Background
The objective of the study was to evaluate the outcomes of clinically localized prostate cancer treated with prostatectomy versus radiation therapy within the context of a prospective prostate cancer screening study.Patients and Methods
Within the PLCO (Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovary) trial, patients who were diagnosed with clinically localized prostate cancer and subsequently received treatment with prostatectomy or radiation therapy (with or without hormonal treatment) were included. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were then performed to determine factors affecting overall and prostate cancer-specific survival. Factors with P < .05 in univariate analysis were included in the multivariate analysis.Results
A total of 3953 patients were included in the current analysis. These included 2044 patients treated with prostatectomy and 1909 patients treated with radiation therapy with or without hormonal treatment. In an adjusted multivariate analysis for factors affecting overall survival, prostatectomy was associated with better overall survival compared with radiation therapy (hazard ratio, 0.548; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.440- 681; P < .001). Likewise, in an adjusted multivariate analysis for factors affecting prostate cancer-specific survival, prostatectomy was associated with better prostate cancer-specific survival compared with radiation therapy (hazard ratio, 0.485; 95% CI, 0.286- 0.822; P = .007). Similar findings were found with propensity score matching and repeating the same analyses on the post-matching cohort.Conclusion
Prostatectomy seems to predict better overall and prostate cancer-specific survival compared with radiation therapy among patients with clinically localized prostate cancer diagnosed within the PLCO trial. 相似文献2.

Background
There are no previous reports directly evaluating immunologic conditions in tumor microenvironment including both bladder cancer (BCa) and upper urinary tract carcinoma (UTUC). In this study, we aimed to clarify the difference of immunity status and its clinical significance depending on the tumor site in urothelial carcinoma.Patients and Methods
Tumor tissue–infiltrating lymphocytes were extracted from 70 urothelial cancer patients who underwent surgical resection (52 cases of BCa and 18 cases of UTUC). The immunologic classification was established by unsupervised clustering analysis according to the expression ratio of 9 extracellular surface markers measured by flow cytometry, and we examined the relationship between immunologic classification and clinical importance such as pathologic status and prognosis (progression-free survival and cancer-specific survival).Results
The immunologic condition was classified into 2 groups. Group 1 (n = 41) comprised the CD4 T-cell–dominant group and group 2 (n = 29) the immunologically activated group. This immunologic classification was significantly correlated with tumor grade (P = .020) but not tumor location in multivariate analysis. In invasive BCa patients (n = 33), progression-free survival and cancer-specific survival of group 2 were significantly worse than those of group 1 (P = .021 and P = .022, respectively), while there was no significant difference between groups 1 and 2 in patients with invasive UTUC (n = 17).Conclusion
Although there was no difference in the local immunologic condition of urothelial carcinoma between BCa and UTUC, its significance as a prognostic predictor might vary depending on tumor site. 相似文献3.

Background
Radical cystectomy (RC) may occasionally be performed in individuals with metastatic urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (mUCB). However, the role of lymph node dissection (LND) for such cases is unknown. Thus, we tested the effect of RC on cancer-specific mortality (CSM) and overall mortality in mUCB patients and the effect of LND and its extent on CSM.Patients and Methods
Within the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database (2004-2013), we identified patients with mUCB who underwent RC with or without LND or non-RC management. Kaplan-Meier analyses and multivariable Cox regression models (CRMs) were used, after propensity score matching. The number of removed nodes best predicting CSM was identified using cubic splines and then was tested in multivariable CRMs.Results
Of 2314 patients, 319 (13.8%) underwent RC. After 2:1 propensity score matching, CSM-free survival was 14 versus 8 months (P < .001), and overall mortality–free survival was 12 versus 7 months (P < .001) for, respectively, RC and non-RC patients. In multivariable CRMs, lower CSM (hazard ratio = 0.48; P < .001) and lower overall mortality (hazard ratio = 0.49; P < .001) rates were recorded in RC patients. LND status did not affect CSM-free survival (13 vs. 10 months; P = .1). Cubic splines-derived cutoff of ≥ 13 number of removed nodes showed better CSM-free survival (20 vs. 11 months; P = .02) and reduced CSM in CRMs (hazard ratio = 0.67; P = .02).Conclusion
Our study validates the survival benefit of RC in mUCB and highlights the importance of more extensive LND. These findings may corroborate the hypothesis of potential cytoreductive effect of surgery in the context of metastatic disease. 相似文献4.

