EGFR在晚期声门上型喉鳞癌组织中的表达及其临床意义

目的:研究表皮生长因子受体(epidermalgrowth factorreceptor,EGFR)在晚期声门上型喉鳞癌组织中的表达情况及其与临床各相关因素的关系,探讨EGFR能否作为判断晚期声门上喉鳞癌患者预后的预测性指标。方法:收集我院2004年1月~2008年4月共52例晚期(Ⅲ期、Ⅳ期)声门上型喉鳞癌患者手术后切除的肿瘤组织,应用免疫组化技术检测EGFR表达情况,运用统计学方法,结合临床资料分析其与肿瘤分期、淋巴结转移、病理分化程度、生存率及术后放疗对预后的影响等临床病理特征的关系。结果:EGFR在晚期声门上型喉鳞癌组织中存在阳性表达,阳性表达物质呈棕黄色,表达率为76.92%(40/52),其中过表达率为44.23%。EGFR的表达与晚期声门上型喉鳞癌患者的年龄、性别、吸烟无关,与浸润程度(P=0.005),淋巴结转移数目(P=0.018),TNM分期(P=0.003),病理分化程度(P=0.011)有关。单因素分析得出EGFR表达程度、T、N分期以及病理分化程度是影响无复发生存时间的危险因素(P0.05),T、N分期、病理分化程度是影响总生存时间的危险因素(P0.05)。多因素分析显示只有肿瘤浸润程度(T分期)和淋巴结转移(N分期)是影响无复发生存时间和总生存时间的独立预后因素。EGFR的阴性表达组与阳性表达组的3年、5年生存率不具有统计学差异(P0.05)。结论:EGFR在晚期声门上型喉鳞癌组织中存在过表达,证实了EGFR的过度表达与肿瘤的侵袭、转移相关,检测其表达水平对晚期喉癌的个体化治疗、靶向治疗有重要参考价值。但EGFR尚不能作为晚期声门上型喉鳞癌行手术及术后辅助放疗患者对无复发生存时间和总生存时间的预测指标。

Immunohistochemical method identifies lymphovascular invasion in a majority of oral squamous cell carcinomas and discriminates between blood and lymphatic vessel invasion.

Tumor invasion into blood and/or lymphatic channels is an important component of cancer staging and prognosis. Standard pathological methods do not provide sufficient contrast to discriminate between invasion into each type of vessel and are complicated by tissue retraction artifacts. We evaluated the ability of a triple-stain immunohistochemical method, combining cytokeratin, CD34, and podoplanin stains in a single section, to distinguish blood from lymphatic vascular invasion in oral squamous cell carcinoma and confirmed its results using multispectral analysis. The triple-stain method was significantly more sensitive in detecting invasive events than the standard hematoxylin and eosin staining method and easily discriminated between blood and lymphatic vessel invasion. Invasive events were present in blood and/or lymphatic vessels in the majority of patients with and without presentation of lymph node metastasis, indicating that vessel invasion in this cancer model is common and is not a rate-limiting step for lymph node metastasis.

Lymphatic vessel invasion detected by the endothelial lymphatic marker D2-40 (podoplanin) is predictive of regional lymph node status and an independent prognostic factor in patients with resected esophageal cancer

The discovery of markers to lymphatic endothelial cells and the development of novel antibodies to these markers have brought increasing attention to the lymphatics and progress in the understanding of lymphangiogenesis and cancer metastasis. In this study, we investigate the presence of lymphatic vessel invasion (LVI) detected by D2-40 immunohistochemical staining in resected esophageal cancer and correlated with clinicopathologic data and patient survival. Sixty nine patients, who had a primary resection of esophageal cancer, were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression, and univariate and multivariate survival analysis. The total rate of LVI was 72% (50/69). Positive LVI was significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis (p < 0.001), tumor size (p < 0.001), histological grading (p = 0.017), tumor depth (p = 0.001), and stage (p < 0.001). Multivariate logistic analysis identified LVI (p = 0.036) as a predictor of regional lymph node metastasis. On univariate survival analysis, patients with LVI had a significantly shorter disease-free survival, cancer-specific survival and overall survival. Multivariate analysis proved that LVI diagnosed by D2-40 is an independent prognostic factor of both disease-free survival (p = 0.04) and overall survival (p = 0.032) in resected esophageal cancer. These results show that LVI assessment identifies patients at high risk for regional lymph node metastasis and that LVI is an independent prognostic factor in patients with esophageal cancer.

