Abstract Purpose To examine the predictive and prognostic value of preoperative Systemic Immune-inflammation Index (SII) in patients with radio-recurrent prostate cancer (PCa) treated with salvage radical prostatectomy (SRP). Materials and methods This multicenter retrospective study included 214 patients with radio-recurrent PCa, treated with SRP between 2007 and 2015. SII was measured preoperatively (neutrophils × platelets/lymphocytes) and the cohort was stratified using optimal cut-off. Uni- and multivariable logistic and Cox regression analyses were performed to evaluate the predictive and prognostic value of SII as a preoperative biomarker. Results A total of 81 patients had high preoperative SII (≥ 730). On multivariable logistic regression modeling, high SII was predictive for lymph node metastases (OR 3.32, 95% CI 1.45–7.90, p = 0.005), and non-organ confined disease (OR 2.55, 95% CI 1.33–4.97, p = 0.005). In preoperative regression analysis, high preoperative SII was an independent prognostic factor for cancer-specific survival (CSS; HR 10.7, 95% CI 1.12–103, p = 0.039) and overall survival (OS; HR 8.57, 95% CI 2.70–27.2, p < 0.001). Similarly, in postoperative multivariable models, SII was associated with worse CSS (HR 22.11, 95% CI 1.23–398.12, p = 0.036) and OS (HR 5.98, 95% CI 1.67–21.44, p = 0.006). Notably, the addition of SII to preoperative reference models improved the C-index for the prognosis of CSS (89.5 vs. 80.5) and OS (85.1 vs 77.1). Conclusions In radio-recurrent PCa patients, high SII was associated with adverse pathological features at SRP and survival after SRP. Preoperative SII could help identify patients who might benefit from novel imaging modalities, multimodal therapy or a closer posttreatment surveillance.

BackgroundPrevious studies have investigated the role of systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) as a prognostic factor for gastric cancer (GC) patients, although with inconsistent results. Thus, the aim of this study was to identify the prognostic value of SII in GC through meta-analysis.MethodsWe systematically searched the PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases for relevant studies investigating the prognostic role of SII in GC up to December 2019. The hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) related to overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were combined. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs were pooled to assess the correlation between SII and clinicopathological features of GC.ResultsA total of eight studies, comprising 4,236 patients, were included in this meta-analysis. Pooled analysis indicated that a high pretreatment SII predicted poor OS (HR=1.40, 95% CI=1.08–1.81, p=0.010) but not poor DFS (HR=1.30, 95% CI=0.92–1.83, p=0.140) in GC. In addition, an elevated SII correlated with an advanced tumor–node–metastasis stage (OR=2.34, 95% CI=1.40–3.92, p=0.001), T3–T4 stage (OR=2.25, 95% CI=1.34–3.77, p=0.002), positive lymph node metastasis (OR=1.79, 95% CI=1.12–2.87, p=0.016), and tumor size ≥ 5 cm (OR=2.28, 95% CI=1.62–3.22, p&lt;0.001) in patients with GC.ConclusionsA high pretreatment SII significantly associated with poorer survival outcomes as well as several clinical characteristics in GC. We suggest that SII could be monitored to guide prognostication and provide reliable information on the risk of disease progression in GC.

AIM: To investigate the role of tumor microenvironment (TME)-related long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) in uveal melanoma (UM), probable prognostic signature and potential small molecule drugs using bioinformatics analysis. METHODS: UM expression profile data were downloaded from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and bioinformatics methods were used to find prognostic lncRNAs related to UM immune cell infiltration. The gene expression profile data of 80 TCGA specimens were analyzed using the single sample Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (ssGSEA) method, and the immune cell infiltration of a single specimen was evaluated. Finally, the specimens were divided into high and low infiltration groups. The differential expression between the two groups was analyzed using the R package ‘edgeR’. Univariate, multivariate and Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) Cox regression analyses were performed to explore the prognostic value of TME-related lncRNAs. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) functional analyses were also performed. The Connectivity Map (CMap) data set was used to screen molecular drugs that may treat UM. RESULTS: A total of 2393 differentially expressed genes were identified and met the criteria for the low and high immune cell infiltration groups. Univariate Cox analysis of lncRNA genes with differential expression identified 186 genes associated with prognosis. Eight prognostic markers of TME-included lncRNA genes were established as potentially independent prognostic elements. Among 269 differentially expressed lncRNAs, 69 were up-regulated and 200 were down-regulated. Univariate Cox regression analysis of the risk indicators and clinical characteristics of the 8 lncRNA gene constructs showed that age, TNM stage, tumor base diameter, and low and high risk indices had significant prognostic value. We screened the potential small-molecule drugs for UM, including W-13, AH-6809 and Imatinib. CONCLUSION: The prognostic markers identified in this study are reliable biomarkers of UM. This study expands our current understanding of the role of TME-related lncRNAs in UM genesis, which may lay the foundations for future treatment of this disease.

