Molecular mechanisms of lapatinib resistance in breast cancer are not well understood. The aim of this study was to correlate expression of selected proteins involved in ErbB family signaling pathways with clinical efficacy of lapatinib. Study group included 270 HER2-positive advanced breast cancer patients treated with lapatinib and capecitabine. Immunohistochemical expression of phosphorylated adenosine monophosphate-activated protein (p-AMPK), mitogen-activated protein kinase (p-MAPK), phospho (p)-p70S6K, cyclin E, phosphatase and tensin homolog were analyzed in primary breast cancer samples. The best discriminative value for progression-free survival (PFS) was established for each biomarker and subjected to multivariate analysis. At least one biomarker was determined in 199 patients. Expression of p-p70S6K was independently associated with longer (HR 0.45; 95% CI: 0.25–0.81; p = 0.009), and cyclin E with shorter PFS (HR 1.83; 95% CI: 1.06–3.14; p = 0.029). Expression of p-MAPK (HR 1.61; 95% CI 1.13–2.29; p = 0.009) and cyclin E (HR 2.99; 95% CI: 1.29–6.94; p = 0.011) was correlated with shorter, and expression of estrogen receptor (HR 0.65; 95% CI 0.43–0.98; p = 0.041) with longer overall survival. Expression of p-AMPK negatively impacted response to treatment (HR 3.31; 95% CI 1.48–7.44; p = 0.004) and disease control (HR 3.07; 95% CI 1.25–7.58; p = 0.015). In conclusion: the efficacy of lapatinib seems to be associated with the activity of downstream signaling pathways – AMPK/mTOR and Ras/Raf/MAPK. Further research is warranted to assess the clinical utility of these data and to determine a potential role of combining lapatinib with MAPK pathway inhibitors. 相似文献

Objective: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of UTUC patients with or without concurrent bladder tumor. Design, Setting, and Participants: The Clinical Research Office of the Endourology Society-Urothelial Carcinomas of the Upper Tract (CROES-UTUC) Registry included 1134 UTUC patients with or without concurrent bladder tumor treated between 2014 and 2019. Results: In 218 (19.2%) cases, concurrent bladder tumor was present, while in 916 (80.8%) patients, no bladder cancer was found. In the multivariable Cox regression analysis, concomitant bladder tumor (hazard ratio (HR) 1.562, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.954–2.560, p = 0.076) indicated a trend associated with recurrence-free survival for UTUC. Further data dissection confirmed that concomitant bladder tumor is a risk factor of bladder recurrence (HR 1.874, 95% CI 1.104–3.183, p = 0.020) but not UTUC recurrence (HR 0.876, 95% CI 0.292–2.625, p = 0.812). Kidney-sparing surgery (KSS) (HR 3.940, 95% CI 1.352–11.486, p = 0.012), pathological T staging ≥ pT2 (HR 2.840, 95% 1.039–7.763, p = 0.042) were significantly associated with UTUC recurrence. KSS does not affect bladder recurrence (HR 0.619, 95% CI 0.242–1.580, p = 0.315). A limitation is the retrospective nature of the present study analysis. Conclusions: The presence of concomitant bladder tumor does not increase risk of UTUC recurrence, but it results in an increased risk of bladder recurrence. KSS does not affect bladder recurrence and can still be considered in patients with concomitant bladder tumor. 相似文献

Background:
Although the independent effects of smoking status and HAART are reported as lower risks against KS, their combined effects have not been explored. We examined whether there is an interaction between smoking status and HAART use on the risk of KS development in an on-going US cohort of HIV-infected men.Methods:
Cox proportional hazards regression was used to analyse a total sample of 2736 participants of the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study (MACS).Results:
We identified 530 incident KS cases with a total follow-up time of 26 594 person-years (incidence rate: 2.00 out of 100 person-years). Current smoking status and HAART use were independently associated with a lower risk of KS development (hazard ratio – HR=0.56, 95% CI: 0.35–0.90, P=0.02 and HR=0.27, 95% CI: 0.16–0.48, P<0.0001, respectively). There was no evidence of multiplicative interaction between current smoking status and HAART use on KS risk (HR=2.14, 95% CI: 0.97–4.73, Pinteraction=0.06). Lower effect of smoking was only present among those not on HAART (HR=0.57, 95% CI: 0.35–0.92, P=0.02).Conclusion:
The inverse association of cigarette smoking on KS risk may be limited to those not on HAART. The biological mechanism of smoking in KS carcinogenesis should be elucidated. 相似文献4.

BackgroundNeoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) and surgery are widely used treatments for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Thus, it is critically important to investigate risk factors that affect patient prognosis after preoperative chemoradiotherapy and surgery.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of 77 patients with ESCC who received nCRT and underwent surgery at our center from January 2015 to December 2019. We analyzed the primary clinical data, postoperative pathological results, recurrence, and death results.ResultsAmong the 77 ESCC patients who received nCRT and surgery, 19 achieved a postoperative pathologic complete response (pCR), and the overall pCR rate was 24.68%. The univariate analysis indicated that postoperative post-neoadjuvant treatment N stage (ypN) metastasis [hazards ratio (HR): 2.908; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.874–9.676; P=0.082], a high lymph-node ratio [(LNR) >0.1] (HR: 7.149, 95% CI: 1.740–29.369; P=0.006), post-neoadjuvant treatment T3-4 (ypT3–4) (HR: 3.626, 95% CI: 0.824–15.956; P=0.088) affected disease-specific survival (DSS). The multivariate analysis indicated that a high LNR (>0.1) (HR: 6.170; 95% CI: 1.472–25.856; P=0.013) was a significant independent predictor of DSS. The univariate analysis indicated that postoperative ypN metastasis (HR: 2.283; 95% CI: 1.047–4.979; P=0.038) and a high LNR (>0.1) (HR: 4.210; 95% CI: 1.547–11.458; P=0.005) were associated with recurrence-free survival (RFS). The multivariate survival analysis showed that a high LNR (>0.1) (HR: 4.289; 95% CI: 1.538–11.965; P=0.005) was also a significant independent predictor of RFS. In this study, 57 positive lymph nodes were found in 30 of the 77 patients, including 16 left gastric lymph nodes, 9 pericardial lymph nodes, and 7 left supraclavicular lymph nodes.ConclusionsA high LNR (>0.1) in ESCC patients after nCRT is a risk factor of DSS and RFS. ypN metastasis is also an independent predictor of RFS. Left gastric-arterial lymph nodes, para-cardiac lymph nodes, and left supraclavicular lymph nodes are the most common sites of metastasis in ESCC after nCRT. 相似文献

The prognostic value of the tumor growth rate (TGR) in huge hepatocellular carcinoma (HHCC) patients treated with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) as an initial treatment remains unclear. This two-center retrospective study was conducted in 97 patients suffering from HHCC. Demographic characteristics, oncology characteristics, and some serological markers were collected for analysis. The TGR was significantly linear and associated with the risk of death when applied to restricted cubic splines. The optimal cut-off value of TGR was −8.6%/month, and patients were divided into two groups according to TGR. Kaplan–Meier analysis showed that the high-TGR group had a poorer prognosis. TGR (hazard ratio (HR), 2.06; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.23–3.43; p = 0.006), presence of portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) (HR, 1.93; 95% CI, 1.13–3.27; p = 0.016), and subsequent combination therapy (HR, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.35–0.99; p = 0.047) were independent predictors of OS in the multivariate analysis. The model with TGR was superior to the model without TGR in the DCA analysis. Patients who underwent subsequent combination therapy showed a longer survival in the high-TGR group. This study demonstrated that higher TGR was associated with a worse prognosis in patients with HHCC. These findings will distinguish patients who demand more personalized combination therapy and rigorous surveillance. 相似文献