Background
The prognostic value of tumor sidedness in metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) has been established, but its impact on nonmetastatic disease remains unclear. Our study aimed to explore the prognostic effect of tumor sidedness by subgroup survival analyses, according to histology and tumor grade in stage I-IV CRCs.Methods
A retrospective population-based study was conducted based on Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) data. Population data in the SEER 9 registry (1975-2014) were used to determine survival trends of CRCs, and associated population data in the SEER 18 registry (2000 to 2014) were used to assess the prognostic impact of tumor sidedness on CRCs.Results
The 5-year cause-specific survival for all subgroups of CRCs improved from 1975 to 2014. Of 238,826 patients, 44.2% had right-sided cancer. Patients with right-sided cancer were more likely to be older, to be women, to have disease of mucinous or signet-ring cell histology, to have more poorly differentiated tumors, and to be diagnosed with a more advanced disease stage. Multivariate Cox regression showed stage I-II right-sided cancers had better cause-specific survival than the left-sided cancers (left colon: hazard ratio [HR] = 1.091, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.052-1.132; rectum: HR = 1.363; 95% CI, 1.304-1.425; P < .001), while stage III and IV right-sided cancers had worse cause-specific survival. In subgroup analyses by histology and tumor grade within stage III CRCs, right-sided poorly differentiated mucinous adenocarcinoma showed significantly better survival (left colon: HR = 1.352; 95% CI, 1.145-1.596; rectum: HR = 1.125; 95% CI, 0.916-1.381; P = .002).Conclusion
The relationship between sidedness and prognosis in CRCs depends on stage and histopathologic characteristics, especially for stage III disease. 相似文献5.

Introduction
The purpose of this study was to explore whether the practice of postoperative renal cell carcinoma (RCC) surveillance affords a survival benefit by investigating whether detection of RCC recurrences in an asymptomatic versus symptomatic manner influences mortality.Patients and Methods
We identified 737 patients who underwent partial or radical nephrectomy for M0 RCC between 1998 and 2016. Overall survival and disease-specific survival stratified by the type of recurrence detection (asymptomatic vs. symptomatic) was estimated using Kaplan-Meier probabilities both from the time of surgery and from the time of recurrence. Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to evaluate the impact of the type of recurrence detection on mortality.Results
A total of 78 patients (10.6%) experienced recurrence after surgery, of whom 63 (80.8%) were asymptomatic (detected using routine surveillance) and 15 (19.2%) were symptomatic. The median postoperative follow-up was 47.2 months (interquartile range, 26.3-89.4 months). Five- and 10-year overall survival, from time of surgery, among patients with asymptomatic versus symptomatic recurrences was 57% and 39% versus 24% and 8%, respectively (P = .0002). As compared with asymptomatic recurrences, patients with symptomatic recurrences had an increased risk of overall (OD) and disease-specific death (DSD) both when examined from the time of surgery (OD: hazard ratio [HR], 3.16; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.33-7.49; P = .0091 and DSD: HR, 3.44; 95% CI, 1.38-8.57; P = .0079) and from the time of recurrence (OD: HR, 2.93; 95% CI, 1.24-6.93; P = .0143 and DSD: HR, 3.62; 95% CI, 1.45-9.01; P = .0058).Conclusions
Capturing RCC recurrences in an asymptomatic manner during routine surveillance is associated with improved patient survival. 相似文献6.

Purpose
Emergent palliative radiation therapy (PRT) of symptomatic metastases can significantly increase the quality of life of patients with cancer. In some contexts, this treatment may be underused, but in others PRT may represent an excessively aggressive intervention. The characterization of the current use of emergent PRT is warranted for optimized value and patient-centered care.Methods and Materials
This study is a cross-sectional retrospective analysis of all emergent PRT courses at a single academic tertiary institution across 1 year.Results
A total of 214 patients received a total of 238 treatment courses. The most common indications were bone (39%) and brain (14%) metastases. Compared with outpatients, inpatients had lower mean survival rates (2 months vs 6 months; P < .001), higher rates of stopping treatment early (19.1% vs 9.0%; P = .034), and greater involvement of palliative care (44.8% vs 24.1%; P < .001), but the same mean planned fractions (9.10 vs 9.40 fractions; P = .669). In a multiple predictor survival analysis, palliative care involvement (P = .025), male sex (P = .001), ending treatment early (P = .011), and having 1 of 3 serious indications (airway compromise, leptomeningeal disease, and superior/inferior vena cava involvement; P = .007) were significantly associated with worse overall survival.Conclusions
Survival is particularly poor in patients who receive emergent PRT, and patient characteristics such as functional status and indication should be considered when determining fractionation schedule and dosing. A multi-institutional study of practice patterns and outcomes is warranted. 相似文献7.

