Background

Brain metastases (BM) occur frequently in patients with metastatic kidney cancer and are a significant source of morbidity and mortality. Although historically associated with a poor prognosis, survival outcomes for patients in the modern era are incompletely characterized. In particular, outcomes after adjusting for systemic therapy administration and International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Database Consortium (IMDC) risk factors are not well-known.

Patients and Methods

A retrospective database of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) treated at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center between 2006 and 2015 was created. Data relevant to their diagnosis, treatment course, and outcomes were systematically collected. Survival was analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method. Patients with BM were compared with patients without BM after adjusting for the timing of BM diagnosis, either prior to or during first-line systemic therapy. The impact of stratification according to IMDC risk group was assessed.

Results

A total of 56 (28.4%) of 268 patients with metastatic RCC were diagnosed with BM prior to or during first-line systemic therapy. Median overall survival (OS) for systemic therapy-naive patients with BM compared with matched patients without BM was 19.5 versus 28.7 months (P = .0117). When analyzed according to IMDC risk group, the median OS for patients with BM was similar for favorable- and intermediate-risk patients (not reached vs. not reached; and 29.0 vs. 36.7 months; P = .5254), and inferior for poor-risk patients (3.5 vs. 9.4 months; P = .0462). For patients developing BM while on first-line systemic therapy, survival from the time of progression did not significantly differ by presence or absence of BM (11.8 vs. 17.8 months; P = .6658).

Conclusions

Survival rates for patients with BM are significantly better than historical reports. After adjusting for systemic therapy, the survival rates of patients with BM in favorable- and intermediate-risk groups were remarkably better than expected and not statistically different from patients without BM, though this represents a single institution experience, and numbers are modest.  相似文献

Background

Sunitinib malate, a targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is standard of care for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) and serves as the active comparator in several ongoing mRCC clinical trials. In this analysis we report benchmarks for clinical outcomes on the basis of International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Database Consortium (IMDC) risk groups for patients treated with sunitinib for mRCC in a first-line setting.

Materials and Methods

A retrospective analysis was performed on data from sunitinib-treated patients (n = 375) in the pivotal phase III trial of sunitinib versus interferon-α as first-line treatment for mRCC. Objective response rates (ORRs) were determined from independently reviewed radiologic assessments. The Kaplan–Meier method was used to estimate median progression-free survival (PFS) and median overall survival (OS) according to patient risk group.

Results

Median PFS (95% confidence interval [CI]) was 14.1 (13.4-17.1), 10.7 (10.5-12.5), 2.4 (1.1-4.7), and 10.6 (8.1-10.9) months in sunitinib-treated patients in the IMDC favorable (n = 134), intermediate (n = 205), poor (n = 34), and intermediate + poor (n = 239) risk groups, respectively. Median OS (95% CI) was 23.0 (19.8-27.8), 5.1 (4.3-9.9), and 20.3 (16.8-23.0) months in sunitinib-treated patients in IMDC intermediate, poor, and intermediate + poor risk groups, respectively, and was not reached in the favorable risk group (>50% of patients were alive at data cutoff). ORRs (95% CI) was 53.0% (44.2%-61.7%), 33.7% (27.2%-40.6%), 11.8% (3.3%-27.5%), and 30.5% (24.8%-36.8%) in sunitinib-treated patients in IMDC favorable, intermediate, poor, and intermediate + poor risk groups, respectively.

Conclusion

Results of this retrospective analysis show differences in patient outcomes for PFS, OS, and ORR on the basis of IMDC prognostic risk group assignment for patients with mRCC.  相似文献

Background

Almost half of patients with metastatic renal-cell carcinoma (mRCC) are classified as intermediate risk by the International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Database Consortium (IMDC) model. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether baseline C-reactive protein (CRP) levels predict overall survival (OS) in intermediate-risk group mRCC patients.

Patients and Methods

Data from 107 intermediate-risk group mRCC patients receiving first-line targeted therapy were retrospectively reviewed. We evaluated the correlation between baseline CRP levels as well as other indices and OS.