Peritumoral lymphangiogenesis induced by vascular endothelial growth factor C and D promotes lymph node metastasis in breast cancer patients

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Mounting clinical and experimental data suggest that the migration of tumor cells into lymph nodes is greatly facilitated by lymphangiogenesis. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-C and D have been identified as lymphangiogenic growth factors and play an important role in tumor lymphangiogenesis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the location of lymphangiogenesis driven by tumor-derived VEGF-C/D in breast cancer, and to determine the role of intratumoral and peritumoral lymphatic vessel density (LVD) in lymphangiogenesis in breast cancer. METHODS: The expression levels of VEGF-C/D were determined by immunohistochemistry, and intratumoral LVD and peritumoral LVD were assessed using immunohistochemistry and the D2-40 antibody in 73 patients with primary breast cancer. The associations of intratumoral LVD and peritumoral LVD with VEGF-C/D expression, clinicopathological features and prognosis were assessed. RESULTS: VEGF-C and D expression were significantly higher in breast cancer than benign disease (P < 0.01). VEGF-C (P < 0.001) and VEGF-D (P = 0.005) expression were significantly associated with peritumoral LVD, but not intratumoral LVD. Intratumoral LVD was associated with tumor size (P = 0.01). Peritumoral LVD was significantly associated with lymph node metastasis (LNM; P = 0.005), lymphatic vessel invasion (LVI; P = 0.017) and late tumor,node,metastasis(TNM) stage (P = 0.011). Moreover, peritumoral LVD was an independent risk factor for axillary lymph node metastasis, overall survival and disease-free survival in multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that tumor-derived VEGF-C/D induce peritumoral lymphangiogenesis, which may be one mechanism that leads to lymphatic invasion and metastatic spread. Peritumoral LVD has potential as an independent prognostic factor in breast cancer patients.     

Patterns of initial recurrence and prognosis after sentinel lymph node biopsy and selective lymphadenectomy for melanoma

The histologic status of the sentinel lymph node is a highly significant prognostic factor for patients with clinically localized cutaneous melanoma. The patterns of initial treatment failure of patients with positive sentinel lymph node biopsy versus those with negative results have not been well described. The purpose of this study was to determine the relative prognostic importance of sentinel lymph node status and to compare patterns of initial treatment failure and prognosis of node-positive versus node-negative cutaneous melanoma patients staged by sentinel lymph node biopsy and selective lymphadenectomy. The authors reviewed the pertinent demographic and surgical data in a consecutive series of patients with cutaneous melanoma who underwent sentinel lymph node staging of nonpalpable regional nodes. Sentinel lymph node biopsy was performed using a combination of blue dye and radiolocalization. Patients with positive biopsy results underwent selective lymphadenectomy, whereas those with negative results were observed. Site(s) and date(s) of initial recurrence and death were determined, and disease-free and overall survival probabilities were compared between positive and negative groups using the log-rank test and multivariable Cox regression analysis. Between February of 1994 and August of 2000, 408 patients with melanoma underwent sentinel lymph node biopsy to stage 518 regional lymph node basins. Mean Breslow tumor thickness was 2.27 mm (range, 0.2 to 14.0 mm). Eighty-five patients (20.8 percent) had at least one histologically positive sentinel lymph node, and selective lymphadenectomy yielded additional positive lymph nodes in 18 of 84 patients (21.4 percent). Recurrences were noted in 70 patients (17 percent) at a median follow-up period of 31.4 months. Recurrences were more frequent in patients with positive biopsy results (36.5 percent) than in those with negative results (12.1 percent, p < 0.0001). Distant sites of initial recurrence were more likely in the positive group than in the negative group (71 percent versus 49 percent of recurrences, respectively; p = 0.06). The false-negative rate for sentinel lymph node staging was 4.5 percent and overall accuracy was 99 percent compared with clinical follow-up. Disease-free and overall survival correlated significantly with tumor thickness, ulceration, sentinel lymph node status, and the number of tumor-positive lymph nodes (two-sided p < 0.0001 for all comparisons). Multivariable analysis revealed that sentinel lymph node status (p = 0.003), tumor thickness (p = 0.016), ulceration (p = 0.006), and age (p = 0.003) were significant independent predictors of survival for the entire group. Tumor thickness and ulceration were significant predictors of recurrence and survival in sentinel node-negative patients but not in sentinel node-positive patients. Sentinel lymph node histology is possibly the most important negative predictor of early recurrence and survival in patients with American Joint Committee on Cancer stage I and II melanoma. The number of positive lymph nodes provides additional prognostic information. Although sentinel node-negative patients are a prognostically favorable group, various combinations of local and regional recurrences comprise the most common pattern of initial relapse after a negative sentinel lymph node biopsy result.