Background
In the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results population-based data, the survival curves reversed between T4N0 (stages IIB or IIC) and T1-2N1 (stage IIIA) in rectal cancer. However, T4N0 had a higher stage than T1-2N1 in the current colorectal staging system.Patients and Methods
We analyzed 1804 patients with rectal cancer who were treated with preoperative chemoradiotherapy and curative surgery. We grouped patients by pathologic stage, and recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival rates were calculated and compared for each stage. We evaluated prognostic factors that influenced recurrence and survival.Results
In the recurrence and survival analysis, 3-year RFS rates were 95.9% for ypStage 0, 94.0% for ypStage I, 78.9% for ypStage IIA, 55.8% for ypStage IIB/C, 80.2% for ypStage IIIA, 64.6% for ypStage IIIB, and 44.9% for ypStage IIIC. Patients with ypStage IIB/C showed significantly worse RFS (P = .004) than did those with ypStage IIIA. The ypStage IIB/C group showed significantly higher rates of both locoregional recurrence (24.3% vs. 5.5%; P = .02) and distant metastasis (31.6% vs. 17.1%; P = .048) than did the ypStage IIIA group. Compared with ypStage IIIA, ypStage IIB/C showed significantly higher pre-chemoradiotherapy carcinoembryonic antigen (P = .004), circumferential radial margin involvement (P = .001), and positive perineural invasion (P = .014).Conclusion
Patients with rectal cancer staged ypT4N0 were associated with higher locoregional recurrence and distant metastasis rates than those staged ypT1-2N1 in the current staging system. 相似文献8.

Background
Single-agent gemcitabine is a moderately effective compound in metastatic breast cancer (mBC) treatment. Carboplatin is frequently used in addition to gemcitabine to improve tumor responses, but with an unclear effect on survival outcomes. In this study we evaluated the antitumor efficacy and safety profiles of gemcitabine and carboplatin-gemcitabine in mBC patients.Patients and Methods
We retrospectively collected data on patients treated between April 2012 and February 2018 with gemcitabine 800 mg/m2or carboplatin at an area under the curve of 2 with gemcitabine 800 mg/m2, given on days 1 and 8 every 21 days. We compared progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), overall survival, and incidence of adverse events (AEs) in the 2 cohorts.Results
Of 163 consecutive patients who met the inclusion criteria, 75 received gemcitabine and 88 carboplatin-gemcitabine. Patients in the combination cohort had received a lower number of previous chemotherapy lines (2 vs. 3), and were less likely to have received carboplatin (9 patients [10%] vs. 34 patients [45%]; P < .0001). We found no PFS differences in carboplatin-gemcitabine and gemcitabine cohorts (4.24 vs. 4.61 months; adjusted hazard ratio, 0.98; P = .92), whereas the combination was associated with a trend toward higher ORR (18 patients [20.4%] vs. 8 patients [10.6%]; P = .089) and with significantly higher incidence of Grade 3/4 neutropenia (30 patients [34%] vs. 5 patients [6.6%]; P < .0001).Conclusion
Using carboplatin in addition to gemcitabine is associated with more hematologic AEs but not with better PFS. Although single-agent gemcitabine remains a treatment option for heavily pretreated mBC patients, finding biomarkers of response to platinum salts might help to identify patients more likely to benefit from carboplatin-gemcitabine. 相似文献9.

