Survival Benefit of Exercise Differs by Tumor IRS1 Expression Status in Colorectal Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

High-level physical activity is associated with lower colorectal cancer (CRC) mortality, likely through insulin sensitization. Insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1) is a mediator of insulin and insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling pathways, and its down-regulation is associated with insulin resistance. Therefore, we hypothesized that tumor IRS1 expression status might modify cellular sensitivity to insulin and IGF, and the prognostic association of physical activity.

Methods

We assessed IRS1 expression level in 371 stage I-III rectal and colon cancers in the Nurses' Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study by immunohistochemistry. In survival analysis, Cox proportional hazards model was used to assess an interaction between post-diagnosis physical activity (ordinal scale of sex-specific quartiles Q1 to Q4) and IRS1 expression (ordinal scale of negative, low, and high), controlling for potential confounders, including microsatellite instability, CpG island methylator phenotype, long interspersed nucleotide element-1 (LINE-1) methylation level, and KRAS, BRAF, and PIK3CA mutation status.

Results

There was a statistically significant interaction between post-diagnosis physical activity and tumor IRS1 expression in CRC-specific mortality analysis (P interaction = 0.005). Multivariable hazard ratio (95% confidence interval) for higher post-diagnosis physical activity (Q3-Q4 vs. Q1-Q2) was 0.15 (0.02-1.38) in the IRS1-negative group, 0.45 (0.19-1.03) in the IRS1-low group, and 1.32 (0.50-3.53) in the IRS1-high group.

Conclusions

The association of post-diagnosis physical activity with colorectal carcinoma patient survival may differ by tumor IRS1 expression level. If validated, tumor IRS1 expression status may serve as a predictive marker to identify subgroups of patients who might gain greater survival benefit from an increased level of exercise.

Project description:Importance:Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) represent the liquid component of solid tumors and are a surrogate marker for residual cancer burden. Although CTC status is prognostic of recurrence and death in breast cancer, its role in guiding clinical management remains unknown. Objective:To determine whether CTC status is predictive of radiotherapeutic benefit in early-stage breast cancer. Design, Setting, and Participants:The cohort studies in the present analysis included patients with stages pT1 to pT2 and pN0 to pN1 breast cancer and known CTC status from the National Cancer Database (NCDB) and the multicenter phase 3 SUCCESS clinical trial. Multivariable parametric accelerated failure time models were used to evaluate the association of CTC status and radiotherapy (RT) with survival outcomes. Data were collected from January 1, 2004, through December 31, 2014, from the NCDB cohort. The SUCCESS trial collected data from September 1, 2005, through September 30, 2013. The analyses were completed from November 1, 2016, through December 17, 2017. Exposure:Adjuvant RT. Main Outcomes and Measures:Overall survival (OS), local recurrence-free survival (LRFS), and disease-free survival (DFS). Results:A total of 1697 patients from the NCDB (16 men [0.9%] and 1681 women [99.1%]; median age, 63 years; interquartile range, 53-71 years) and 1516 patients from the SUCCESS clinical trial (median age, 52 years; interquartile range, 45-60 years) were identified. Circulating tumor cells were detected in 399 patients (23.5%) in the NCDB cohort and 294 (19.4%) in the SUCCESS cohort. The association of RT with survival was dependent on CTC status within the NCDB cohort (4-year OS, 94.9% for CTC-positive RT vs 88.0% for CTC-positive non-RT vs 93.9% for CTC-negative RT vs 93.4% for CTC-negative non-RT groups; P < .001) and 5-year DFS within the SUCCESS cohort (88.0% for CTC-positive RT vs 75.2% for CTC-positive non-RT vs 92.3% for CTC-negative RT vs 88.3% for CTC-negative non-RT; P = .04). In the NCDB cohort, RT was associated with longer OS in patients with CTCs (time ratio [TR], 2.04; 95% CI, 1.55-2.67; P < .001), but not in patients without CTCs (TR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.52-1.25; P = .33). In the SUCCESS cohort, CTC-positive patients treated with RT exhibited longer LRFS (TR, 2.73; 95% CI, 1.62-4.80; P < .001), DFS (TR, 3.03; 95% CI, 2.22-4.13; P < .001), and OS (TR, 1.83; 95% CI, 1.23-2.72; P = .003). Among patients from both cohorts who underwent breast-conserving surgery, RT was associated with longer OS in patients with CTCs (TR, 4.37; 95% CI, 2.71-7.05; P < .001) but not in patients without CTCs (TR, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.47-1.62; P = .77). Radiotherapy was not associated with OS after mastectomy in CTC-positive or CTC-negative patients. Conclusions and Relevance:Treatment with RT was associated with longer LRFS, DFS, and OS in patients with early-stage breast cancer and detectable CTCs. These results are hypothesis generating; a prospective trial evaluating CTC-based management for RT after breast-conserving surgery in women with early-stage breast cancer is warranted.