Background. The aim of the study was to present the oncologic outcomes and to determine the prognostic factors of overall (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) as well as disease-progression-free survival (DPFS) after surgery for pT3b prostate cancer. Materials and methods. In 2002–2007, a pT3b stage after radical prostatectomy was detected in 56 patients. Patients were divided into groups according to the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level (20 ng/ml), lymph nodes status (N0 vs. Nx vs. N1) and the Gleason score (6–7 vs. 8–10). The Kaplan–Meier analysis was used to calculate OS, CSS and DPFS. The Cox regression was used to identify the predictive factors of survival. Results. Five-year OS, CSS and DPFS rates were 75.1%, 79.6% and 79.3%, respectively. The survival was significantly different when comparing the Gleason 6–7 and 8–10 groups. The 5-year OS, CSS and DPFS were 91.2% vs. 48.6%, 97.1% vs. 51.1% and 93.8 vs. 51.1%, respectively. There was no difference in survival among the groups with a different PSA level. The OS and CSS but not DPFS were significantly different when comparing the N0 and N1 groups. The 5-year OS and CSS was 84.4% vs. 37.5% and 87.3% vs. 47.6%, respectively. The specimen Gleason score was a significant predictor of OS and CSS. The risk of death increased up to 4-fold when a Gleason score 8–10 was present at the final pathology. Conclusions. Radical prostatectomy may offer acceptable CSS, DPFS and OS rates in pT3b PCa. However, outcomes in patients with N1 and specimen Gleason ≥8 were significantly worse, suggesting the need of multimodality treatment in such cases.

5071 Background: We assessed the expression of the glycoprotein SPARC (secreted protein, acidic, rich in cysteine) in patients with prostate cancer (PCa) treated with radical prostatectomy (RP) and studied its association with adverse clinico-pathological features at RP and long-term clinical outcomes, such as metastatic progression after surgery and cancer-specific death. Methods: Tissues from 78 patients with PCa were used to quantify SPARC expression using tissue microarray (TMA) and immunohistochemistry techniques (IHC). Anti-SPARC mouse monoclonal antibody were use to target the protein and for each patients 4 samples of tissue were used for cytoplasmic staining. Staining of each core was reviewed by an uropathologist who assigned a score (score 0-3) to each core and a global score also assigned to each patient (score 0-3). Analyses of the data relied in cross tables, T-test analyses, survival plots and Cox regression models. Results: Higher expression of SPARC protein was recorded in patients who develop metastases during follow-up after RP (p=0.025) and in patients who died of PCa after RP (p=0.002). Median follow-up of the cohort was 9.3 years after RP. At 5 years, 95.5%, 92.0% and 89.3% of patients were metastases-free for SPARC expression score 1, 2 and 3 respectively. For the same categories, 10 years after RP, 82.2%, 77.0% and 69.9% were metastases-free (Log-rank tests all p≤0.05). Similarly, patients with high SPARC expression had worse cancer-specific survival at 5 and 10 years after RP compared to those with low SPARC expression (Log-rank tests all p≤0.01 when score 1 was compared to score 2 or score 3). Finally, advanced stage at RP (T3-T4) [p=0.04] and high Gleason sum (8-10) [p=0.02] were also associated with higher expression of SPARC. Conclusions: High SPARC expression was associated with worse outcomes in men with prostate cancer treated with radical prostatectomy. Men who developed metastatic disease and men who succumbed to prostate cancer had higher levels of SPARC at radical prostatectomy than their counterpart. SPARC may have an important role in the progression of the disease and may eventually help clinician to better ascertain the risk of progression of the disease.