Background
The safety and efficacy of targeted therapy in older patients (≥ 70 years) with metastatic colorectal cancer is not well evaluated.Patients and Methods
Outcomes of older patients (including overall survival [OS], progression-free survival [PFS], toxicity, and quality of life [QoL]) were compared to young patients using data from 2 large previously reported clinical trials, CO.17 (cetuximab vs. best supportive care) and CO.20 (cetuximab plus placebo vs. cetuximab plus brivanib). Only patients with wild-type KRAS tumors were included.Results
A total of 251 (26.3%) of 955 patients were ≥ 70 years old. No significant differences in OS, PFS, or grade 3/4 adverse events were observed between older and younger patients treated with cetuximab (or cetuximab with placebo) in either trial. Younger patients trended toward superior OS in both CO.17 (hazard ratio = 1.80; P = .16) and CO.20 (hazard ratio = 1.34; P = .07). QoL maintenance favored younger patients in CO.17 (3.6 vs. 5.7 months; P = .046) but no difference of QoL maintenance was observed in the larger CO.20 trial (1.7 vs. 1.8 months; P = .64). Combination therapy of cetuximab and brivanib was significantly more toxic in older adults (87% vs. 77%; P = .03).Conclusion
OS, PFS, and toxicities were similar between older and younger patients with wild-type KRAS metastatic colorectal cancer when treated with cetuximab. Both age groups likely experience similar QoL maintenance with cetuximab. Dual targeted therapy was significantly more toxic in older patients. 相似文献10.

Background
First-line adjuvant chemotherapy options for early-stage colorectal cancer (CRC) include CapeOx (capecitabine, intravenous oxaliplatin) and FOLFOX (intravenous 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin). Capecitabine is an oral prodrug analog of 5-fluorouracil, and recent studies have suggested that proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) may detrimentally affect capecitabine efficacy. Conversely, some literature suggests that PPIs may negatively affect CRC itself. To gain insight into the nature of PPIs’ effect on capecitabine and CRC, we investigated their effects on effectiveness of CapeOx versus FOLFOX chemotherapy.Patients and Methods
We conducted a retrospective chart review of 389 patients with stage II-III CRC who received adjuvant CapeOx or FOLFOX from 2004 to 2013. Information regarding PPI receipt, chemotherapy, and patient outcomes from medical records was analyzed.Results
Three-year recurrence-free survival was significantly lower in CapeOx-treated PPI recipients than non-PPI recipients (69.5 vs. 82.6%; P = .029). Unadjusted analysis showed that CapeOx-treated PPI recipients were twice as likely to experience cancer recurrence or death as CapeOx-treated non-PPI recipients (hazard ratio = 2.03; 95% confidence interval, 1.06-3.88; P = .033). FOLFOX-treated PPI recipients had a non–statistically significant difference in 3-year recurrence-free survival versus non-PPI recipients (82.9 vs. 61.7%; P = .066) and a non–statistically significant difference in recurrence/death (hazard ratio = 0.51; 95% confidence interval, 0.25-1.06; P = .071). No significant differences were seen in overall survival between groups.Conclusion
Our results suggest PPIs negatively affected recurrence-free survival in CapeOx-treated CRC patients and yielded no significant effects among FOLFOX-treated patients, potentially implicating a pharmacokinetic interaction between PPIs and capecitabine. No overall survival effects were seen. Given PPIs’ widespread use, further studies are required to corroborate our findings. 相似文献11.

Background
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a heterogeneous disease characterized by chromosomal translocation, deletion, and amplification in plasma cells, resulting in a huge heterogeneity in its outcomes. In the era of novel agents such as bortezomib, thalidomide, and the cycles of treatment, risk stratification by chromosomal aberrations may enable a more rational risk-stratification selection of therapeutic approaches in patients with MM.Patients and Methods
We performed a retrospective study in 63 patients with MM; 29 (46.03%) with 1q21 gain and 34 (53.97%) without gain.Result
In all patients, we did not find that the patients with 1q21 gain had significantly better survival compared with patients without 1q21 gain (overall survival, P = .6916; progression-free survival, P = .8740). However, in 1q21 gain patients, we found that the bortezomib group had significantly better survival compared with the non-bortezomib group in terms of both the 3-year estimated overall survival (82.3% vs. 18.8%; P = .0154) and progression-free survival (62.8% vs. 8.75%; P = .0385).Conclusion
1q21 gain detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization is not as high risk for poor prognosis with regard to time for overall survival. And the clinical outcome of patients with 1q21 gain can be improved in those who received no less than 4 cycles of bortezomib-based therapy (bortezomib, thalidomide, and dexamethasone). 相似文献12.

