Abstract Background The aim of this study was to explore the prognostic factors and establish a nomogram to predict the long-term survival of gastric cancer patients. Methods The clinicopathological data of 421 gastric cancer patients, who were treated with radical D2 lymphadenectomy by the same surgical team between January 2009 and March 2017, were collected. The analysis of long-term survival was performed using Cox regression analysis. Based on the multivariate analysis results, a prognostic nomogram was formulated to predict the 5-year survival rate probability. Results In the present study, the total overall 3-year and 5-year survival rates were 58.7 and 45.8%, respectively. The results of the univariate Cox regression analysis revealed that tumor staging, tumor location, Borrmann type, the number of lymph nodes dissected, the number of lymph node metastases, positive lymph nodes ratio, lymphocyte count, serum albumin, CEA, CA153, CA199, BMI, tumor size, nerve invasion, and vascular invasion were prognostic factors for gastric cancer (all, P < 0.05). However, merely tumor staging, tumor location, positive lymph node ratio, CA199, BMI, tumor size, nerve invasion, and vascular invasion were independent risk factors, based on the results of the multivariate Cox regression analysis (all, P < 0.05). The nomogram based on eight independent prognostic factors revealed a well-degree of differentiation with a concordance index of 0.76 (95% CI: 0.72–0.79, P < 0.001), which was better than the AJCC-7 staging system (concordance index = 0.68). Conclusion The present study established a nomogram based on eight independent prognostic factors to predict long-term survival in gastric cancer patients. The nomogram would be beneficial for more accurately predicting the prognosis of gastric cancer, and provide important basis for making individualized treatment plans following surgery.

Osteosarcoma often occurs in children and adolescents and causes poor prognosis. The role of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) in malignant tumors has been elucidated in recent years. Our study aims to identify key RBPs in osteosarcoma that could be prognostic factors and treatment targets. GSE33382 dataset was downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. RBPs extraction and differential expression analysis was performed. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis were performed to explore the biological function of differential expression RBPs. Moreover, we constructed Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and obtained key modules. Key RBPs were identified by univariate Cox regression analysis and multiple stepwise Cox regression analysis combined with the clinical information from Therapeutically Applicable Research to Generate Effective Treatments (TARGET) database. Risk score model was generated and validated by GSE16091 dataset. A total of 38 differential expression RBPs was identified. Go and KEGG results indicated these RBPs were significantly involved in ribosome biogenesis and mRNA surveillance pathway. COX regression analysis showed DDX24, DDX21, WARS and IGF2BP2 could be prognostic factors in osteosarcoma. Spearman’s correlation analysis suggested that WARS might be important in osteosarcoma immune infiltration. In conclusion, DDX24, DDX21, WARS and IGF2BP2 might play key role in osteosarcoma, which could be therapuetic targets for osteosarcoma treatment.

Background: Lysyl oxidase (LOX) is a key enzyme for the cross-linking of collagen and elastin in the extracellular matrix. This study evaluated the prognostic role of LOX in gastric cancer (GC) by analyzing the data of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) dataset.Methods: The Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used to calculate the expression difference of LOX gene in gastric cancer and normal tissues. Western blot and immunohistochemical staining were used to evaluate the expression level of LOX protein in gastric cancer. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to calculate the survival difference between the high expression group and the low expression group in gastric cancer. The relationship between statistical clinicopathological characteristics and LOX gene expression was analyzed by Wilcoxon or Kruskal-Wallis test and logistic regression. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to find independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of GC patients. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was used to screen the possible mechanisms of LOX and GC. The CIBERSORT calculation method was used to evaluate the distribution of tumor-infiltrating immune cell (TIC) abundance.Results: LOX is highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues and is significantly related to poor overall survival. Wilcoxon or Kruskal-Wallis test and Logistic regression analysis showed, LOX overexpression is significantly correlated with T-stage progression in gastric cancer. Multivariate Cox regression analysis on TCGA and GEO data found that LOX (all p &lt; 0.05) is an independent factor for poor GC prognosis. GSEA showed that high LOX expression is related to ECM receptor interaction, cancer, Hedgehog, TGF-beta, JAK-STAT, MAPK, Wnt, and mTOR signaling pathways. The expression level of LOX affects the immune activity of the tumor microenvironment in gastric cancer.Conclusion: High expression of LOX is a potential molecular indicator for poor prognosis of gastric cancer.