Results

Of the 107 patients with intermediate-risk disease, 46 patients (43%) were classified as having elevated CRP levels. The elevation of pretreatment serum CRP levels was the independent prognostic factor of OS in patients with intermediate risk (hazard ratio, 4.609; P = .001). The 1- and 3-year survival rates of patients with intermediate–nonelevated CRP were 90.0% and 64.7% compared to the favorable-risk group, at 92.1% and 68.5%, respectively. In contrast, the 1- and 3-year survival rates of patients with intermediate–elevated CRP were 80.5% and 37.4% compared to the poor-risk group, at 65.2% and 24.2%, respectively.

Conclusion

Baseline CRP levels could divide mRCC patients in the intermediate-risk group into 2 prognostic subgroups.  相似文献

Background

Biomarkers to guide treatment in metastatic renal-cell carcinoma (mRCC) are lacking. We aimed to investigate the association between pretreatment neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and outcome of patients with mRCC receiving nivolumab.

Patients and Methods

Through retrospective chart review, we identified 38 patients with mRCC treated with standard-of-care nivolumab between 2015 and 2016 at Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University. NLR was determined from complete blood count collected before starting treatment, and imaging was performed to assess progression. The NLR cutoff value of 5.5 was determined by log-rank test, and the univariate association with overall survival (OS) or progression-free survival (PFS) was assessed by the Cox proportional hazard model and Kaplan-Meier method.

Results

The 38 patients had a median age of 69 years. The PFS and OS for all patients at 12 months was 54% and 69%, respectively. The median PFS was 2.6 months in the high NLR group but not reached in the low NLR group. Low NLR was strongly associated with increased PFS with hazard ratio of 0.20 (95% confidence interval, 0.07-0.64; P = .006). The median OS was 2.7 months in the high NLR group but not reached in the low NLR group. Low NLR was significantly associated with a prolonged OS with hazard ratio of 0.06 (95% confidence interval, 0.01-0.55; P = .012).

Conclusion

Pretreatment NLR < 5.5 is associated with superior PFS and OS. NLR is a biomarker that can inform prognosis for patients with mRCC and should be further validated in larger cohorts and in prospective studies.  相似文献

Introduction

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the association of smoking with biochemical recurrence (BCR) and metastasis in radiation-recurrent prostate cancer (PCa) patients undergoing salvage radical prostatectomy (SRP).

Patients and Methods

A total of 214 patients treated with SRP for radiation-recurrent PCa in 5 tertiary referral centers were included from January 2007 to December 2015. Kaplan-Meier analyses were used to assess the time to BCR and metastasis. Pre- and postoperative multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression models were fitted.

Results

Overall, 120 (56.1%), 49 (22.9%), and 45 (21%) patients were never, former, and current smokers, respectively. Low-, medium-, and high-cumulative smoking exposure was registered in 59.8%, 16.4%, and 23.8% of cases, respectively. Patients with high cumulative smoking exposure had a significantly greater rate of a pathologic Gleason score of ≥ 8 (P = .01) and extracapsular extension (P = .004). Smoking status, cumulative smoking exposure, intensity, and duration were significantly associated with BCR-free survival (P < .001 for all). Smoking status, cumulative smoking exposure, and smoking intensity were significantly associated with metastasis-free survival (P = .03 for all). High cumulative smoking exposure was independently associated with BCR in both pre- (hazard ratio, 2.23; P = .001) and postoperative (hazard ratio, 1.64; P = .04) multivariable models adjusted for the effects of established clinicopathologic features. Smoking cessation did not affect either BCR- or metastasis-free survival (P = .56 and P = .40, respectively).

Conclusion

High cumulative smoking exposure was associated with the biologic and clinical aggressiveness of PCa in patients treated with SRP for radiation-recurrent disease. Smoking is a modifiable risk factor that detrimentally affected the outcomes, even in patients with advanced PCa.  相似文献

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

Background

The International mRCC (metastatic renal cell carcinoma) Database Consortium (IMDC) is the standard classification for mRCC. We aimed to evaluate the outcomes of a large cohort of patients with an intermediate or a poor prognosis treated with sunitinib using a different cutoff point for IMDC to improve the classification.

Patients and Methods

Patients with an intermediate or a poor prognosis according to the IMDC criteria and treated with sunitinib were included in the present study. A new cutoff point was used to categorize the patients. The new score was validated in an independent cohort of patients.