Objective
To determine long-term survival of visceral pleural invasion (VPI) and parenchymal invasion (PAI) (angiolymphatic and/or vascular) on survival of NSCLCs less than 30 mm in maximum diameter.Methods
Kaplan-Meier survivals for NSCLCs, with and without VPI and/or PAI, were determined for a prospective cohort of screening participants stratified by pathologic tumor size (≤10 mm, 11–20 mm, and 21–30 mm) and nodule consistency. Log-rank test statistics were calculated.Results
The frequency of PAI versus VPI was significantly lower in patients with subsolid nodules than in those with solid nodules (4.9% versus 27.7% [p < 0.0001]), and correspondingly, Kaplan-Meier lung cancer survival was significantly higher among patients with subsolid nodules (99.1% versus 91.3% [p = 0.0009]). Multivariable Cox regression found that only tumor diameter (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] =1.07, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.01–1.14, p = 0.02) and PAI (adjusted HR = 3.15, 95% CI: 1.25–7.90, p = 0.01) remained significant, whereas VPI was not significant (p = 0.15). When clinical and computed tomography findings were included with the pathologic findings, Cox regression showed that the risk of dying of lung cancer increased 10-fold (HR = 10.06, 95% CI: 1.35–75.30) for NSCLCs in patients with solid nodules and more than twofold (by a factor of 2.27) in patients with moderate to severe emphysema (HR = 2.27, 95% CI: 1.01–5.11), as well as with increasing tumor diameter (HR = 1.06, 95% CI: 1.01–1.13), whereas PAI was no longer significant (p = 0.19).Conclusions
Nodule consistency on computed tomography was a more significant prognostic indicator than either PAI or VPI. We propose that patients with NSCLC with VPI and a maximum tumor diameter of 30 mm or less not be upstaged to T2 without further large, multicenter studies of NSCLCs, stratified by the new T status and that classification be considered separately for patients with subsolid or solid nodules. 相似文献13.

Background
Gastrointestinal (GI) cancer patients may not be considered for therapy with fluoropyrimidines (FPs) because of previous cardiovascular (CV) toxicity or preexisting risk factors; such patients may benefit from raltitrexed-based therapy.Patients and Methods
Patient, tumor, and treatment characteristics, as well as clinical outcomes of all consecutively treated patients with raltitrexed at the Royal Marsden Hospital between October 1998 and July 2011 were examined. GI cancer patients who developed CV toxicity as a result of FPs and those with significant CV risk factors receiving raltitrexed were included in this analysis.Results
A total of 247 patients (155 and 92 with CV FP-related CV toxicities and significant CV risk factors, respectively) treated with raltitrexed alone or in combination were examined after a median follow-up of 47.1 months. CV toxicity profiles of patients receiving capecitabine (n = 110) and 5-fluorouracil (n = 45) were largely similar. Of raltitrexed-treated patients, 13 (5%) experienced CV toxicities and 1 (< 0.1%) died as a result of myocardial infarction. The median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 36.0 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 26.5-48.6) and 44.3 months (95% CI, 33.1-56.8), respectively. The 5-year survival for early stage GI malignancies (n = 140) was 62.0% (95% CI, 50.1-71.9). Median PFS and OS were not reached in this group (interquartile range = 38.4 months to NR); median PFS and OS for advanced GI malignancies (n = 107) were 18.8 (95% CI, 11.9-25.7) and 23.7 months (95% CI, 17.0-26.9), respectively.Conclusion
A raltitrexed-based regimen is well-tolerated therapy with comparable efficacy to FPs in patients with GI malignancies with significant CV toxicities or risk factors. 相似文献14.