Objective: Programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) are key players in host immune evasion and oncogenic activation, respectively. Evidence of the prognostic role in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is conflicting. This study examined the associations of PD-L1 and mTOR expression with 5-year overall survival in OSCC patients. Material and Methods: The expressions of PD-L1 and mTOR proteins were immunohistochemically evaluated on tissue microarrays of 191 patients with OSCC who were treated by surgery at Songklanagarind Hospital, Thailand from 2008 to 2011. Cox regression analysis was used to determine independent prognostic factors. Results: PD-L1 expression was observed in 14.1% of cases while mTOR expression was present in 74.3% of cases. Females were more likely to have tumors with PD-L1 (p-value=0.007) and mTOR expressions (p-value=0.003) than males. In addition, lower clinical stage and well differentiated tumor are more likely to have mTOR expression (p-value= 0.038 and p-value<0.001, respectively). Cox regression analysis showed that age, tumor stage, nodal stage, combined surgical treatment with radiation or chemoradiation therapy, surgical margin status, PD-L1 expression and mTOR expression are independent prognostic factors. High PD-L1 expression (hazard ratio (HR) 3.14, 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.26–7.79) and high mTOR expression (HR 1.69, 95% CI, 1.00–2.84) are strong predictors of poor outcome. Conclusion: A proportion of OSCC expressed PD-L1 and mTOR proteins. Expression of PD-L1 and mTOR proteins are strong prognostic factors of OSCC.

Abstract Background: Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant bone tumor. The current study was conducted to describe the general condition of patients with primary osteosarcoma in a single cancer center in Tianjin, China and to investigate the associated factors in osteosarcoma patients with lung metastasis. Methods: From February 2009 to October 2020, patients from Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital, China were retrospectively analyzed. The Kaplan–Meier method was used to evaluate the overall survival of osteosarcoma patients. Prognostic factors of patients with osteosarcoma were identified by the Cox proportional hazard regression analysis. Risk factor of lung metastasis in osteosarcoma were investigated by the logistic regression model. Results: A total of 203 patients were involved and 150 patients were successfully followed up for survival status. The 5-year survival rate of osteo-sarcoma patients was 70.0%. Surgery, bone and lung metastasis were the significant prognostic factors in multivariable Cox regression analysis. Twenty-one (10.3%) patients showed lung metastasis at the diagnosis of osteosarcoma and 67 (33%) lung metastases during the later course. T3 stage (OR=11.415, 95%CI 1.362-95.677, P=0.025) and synchronous bone metastasis (OR=6.437, 95%CI 1.69-24.51, P=0.006) were risk factors of synchronous lung metastasis occurrence. Good necrosis (≥90%, OR=0.097, 95%CI 0.028-0.332, P=0.000) and elevated Ki-67 (≥50%, OR=4.529, 95%CI 1.241-16.524, P=0.022) were proved to be significantly associated with metachronous lung metastasis occurrence. Conclusion: The overall survival, prognostic factors and risk factors for lung metastasis in this single center provided insight about osteosarcoma management.