Results

A total of 457 patients were included in the present study. Significant differences in overall survival (OS) were highlighted regarding the number of prognostic factors. Three categories were identified according to the presence of 1 (ie, favorable-intermediate group), 2 (ie, real-intermediate group), and > 2 (ie, poor group) factors. The corresponding median OS periods were 32.9, 20.0, and 8.9 months, with significant differences among the groups. The validation cohort included 389 patients. The median OS period for the favorable-intermediate group, real-intermediate group, and poor group was 34.3, 19.4, and 9.0 months, respectively, with confirmed significant differences among the groups.

Conclusion

Our analysis revealed significant differences among patients with an intermediate prognosis using the IMDC prognostic factors. Further investigations to optimize the use of available and upcoming therapies are required.  相似文献

Background

Renal-cell carcinoma (RCC) is one of the common malignancies in the United States. RCC incidence and mortality have been changing for many reasons. We performed a thorough investigation of incidence and mortality trends of RCC in the United States using the cell Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database.

Patients and Methods

The 13 SEER registries were accessed for RCC cases diagnosed between 1992 and 2015. Incidence and mortality were calculated by demographic and tumor characteristics. We calculated annual percentage changes of these rates. Rates were expressed as 100,000 person-years.

Results

A total of 104,584 RCC cases were reviewed, with 47,561 deaths. The overall incidence was 11.281 per 100,000 person-years. Incidence increased by 2.421% per year (95% confidence interval, 2.096, 2.747; P < .001) but later became stable since 2008. However, the incidence of clear-cell subtype continued to increase (1.449%; 95% confidence interval, 0.216, 2.697; P = .024). RCC overall mortality rates have been declining since 2001. However, mortality associated with distant RCC only started to decrease in 2012, with an annual percentage change of 18.270% (95% confidence interval, ?28.775, ?6.215; P = .006).

Conclusion

Despite an overall increase in the incidence of RCC, there has been a recent plateau in RCC incidence rates with a significant decrease in mortality.  相似文献

Purpose

To evaluate the prognostic role of cytoreductive nephrectomy (CN) in patients with synchronous metastatic renal-cell carcinoma (mRCC).

Patients and Methods

We analyzed the electronic medical records of 294 patients with synchronous mRCC treated at Samsung Medical Center from January 2005 to December 2015. Primary and secondary end points were overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS), respectively. OS and CSS were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared between patients with and without CN, particularly by performing 1:1 propensity score matching. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to identify independent predictors of survival outcomes.

Results

Among the overall population of synchronous mRCC patients, 189 patients (64.3%) underwent CN. Compared to mRCC patients without CN, those who underwent CN have a higher proportion of single metastasis (63.0% vs. 32.4%) and clear-cell histology (87.8% vs. 72.4%). In the matched cohort, the patients who underwent CN had better OS and CSS outcomes compared to those who did not undergo CN (median OS, 23.0 months vs. 11.0 months; P < .001; median CSS, 34.0 months vs. 14.0 months; P < .001). On multivariable analysis, undergoing CN, body mass index, and Heng risk score were found as significant predictive factors of both OS and CSS. In subgroup analyses stratified by Heng risk criteria, the patients who received CN had better OS and CSS in all risk groups.

Conclusion

CN significantly improved survival outcomes in synchronous mRCC patients treated with targeted therapies and independently associated with prolonged survival, regardless of Heng risk criteria.  相似文献

Background

We characterized clinical outcomes of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) treated with sunitinib who were long-term responders (LTRs), defined as patients having progression-free survival (PFS) > 18 months.

Patients and Methods

A retrospective analysis of data from 5714 patients with mRCC treated with sunitinib in 8 phase II/III clinical trials and the expanded access program. Duration on-study and objective response rate (ORR) were compared between LTRs and patients with PFS ≤ 18 months (“others”). PFS and overall survival (OS) were summarized using Kaplan–Meier methodology.