Background
There are no validated markers that predict response or resistance in patients with metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (mccRCC) treated with vascular endothelial growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as sunitinib and pazopanib. Recently, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs2981582 in Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 2 (FGFR2) was found to be associated with clinical outcome in patients with mccRCC treated with pazopanib and sunitinib. We aimed to validate these findings in patients treated with sunitinib.Materials and Methods
Germline DNA was collected in patients with mccRCC starting first-line systemic therapy with sunitinib. SNP rs2981582 in FGFR2 C>T was genotyped. Association of the genotype with response rate, tumor shrinkage, median progression-free survival (mPFS), and median overall survival (mOS) was studied.Results
We collected clinical data from 154 patients with available germline DNA. Baseline prognostic markers were well-balanced between both subgroups. Patients with the TT genotype had a poorer outcome compared with patients with the CT/CC genotype. The median shrinkage of selected tumor target lesions during treatment with sunitinib was ?16% versus ?31% (P = .002), mPFS was 8 versus 15 months (P = .0007), and mOS was 22 versus 33 months (P = .04), respectively. On multivariate analysis, rs2981582 remained an independent predictor of PFS (hazard ratio, 2.858; 95% confidence interval, 1.659-4.923; P < .0001) and OS (hazard ratio, 1.795; 95% confidence interval, 1.003-3.212; P = .049).Conclusion
Polymorphism rs2981582 in FGFR2 is correlated to PFS and OS in patients with mccRCC treated with sunitinib. Prospective validation of the impact of this SNP is warranted. 相似文献15.

Introduction
The clinicopathologic features and prognostic predictors of radiological part-solid lung adenocarcinomas were unclear.Methods
We retrospectively compared the clinicopathologic features and survival times of part-solid tumors with those of pure ground glass nodules (pGGNs) and pure solid tumors treated with surgery at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center and evaluated the prognostic implications of consolidation-to-tumor ratio (CTR), solid component size, and tumor size for part-solid lung adenocarcinomas.Results
A total of 911 patients and 988 pulmonary nodules (including 329 part-solid nodules [PSNs], 501 pGGNs, and 158 pure solid nodules) were analyzed. More female patients (p = 0.015) and nonsmokers (p = 0.003) were seen with PSNs than with pure solid nodules. The prevalence of lymphatic metastasis was lower in patients with PSNs than in those with pure solid tumors (2.2% versus 27% [p < 0.001]). The 5-year lung cancer–specific (LCS) recurrence-free survival and LCS overall survival of patients with PSNs were worse than those of patients with pGGNs (p < 0.001 and p = .042, respectively) but better than those of patients with pure solid tumors ([p < 0.001 and p < 0.0001, respectively]). CTR (OR = 12.90; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.85–90.04), solid component size (OR = 1.45; 95% CI: 1.28–1.64), and tumor size (OR = 1.23; 95% CI: 1.15–1.31) could predict pathologic invasive adenocarcinoma for patients with PSNs. None of them could predict the prognosis. Patients receiving sublobar resection had prognoses comparable to those of patients receiving lobectomy (p = .178 for 5-year LCS recurrence-free survival and p = .319 for 5-year LCS overall survival). The prognostic differences between patients with systemic lymph node dissection and those without systemic lymph node dissection were statistically insignificant.Conclusions
Part-solid lung adenocarcinoma showed clinicopathologic features different from those of pure solid tumor. CTR, solid component size, and tumor size could not predict the prognosis. Part-solid lung adenocarcinomas define one special clinical subtype. 相似文献16.

Background
Metastases to the brain occur in 10%-16% of patients with breast cancer, with incidence reportedly increasing. Historically, brain metastases (BM) have been treated with whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT), but stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is an increasingly favored treatment option. In this study we used a population-level database to compare patterns of care and survival between WBRT and SRS for BM from breast cancer.Materials and Methods
The National Cancer Database was used to select patients treated with radiation for BM from primary breast cancer. Groups were classified on the basis of the modality of radiation delivered to the brain and compared across several demographic factors. A Kaplan–Meier survival curve and Cox multivariate analysis were used to compare overall survival. A matched analysis using propensity scores was used to further reduce confounders and compare survival.Results
The treatment groups were significantly different across several socioeconomic variables including income, insurance status, and treatment setting. The percentage of patients who received SRS increased dramatically in the second half of the analyzed time period (P < .001). Unadjusted median survival was significantly longer for patients who received SRS versus those who received WBRT (P < .001). This finding persisted after propensity score-matching.Conclusion
Receipt of SRS was associated with different socioeconomic variables and longer overall survival compared with WBRT, highlighting the need for less toxic treatment for patients who are now living longer. The results revealed important socioeconomic differences between patients selected for SRS versus WBRT and emphasizes disparities in access to modern radiation techniques across the United States. 相似文献17.