FK506-binding protein-like (FKBPL) has established roles as an anti-tumor protein, with a therapeutic peptide based on this protein, ALM201, shortly entering phase I/II clinical trials. Here, we evaluated FKBPL''s prognostic ability in primary breast cancer tissue, represented on tissue microarrays (TMA) from 3277 women recruited into five independent retrospective studies, using immunohistochemistry (IHC). In a meta-analysis, FKBPL levels were a significant predictor of BCSS; low FKBPL levels indicated poorer breast cancer specific survival (BCSS) (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.30, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.14–1.49, p < 0.001). The prognostic impact of FKBPL remained significant after adjusting for other known prognostic factors (HR = 1.25, 95% CI 1.07–1.45, p = 0.004). For the sub-groups of 2365 estrogen receptor (ER) positive patients and 1649 tamoxifen treated patients, FKBPL was significantly associated with BCSS (HR = 1.34, 95% CI 1.13–1.58, p < 0.001, and HR = 1.25, 95% CI 1.04–1.49, p = 0.02, respectively). A univariate analysis revealed that FKBPL was also a significant predictor of relapse free interval (RFI) within the ER positive patient group, but it was only borderline significant within the smaller tamoxifen treated patient group (HR = 1.32 95% CI 1.05–1.65, p = 0.02 and HR = 1.23 95% CI 0.99–1.54, p = 0.06, respectively). The data suggests a role for FKBPL as a prognostic factor for BCSS, with the potential to be routinely evaluated within the clinic. 相似文献

Although it has been shown that polymorphisms in one-carbon metabolism (OCM) pathway are associated with gastric cancer (GC), their interactions and contributions for patients’ survival are elusive. In this study, we investigated the effects of polymorphisms and their interactions on the survival of GC patients, including genes of Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR 677C > T, 1298A > C), Methionine synthase reductase (MTRR 66A > G), Methionine synthase (MTR 2756A > G), and Thymidylate synthase (TS 3′-UTR ins6 > del6, 5′-UTR 2R > 3R). We recruited 919 GC patients from 1998 to 2006. The Kaplan–Meier plots, Cox regression analyses and the log-rank tests were carried out in this study. MTHFR 1298CC genotype showed protective effect (HR = 0.444, 95% CI = 0.210–0.940). MTRR 66 GA + GG genotypes decreased the risk of death (HR = 0.793, 95% CI = 0.651–0.967) in general, and in subgroups with more pronounced diffuse type, greater depth of invasion (T2/T3/T4), higher level lymph node metastasis (N1/N2/N3), advanced TNM stages (II/III level) and 5-Fu treatment. However, the improved survival disappeared when GC patients simultaneously had MTR 2756 GA + GG genotypes (HR = 1.063, 95% CI = 0.750–1.507). Although MTRR 66GA genotype was not associated with the survival of GC patients, patients with simultaneous MTRR 66GA and MTR 2756AA genotypes exhibited significant risk reduction of death (HR = 0.773, 95% CI = 0.609–0.981). MTHFR 1298 CA + CC combined with TS 5-UTR 2R3R + 3R3R genotypes (HR = 0.536, 95% CI = 0.315–0.913) also increased patient survival rates. Our results suggest that the MTRR 66A > G and MTHFR 1298A > C polymorphisms may be useful prognostic biomarkers for GC patients. 相似文献

Background: Dendritic cell vaccination (DCV) strategies, thanks to a complex immune response, may flare tumor regression and improve patients’ long-term survival. This meta-analysis aims to assess the efficacy of DCV for newly diagnosed glioblastoma patients in clinical trials. Methods: The study databases, including PubMed, Web of Knowledge, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Cochrane, were searched by two blinded investigators considering eligible studies based on the following keywords: “glioblastoma multiforme”, “dendritic cell”, “vaccination”, “immunotherapy”, “immune system”, “immune response”, “chemotherapy”, “recurrence”, and “temozolomide”. Among the 157 screened, only 15 articles were eligible for the final analysis. Results: Regimens including DCV showed no effect on 6-month progression-free survival (PFS, HR = 1.385, 95% CI: 0.822–2.335, p = 0.673) or on 6-month overall survival (OS, HR = 1.408, 95% CI: 0.882–2.248, p = 0.754). In contrast, DCV led to significantly longer 1-year OS (HR = 1.936, 95% CI: 1.396–2.85, p = 0.001) and longer 2-year OS (HR = 3.670, 95% CI: 2.291–5.879, p = 0.001) versus control groups. Hence, introducing DCV could lead to increased 1 and 2-year survival of patients by 1.9 and 3.6 times, respectively. Conclusion: Antitumor regimens including DCV can effectively improve mid-term survival in patients suffering glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), but its impact emerges only after one year from vaccination. These data indicate the need for more time to achieve an anti-GBM immune response and suggest additional therapeutics, such as checkpoint inhibitors, to empower an earlier DCV action in patients affected by a very poor prognosis. 相似文献