56 Background: Anti-angiogenic strategy in gastric cancer (GC) has been highlighted again due to the recent success of ramucirumab and apatinib. Therefore, the comprehensive network of VEGF, soluble VEGF receptor-2 (sVEGFR2) and cytokines and other angiogenic factors (CAF) in GC and their prognostic impact would be of importance, although they have been poorly understood. We aimed to find out the CAF signature associated with VEGF and sVEGFR2, and to explore their prognostic implication in GC. Methods: We measured pretreatment serum levels of 52 CAFs, including VEGF and sVEGFR2, using multiplex bead immunoassays and ELISA, in 70 patients who were diagnosed with GC in Seoul National University Hospital, and treated with palliative chemotherapy. Linear regression analysis for correlating CAFs with VEGF and sVEGFR2, and survival analysis by log rank test and Cox regression analysis were performed. Results: The VEGF signature was shown to be associated with seven CAFs (interluekin [IL]-7, IL-12p70, IL-2Ra, IL-10, stem cell factor, Fibroblast growth factor-basic, IL-3). The sVEGFR2 signature was associated with IL-4 and platelet-derived growth factor beta, but VEGF and sVEGFR2 showed no association with each other. Patients with high VEGF had a tendency to have worse overall survival (OS) than those with low VEGF (11.2 months versus 16.7 months; P = 0.061). However, among patients with high-sVEGFR2, OS was not different according to VEGF (12.1 months, high-VEGF versus 15.1 months, low-VEGF; P = 0.546). Interestingly, the poor prognostic impact of high-VEGF was far significant in patients with low-sVEGFR2 (10.9 months versus 16.8 months; P = 0.036). With this perspective, VEGF/sVEGFR2 ratio was significantly correlated with worse OS in univariate as well as multivariate analysis (HR 1.78 [95% CI 1.08-2.94], P= 0.024). Conclusions: Based on the comprehensive network analysis of CAF, VEGF and sVEGFR2 had distinct CAF signatures in GC. Consideration of both VEGF and sVEGFR2 confers more accurate prognostic implication compared with VEGF alone in GC. Regarding the angiogenic aspect, VEGF/sVEGFR2 ratio is significantly correlated with survival outcome in GC.

Abstract Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common cancers with one of the highest mortality rates. Unfortunately, underlying molecular mechanisms contributing to GC have not been fully illuminated. PABPC1 is involved in a series of processes, such as mRNA translation, and mRNA deadenylation and decay. We performed this study to clarify the role of PABPC1 in GC. Methods: To evaluate PABPC1 expressions in GC and normal tissues, we performed bioinformatics analysis of data from TCGA. PABPC1 expressions were evaluated by immunohistochemical (IHC) staining of 170 GC specimens. Associations between PABPC1 expression and clinicopathological variables were analyzed. Independent predictive factors for survival of GC patients were determined by Cox regression analysis. Results: It was revealed by bioinformatics analysis that compared with normal gastric tissues, PABPC1 expressions in GC tissues were significantly higher (P=0.002, paired) (P=3.605e^-9, unpaired). It was revealed that PABPC1 expression was significantly associated with tumor size (P=0.008), Borrmann classification (P=0.003), vessel invasion (P=0.017), depth of invasion (P=0.032), lymph node metastasis (P=0.001), and TNM stage (P=0.019). It was demonstrated through Cox regression analysis that PABPC1 expression was a predictive factor for both overall survival (OS) (P<0.001) and disease-free survival (DFS) (P<0.001) of GC patients. Conclusions: Compared with that of normal gastric tissue, expression level of PABPC1 in GC tissue was significantly higher and PABPC1,s high expression was significantly associated with poorer survival, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic biomarker for GC.

Abstract Background Stromal cells in tumor microenvironment could promote immune escape through a variety of mechanisms, but there are lacking research in the field of gastric cancer (GC). Methods We identified differential expressed immune-related genes (DEIRGs) between the high- and low-stromal cell abundance GC samples in The Cancer Genome Atlas and GSE84437 datasets. A risk score was constructed basing on univariate cox regression analysis, LASSO regression analysis, and multivariate cox regression analysis in the training cohort (n=772). The median value of the risk score was used to classify patients into groups with high and low risk. We conducted external validation of the prognostic signature in four independent cohorts (GSE26253, n=432; GSE62254, n=300; GSE15459, n=191; GSE26901, n=109) from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The immune cell infiltration was quantified by the CIBERSORT method. Results The risk score contained 6 genes (AKT3, APOD, FAM19A5, LTBP3, NOV, and NOX4) showed good performance in predicting 5-year overall survival (OS) rate and 5-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) rate of GC patients. The risk death and recurrence of GC patients growing with the increasing risk score. The patients were clustered into three subtypes according to the infiltration of 22 kinds of immune cells quantified by the CIBERSORT method. The proportion of cluster A with the worst prognosis in the high-risk group was significantly higher than that in the low-risk group; the risk score of cluster C subtype with the best prognosis was significantly lower than that of the other two subtypes. Conclusion This study established and validated a robust prognostic model for gastric cancer by integrated analysis 1804 samples of six centers, and its mechanism was explored in combination with immune cell infiltration characterization.

