Lung Cancer Susceptibility

Aim: Epoxide hydrolase is involved in oxidative defenses and is responsible for the activation of carcinogens. The relationship between EPHX1 polymorphisms (Tyr113His and His139Arg) and overall survival (OS) and lung cancer (LC) risk was investigated. Methods: The study comprised 550 cases and 550 controls. Genotyping and statistical analysis were applied. Results: The variant genotypes of EPHX1 polymorphisms exhibited no association with LC risk. The Tyr113His polymorphism exhibited twofold increased odds of lymph node invasion (p = 0.04). The Tyr/His genotype is a risk factor for smokers. Subjects carrying the combined genotype for His139Arg showed better median survival time (MST) and the heterozygous genotype revealed better MST in the case of small-cell lung cancer (SCLC; 11.30 vs 6.73 months; log-rank test: p = 0.02). The heterozygous genotype (His139Arg) had longer MST in patients receiving cisplatin/carboplatin and irinotecan (11.30 vs 7.23; log-rank test: p = 0.007) Conclusion: The Tyr113His polymorphism is associated with LC risk in smokers and is a potential prognostic factor for OS in patients with SCLC after irinotecan.

Aim: The present study has been carried out to evaluate the association of the N-acetyl transferase 2 ( NAT2) variants in North Indian lung cancer patients and healthy controls. Furthermore, we have also determined the effect of the polymorphic variants of the NAT2 gene on the clinical outcomes and overall survival among lung cancer (LC) subjects treated with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy. Methods: This case-control study comprised a total of 550 cases and 550 healthy controls. The genotyping was carried out using polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and the statistical analysis was carried out using MedCalc. Results: There was a lack of any significant association for both 590G>A and 803A>G polymorphisms toward risk for LC, but 857G>A polymorphism exhibited a risk toward LC (p = 0.005). Whereas, variant alleles for the 481C>T polymorphism had a decreased risk for LC (p = 0.0003). Further, 857G>A polymorphism conferred a positive association between genotype and ADCC (p = 0.001) and 481C>T polymorphism had a decreased risk for SQCC (OR = 0.39, p = 0.0006) and SCLC (p = 0.001) subjects. The smokers carrying mutant genotype for the 481C>T polymorphism had a decreased risk toward LC (p < 0.0001) even in light (p = 0.002) as well as heavy smokers (p = 0.001). In case of females, 2.59-fold and 3.66-fold increased risk of LC development was observed in subjects with intermediate and slow acetylator for the 857G>A polymorphism. Whereas, in case of males this polymorphism depicts a reduced risk for LC. On the other hand, 803A>G depicted a 2.82-fold risk of LC in case of female subjects who were slow acetylators. Our study exhibits a significant difference in the overall haplotype distribution between cases and controls. In our study overall, (857G>A, 481C>T, 803A>G) was found to be best model, but was not significant using MDR. Considering the CART results 481C>T polymorphism came out to be the most significant factor in determining the LC risk. For the 803A>G polymorphism, a threefold odds of lymph node invasion were observed for mutant genotype, the recessive model exhibited an odd of 2.8. 590G>A appears to be a potential prognostic factor for OS of SCLC patients after irinotecan therapy as the survival time for such patients was better. Conclusion: These results suggest that NAT2 variant genotype for 590G>A and 803A>G was not found to modulate risk toward LC, but 857G>A polymorphism exhibited a risk toward LC and 481C>T polymorphism had a decreased risk for LC. NAT2 590G>A appears to be a potential prognostic factor for OS of SCLC patients after irinotecan therapy and 481C>T came out to be significant factor using CART.

e19156 Background: DNA repair pathway is a crucial molecular mechanism potentially involved in resistance to platinum-based chemotherapy in the unresectable non-small cell lung cancer. Furthermore, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and haplotypes in the ERCC2 gene are thought to be associated with the risk of developing lung cancer and clinical outcomes. Methods: We genotyped 8 ERCC2 htSNPs for 129 unresectable NSCLC (stage IIIA, 12; stage III, 36; stage IV, 82) cases treated with first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. Clinical characteristics, treatment outcomes, and predictive value of htSNPs in patient response, survival, and chemotherapy-related adverse events were analyzed according to each ERCC2 htSNP using chi-square test, Kaplan-Meier method, and Cox proportional hazard model. Results: No differences were observed in patient or disease characteristics and response according to ERCC2 htSNPs. In a survival analysis, rs50872 was significantly related to overall survival (OS) (log-rank test, p=0.014). The median survival duration of rs50872 G/G, A/G, and A/A genotypes was 35.75 (95% confidence interval [CI] 21.05-50.45), 36.07 (hazard ratio[HR] 1.02, 95% CI 25.20-46.94), and 16.75 (HR 3.49, 95% CI 5.73-27.77) months, respectively. A significant association was observed between grade 3-4 infections and poor survival: OS in patients with a grade 0-2 infection: 35.75 months (95% CI 28.15-43.35); OS in patients with a grade 3-4 infection: 12.86 months (95% CI 8.99-16.72, HR 3.57) (log-rank test, p<0.001). In a subgroup analysis, rs238405 genotype was significantly related to OS in the taxane-based group. However, rs238416 genotype was significantly associated with OS in the gemcitabine-based group. Conclusions: ERCC2 htSNPs rs50872 (overall), rs238405 (taxane-based group), and rs238416 (gemcitabine-based group) and infection related to first-line chemotherapy were associated with OS in unresectable NSCLC patients treated with first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. However, additional large prospective studies focusing on the role of ERCC2 htSNPs in unresectable NSCLC are needed.

PURPOSE: To evaluate whether treatment with single-agent docetaxel would result in longer survival than would best supportive care in patients with non–small-cell lung cancer who had previously been treated with platinum-based chemotherapy. Secondary end points included assessment of response (docetaxel arm only), toxicity, and quality of life. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with performance statuses of 0 to 2 and stage IIIB/IV non–small-cell lung cancer with either measurable or evaluable lesions were eligible for entry onto the study if they had undergone one or more platinum-based chemotherapy regimens and if they had adequate hematology and biochemistry parameters. They were excluded if they had symptomatic brain metastases or if they had previously been treated with paclitaxel. Patients were stratified by performance status and best response to cisplatin chemotherapy and were then randomized to treatment with docetaxel 100 mg/m2 (49 patients) or 75 mg/m2 (55 patients) or best supportive care. Patients in both arms were assessed every 3 weeks. RESULTS: One hundred four patients (103 of whom were eligible for entry onto the study) were well balanced for prognostic factors. Of 84 patients with measurable lesions, six (7.1%) achieved partial responses (three patients at each dose level). Time to progression was longer for docetaxel patients than for best supportive care patients (10.6 v 6.7 weeks, respectively; P < .001), as was median survival (7.0 v 4.6 months; log-rank test, P = .047). The difference was more significant for docetaxel 75 mg/m2 patients, compared with corresponding best supportive care patients (7.5 v 4.6 months; log-rank test, P = .010; 1-year survival, 37% v 11%; χ2 test, P = .003). Febrile neutropenia occurred in 11 patients treated with docetaxel 100 mg/m2, three of whom died, and in one patient treated with docetaxel 75 mg/m 2 . Grade 3 or 4 nonhematologic toxicity, with the exception of diarrhea, occurred at a similar rate in both the docetaxel and best supportive care groups. CONCLUSION: Treatment with docetaxel is associated with significant prolongation of survival, and at a dose of 75 mg/m2, the benefits of docetaxel therapy outweigh the risks.