BackgroundEsophageal cancer is a highly aggressive, early metastasis gastrointestinal malignancy, with geographic differences in prognosis. It is unknown whether there are differences in the survival in different regions among esophageal cancer patients who underwent the treatments. This study was to explore the influencing factors of esophageal cancer survival in patients from China and the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database.MethodsThe retrospective cohort study were conducted with 605 Chinese esophageal cancer patients in the Wuxi People’s Hospital and 2,351 patients from the SEER database. The demographic and clinical data were collected from the two cohort, respectively. The outcome was the death during the follow-up. The follow-up ended on November 30, 2021. The Cox proportional hazards model was used in the univariate and multivariate survival analyses, with hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI).ResultsIn group one, the following were identified as the prognostic factors: female gender (HR =0.568; 95% CI: 0.398–0.811), T3 and T4 stages (HR =3.312; 95% CI: 2.493–4.401), N2 and N3 stages (HR =3.562; 95% CI: 2.631–4.824), and other subtypes of cancer (HR =0.393; 95% CI: 0.223–0.693). The following prognostic were factors identified in group two: age ≥65 years (HR =1.16; 95% CI: 1.058–1.276), female gender (HR =0.843; 95% CI: 0.752–0.945), T3 and T4 stages (HR =1.523; 95% CI: 1.373–1.690), M1 stage (HR =2.554; 95% CI: 2.303–2.832), treatment with surgery and chemotherapy (HR =0.507; 95% CI: 0.457–0.562), and other subtypes of cancer (HR =1.432; 95% CI: 1.298–1.581).ConclusionsThere may be some differences in prognostic factors between Chinese and American patients with esophageal cancer. It is indicated that different management strategies of esophageal cancer should be considered in different populations to improve the prognosis of patients. 相似文献

BackgroundApproximately 50% of newly diagnosed glioblastomas (GBMs) harbor epidermal growth factor receptor gene amplification (EGFR-amp). Preclinical and early-phase clinical data suggested efficacy of depatuxizumab mafodotin (depatux-m), an antibody–drug conjugate comprised of a monoclonal antibody that binds activated EGFR (overexpressed wild-type and EGFRvIII-mutant) linked to a microtubule-inhibitor toxin in EGFR-amp GBMs.MethodsIn this phase III trial, adults with centrally confirmed, EGFR-amp newly diagnosed GBM were randomized 1:1 to radiotherapy, temozolomide, and depatux-m/placebo. Corneal epitheliopathy was treated with a combination of protocol-specified prophylactic and supportive measures. There was 85% power to detect a hazard ratio (HR) ≤0.75 for overall survival (OS) at a 2.5% 1-sided significance level (ie traditional two-sided p ≤ 0.05) by log-rank testing.ResultsThere were 639 randomized patients (median age 60, range 22–84; 62% men). Prespecified interim analysis found no improvement in OS for depatux-m over placebo (median 18.9 vs. 18.7 months, HR 1.02, 95% CI 0.82–1.26, 1-sided p = 0.63). Progression-free survival was longer for depatux-m than placebo (median 8.0 vs. 6.3 months; HR 0.84, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.70–1.01, p = 0.029), particularly among those with EGFRvIII-mutant (median 8.3 vs. 5.9 months, HR 0.72, 95% CI 0.56–0.93, 1-sided p = 0.002) or MGMT unmethylated (HR 0.77, 95% CI 0.61–0.97; 1-sided p = 0.012) tumors but without an OS improvement. Corneal epitheliopathy occurred in 94% of depatux-m-treated patients (61% grade 3–4), causing 12% to discontinue.ConclusionsInterim analysis demonstrated no OS benefit for depatux-m in treating EGFR-amp newly diagnosed GBM. No new important safety risks were identified. 相似文献

