Introduction. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary malignant neoplasm of the liver. During the early stages, HCC is asymptomatic, which makes X-ray examination a particularly important diagnostic tool. According to WHO data, the mortality rate from HCC was 782,000 in 2018. HCC is associated with a number of risk factors: a high viral load, liver cirrhosis, detected HBeAg and elevated serum HBsAg levels. Inhibitors of tyrosine kinase receptors increase the overall survival and progression-free survival rates in patients with metastatic HCC. In this article, we conduct an analysis of results of the REFLECT study obtained for Russian patients by the Republican Clinical Oncological Dispensary, Ufa.Materials and methods. The experimental group included 9 patients (52.9%) receiving Lenvatinib. The control group included 8 patients (47.1%)) underwent therapy with Sorafenib at a dose of 800 mg per day 7 (41.17%) patients had a history of chronic hepatitis, of which hepatitis B and chronic hepatitis C was confirmed in 6 and 1 cases, respectively.Results and discussion. Over the period from 2017 up to the present, progression-free survival was observed in three patients (17.6%), of which 2 and 1 received Lenvatinib and Sorafenib, respectively. Overall survival was 10.5 months. The median overall survival rate in the experimental and control groups was 9.8 and 11.2 months, respectively. These parameters are considered comparable, provided that the sample was small.Conclusions. The use of Lenvatinib demonstrated the efficacy comparable to that of Sorafenib in terms of the overall survival rate in patients with inoperable HCC. Lenvatinib allowed statistically and clinically significant improvement in the progression-free survival and time to progression to be achieved.

The Relationship

Background: We investigated the relationship between myometrial invasion and the prognostic factors on overall and progression free survival in endometrial carcinoma.Methods: 122 cases operated with endometrial cancer were included into the study. Progression-free survival and overall survival were evaluated according to degree of myometrial invasion. We also investigated the relationship between myometrial invasion and prognostic factors. Results: The 5- year progression-free survival rate was 90 % in stage I, 66 % in stage II, 32 % in stage III and 60 % in stage IV. The 5- year overall survival rate was 95 % in stage I, 89 % in stage II, 49 % in stage III and 30 % in stage IV. The progression free survival and overall survival for patients with more than 50 % myometrial invasion were detected 67 % at 58 months and 66 % at 60 months, respectively. The clinicopathological variables that significantly correlated with myometrial invasion of more than 50 % were as follows: pelvic lymph node metastasis (p: 0,00029-OR: 11.2), cervical stromal invasion (p: 0008-OR:7.9), LVSI (p< 0.0001-OR: 16.5).Conclusion: The depth of myometrial invasion is one of the most important prognostic indicators and determinants of therapy in endometrial cancer.

Aim: PD-1 inhibitors have a leading role among immunotherapy while its efficacy on colorectal cancer (CRC) patients did not reach consensus and the small sample size remains as a limitation. Therefore, we undertook a meta-analysis on the effects of the monotherapy anti-PD-1 inhibitors in treating metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Materials & methods: We searched databases to identify studies on efficacy of anti-PD-1 inhibitor on CRC. Objectives were objective response rate, progression-free survival rate, disease control rate and overall survival rate with their 95% CI. Results: The overall survival rate at 1-year was 64.2% (95% CI: 0.46–0.83). Disease control rate was 56.5% (CI: 0.27–0.86) and the objective response rate as 19.7% (CI: 0.08–0.32). The 1-year-progression-free survival rate was 38.4% (CI: 0.12–0.66). Sensitivity analysis and subgroup analysis were also conducted. Conclusion: The monotherapy anti-PD-1 inhibitors are effective in treating mCRC and could be a new option for dMMR mCRC patient in first-line treatment.