Results

Overall, 898 (15.7%) patients achieved a long-term response and 4816 (84.3%) patients did not achieve long-term response. The median (range) duration on-study was 28.6 (16.8-70.7) months in LTRs and 5.5 (0-68.8) months in others. ORR was 51% in LTRs versus 14% in others (P < .0001). Median PFS in LTRs was 32.11 months and median OS was not reached. LTRs had higher percentage of early tumor shrinkage ≥ 10% at the first scan (67.1% vs. 51.2%; P = .0018) and greater median maximum on-study tumor shrinkage from baseline (?56.9 vs. ?27.1; P < .0001) versus others. White race, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0, time from diagnosis to treatment ≥ 1 year, clear cell histology, no liver metastasis, lactate dehydrogenase ≤ 1.5 upper limit of normal (ULN), corrected calcium ≤ 10 mg/dL, hemoglobin greater than the lower limit of normal, platelets less than or equal to ULN, body mass index ≥ 25 kg/m2, and low neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio were associated with LTR.

Conclusion

A subset of patients with mRCC treated with sunitinib achieved long-term response. LTRs had improved ORR, PFS, and OS.  相似文献

Introduction

The programmed death 1 antibodies (PD-1 Ab) nivolumab and pembrolizumab improve overall survival (OS) in advanced non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We evaluated the correlation between immune-related adverse events (irAE) and treatment interruption due to irAE on clinical efficacy of PD-1 Ab in advanced NSCLC.

Patients and Methods

Advanced NSCLC patients treated with PD-1 Ab between June 2015 to November 2017 at BC Cancer were identified. Demographic, tumor, treatment details, and frequency and grade (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 4.0) of irAE were abstracted from chart review. Kaplan-Meier curves of OS from initiation of PD-1 Ab were generated. Multivariable analysis with 6- and 12-week landmark analysis was performed by Cox proportional hazard regression models.

Results

In a cohort of 271 patients, irAEs were observed in 116 patients (42.8%). Nivolumab recipients developing colitis had lower OS compared to those who did not at the 6-week landmark (P = .010) and 12-week landmark (P = .072). For the entire cohort, 56 patients (20.7%) needed treatment interruption because of an irAE. Treatment interruption correlated with lower OS at the 6-week landmark (P = .005) and 12-week landmark (P = .008). Six-week landmark multivariable analysis identified Charlson Comorbidity Index score of 3 or higher, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status of 2 or higher, presence of liver metastases, and irAE greater than grade 2 versus no irAE to be associated with decreased OS (each P < .05).

Conclusion

Treatment interruption due to irAE was associated with a lower median OS compared to continuous PD-1 Ab therapy. Shorter OS seen with severe irAE might reflect the need for improved physician education in irAE treatment algorithms.  相似文献

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

Background

As oral targeted agents, such as ibrutinib, become more widely used, understanding the impact of suboptimal dosing on overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) outside of clinical trials is imperative.

Patients and Methods

Data on ibrutinib discontinuation, dose reductions, and treatment interruptions were collected on 170 non-Hodgkin lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL; n = 115, 64%) patients treated with ibrutinib at a single institution. Ibrutinib dose adherence was calculated as the proportion of days in which ibrutinib was administered out of the total number of days ibrutinib was prescribed in the first 8 weeks. Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank tests were used to compare conditional survival outcomes beyond 8 weeks in patients with ≥ 80% dose adherence and patients with < 80% dose adherence.

Results

Median OS among those who discontinued therapy for progression was poor (n = 51, 1.7 months; 95% confidence interval, 0.3-3.7). Lower dose adherence (< 80%) was associated with significantly worse PFS (P = .002) and OS (P = .021). However, among CLL patients, lower dose adherence was only associated with worse PFS (P = .043). Patients with early dose reductions had significantly worse PFS (P = .004) and OS (P = .014). Patients with dose interruptions lasting > 1 week had worse PFS (P = .047) but not OS (P = .577).

Conclusion

In this observational study, non-Hodgkin lymphoma and CLL patients experienced poor outcomes after discontinuing ibrutinib for disease progression. The inferior survival related to suboptimal dose adherence of ibrutinib was predominantly due to early dose reduction. These data confirm poor survival in CLL and lymphoma patients alike after ibrutinib discontinuation, and support recommendations for full dose at treatment initiation.  相似文献

Background

Given the lack of established indications for elective nodal irradiation (ENI) in ypN0 patients after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and breast-conserving surgery (BCS), we set out to investigate the role of ENI in ypN0 patients according to subtype and pathologic complete remission (pCR) status.