BackgroundBoth neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) and adjuvant chemoradiotherapy (aCRT) have survival advantages over surgery alone in patients with adenocarcinoma of the oesophagogastric junction (AEG). However, whether there is a difference in the survival benefit between these two treatments and who can benefit from them remains controversial, and there are currently no randomised controlled trials to address these issues. This study compared the survival outcomes of patients with locally advanced AEG receiving nCRT and aCRT.MethodsThe data of patients with locally advanced AEG were collected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database (2004–2015). Patients in the nCRT and aCRT groups were propensity-score matched 1:1, and the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test were used for survival analysis between the two groups. Univariable and multivariable Cox regression models were performed to identify the prognostic factors.ResultsOf the 1,436 cases diagnosed as locally advanced AEG, we included 442 in the final analysis. The median overall survival (OS) of the nCRT and aCRT cohorts were 30.0 and 25.0 months, respectively (P=0.042), and the median tumour specific survival times were 37.0 and 31.0 months, respectively (P=0.249). Multivariable Cox regression analysis showed that OS was independently related to age [<60 years vs. ≥70 years, hazard ratio (HR) =0.619, 95% CI: 0.510–0.751, P<0.001; 60–69 years vs. ≥70 years, HR =0.661, 95% CI: 0.536–0.814, P<0.001] and N stage (N2 vs. N1, HR =1.213, 95% CI: 1.002–1.468, P=0.048; N3 vs. N1, HR =1.606, 95% CI: 1.190–2.167, P=0.002). Through stratifying patients by TNM stage, stage IIIB, and N1 stage, we observed that patients receiving nCRT had a better prognosis.ConclusionsPatients receiving nCRT had significantly better survival than those receiving aCRT. nCRT may offer some therapeutic benefits in patients with IIIB stage AEG. 相似文献

BackgroundNeoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy can provide downstaging and improve margin negativity for borderline resectable and resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma [(B)RPC]. Little is known about the relative efficacy of capecitabine (CAPE)-based vs. gemcitabine (GEM)-based 3-week chemoradiation (3WCRT) with 36 Gy in 15 fractions. This study aimed to compare the odds of achieving surgical resection, time to progression (TTP), and overall survival (OS) of patients treated with 3WCRT with concurrent CAPE versus GEM.MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted, examining medical records from a single center for patients with (B)RPC treated with 3WCRT between 1/2009–12/2020. Odd ratios (OR) of achieving surgical resection were estimated using logistic regression for univariable and multivariable analyses. Median TTP (mTTP) and median OS (mOS) were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Cox proportional hazards analysis was conducted to estimate hazard ratios (HR) of progression and survival in univariable and multivariable analyses.ResultsThirty-one patients were included in the analysis. Twenty-two (71%) patients were treated with CAPE, while 9 (29%) were treated with GEM. All patients in the GEM group were borderline resectable, vs. 18 (82%) patients in the CAPE group, P=0.30. Nineteen (86%) patients in the CAPE group were treated with neoadjuvant FOLFIRINOX, vs. 4 (44%) patients in the GEM group, P=0.03. The CAPE group had higher odds of achieving surgical resection [OR =9.33; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.50–58.20]. Adjusting for covariates, the odds of achieving surgical resection were still statistically higher in the CAPE group vs. the GEM group (OR =25.34; 95% CI: 1.14–563.72). The CAPE group had superior mTTP compared to the GEM group (15.4 months, 95% CI: 4.9–71.1 vs. 4.0 months, 95% CI: 0.4–14.5; P=0.01), corresponding to a hazard ratio of 0.33 (95% CI: 0.14–0.81). Adjusting for covariates this effect persisted; the adjusted hazard ratio (AHR) for progression was 0.24 (95% CI: 0.08–0.77). Cox proportional hazards analysis also demonstrated that the CAPE group had superior OS compared to the GEM group in unadjusted (HR =0.13; 95% CI: 0.04–0.40) and adjusted models (HR =0.13, 95% CI: 0.03–0.52).ConclusionsFor neoadjuvant 3WCRT, this hypothesis-generating study suggests concurrent CAPE may be a more effective radiosensitizer than GEM for patients with (B)RPC. 相似文献