Gene Isoforms

e16580 Background: Dysfuncitons of androgen and TGF-β signaling play important roles in prostate tumorigenesis. PMEPA1 gene has been defined as an androgen and TGF-β responsive gene which inhibits androgen and TGF-β signaling via negative feed-back loops. Our previous data has established that PMEPA1 distinct isoforms ( PMEPA1-a and PMEPA1-b) with disparities within N-terminus protein sequences navigate different androgen/TGF-β signaling regulations. In this study, the roles of PMEPA1 isoforms in disease progressions were investigated in solid tumors of prostate (CaP), breast, lung and colon. Methods: RNA seq data from total 2479 solid tumor samples in the TCGA dataset were used to study the correlation between expressions of PMEPA1 isoforms and disease progression including Gleason score, pathology stages, progression free survival rate (PFS) and overall survival rate (OS). The cohort is composed of 482 prostate, 1049 breast, 499 lung and 449 colon cancer patients. Results: In CaP, the TCGA data analysis showed that lower transcript level of PMEPA1-b isoform associated with higher Gleason scores and lower progression free survival rate (PFS) (P = 0.014) and worse overall survival rate (OS) (P < 0.01). The ratio of mRNA levels of PMEPA1-a versus PMEPA-b indicated higher Gleason score, lower PFS rate (P = 0.0063) and worse OS rate (P = 0.0042). In contrast, higher expression of both PMEPA1-a and PMEPA- b associated with lower PFS (P = 0.023 and 0.028, respectively) in breast cancer. And the enhanced ratio of PMEPA1-a/ b was also found to indicate lower PFS (P = 0.016) and worse OS (P = 0.016) in breast cancer. Similarly, the increased transcript levels of PMEPA1-a and PMEPA1-b isoforms significantly associated with lower PFS and worse OS rates in lung and colon cancer. The expression of PMEPA1 isoforms was not found to associate with pathology stages of diseases. Conclusions: Our data establish the biomarker potential of PMEPA1 gene isoforms ( a and b) indicating more aggressive disease progressions in 4 solid tumors, further underscoring the PMEPA1 isoform specific biological functions to differentiate regulation of androgen and TGF-β signaling in cancer cells.

BACKGROUND: In recent times, scientists have found new treatments for colorectal cancer patients. AIM: The study is to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of triplet combination chemotherapy of 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan (FOLFOXIRI) for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer in stage IV. METHODS: Uncontrolled clinical trial carried on 39 stage IV colorectal cancer patients. RESULTS: The overall response rate of the treatment was 79.4%. The average progression-free survival was 13.4 ± 9 months. The overall survival rate at 12th month and 24th month were 90% and 76%, respectively. The proportion of granulocytopenia was 48.9%, no grade 3 or 4. Side effect beyond hematology was most seen in hepatic toxicity with 52.5%, mainly at grade 1. Vomiting was 18.3%, all at grade 1. Other adverse event was very low at percentage. CONCLUSIONS: The triplet combination FOLFOXIRI chemotherapy improves the outcome of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer regarding rate of response, overall survival rate and progression-free survival, and the level of toxicity was acceptable.

5597 Background: To evaluate the 5-yrs clinical outcomes and prognostic factors of 582 nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients treated with intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). Methods: 582 NPC patients primarily treated with IMRT in Sichuan Cancer Hospital from Jan.2001 to Dec.2004 were analyzed retrospectively, including 460 males and 122 females. The prescription dose was delivered as follows: gross target volume (GTVnx) 67-76Gy in 30-33 fractions, positive neck lymph nodes (GTVln-R/L) 60-70Gy in 30-33 fractions, The lower neck and the supraclavicular fossae were irradiated with the conventional 2D technique using an anterior field. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the local-regional control rate (LRC) and overall survival rate (OS). Acute and late toxicities were graded according to the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) radiation morbidity scoring criteria, meanwhile analyze the prognostic factors. Results: The median follow-up interval was 66.4 months. The 5-year local control, regional control, distant metastasis-free survival, disease free survival, disease specific survival and overall survival rate was 89.8%, 95.2%, 74.1%, 69.6%, 83.2% and 77.1%. 133 patients died during the follow-up. The 5-year DMFS of IMRT and IMRT combined with chemotherapy was 62.1% and 70.9%, the OS of them was 75.9% and 79.1%. The incidence of grade 3 acute and late toxicity was 38.3% and 4.2% respectively.Univariate analysis revealed that gender, T/N stage, clinical stage, radiotherapy interruption, anemia and weight loss was the significant prognostic factor for the OS. Multivariate analysis showed that N stage, radiotherapy interruption, chemotherapy, the volume of GTVnx, age, anemia and weight loss was the independent prognostic factors for the OS. Conclusions: The 5-year local control and overall survival rate of NPC treating with IMRT was 89.8% and 77.1%. The clinical stage, N stage , volume of GTVnx and chemotherapy was the main prognostic factor for the OS. The acute and late toxicities were mainly grade I and II. Distant metastasis was the main pattern of failure.