Patients and Methods

We analyzed 261 patients who received NAC followed by BCS and adjuvant radiotherapy in 13 institutions of the Korean Radiation Oncology Group from 2005 to 2011. The tumors were classified into one of 3 subtypes: luminal (estrogen receptor positive or progesterone receptor positive and HER2 negative), HER2 (HER2 positive), or triple negative (estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and HER2 negative). We compared locoregional control (LRC), disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS) according to ENI in different subgroups generated by the subtype and pCR statuses.

Results

In all patients, the 5-year LRC, DFS, and OS rates were 96.0%, 91.0%, and 96.8%, respectively. In all patients, axillary lymph node dissection was found to be the only favorable factor for LRC (P = .023) and DFS (P = .001). Age ≥ 50 years (P = .027), negative resection margin (P = .002), and axillary lymph node dissection (P = .002) were all favorable factors for OS. ENI did not affect LRC, DFS, or OS. Subgroup analysis by tumor subtype and pCR showed that ENI was not associated with greater LRC or DFS in any subgroups.

Conclusion

In ypN0 patients after NAC and BCS, ENI did not improve LRC or survival, regardless of subtype or primary tumor response. This result should be verified through larger prospective trials.  相似文献

Background

The purpose of the present retrospective analysis was to describe the trends in exposure to multiple lines of treatment and overall survival (OS) in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) who started therapy in 2 different periods (period 1, 2004-2010; and period 2, 2011-2017).

Patients and Methods

The proportion of patients who received subsequent lines of treatment after disease progression was compared between the 2 groups. OS was measured from the start of first-line treatment for metastatic disease to death or the last follow-up examination. Both univariate and multivariate analyses were performed.

Results

A total of 500 patients were included in the study; 274 started treatment in period 1 and 226 in period 2. Of those patients who stopped first-line treatment because of disease progression, the patients in period 2 had a greater conditional probability to receive second- and third-line treatment compared with patients in period 1 (77.2% vs. 63.7%; odds ratio [OR], 1.93; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.20-3.11; P = .0065; and 69.6% vs. 48.1%; OR, 2.48; 95% CI, 1.40-4.40; P = .002, respectively). The median OS improved from 22.8 months for patients in period 1 to 38.2 months for patients in period 2 (univariate analysis: hazard ratio, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.50-0.83; P = .001).

Conclusion

Patients who started treatment during the past 5 years were exposed to a greater number of treatment lines compared with patients treated before 2011. Our data suggest that the increase of treatment options available and clinician expertise could be associated with better outcomes.  相似文献

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

Background

Previous studies have shown that variability in molecular markers correlates with poorer survival outcomes in patients with right-sided colon cancer (RCC) compared with left-sided colon cancer (LCC). However, several studies have shown conflicting results when examined stage for stage. We examined RCC and LCC to assess for differences in histopathologic features and overall survival (OS).

Materials and Methods

The National Cancer Database was used to identify patients with RCC and LCC from 2004 to 2013. A propensity-adjusted analysis evaluating the association between the primary site and OS was performed.

Results

Of the 422,443 patients identified, 54.7% had RCC and 45.3% had LCC. For all stages, the patients with RCC were older, had more poorly differentiated tumors, and had a greater degree of microsatellite instability compared with those with LCC. Patients with RCC also had more KRAS mutations than did those with LCC. RCC patients had poorer 3- and 5-year OS at all stages, especially stage 3 (62% vs. 73% and 50% vs. 62%, respectively; P < .001). The median OS was 77.5 months for LCC and 62.3 months for RCC (P < .001).

Conclusion

The present study is one of the largest studies demonstrating that RCC and LCC are different biologic entities. Patients with RCC had significantly greater rates of microsatellite instability for all stages, which has been previously shown to be prognostically advantageous. However, the results of the present study showed poorer OS at every disease stage for RCC compared with LCC. These factors have important implications for the further use of targeted therapies in the treatment of advanced colon cancer.  相似文献

Background

Radium 223 was introduced for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer based on the results of a randomized controlled trial showing risk reduction for death and skeletal events. Our aim was to evaluate the outcome of patients receiving radium 223 in a real-world setting.

Patients and Methods

We conducted a multicenter retrospective analysis in the Triveneto region of Italy.