Background: Herpes zoster (HZ) is strongly associated with decreased immune function, a factor of cancer development. Previous studies suggested inconsistent results regarding the association between HZ and increased cancer risk. We aimed to analyze the association between HZ and specific cancer risk. Methods: Of 134,454 patients diagnosed with HZ between 2002 and 2015, 81,993 HZ patients were matched 1:1 with non-HZ individuals by age, sex, and Charlson comorbidity index. Both groups were examined at 1, 3, and 5 years for cancer diagnosis. A Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to estimate cancer risk in both groups. The postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) and non-HZ groups were compared for specific cancer risk. Results: The HZ group showed a slightly decreased overall cancer risk compared with the non-HZ group (hazard ratio [HR] 0.94, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.90–0.97, p = 0.002). The HRs for specific cancer risk were 0.41 (95% CI, 0.33–0.50, p < 0.001); 0.86 (95% CI, 0.81–0.91, p < 0.001); 0.87 (95% CI, 0.78–0.97, p = 0.014); 0.80 (95% CI 0.73–0.87, p < 0.001); 1.20 (95% CI, 1.07–1.34, p = 0.001); and 1.66 (95% CI, 1.35–2.03, p < 0.001) for cancers of the lips, mouth, and pharynx; digestive system; respiratory system; unknown secondary and unspecified sites; thyroid and endocrine glands; and lymphoid and hematopoietic systems, respectively. The HZ with PHN group showed higher HR for specific cancer risk, such as lymphoid and hematopoietic systems (95% CI, 1.27–2.39, p < 0.001). Conclusion: HZ was associated with increased or decreased incidence of specific cancers. PHN further increased the risk of developing certain cancers in HZ patients. 相似文献

Magnesium is an essential element that is involved in critical metabolic pathways. A diet deficient in magnesium is associated with an increased risk of developing cancer. Few studies have reported whether a serum magnesium level below the reference range (RR) is associated with prognosis in patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Using a retrospective approach in DLBCL patients undergoing autologous stem cell transplant (AHSCT), we evaluated the association of hypomagnesemia with survival. Totally, 581 patients eligible for AHSCT with a serum magnesium level during the immediate pre-transplant period were identified and 14.1% (82/581) had hypomagnesemia. Hypomagnesemia was associated with an inferior event-free (EFS) and overall survival (OS) compared to patients with a serum magnesium level within RR; median EFS: 3.9 years (95% CI: 1.63–8.98 years) versus 6.29 years (95% CI: 4.73–8.95 years) with HR 1.63 (95% CI: 1.09–2.43, p = 0.017) for EFS, and median OS: 7.3 years (95% CI: 2.91—upper limit not estimable) versus 9.7 years (95% CI: 6.92–12.3 years) with HR 1.90 (95% CI: 1.22–2.96, p = 0.005) for OS months 0–12, respectively. These findings suggest a potentially actionable prognostic factor for patients with DLBCL undergoing AHSCT.Subject terms: B-cell lymphoma, B-cell lymphoma 相似文献

The tumor microenvironment is a well-recognized framework in which immune cells present in the tumor microenvironment promote or inhibit cancer formation and development. A crown-like structure (CLS) has been reported as a dying or dead adipocyte surrounded by a ‘crown’ of macrophages within adipose tissue, which is a histologic hallmark of the inflammatory process in this tissue. CLSs have also been found to be related to formation, progression and prognosis of some types of cancer. However, the presence of CLSs in the omentum of advanced-stage high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) has not been thoroughly investigated. By using CD68, a pan-macrophage marker, and CD163, an M2-like polarization macrophage marker, immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed to identify tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and CLSs. This retrospective study analyzed 116 patients with advanced-stage HGSOC who received complete treatment and had available clinical data from July 2008 through December 2016 at National Cheng Kung University Hospital (NCKUH) (Tainan, Taiwan). Based on multivariate Cox regression analysis, patients with omental CD68+ CLSs had poor OS (median survival: 24 vs. 38 months, p = 0.001, hazard ratio (HR): 2.26, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.41–3.61); patients with omental CD163+ CLSs also had poor OS (median survival: 22 vs. 36 months, HR: 2.14, 95%CI: 1.33–3.44, p = 0.002). Additionally, patients with omental CD68+ or CD163+ CLSs showed poor PFS (median survival: 11 vs. 15 months, HR: 2.28, 95%CI: 1.43–3.64, p = 0.001; median survival: 11 vs. 15 months, HR: 2.17, 95%CI: 1.35–3.47, respectively, p = 0.001). Conversely, the density of CD68+ or CD163+ TAMs in ovarian tumors was not associated with patient prognosis in advanced-stage HGSOC in our cohort. In conclusion, we, for the first time, demonstrate that the presence of omental CLSs is associated with poor prognosis in advanced-stage HGSOC. 相似文献