PURPOSE: Prognostic factors were studied in children older than 1 year who were treated with chemotherapy for extracranial localized malignant non seminomatous germ cell tumors. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Data from two consecutive protocols were pooled. The TGM 85 (1985-1989) protocol consisted of alternating courses of cyclophosphamide, dactinomycin and vinblastine, bleomycin, and cisplatin at a dose of 100 mg/m2 per course. The TGM 90 (1990-1994) protocol was initiated with carboplatin 400 mg/m2 substituted for cisplatin as the only modification to the previous protocol. RESULTS: We examined alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels, disease stage, and primary site and identified three prognostic groups. Patients with a poor prognosis had either an AFP level ≥ 10,000 ng/mL or stage III disease and a sacrococcygeal or mediastinal primary site; such patients represented 46% of the patient population and experienced a 43% 3-year failure-free survival rate and a 77% overall survival rate. Patients with a good prognosis had an AFP level less than 10,000 ng/mL, stage I or II disease, and a testicular, ovarian, perineal, or retroperitoneal primary site; such patients represented 22% of the patient population and experienced no treatment failures. The other patients were classified in the intermediate prognosis group and represented 37% of the patient population, with an 81% 3-year failure-free survival rate and a 92% overall survival rate. CONCLUSION: Initial AFP level, disease stage, and primary site are the most important prognostic factors in this analysis. Prognostic models for pediatric germ cell tumors should allow the stratification of patients for a risk-adapted approach to treatment.

BACKGROUND Single modality treatment for stage I and stage II squamous cell carcinomas of glottis region gave excellent results. Since a long time these are treated either with definitive radiation therapy or surgical excision with endoscopes. There was not much difference with regard to voice preservation, local recurrence and disease-free survival period. Our aim was to study the clinical presentation and management protocol of glottis carcinoma in a tertiary hospital and observe the final outcome of stage II (T2N0M0) glottis carcinoma and specific factor for survival in patients treated with surgery, radiotherapy and concurrent chemoradiation. METHODS 43 patients of glottis carcinoma stage II (T2N0M0) attending a tertiary teaching hospital between May 2015 and April 2017 were included in the study. Demography and smoking status of subjects were recorded. Staging of the disease was according to American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) Staging System 7th edition. Paraglottic space infiltration was taken as a criteria to upgrade the staging. The overall survival rate, recurrence free survival, disease specific survival rate and laryngeal function preservation rate were calculated. RESULTS Out of 43 patients, males were 90.69 % and 09.30 % were females. Male to female ratio was 10.57 : 1. Mean age was 58.62 ± 2.35 years. 67.44 % were current smokers, 27.90 % were former smokers and 02.32 % were non-smokers. The overall survival scores and disease specific survival was 100 % with 11.62 % locoregional recurrences. The voice preservation was 86.04 %. Radiotherapy was used in 72.09 %, chemoradiation in 18.60 % patients and 11.62 % patients underwent surgery. 11.62 % patients presented with locoregional recurrence during 24 months of follow up. 02.32 % patients had to undergo tracheostomy. CONCLUSIONS The overall survival scores and disease specific survival were 100 % with 11.62 % loco-regional recurrence. Voice preservation was 86.04 %. Proactive prevention rather than escalation of treatment protocol gives better prognosis.

ObjectiveTo analyze the prognostic factors and treatment outcomes in endometrial cancer patients with paraaortic lymph node metastasis.MethodsData from four centers were collected retrospectively for 92 patients with endometrial cancer treated with combined radiotherapy and chemotherapy or adjuvant radiotherapy alone postoperatively, delivered by either the sandwich or sequential method. Prognostic factors affecting overall survival and progression-free survival were analyzed.ResultsThe 5-year overall survival and progression-free survival rates were 35 % and 33 %, respectively, after a median follow-up time of 33 months. The 5-year overall survival and progression-free survival rates were significantly higher in patients receiving radiotherapy and chemotherapy postoperatively compared with patients treated with adjuvant radiotherapy alone (P < 0.001 and P < 0.001, respectively). In a subgroup analysis of patients treated with adjuvant combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the 5-year overall survival and progression-free survival rates were significantly higher in patients receiving chemotherapy and radiotherapy via the sandwich method compared with patients treated with sequential chemotherapy and radiotherapy (P = 0.02 and P = 0.03, respectively). In the univariate analysis, in addition to treatment strategy, pathology, depth of myometrial invasion, and tumor grade were significant prognostic factors for both overall survival and progression-free survival. In the multivariate analysis, grade III disease, myometrial invasion greater than or equal to 50%, and adjuvant radiotherapy alone were negative predictors for both overall survival and progression-free survival.ConclusionWe demonstrated that adjuvant combined treatment including radiotherapyand chemotherapy significantly increases overall survival and progression-free survival rates compared with postoperative pelvic and paraaortic radiotherapy.
