A nested case-control study to investigate drivers for metastatic disease in breast cancer

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to improve prediction of patients at high-risk for metastatic disease utilizing a nested case-control design that uniquely enables enrichment for relevant phenotypes. We identified all women diagnosed with primary breast cancer from January 1, 1997, to December 31, 2005, in the Stockholm health care region. Patients developing distant metastatic disease (cases) were selected and controls (free from distant disease) were randomly matched by adjuvant therapy, age and calendar period at diagnosis. The nested case-control study included 768 study subjects with clinical information and gene expression arrays (Human Cancer G110). Study subjects were randomly and equally divided into training set (discovery) or testing (validation) set. Metastatic onset prediction was then compared including either clinical variables only or combining clinical and genetic information. Differentially expressed genes and pathways between cases and controls included a wide-spectrum of well known as well as candidate regulators of the metastatic cascade.

Project description:Purpose: Clinicopathologic features and biochemical recurrence are sensitive, but not specific, predictors of metastatic disease and lethal prostate cancer. We hypothesize that a genomic expression signature detected in the primary tumor represents true biological potential of aggressive disease and provides improved prediction of early prostate cancer metastasis. Methods: A nested case-control design was used to select 639 patients from the Mayo Clinic tumor registry that underwent radical prostatectomy between 1987 and 2001. A genomic classifier (GC) was developed by modeling differential RNA expression using 1.4 million feature high-density expression arrays of men enriched for rising PSA after prostatectomy, including 213 that experienced early clinical metastasis after biochemical recurrence. A training set was used to develop a random forest classifier of 22 markers to predict for cases - men with early clinical metastasis after rising PSA. Performance of GC was compared to prognostic factors such as Gleason score and previous gene expression signatures in a withheld validation set. Results: Expression profiles were generated from 545 unique patient samples, with median follow-up of 16.9 years. GC achieved an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.75 (0.67 - 0.83) in validation, outperforming clinical variables and gene signatures. GC was the only significant prognostic factor in multivariable analyses. Within Gleason score groups, cases with high GC scores experienced earlier death from prostate cancer and reduced overall survival. The markers in the classifier were found to be associated with a number of key biological processes in prostate cancer metastatic disease progression. Conclusion: A genomic classifier was developed and validated in a large patient cohort enriched with prostate cancer metastasis patients and a rising PSA that went on to experience metastatic disease. This early metastasis prediction model based on genomic expression in the primary tumor may be useful for identification of aggressive prostate cancer. 545 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples from primary prostate cancer obtained from Radical Prostatectomy.
