CI 2.13-10.83, P<0.001). CONCLUSION: The results of the present study support the longitudinal assessment of the systemic inflammatory response, in particular the mGPS, in patients undergoing potentially curative resection for CRC.

Prognostic value of sarcopenia in patients with colorectal liver metastases undergoing hepatic resection.

Project description:The prognostic significance of sarcopenia has been widely studied in different cancer patients. This study aimed to analyze the influence of sarcopenia on long-term survival in patients with colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) undergoing hepatic resection. A retrospective analysis of 182 patients undergoing hepatic resection for CRLM was performed. Sarcopenia was determinedusing the Hounsfield unit average calculation (HUAC), a measure of muscle quality-muscledensity at preoperative abdominal computed tomography scans. Sarcopenia was defined as an HUAC score of less than 22 HU calculated using receiver operating characteristic analysis. The prognostic relevance of clinical variables and overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) was evaluated. Patients with sarcopenia were older (p?<?0.001) and had higher prevalence of diabetics (p?=?0.004), higher body mass index (BMI) (p?<?0.001) and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (p?=?0.026) compared to those without. Sarcopenia was not significantly associated with OS and RFS. Multivariate Cox's regression analysis showed that multinodularity (>3) (hazard ratio (HR) 2.736; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.631-4.589; p?<?0.001), high CEA level (?20?ng/ml) (HR 1.793; 95% CI, 1.092-2.945; p?=?0.021) and blood loss (?300 cc) (HR1.793; 95% CI, 1.084-2.964; p?=?0.023) were independent factors associated with OS. In subgroup analyses, sarcopenia was a significant factor of poor OS in the patients with multinodularity by univariate (p?=?0.002) and multivariate analyses(HR 3.571; 95% CI, 1.508-8.403; p?=?0.004). Multinodularity (>3) (HR 1.750; 95% CI, 1.066-2.872; p?=?0.027), high aspartate aminotransferase level (HR 1.024; 95% CI, 1.003-1.046; p?=?0.025) and male gender (HR 1.688; 95% CI, 1.036-2.748; p?=?0.035) were independent factors of RFS. In conclusion, despite no significance in whole cohort, sarcopenia was predictive of worse OS in patients with multiple CRLM after partial hepatectomy.

Prognostic value of circulating tumour DNA in patients undergoing curative resection for pancreatic cancer.

Project description:BackgroundPancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is frequently diagnosed at an advanced stage, leading to a poor prognosis. Therefore, interest in the development of non-invasive biomarkers for prognostic prediction has grown rapidly. Here, we assessed the clinical implications of v-Ki-ras2 kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS)-mutated circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) as a useful surrogate biomarker in patients with resectable PDAC.MethodsWe used droplet digital polymerase chain reaction to detect rare mutant tumour-derived KRAS genes in plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) as ctDNA. Samples were collected from 105 patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy for PDAC at a single institution. Overall survival (OS) was analysed according to the presence of ctDNA.ResultsAmong the 105 cases, ctDNA was detected in 33 (31%) plasma samples. The median OS durations were 13.6 months for patients with ctDNA (ctDNA+) and 27.6 months for patients without ctDNA. Patients who were ctDNA+ had a significantly poorer prognosis with respect to OS (P<0.0001).ConclusionsOur findings suggested that the presence of ctDNA in plasma samples could be an important and powerful predictor of poor survival in patients with PDAC. Accordingly, ctDNA detection might be a promising approach with respect to PDAC treatment.

Prognostic Value of Serum Osteoprotegerin Level in Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma Following Surgical Resection.

Project description:BackgroundMultiple studies have reported that tissue or serum osteoprotegerin (OPG) level is a prognostic factor for patients with cancer. However, little is known about the role of serum OPG in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this study, we aimed to investigate whether serum OPG concentration has an effect on HCC patients' prognosis.MethodsA total of 386 eligible HCC patients undergoing radical hepatectomy were enrolled from Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital and Zhongshan Hospital between 2010 and 2018. Kaplan-Meier curves, Cox regression model, and the restricted mean survival time (RMST) were used to estimate the association of OPG and HCC patients' survival outcome. In addition, sensitivity analyses were carried out including subgroup analysis and propensity score matching (PSM).ResultsPatients were separated into two groups according to the cut-off value of OPG calculated by X-tile. Multivariate Cox analysis showed that patients with high OPG level had worse overall survival (OS) (HR: 1.93; 95% CI: 1.40-2.66, p<0.001) and disease-free survival (DFS) (HR: 1.85; 95% CI: 1.39-2.47, p<0.001) before matching. On average, RMST ratio between high and low OPG turned out to be 0.797 (95% CI: 0.716-0.887, p<0.001). In the matched population, we found that OPG level was negatively associated with OS (HR: 1.85; 95% CI: 1.25-2.74, p=0.002) and DFS (HR: 1.71; 95% CI: 1.20-2.44, p=0.003). In addition, a similar trend was further confirmed by subgroup analyses.ConclusionIn a word, HCC patients with high OPG level had poorer survival rates compared with HCC patients with low OPG level. This factor could act as a potential prognostic predictor for HCC patients who underwent radical resection in the future.