BackgroundAlthough surgical resection is the preferred curative-intent treatment option for patients with non-metastatic, extra-hepatic biliary cancer (EBC), radiotherapy (RT) or chemoradiotherapy (CRT) may be utilized in select cases when surgical resection is not feasible. The purpose of this study is to report the efficacy and adverse events (AEs) associated with CRT for patients with locally advanced and unresectable EBC.MethodsThis was a retrospective cohort study of patients with EBC, including extra-hepatic cholangiocarcinoma or gallbladder cancer, deemed inoperable who received RT between 1998 and 2018. The median RT dose was 50.4 Gy in 28 fractions and 94% received concurrent 5-fluorouracil. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) from the start of RT. The cumulative incidence of local progression (LP), locoregional progression (LRP), and distant metastasis (DM) were reported with death as a competing risk. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to assess for correlation between patient and treatment characteristics and outcomes.ResultsForty-eight patients were included for analysis. The median OS was 12.0 months [95% confidence interval (CI): 2.3–73.2 months]. The 2-, 3-, and 5-year OS were 33% (95% CI: 22–50%), 20% (95% CI: 11–36%), and 7% (95% CI: 2–20%), respectively. The 2-year PFS, LP, LRP, and DM were 21% (95% CI: 12–36%), 27% (95% CI: 17–44%), 31% (95% CI: 20–48%), and 33% (95% CI: 22–50%), respectively. On univariate analysis, biologically effective dose (BED) >59.5 Gy10 was associated with improved OS [hazard ratio (HR): 0.40, 95% CI: 0.18–0.92, P=0.03] and PFS (HR: 0.37, 95% CI: 0.16–0.84, P=0.02) and primary tumor size (per 1 cm increase) was associated with worsened PFS (HR: 1.29, 95% CI: 1.02–1.63, P=0.04). BED >59.5 Gy10 remained associated with PFS on multivariate analysis (HR: 0.34, 95% CI: 0.15–0.78, P=0.01). Treatment-related grade 3+ acute and late gastrointestinal AEs occurred in 13% and 17% of patients, respectively.ConclusionsRT is associated with 3- and 5-year survival in a subset of patients with unresectable EBC. Further exploration of the role of RT as part of a multi-modality curative treatment strategy is warranted. 相似文献

Purpose: To investigate safety, response, and survival after ablative glass microsphere 90Y radioembolization for unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.Materials and Methods: A retrospective review of 37 radioembolizations in 28 patients treated with single compartment dose of ≥190 Gy encompassing >75% of the largest tumor was performed. Tumors were assessed for stage, morphology, and arterial supply. Response per Modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST), freedom from progression (FFP), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), biochemical hepatic function, performance status, and adverse events were investigated.Results: The median highest dose per patient was 256.8 Gy (195.7–807.8). Objective response at 3 months was 94.1% (complete 44.1% and partial 50%). Median OS was not reached and the 30-month OS rate was 59%, with a median follow-up of 13.4 months (5.4–39.4). FFP in the radiated field and overall FFP at 30 months were 67% and 40%, respectively. Favorable arterial supply was associated with improved OS (p = 0.018). Unfavorable arterial supply was associated with worse OS [HR 5.7 (95% CI 1.1–28.9, p = 0.034)], and PFS [HR 5.9 (95% CI 1.9–18.4, p = 0.002)]. Patients with mass-forming tumors had a survival benefit (p = 0.002). Laboratory values and performance status did not significantly change 3 months after radioembolization. Grade 3 and 4 adverse events occurred in 2 (7.1%) patients.Conclusions: Radioembolization of unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma with ablative intent has a high response rate, promising survival, and is well tolerated. 相似文献

