Abstract Background Clinical options for lung squamous carcinoma (LUSC) are still quite limited. Carcinogenesis is an exceedingly complicated process involving multi-level dysregulations. Therefore, only looking into one layer of genomic dysregulation is far from sufficient. Methods We identified differentially expressed genes with consistent upstream genetic or epigenetic dysregulations in LUSC. Random walk was adopted to identify genes significantly affected by upstream abnormalities. Expression differentiation and survival analysis were conducted for these significant genes, respectively. Prognostic power of selected gene was also tested in 102 male LUSC samples through immunohistochemistry assay. Results Twelve genes were successfully retrieved from biological network, including ERα (ESRS1), EGFR, AR, ATXN1, MAPK3, PRKACA, PRKCA, SMAD4, TP53, TRAF2, UBQLN4 and YWHAG, which were closely related to sex hormone signaling pathway. Survival analysis in public datasets indicated ERα was significantly associated with a poor overall survival (OS) in male LUSC. The result of our immunohistochemistry assay also demonstrated this correlation using R0 resected tumors (n = 102, HR: 2.152, 95% CI: 1.089–4.255, p = 0.024). Although disease-free survival (DFS) difference was non-significant (n = 102, p = 0.12), the tendency of distinction was straight-forward. Cox analysis indicated ERα was the only independent prognostic factor for male patients’ OS after R0 resection (HR = 2.152, p = 0.037). Conclusion ERα was significantly related to a poor prognosis in LUSC, especially for male patients after radical surgery, confirmed by our immunohistochemistry data.

Abstract Background Published studies present conflicting data regarding the impact of Thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) expression on prognosis of various cancers . We performed this meta-analysis to clarify the preliminary predictive value of TSP-1. Methods Twenty-four studies with a total of 2379 patients were included. A comprehensive literature search was performed by using PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase, and hand searches were also conducted of relevant bibliographies. Pooled hazard ratio s ( HRs ) with 95% confidence intervals ( CIs ) for patient survival and disease recurrence were initially identified to explore relationships between TSP-1 expression and patient prognosis. Results A total of 24 eligible studies were included in this meta-analysis. Our results showed that high level of TSP-1 was correlated significantly with poor overall survival ( OS ) (HR=1.40, 95% CI: 1.17~1.68). However, high TSP-1 expression predicted no significant impact on progression-free survival ( PFS )/ metastasis-free survival (MFS ) (HR=1.35, 95%CI: 0.87-2.10) and disease-free survival ( DFS )/ recurrence-free survival ( RFS ) (HR = 1.40, 95%CI: 0.77–2.53). In addition, we performed subgroup analyses which showed that high TSP-1 expression predicted poor prognosis in breast cancer and gynecological cancer. Conclusions Our findings indicated high TSP-1 expression may serve as a promising biomarker of poor prognosis and novel therapeutic target in cancers, especially in breast cancer and gynecological cancer.

Background.The aims of this study were to evaluate the clinicopathological and prognostic values of platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in colorectal cancer (CRC).Methods.The PubMed and Embase databases and the references of relevant studies were systematically searched. This study was performed with hazard ratios (HRs) and odd ratios (ORs) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) as effect measures.Results.Our results indicated that elevated PLR was associated with poor overall survival (HR = 1.46, 95% CI = 1.23–1.73), disease-free survival (HR = 1.64, 95% CI = 1.17–2.30), cancer-specific survival (HR = 1.30, 95% CI = 1.12–1.51), and recurrence-free survival (HR = 1.38, 95% CI = 1.09–1.74) in CRC. For the clinicopathological characteristics, our results indicated that there were differences in the rate of elevated PLR between stages III/IV and I/II groups (OR = 1.38, 95% CI = 1.01–1.88), pT3/T4 and pT1/T2 groups (OR = 1.82, 95% CI = 1.03–3.20), and poor differentiation and moderate/well differentiation (OR = 2.59, 95% CI = 1.38–4.84).Conclusions.Our results indicated that elevated PLR predicted poor prognosis and clinicopathological characteristics in CRC and PLR is a convenient and low-cost blood-derived prognostic marker for CRC.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of vimentin expression in the prognosis and progression of CRC. Meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the correlations between vimentin and prognosis and clinicopathological features in CRC. Literatures were searched by PubMed, Embase, ClinicalKey, CNKI, VIP, and WanFang databases. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database was used to assess the association of vimentin expression with survival rate in CRC. Eleven reports with 1969 cases were included in the meta-analysis. The results showed that positive vimentin expression predicted a poor overall survival (OS) in the univariate analysis (HR: 2.087, 95%CI: 1.660-2.625) and multivariate analysis (HR: 1.633, 95%CI: 1.223-2.181). Vimentin overexpression also conferred worse disease-free survival (DFS) in the univariate analysis (HR: 2.069, 95%CI: 1.024-4.179) and multivariate analysis (HR: 2.802, 95%CI: 1.421-5.527). Moreover, upregulated vimentin is related to lymph node metastasis (OR: 2.288, 95%CI: 1.159-4.517), TNM stages (OR: 1.957, 95%CI: 1.333-2.873), and N stage (OR: 2.316, 95%CI: 1.482-3.620). Analysis of TCGA database indicated that elevated vimentin predicated a shorter OS (p=0.033). Our findings reveal that upregulated vimentin contributes to the progression and poor prognosis of CRC. Vimentin may be a prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target in patients with CRC.