Background
Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (chRCC) is known as an indolent tumor; however, mortality still occurs. We sought to determine the clinicopathologic and genomic factors associated with aggressive chRCC.Patients and Methods
Two different datasets were used to identify patients with clinical stage III and IV chRCC. Eighteen patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and 1693 patients from the American College of Surgeons National Cancer Database (NCDB) were used for analysis. From the TCGA, RNA-Seq expression analysis of 18,745 genes was conducted between the recurrent (n = 5; 27.8%) and nonrecurrent patients (n = 13; 72.2%). Biological significance was identified via pathway enrichment and gene function analyses. From the NCDB, Cox proportion hazards regression models were used to identify variables associated with overall survival (OS) at a median follow-up of 41.4 months.Results
Between the 2 groups, 2182 genes were differentially expressed. The most commonly overexpressed pathways were neuroactive ligand-receptor interactions and cytokine-cytokine receptor interactions. The most activated gene functions were cellular, metabolic, and multicellular organismal processes. In the NCDB, multivariable analysis, age (hazard ratio [HR], 1.04; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.03-1.05; P < .001), TNM stage IV versus III (HR, 3.86; 95% CI, 2.98-5.00; P < .001), and positive surgical margin (HR, 1.68; 95% CI, 1.45-1.96; P < .001) were associated with worse OS at a median follow-up of 41.4 months. Five-year OS was significantly lower for stage IV patients compared with stage III patients (80.0% vs. 29.9%; P < .001).Conclusions
Patients with recurrent chRCC demonstrated a differential gene expression of specific biochemical pathways. Clinical parameters associated with worse OS included age, stage, and positive surgical margin. 相似文献18.

Background
Programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) is a potential predictive biomarker for immunotherapy in several malignancies. However, the expression level and clinical significance of PD-L1 in von Hippel–Lindau (VHL)-associated hereditary clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) remain unclear.Patients and Methods
Surgical specimens were recruited from 129 patients with sporadic ccRCC and 26 patients with VHL-associated hereditary ccRCC. The PD-L1 expression level was assessed using immunohistochemistry. Correlations between PD-L1 expression and clinicopathological features were analyzed.Results
In sporadic ccRCC, the positive expression rate of PD-L1 was 47.3% (61/129). Positive PD-L1 expression was correlated with advanced tumor T stage (P = .011), higher Fuhrman nuclear grade (P = .022), poor disease-free survival (P = .037), and sex (P = .025). In the VHL-associated hereditary ccRCC, positive PD-L1 expression rate was 34.6% (9/26), lower than that in sporadic ccRCC. Positive PD-L1 was correlated with higher Fuhrman nuclear grade (P = .008), but not with sex, age, tumor stage, or the onset age of VHL-associated tumors.Conclusion
Positive PD-L1 expression was correlated with the aggressive clinicopathological features in sporadic and VHL-associated hereditary ccRCC. Whether PD-L1 expression level in ccRCC is related to the effectiveness of programmed death-1/PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy needs to be further investigated. 相似文献19.

Introduction
Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a promising curative treatment for early-stage NSCLC. It is unclear if survival outcomes for SBRT are influenced by a lack of pathological confirmation of malignancy and staging of disease in these patients. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we assess survival outcomes after SBRT in studies with patients with clinically diagnosed versus biopsy-proven early-stage NSCLC.Methods
The main databases were searched for trials and cohort studies without restrictions to publication status or language. Two independent researchers performed the screening and selection of eligible studies. Outcomes were overall survival, cancer-specific survival, and disease-free survival. The inverse variance method and the random effects method for meta-analysis were used to assess pooled survival estimates.Results
A total of 11,195 nonduplicate records were identified by the original search strategy. After screening by title and abstract, 1051 potentially eligible records were identified. A total of 43 articles were included. The comparative studies showed lower 3-year overall survival and lower 2-year and 5-year cancer-specific survival for biopsy-proven disease compared to clinical disease. However, 5-year overall survival was the same for both groups. For the pooled estimates, 3-year disease-free survival and 2-year cancer-specific survival were lower for biopsied disease.Conclusions
Results of this systematic review and meta-analysis show a discrepancy in oncological outcomes for patients undergoing SBRT for suspected early-stage NSCLC in whom there is pathologic conformation of malignancy and those who there is only a clinical diagnose of NSCLC. These results emphasize the importance of obtaining pathologic proof of malignancy. 相似文献20.
