Tumor Location and a Tumor Volume over 2.8 cc Predict the Prognosis for Japanese Localized Prostate Cancer

ABSTRACT:

Simple Summary

About 40% of men with localized prostate cancer experience biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy. The early detection of disease progression is important for optimal post-operative treatment and follow-up. Our study reviewed 557 patients with prostate cancer who underwent radical prostatectomy and found that a tumor volume over 2.8 cc was a novel independent predictive factor for biochemical recurrence. We further established a novel risk assessment model based on tumor volume and location (posterior and peripheral zone). We confirmed that the risk model could stratify patients’ prognoses. In addition to the previously reported biomarkers, these novel factors obtained from the surgical specimen may provide better prognostic information in patients with prostate cancer.

Abstract

(1) Objective: Our study investigated the prognostic value of tumor volume and location in prostate cancer patients who received radical prostatectomy (RP). (2) Methods: The prognostic significance of tumor volume and location, together with other clinical factors, was studied using 557 patients who received RP. (3) Results: The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve identified the optimal cutoff value of tumor volume as 2.8 cc for predicting biochemical recurrence (BCR). Cox regression analysis revealed that a tumor in the posterior area (p = 0.031), peripheral zone (p = 0.0472), and tumor volume ≥ 2.8 cc (p < 0.0001) were predictive factors in univariate analysis. After multivariate analysis, tumor volume ≥ 2.8 cc (p = 0.0225) was an independent predictive factor for BCR. Among them, a novel risk model was established using tumor volume and location in the posterior area and peripheral zone. The progression-free survival (PFS) of patients who met the three criteria (unfavorable group) was significantly worse than other groups (p ≤ 0.001). Furthermore, multivariate analysis showed that the unfavorable risk was an independent prognostic factor for BCR. The prognostic significance of our risk model was observed in low- to intermediate-risk patients, although it was not observed in high-risk patients. (4) Conclusion: Tumor volume (≥2.8 cc) and localization (posterior/peripheral zone) may be a novel prognostic factor in patients undergoing RP.

Project description:TP53 mutations are a poor prognostic factor in breast cancers. This study sets out to identify the gene set that determine expression signature of the TP53 status (TP53 signature) and to correlate it with clinical outcome. Using comprehensive expression analysis and DNA sequencing of the TP53 gene in 38 Japanese breast cancer patients, we have isolated a gene set of 33 genes from differentially expressed genes in the learning set (n=26), depending on the TP53 status. Predictive accuracy of TP53 status by gene expression profile was 83.3% in the test set (n=12). As independent external datasets, two published datasets were introduced for validation of TP53 status prediction (251 Swedish samples) and survival analysis (both the Swedish and 295 Dutch samples). TP53 signature has the ability to predict recurrence-free survival (RFS) of 29 stage I and II Japanese breast cancers (log rank, P = 0.032), and RFS, overall survival of two independently published datasets (log rank, both P < 0.0001). Multivariate analysis has shown an independent and significant prognostic factor with a hazard ratio (HR) for recurrence and survival in two external datasets (P < 0.0001). The TP53 signature is also a strong prognostic factor in the subgroups: estrogen-receptor positive, lymph node (LN) positive and negative, intermediate/high risk in St. Gallen criteria, and high risk in National Cancer Institute (NCI) criteria (log rank, P < 0.0001). TP53 signature is a reliable and independent predictor of the outcome of disease in operated breast cancer. Experiment Overall Design: Microarray hybridizations (Agilent: Whole Human Genome Oligo Microarray; 41k unique probe) were carried out with 1Î¼g Cy3 labeled cRNA and 1 Î¼g Cy5 labeled cRNA, both prepared from each sample and reference pool, respectively. Experiment Overall Design: Fluorescent intensities of scanned images were quantified by ArrayVision Ver.8 rev.4 (Imaging research). Experiment Overall Design: The gene expression data was quantified and analyzed by GeneSpring 6.2 (Silicon Genetics). To identify the TP53 status predictor gene set, a Wilcoxon rank sum test along with Benjamini and Hochberg false discovery rate (FDR) was used.