Analysis of Lymph Node Metastasis Correlation with Prognosis in Patients with T2 Gastric Cancer

Purpose

To investigate the correlated factors for lymph node metastasis and prognosis for patients with T2 gastric cancer.

Methods

A total of 442 patients with T2 gastric cancer who underwent gastrectomy from January 1996 to December 2009 were evaluated. The clinicopathological parameters were analyzed for lymph node metastasis and prognosis, including gender, age, tumor size, tumor location, histological type, depth of invasion, vascular tumor emboli, nervous invasion, resection type, and pathological stage.

Results

The rate of lymph node metastasis was 45.9%. Univariate analysis showed that depth of invasion, tumor size, and vascular tumor emboli were associated with lymph node metastasis. Logistic regression demonstrated that depth of invasion, tumor size, and vascular tumor emboli were independently predictive factors for lymph node metastasis. The 5-year survival rate was 64.0%. Multivariate analysis showed that tumor size, tumor location, resection type, and pathological stage were independent prognostic factors. Based on tumor size, there were significant differences of 5-year survival between small size tumor (<6 cm) and large size tumor (≥6 cm) according to stage IIA (P = 0.006). Based on tumor location, there were significant differences of 5-year survival among different tumor location according to stage IB. Based on resection type, there were significant differences of overall 5-year survival between curative surgery and palliative surgery according to stage IIB (P = 0.015) and IIIA (P = 0.001).

Conclusion

Depth of invasion, tumor size, and vascular tumor emboli were independently predictive factors for lymph node metastasis. Tumor size, tumor location, resection type, and pathological stage were independent prognostic factors.     

Clinical significance of peritumoral lymphatic vessel density and lymphatic vessel invasion detected by D2-40 immunostaining in FIGO Ib1-IIa squamous cell cervical cancer

The clinical significance of lymphangiogenesis in cervical cancer remains controversial. Our aim was to investigate the correlation between lymphangiogenesis, lymphatic vessel invasion (LVI) and tumor metastasis, invasion and prognosis in squamous cell cervical cancer. Paraffin sections of 90 patients with FIGO (Fédération Internationale de Gynécologie et d'Obstétrique) Ib1-IIa squamous cell cervical cancer were stained for immunohistochemistry with a D2-40 monoclonal antibody against the carcinoembryonic antigen M2A. The lymphatic vessel density (LVD) and LVI were measured, and their relationship with the clinicopathological data was analyzed. D2-40-positive lymphatic vessels were found in 75 of the 90 patients (83.3 %). All D2-40-positive vessels were located in peritumoral areas. The mean±SD of the peritumoral LVD was 10.08±4.16. The positive rate of LVI was 32.0 % (24/75). The recurrence rate of patients with LVD >10 (62.1 %, 18/29) was significantly higher than that of patients with LVD ≤10 (34.8 %, 16/46, P = 0.021). The 5-year recurrence-free survival rate of patients with LVD >10 (41.0 %) was significantly lower than that of patients with LVD ≤10 (67.0 %, P = 0.045). Univariate analysis showed that the peritumoral LVD (≤10 vs >10) was correlated with LVI (absent vs present, P = 0.016). The peritumoral LVD and LVI showed no correlation with age, FIGO stage, tumor size, tumor grade, depth of invasion, or pelvic lymph node metastasis (all: P > 0.05). Peritumoral lymphangiogenesis was correlated with the recurrence and recurrence-free survival in patients with squamous cell cervical cancer. Examination of peritumoral LVD in these patients might therefore help to estimate the risk of recurrence.