358 Background: To investigate the prognostic value of PD-1 and PD-L1 expression in patients with high-grade upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). Methods: Tissue microarrays were created using 448 patients from the International UTUC collaboration who underwent extirpative surgery for high-grade UTUC and stained for PD-1 (antibody (AB): NAT105, diluted 1:250 from Ventana) and PD-L1 (AB: E1L3N prediluted from Cell Signaling). PD-1 and PD-L1 expression was assessed in a semi-quantitative fashion and any percentage of staining of the tumor cells (PD-L1) and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (PD-1) was considered positive. Univariate (UVA) and multivariate analyses (MVA) were performed to assess independent prognosticators of oncological outcomes. No funding was received. Results: Median age of the cohort was 69.2 years and 56.5% of patients were male. PD-L1 and PD-1 were positive in 24.1% and 37.5% of patients. PD-L1 positivity was associated with favorable pathological stage, where as PD-1 positivity was significantly associated with pelvicalyceal location, lymph node metastases, non-organ confined disease, presence of lymphovascular invasion, sessile architecture, necrosis, concomitant CIS, and history of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. PD-L1 positivity was not significantly associated with survival outcomes. In Cox regression UVA, PD-1 positivity was associated with worse recurrence-free survival (RFS) (HR 1.5 (95%CI 1.08-2.14, p=0.016)), cancer-specific survival (CSS) (HR 1.5 (95%CI 1.07-2.19, p=0.021)), and overall survival (OS) (HR 1.5 (95%CI 1.10-1.97, p=0.009)). However in MVA, PD-1 positivity was not found to be an independent predictor of RFS, CSS or OS. Conclusions: PD-1 positivity of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes was associated with adverse pathological criteria and was a significant prognosticator for RFS, CSS and OS on UVA in patients treated with extirpative surgery for high-grade UTUC in a large, multi-institutional cohort. In MVA, the independent prognostic value of PD-1 was not confirmed. PD-L1 positivity was associated with lower tumor stage, but not with other pathological characteristics or survival outcomes.

591 Background: To investigate the prognostic value of the pretreatment inflammatory characteristics on treatment response and survival. Methods: We included 151 patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) Patients’ charts were retrospectively analyzed for their clinical, pathological and demographic features. Systemic immune inflammation index (SII) cut off is estimated with median value. Overall survival (OS) was estimated by Kaplan-Meier method for univariate analysis and Cox-regression for multivariate analysis. Results: In high SII group (SII > 844) overall survival is 11 months and in low SII group (SII < 844) overall survival is 22 months (p = 0,008). Median OS is lower in the hypercalcemic group (7 months vs.18 months, P = 0,013). In patients with anemia and thrombocytosis, OS is lower (41 months vs. 13 months p = 0,001 and 6 months vs. 18 months p = 0,01). In multivariate analysis, anemia, SII, and ECOG performance status were able to predict OS (HR = 2,69, HR = 2,04, HR = 2,57) Conclusions: In patients with mRCC, SII may have a prognostic value and higher score may related with decreased overall survival.

5511 Background: Germline BRCA1/2 (g BRCA1/2) mutations are associated with poor clinical outcomes in PC. Previous studies showed that g BRCA2 carriers present more CNV in several genes associated with more aggressive disease. These aberrations may explain the poor clinical outcomes of these patients, but larger studies are needed to confirm these findings. Methods: PROREPAIR-A is a multicenter case-control study in which g BRCA2 carriers with available diagnostic timor-tissue were matched 1:2 by Gleason and stage at diagnosis (M0 vs M1) with known non-carriers (NC). A minimum of 120 controls-60 cases were required to prove a 5yr Cause Specific Survival (CSS)-rate of 85% vs 60%. The primary endpoint was to confirm the independent prognostic value of g BRCA2 in PC CSS. In addition, we explored the prognostic role of g BRCA1 and somatic events in BRCA2, RB1, MYC, PTEN and TMPRSS2-ERG by FISH. Χ2, Kaplan-Meier, log-rank and cox-regression models were carried out to identify associations with baseline characteristics and outcomes: Metastases Free Survival (MFS), Time to Castration-Resistance (TTCR) and CSS. Results: A total of 80:160 matched cases-controls were initially included, but tumor tissue and clinical data were only available in 73 g BRCA2 and 127 NC. 14 g BRCA1 were also included. At diagnosis, g BRCA2 were younger (median 62.6 vs 64.5, p = 0.02) and had cT3-4 disease more often than NC (31.5% vs 9.4%, p < 0.01), but no other significant differences were found. Somatic BRCA2-RB1 codeletion (40.8% vs 11.8%, p < 0.01) and MYC amplification (51.4% vs 22.8%, p < 0.01) were more frequent in g BRCA2 compared to NC, but no significant differences in PTEN and TMPRSS2-ERG were observed. g BRCA2 mutations as well as somatic BRCA2-RB1 codel and MYC amplif were significantly associated with shorter CSS, MFS and TTCR (Table). MVA model confirmed the independent prognostic value of g BRCA2 (HR 1.94, p = 0.03), BRCA2-RB1 codel (HR 3.16, p < 0.01), MYC amplif (HR 2.36, p < 0.01), Gleason ≥8 (p < 0.01) and M1 at diagnosis (p < 0.01) for CSS. Conclusions: PROREPAIR-A confirmed the independent prognostic value of g BRCA2 for CSS. Somatic BRCA2, RB1 and MYC aberrations were more frequent in g BRCA2 carriers. Those alterations are associated with shorter CSS, MFS and TTCR, and may contribute to poor clinical outcomes in g BRCA2 and NC. [Table: see text]