Results

One hundred fifty-eight patients received radium 223 in our region. After a median follow-up of 9.5 months, 75 patients died. The median overall survival (OS) was 14.2 months, and the median progression-free survival (PFS) was 6.2 months. Seventy-one (45%) patients achieved progression as best response. Thirty-seven (23%) patients stopped the treatment early because of progression. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status was prognostic for OS (18.4 vs. 12.3 vs. 7.5 months; 0 vs. 1, P = .0062; 0 vs. 2, P = .0002), whereas previous prostatectomy or docetaxel exposure were not. A neutrophil to lymphocytes ratio ≥ 3 significantly impacted OS (18.1 vs. 9.7 months; P < .001) and slightly impacted PFS (6.6 vs. 5.6 months; P = .05). Patients with a baseline alkaline phosphatase (ALP) value ≥ 220 U/L had worse OS and PFS (24.1 vs. 10.5 months; 7.2 vs. 5.5 months; P < .001). Patients with changes in ALP value achieved better OS (P = .029) and PFS (P = .002). There was no difference according to the line of therapy (0 vs. ≥ 1; P = .490). The main grade 3/4 toxicities were anemia, asthenia, and thrombocytopenia.

Conclusion

This large real-world report confirms comparable OS and PFS data when compared with the pivotal study, as well as the predictive role of ALP and neutrophil to lymphocytes ratio. The definition of the optimal position of radium 223 in the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer has still to be defined.  相似文献

Introduction

Clinical variables describing the natural history and longitudinal therapy outcomes of stage IV anaplastic lymphoma kinase gene rearrangement positive (ALK-positive) NSCLC and their relationship with long-term overall survival (OS) have not previously been described in detail.

Methods

Patients with stage IV NSCLC treated with an ALK inhibitor at the University of Colorado Cancer Center from 2009 through November 2017 were identified retrospectively. OS curves were constructed by using Kaplan-Meier methods. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard analysis was used to determine the relationship of variables with OS.

Results

Of the 110 patients with ALK-positive NSCLC who were identified, 105 received crizotinib as their initial ALK inhibitor. With a median follow-up time of 47 months, the median OS time from diagnosis of stage IV disease was 81 months (6.8 years). Brain metastases at diagnosis of stage IV disease (hazard ratio = 1.01, p = 0.971) and year of stage IV presentation (p = 0.887) did not influence OS. More organs with tumor at diagnosis of stage IV disease was associated with worse OS (HR = 1.49 for each additional organ with disease, including the CNS [p = 0.002]). Each additional month of pemetrexed-based therapy was associated with a 7% relative decrease in risk of death.

Conclusion

Patients with stage IV ALK-positive NSCLC can have prolonged OS. Brain metastases at diagnosis of stage IV disease does not influence OS. Having more organs involved with tumor at stage IV presentation is associated with worse outcomes. Prolonged benefit from pemetrexed is associated with better outcomes.  相似文献

Background

The primary tumor side is emerging as a major prognostic factor for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). We examined the survival data from 2 randomized studies to determine whether the outcomes differ between patients with mCRC with right-sided primary (RSP) tumors and those with left-sided primary (LSP) tumors after selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) plus mFOLFOX6 (folinic acid [leucovorin], 5-fluorouracil, oxaliplatin) chemotherapy, versus chemotherapy alone.

Patients and Methods

Separate and combined analyses were performed on the data from the SIRFLOX and FOXFIRE global trials, which compared chemotherapy plus SIRT with chemotherapy alone for patients with mCRC liver metastases. The primary tumor side data were prospectively collected. The principal outcome measure was overall survival (OS) stratified by treatment and primary tumor side.

Results

In the combined analysis of all 739 patients enrolled, SIRT had no effect on OS (median OS, 24.3 vs. 24.6 months; hazard ratio [HR], 1.021; P = .810). For the 179 patients (24.2%) with a RSP tumor, OS was improved with the addition of SIRT (median, 22.0 vs. 17.1 months HR, 0.641; P = .008). The addition of SIRT was not associated with a significant difference in OS among the 540 patients with a LSP tumor (median, 24.6 vs. 26.6 months; HR, 1.120; P = .264). A test of treatment interaction by primary tumor side was statistically significant for RSP and SIRT (P = .002).

Conclusion

The addition of SIRT for patients with RSP tumors, but not for those with LSP tumors, was associated with a statistically and clinically significant OS gain.  相似文献
