The Impact

Purpose This study was conducted to determine the impact of potentially functional polymorphisms in the CASPASE (CASP) genes on the survival of early-stage non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Patients and Methods Four hundred eleven consecutive patients with surgically resected NSCLC were enrolled. Nine potentially functional polymorphisms in the CASP3, CASP7, CASP8, CASP9, and CASP10 genes were investigated. The genotype and haplotype associations with overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were analyzed. Results Patients with the rs2227310 GG genotype had a significantly decreased OS and DFS compared with patients with the CC + CG genotype (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] for OS, 1.67; 95% CI, 1.19 to 2.35; P = .003; aHR for DFS, 1.62; 95% CI, 1.19 to 2.22; P = .002). The rs4645981C>T genotype also had a significant effect on OS and DFS (under a recessive model; aHR for OS, 2.00; 95% CI, 1.04 to 3.85; P = .04; aHR for DFS, 2.76; 95% CI, 1.58 to 4.80; P = .0003). When the rs2227310 and rs4645981 genotypes were combined, patients with one or two bad genotypes had worse OS and DFS compared with those who had zero bad genotypes (aHR for OS, 1.75; 95% CI, 1.25 to 2.45; P = .001; aHR for DFS, 1.66; 95% CI, 1.23 to 2.26; P = .001). Conclusion The CASP7 rs2227310 and CASP9 rs4645981 polymorphisms may affect survival in early-stage NSCLC. The analysis of these polymorphisms can help identify patients at high risk for a poor disease outcome.

Surgical Methods

An active introduction of screening programs potentially leads to a significant increase in the proportion of patients with early forms of non-small cell lung cancer. Surgical treatment, which is the standard of care for localized forms, due to functional limitations can be performed only in 65-70% of patients. The solution to this problem can be found in the improvement of the results of radiotherapy by using modern equipment, the planning systems, improved fractionation schemes and introduction of methods for summing radiation doses. Stereotactic radiotherapy allows high-precision delivery of high radiation dose to tumor with a minimal damage to surrounding healthy tissues. In this literature review based on the analysis of a large number of publications we show that it is not yet possible to make valid conclusions about the effectiveness and safety of stereotactic radiation therapy as an alternative to the surgical methods. It is necessary to plan and conduct randomized trials without further delay taking into account the expected high relevance of the method.

Metabolic alterations in malignant cells play a vital role in tumor initiation, proliferation, and metastasis. Biofluids from patients with non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harbor metabolic biomarkers with potential clinical applications. In this study, we assessed the changes in the metabolic profile of patients with early-stage NSCLC using mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy before and after surgical resection. A single cohort of 35 patients provided a total of 29 and 32 pairs of urine and serum samples, respectively, pre-and post-surgery. We identified a profile of 48 metabolites that were significantly different pre- and post-surgery: 17 in urine and 31 in serum. A higher proportion of metabolites were upregulated than downregulated post-surgery (p < 0.01); however, the median fold change (FC) was higher for downregulated than upregulated metabolites (p < 0.05). Purines/pyrimidines and proteins had a larger dysregulation than other classes of metabolites (p < 0.05 for each class). Several of the dysregulated metabolites have been previously associated with cancer, including leucyl proline, asymmetric dimethylarginine, isopentenyladenine, fumaric acid (all downregulated post-surgery), as well as N6-methyladenosine and several deoxycholic acid moieties, which were upregulated post-surgery. This study establishes metabolomic analysis of biofluids as a path to non-invasive diagnostics, screening, and monitoring in NSCLC.