29 Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of early gastric cancer (EGC) in comparison to advanced tumors and its role in patient's prognosis. Methods: This study was related to 1,272 patients admitted with gastric or gastroesophageal junction carcinoma in our department, between January 1988 and December 2008. During this period the incidence of EGC was 12.68% (3.62% T0, 42.75% T1a and 53.62% T1b). Several clinical, pathological and staging parameters were evaluated according to classification in EGC and advanced tumors. Results: Significant differences were observed in location (p<0.001); type of resection surgery (p<0.001) and of lymphadenectomy (p=0.008 for Siewert and p<0.001 for Japanese classifications) with less radical surgery in EGC patients. This type of tumors presented characteristics associated with a better prognosis in the following pathological parameters: tumor dimensions (p<0.001), macroscopic form (p<0.001), Ming's classification (p<0.001), venous invasion (p<0.001) and lymphatic permeation (p<0.001). The 5-year survival rate of this series was 33.7%. There were significant differences in survival curves according to classification in EGC and advanced tumors (73% at 5 years and 26% at 5 years, respectively). Cox-regression analysis identified age, T and lymph node ratio as independent prognostic factors. There was no significant differences in age (cut-off 45 years), but there was significant differences in lymph node metastasis (p<0.001). In 23.87% of EGC there was lymph node involvement, with significant differences (p=0.002) according to the depth wall invasion [T0 (100% N0), T1a (91.5% N0, 8.5% N1), T1b (60.8% N0, 21.6% N1, 13.5% N2, 4.1% N3a)]. Conclusions: The EGC percentage in our series was lower in comparison with other countries with high incidence of gastric cancer. The prognosis of the patients with gastric carcinoma continues to be gloomy mainly due to the late diagnosis and, given that the surgical treatment doesn't seem plausible of achieving a margin of significant additional progression, the need for an early diagnosis emerges if an improvement in patient survival is desired. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Inflammatory State

Objective: Chemoradiation (CRT) may induce a change in systemic inflammatory state which could affect clinical outcomes in oesophageal cancer. We aimed to evaluate the changes and prognostic significance of systemic inflammatory markers following definitive CRT in oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Methods: A total of 53 patients treated with concurrent CRT were included in this retrospective analysis. We compared neutrophils, lymphocytes, platelets, neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet–lymphocyte ratio (PLR) before and after CRT using Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were calculated. Univariable and multivariable survival analysis were performed using Cox regression analysis. Clinical univariable survival prognostic factors with p < 0.1 were included in a multivariable cox regression analysis for backward stepwise model selection. Results: Both NLR (median ∆+2.8 [IQR −0.11, 8.62], p < 001) and PLR (median ∆+227 [81.3–523.5], p < 0.001) increased significantly after CRT. Higher levels of pre-CRT, post-CRT and change (∆) in NLR and PLR were associated with inferior OS and PFS. Post-CRT NLR (HR 1.04, 95% CI 1.02–1.07, p < 0.001), post-CRT platelets (HR 1.03, 95% CI 1.01–1.05, p = 0.005), cT-stage (HR 3.83, 95% CI 1.39–10.60, p = 0.01) and RT dose (HR 0.41, 95% CI 0.21–0.81, p = 0.01) were independent prognostic factors for OS in multivariable analysis. Change in NLR (HR 1.04, 95% CI 1.01–1.06, p = 0.001), post-CRT platelets (HR 1.03, 95% CI 1.01–1.05, p = 0.002), cT-stage (HR 3.98, 95% CI 1.55–10.25, p = 0.004) and RT dose (HR 0.41, 95% CI 0.21–0.80, p = 0.009) were independent prognostic factors for PFS. Conclusion: Both NLR and PLR increased following definitive CRT. Post-CRT NLR and ∆NLR were associated with adverse survival in oesophageal SCC. Advances in knowledge: We showed that CRT increased PLR and NLR, possibly reflecting a systemic inflammatory state which were associated with poor clinical outcomes in oesophageal SCC.
