Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes of Colorectal Cancer in the ColoCare Study: Differences by Age of Onset.

ABSTRACT: Early-onset colorectal cancer has been on the rise in Western populations. Here, we compare patient characteristics between those with early- (<50 years) vs. late-onset (≥50 years) disease in a large multinational cohort of colorectal cancer patients (n = 2193). We calculated descriptive statistics and assessed associations of clinicodemographic factors with age of onset using mutually-adjusted logistic regression models. Patients were on average 60 years old, with BMI of 29 kg/m², 52% colon cancers, 21% early-onset, and presented with stage II or III (60%) disease. Early-onset patients presented with more advanced disease (stages III-IV: 63% vs. 51%, respectively), and received more neo and adjuvant treatment compared to late-onset patients, after controlling for stage (odds ratio (OR) (95% confidence interval (CI)) = 2.30 (1.82-3.83) and 2.00 (1.43-2.81), respectively). Early-onset rectal cancer patients across all stages more commonly received neoadjuvant treatment, even when not indicated as the standard of care, e.g., during stage I disease. The odds of early-onset disease were higher among never smokers and lower among overweight patients (1.55 (1.21-1.98) and 0.56 (0.41-0.76), respectively). Patients with early-onset colorectal cancer were more likely to be diagnosed with advanced stage disease, to have received systemic treatments regardless of stage at diagnosis, and were less likely to be ever smokers or overweight.

Project description:BackgroundMetabolic and transcriptomic differences between visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) compartments, particularly in the context of obesity, may play a role in colorectal carcinogenesis. We investigated the differential functions of their metabolic compositions.ObjectivesBiochemical differences between adipose tissues (VAT compared with SAT) in patients with colorectal carcinoma (CRC) were investigated by using mass spectrometry metabolomics and gene expression profiling. Metabolite compositions were compared between VAT, SAT, and serum metabolites. The relation between patients' tumor stage and metabolic profiles was assessed.DesignPresurgery blood and paired VAT and SAT samples during tumor surgery were obtained from 59 CRC patients (tumor stages I-IV) of the ColoCare cohort. Gas chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry were used to measure 1065 metabolites in adipose tissue (333 identified compounds) and 1810 metabolites in serum (467 identified compounds). Adipose tissue gene expression was measured by using Illumina's HumanHT-12 Expression BeadChips.ResultsCompared with SAT, VAT displayed elevated markers of inflammatory lipid metabolism, free arachidonic acid, phospholipases (PLA2G10), and prostaglandin synthesis-related enzymes (PTGD/PTGS2S). Plasmalogen concentrations were lower in VAT than in SAT, which was supported by lower gene expression of FAR1, the rate-limiting enzyme for ether-lipid synthesis in VAT. Serum sphingomyelin concentrations were inversely correlated (P = 0.0001) with SAT adipose triglycerides. Logistic regression identified lipids in patients' adipose tissues, which were associated with CRC tumor stage.ConclusionsAs one of the first studies, we comprehensively assessed differences in metabolic, lipidomic, and transcriptomic profiles between paired human VAT and SAT and their association with CRC tumor stage. We identified markers of inflammation in VAT, which supports prior evidence regarding the role of visceral adiposity and cancer.

Project description:ObjectiveNeuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is an inflammatory disease preferentially affects the optic nerve and the spinal cord. The first attack usually occurs in the third or fourth decade, though patients with disease onset in the fifties or later are not uncommon. This study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis in patients with different age of onset and to explore the correlations between age of onset and clinical characteristics and prognostic outcomes.MethodWe retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 298 NMOSD patients diagnosed according to the 2015 updated version of diagnostic criteria. Patients were divided into early-onset NMOSD (EO-NMOSD) (<50 years at disease onset) and late-onset NMOSD (LO-NMOSD) (≥50 years at disease onset) based on the age of disease onset. LO-NMOSD patients were divided into two subgroups: relative-late-onset NMOSD (RLO-NMOSD) (50~70 years at disease onset) and very-late-onset NMOSD (≥70 years at disease onset). Clinical characteristics, laboratory findings, neuroimaging features, and prognostic outcomes were investigated.ResultsCompared to EO-NMOSD patients, patients with LO-NMOSD showed more frequent transverse myelitis (TM) (58.20% vs. 36.00%, p = 0.007) while less frequent optic neuritis (ON) (23.10% vs. 34.80%, p = 0.031) and brainstem/cerebral attacks (7.50% vs. 18.30%, p = 0.006) as the first attack. Patients with LO-NMOSD showed less frequent relapses, higher Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score at the last follow-up, fewer NMOSD-typical brain lesions, and longer segments of spinal cord lesions. Patients with older onset age showed a higher proportion of increased protein levels in cerebrospinal fluid during the acute phase of attacks. Age at disease onset positively correlated with length of spinal cord lesions at first attack and at last follow-up, negatively correlated with ARR-1 (ARR excluding the first attack, calculated from disease onset to final follow-up), irrespective of AQP4-IgG serostatus. Patients with older age at disease onset progressed to severe motor disability sooner, and age of onset positively correlated with EDSS score at the last follow-up, irrespective of AQP4-IgG serostatus.ConclusionAge of disease onset affects clinical characteristics and prognosis outcomes of patients with NMOSD.