In addition, we performed subgroup analyses which showed that high TSP-1 expression predicted poor prognosis in breast cancer and gynecological cancer. Additionally, the relatively small number of studies on PFS/MFS and DFS/RFS is a limitation. The data extracted through Kaplan-Meier curves may not be accurate.

693 Background: BRAF mutation is associated with poor survival in colorectal cancer. We aimed to generate genomic signature associated with BRAF mutation that possibly predict prognosis in colorectal cancer. Methods: A gene expression signature reflecting BRAF mutation was generated in TCGA cohorts (n = 207). The colorectal cancer patients were stratified into two groups according to this signature: BRAF mutation type colorectal cancer or BRAF wild type colorectal cancer. Prognostic significance of BRAF mutation-associated gene signature was tested in three independent cohorts (GSE 17536, GSE 14333, and GSE 39582). Results: The BRAF mutation signature was associated with poor prognosis in two independent cohorts (total n = 522). BRAF mutation type colorectal cancer was associated with poor disease-free survival (median: not reached, P = 0.0303) in GSE14333, and associated with poor overall survival (BRAF mutation vs. wild, P = 0.0355), poor disease-free survival (P = 0.00794), and poor disease-specific survival (P = 0.0341) in GSE 17536. In GSE 39582, BRAF mutation type colorectal cancer demonstrated the trend of poor overall survival according to increase of stage. In a multivariate analysis, BRAF mutation gene signature was independent poor prognostic factor for disease-free survival (hazard ratio 2.7; 95% CI 1.59-2.83: P = 0.001). Gene network analyses suggested epithelial-mesenchymal transition and colon cancer metastasis signaling are the possible explanations for poor prognosis of BRAF mutation type colorectal cancer. Conclusions: BRAF mutation signature is highly associated with poor prognosis in colorectal cancer, especially in advanced stage, and the molecules associated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition can be potential therapeutic targets in BRAF mutation type colorectal cancer.

Purpose. Urothelial carcinoma-associated 1 (UCA1) has been reported to be overexpressed and correlated with progression in various cancers. However, the association between UCA1 expression and some clinicopathological features of digestive system malignancies, such as metastasis and survival, remains inconclusive. Therefore, a meta-analysis was performed to investigate the clinical significance of UCA1 in digestive system malignancies.Methods. Relevant literatures were searched in PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Embase databases updated to May 2016.Results. A total of 1089 patients from 10 studies were included in this meta-analysis. Meta-analysis results showed that digestive system malignancy patients with UCA1 overexpression were significantly more susceptible to developing lymph node metastasis (LNM) (OR = 1.85, 95% CI: 1.28–2.67) and distant metastasis (DM) (OR = 3.14, 95% CI: 1.77–5.58) and suffer from poor overall survival (OS) (HR = 2.31, 95% CI: 1.89–2.82, univariate analysis; HR = 2.24, 95% CI: 1.69–2.98, multivariate analysis) and poor disease-free survival (DFS) (HR = 2.65, 95% CI: 1.59–4.43, univariate analysis; HR = 2.50, 95% CI: 1.62–3.86, multivariate analysis).Conclusion. UCA1 overexpression was correlated with LNM, DM, poor OS, and poor DFS. UCA1 may serve as an indicator for metastasis and poor prognosis in digestive system malignancies.

Aim. This study aims to analyze factors possibly related to the prognosis of duodenal gastrointestinal stromal tumors (DGISTs). Methods. We collected and retrospectively analyzed clinical and pathological data of 62 patients with primary DGISTs. All the patients were hospitalized and received complete surgical resection at Shanghai Ruijin Hospital from September 2003 to April 2015. We followed up the patients to determine survival outcomes. We also analyzed the effect of clinical and pathological factors on disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) of the patients. Results. Kaplan-Meier univariate survival analysis demonstrated that tumor size, mitotic index, Ki-67 index, and pathological risk were correlated with the DFS and OS of the patients (DFS P=0.039, 0.001, <0.001, and 0.005, resp.; OS P=0.027, 0.007, <0.001, and 0.012, resp.). Cox multivariate regression analysis revealed that Ki-67 index was an independent prognostic factor affecting DFS and OS (P=0.007 and 0.028, resp.). Moreover, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that imatinib treatment for patients with recurrence was correlated with prolonged OS (P=0.002). Conclusion. Prognosis for DGIST treated by R0 resection is favorable. High level of Ki-67 can be an independent risk factor of DGIST prognosis. Adjuvant imatinib therapy for patients with tumor recurrence could probably lead to prolonged survival.