Biliary tract cancer prognostic and predictive genomics.

Project description:Biliary tract cancer (BTC) is comprised of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (EHC) and gallbladder cancer (GBC). These tumors arise in the biliary epithelium, share histological characteristics and are associated with grim prognosis even when diagnosed at early stages. Moreover, its relatively low incidence in developed countries has precluded the development of clinical trials addressing specific differences among BTC subgroups in terms of their biology, treatment response and clinical outcomes. In this scenario, the development of effective treatment strategies for patients has been rather modest. To date, the combination of cisplatin plus gemcitabine remains as the standard first line therapy in advanced disease and after progression to this regimen there are limited treatment options. Next generation sequencing (NGS) studies have assessed the distribution of driver genes and potentially actionable genomic alterations among ICC, EHC and GBC. Here, we outline genomic differences among these subsets and describe key milestones in order to develop novel targeted drugs against BTCs. Although the early results of several studies are promising, international collaboration is critical to conduct adequately-powered trials, enrolling patients from high-incidence countries.

Prognostic Value of Circulating Tumor Cells Identified Before Surgical Resection in Nonmetastatic Breast Cancer Patients.

Project description:Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) can be identified in approximately 25% of nonmetastatic breast cancer patients, and data are emerging regarding their prognostic significance. We hypothesized that CTCs identified before resection of the primary tumor would predict worse outcomes in nonmetastatic breast cancer patients.We performed CTC enumerations on 509 patients with nonmetastatic breast cancer as part of an IRB-approved study. The CTCs (per 7.5 mL blood) were identified using the CellSearch System (Janssen). The presence of ?1 CTC meeting morphologic criteria for malignancy was considered a positive result. Log-rank test and Cox regression analysis were applied to establish the association of CTCs with relapse-free and overall survival.Median follow-up was 48 months and mean age was 53 years. Fifty-nine percent of patients (299 of 509) had tumors larger than 2 cm, and 46% (234 of 509) had positive lymph nodes. One hundred sixty-six patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) before CTC assessment, and 343 patients were chemonaïve. One or more CTC was identified in 43 of 166 (26%) NACT treated patients, and in 81 of 343 (24%) chemonaïve patients. Circulating tumor cells were not associated with tumor size, grade, or lymph node status (p = NS). Detection of 1 or more CTCs predicted decreased relapse-free (log-rank p < 0.001, hazard ratio [HR] 2.72, 95% CI 1.57 to 4.72; p < 0.001) and overall survival (log-rank p = 0.02, HR 2.29, 95% CI 1.12 to 4.67; p = 0.03) at 48 months of follow-up.One or more CTCs identified before resection of the primary breast tumor predicted worse relapse-free and overall survival, irrespective of primary tumor size, grade, or lymph node positivity.

Identification and Validation of Circulating Micrornas as Prognostic Biomarkers in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Patients Undergoing Surgical Resection.

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most lethal and aggressive cancers with a less than 6% five-year survival rate. Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) are emerging as a useful tool for non-invasive diagnosis and prognosis estimation in the various cancer types, including PDAC. Our study aimed to evaluate whether miRNAs in the pre-operative blood plasma specimen have the potential to predict the prognosis of PDAC patients. In total, 112 PDAC patients planned for surgical resection were enrolled in our prospective study. To identify prognostic miRNAs, we used small RNA sequencing in 24 plasma samples of PDAC patients with poor prognosis (overall survival (OS) < 16 months) and 24 plasma samples of PDAC patients with a good prognosis (OS > 20 months). qPCR validation of selected miRNA candidates was performed in the independent cohort of PDAC patients (n = 64). In the discovery phase of the study, we identified 44 miRNAs with significantly different levels in the plasma samples of the group of good and poor prognosis patients. Among these miRNAs, 23 showed lower levels, and 21 showed higher levels in plasma specimens from PDAC patients with poor prognosis. Eleven miRNAs were selected for the validation, but only miR-99a-5p and miR-365a-3p were confirmed to have significantly lower levels and miR-200c-3p higher levels in plasma samples of poor prognosis cases. Using the combination of these 3-miRNA levels, we were able to identify the patients with poor prognosis with sensitivity 85% and specificity 80% (Area Under the Curve = 0.890). Overall, 3-miRNA prognostic score associated with OS was identified in the pre-operative blood plasma samples of PDAC patients undergoing surgical resection. Following further independent validations, the detection of these miRNA may enable identification of PDAC patients who have no survival benefit from the surgical treatment, which is associated with the high morbidity rates.