BackgroundSystemic inflammation markers have shown prognostic values with variability in rectal cancer. Considering the association of serum calcium with inflammation, we aimed to examine whether it could improve systemic inflammation markers for survival prediction.MethodsWe enrolled 508 patients with stage I to III rectal cancer who underwent curative resection. The cohort was grouped by corrected serum calcium (cCa), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and CaPLR (a score model combining cCa with PLR) for survival analysis. The LR (likelihood ratio) test and AIC (Akaike information criterion) were applied to compare models in survival prediction. The primary endpoint was disease-free survival (DFS).ResultsA total of 26.7% (136/508) patients reached recurrence after curative surgery. Both high cCa (HR 1.486; 95% CI, 1.018–2.171; P=0.040) and high PLR (HR 1.452; 95% CI, 1.059–1.991; P=0.021) were significantly associated with worse DFS. In model comparison, the AIC and LR were improved after cCa was added to PLR model in DFS prediction (AIC: 1,704.83 vs. 1,707.14 vs. 1,707.15; LR: 8.68 vs. 4.37 vs. 4.36; P=0.037). The CaPLR was developed for DFS prediction with adjusted HRs of 2.216 (95% CI, 1.256–3.909; P=0.006) and 1.679 (95% CI, 1.004–2.836; P=0.047) for high and intermediate score group respectively compared to low score group. A nomogram for predicting DFS was generated by using CaPLR and other clinical predictors, with a concordance index of 0.705 (95% CI, 0.620–0.789; P<0.001).ConclusionsSerum calcium could improve systemic inflammation markers in survival prediction for patients with rectal cancer. 相似文献

The management of COVID-19 in hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients represents a special challenge given the variable states of immune dysregulation and altered vaccine efficacy in this population. A systematic search (Ovid Medline and Embase on 1 June 2021) was needed to better understand the presenting features, prognostic factors, and treatment options. Of 897 records, 29 studies were identified in our search. Most studies reporting on adults and pediatric recipients described signs and symptoms that were typical of COVID-19. Overall, the mortality rates were high, with 21% of adults and 6% of pediatric HCT recipients succumbing to COVID-19. The factors reported to be associated with increased mortality included age (HR = 1.21, 95% CI 1.03–1.43, p = 0.02), ICU admission (HR = 4.42, 95% CI 2.25–8.65, p < 0.001 and HR = 2.26, 95% CI 1.22–4.20, p = 0.01 for allogeneic and autologous HCT recipients), and low platelet count (OR = 21.37, 95% CI 1.71–267.11, p = 0.01). Performance status was associated with decreased mortality (HR = 0.83, 95% CI 0.74–0.93, p = 0.001). A broad range of treatments was described, although no controlled studies were identified. The risk of bias, using the Newcastle–Ottawa scale, was low. Patients undergoing HCT are at a high risk of severe morbidity and mortality associated with COVID-19. Controlled studies investigating potential treatments are required to determine the efficacy and safety in this population. 相似文献

Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is associated with systemic inflammation and endothelial dysfunction, increasing risk for thromboembolic events (TEE). In 145 adult recipients who developed cGVHD after a matched sibling or umbilical cord blood donor HCT from 2010 to 2018, 32(22%) developed at least 1 TEE event, and 14(10%) developed 2 TEE events. The 5-year cumulative incidence of TEE was 22% (95% CI, 15–29%) with a median time from cGVHD to TEE of 234 days (range, 12–2050). Median time to the development of LE DVT or PE was 107 (range, 12–1925) compared to 450 days (range, 158–1300) for UE DVT. Cumulative incidence of TEE was 9% (95% CI, 0–20%), 17% (95% CI, 9–25%), and 38% (95% CI, 22–55%) in those with mild, moderate, and severe GVHD, respectively. Higher risk for TEE was associated with cGVHD severity (hazard ratio [HR] 4.9, [95% CI, 1.1–22.0]; p = 0.03), non-O-donor to recipient ABO match compared to O-donor to O-recipient match (HR 2.7, [95% CI, 1.0–7.5]; p = 0.053), and personal history of coronary artery disease (HR 2.4, [95% CI, 1.1–5.3]; p = 0.03). TEE was not associated with 2-year non-relapse mortality or 5-year overall survival.Subject terms: Medical research, Cancer 相似文献
