Background: The benefit of postoperative chemotherapy remains controversial for patients with either a micropapillary or solid pattern in stage IB non-small cell lung cancer. This study is designed to explore the significance of postoperative chemotherapy in patients with either a micropapillary or solid pattern in stage IB lung adenocarcinoma.Method: To conduct the meta-analysis, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase and Medline were used to collect literature on long-term follow-up studies published before March, 2021, involving postoperative chemotherapy for patients with both a micropapillary or solid pattern in stage IB lung adenocarcinoma as compared to non-postoperative chemotherapy. Survival data was extracted from the literature, including the overall survival and disease-free survival. Based on overall survival and disease-free survival, hazard ratios and their 95% of confidence intervals were applied to assess the prognostic effect of postoperative chemotherapy. Review Manager software was used to merge the effect size for the meta-analysis.Result: In total, 6 papers with 956 patients were included. In terms of the prognosis of patients suffering from lung cancer when receiving postoperative chemotherapy, this study comprehensively reviews and evaluates the available evidence of micropapillary or solid patterns. After excluding the heterogeneity between the studies, we found that the pooled results from 6 studies report that postoperative chemotherapy was associated with a better overall survival rate when compared with non-postoperative chemotherapy (hazard ratio = 0.58, 95% confidence interval, 0.44–0.77; P = 0.0002). Postoperative chemotherapy also significantly improved the disease-free survival in patients with either a micropapillary or a solid pattern in stage IB lung adenocarcinoma (postoperative chemotherapy vs. non-postoperative chemotherapy, hazard ratio = 0.51, 95% confidence interval, 0.40–0.64; P < 0.001). However, a subgroup analysis showed that compared with non-postoperative chemotherapy, tumor size was unrelated to the prognosis of patients in stage IB undergoing postoperative chemotherapy (hazard ratio = 0.98, 95% confidence interval, 0.94–1.02; P = 0.27).Conclusion: Postoperative chemotherapy results in a better long-term survival rate for patients with either a solid or a micropapillary pattern in stage IB lung adenocarcinoma. Multi-center, prospective, clinical trials are needed to validate our findings.

AbstractObjectiveThe aim of our study was to systematically evaluate the prognostic effects of various circrnas and to explore the prognostic value of circRNAs in breast cancer patients.MethodsA systematical search was conducted on PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library databases. Eligible studies reporting on the association among circRNAs and prognostic values of breast cancer patients were included. Fixed-effects and random effects models were used to calculate the pooled hazard ratio values of overall survival and disease free survival. In addition, funnel plots were used to qualitatively analyze the publication bias.Results28 studies were included in our meta-analysis. The pooled hazard ratio values of overall survival and disease free survival related to different circRNAs expression in breast cancer patients were 1.68 (1.44-1.97), 2.63 (1.95-3.53).We have identified a total of 28 circRNAs including 19 significantly up-regulated expression circRNAs and 9 significantly down-regulated expression circRNAs in BC(breast cancer) patients. Moreover, all of them revealed mechanisms and have the function of promoting or inhibiting the proliferation, metastasis or invasion of breast cancer cells by acting on the corresponding target.ConclusionOverall, specific circRNAs are significantly associated with the prognosis of BC patients and potentially eligible for the prediction of patients survival. It also provides a potential value for clinical decision-making development and may serve as a promising circRNAs-based target therapy waiting for further elucidation.

The aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index has been reported to predict prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. This study examined the prognostic potential of stratified aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index for hepatocellular carcinoma patients undergoing curative liver resection. A total of 661 hepatocellular carcinoma patients were retrieved and the associations between aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index and clinicopathological variables and survivals (overall survival and disease-free survival) were analyzed. Higher aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index quartiles were significantly associated with poorer overall survival (p = 0.002) and disease-free survival (p = 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index to be an independent risk factor for overall survival (p = 0.018) and disease-free survival (p = 0.01). Patients in the highest aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index quartile were at 44% greater risk of death than patients in the first quartile (hazard ratio = 1.445, 95% confidence interval = 1.081 – 1.931, p = 0.013), as well as 49% greater risk of recurrence (hazard ratio = 1.49, 95% confidence interval = 1.112–1.998, p = 0.008). Subgroup analysis also showed aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index to be an independent predictor of poor overall survival and disease-free survival in patients positive for hepatitis B surface antigen or with cirrhosis (both p < 0.05). Similar results were obtained when aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index was analyzed as a dichotomous variable with cutoff values of 0.25 and 0.62. Elevated preoperative aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index may be independently associated with poor overall survival and disease-free survival in hepatocellular carcinoma patients following curative resection.

Background: Perihilar cholangiocarcinoma and distal cholangiocarcinoma arise from the same tissue but require different surgical treatment methods. It remains unclear whether these cholangiocarcinoma types have different outcomes, prognostic factors, and/or recurrence patterns. Methods: This retrospective study evaluated patients who underwent curative-intent resection for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma or distal cholangiocarcinoma at a tertiary academic hospital during 2000–2015. Survival and prognostic factors were identified using Kaplan–Meier and Cox regression analyses. Results: The 90-day mortality rates were 0% for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (36 patients) and 4% for distal cholangiocarcinoma (47 patients). There were no significant differences between perihilar cholangiocarcinoma or distal cholangiocarcinoma in median overall survival (30.9 vs 40.4 months) or median disease-free survival (14.2 vs 21.4 months). Among perihilar cholangiocarcinoma patients, age > 65 years was an independent predictor of poorer overall survival (hazard ratio: 2.45, 95% confidence interval: 1.07–5.64), while requiring bile duct re-resection was an independent predictor of disease-free survival (hazard ratio: 2.76, 95% confidence interval: 1.01–7.51). Among distal cholangiocarcinoma patients, a pN1 category independently predicted poorer overall survival (hazard ratio: 3.40, 95% confidence interval: 1.14–10.11), while preoperative CA19-9 levels >30 U/mL (hazard ratio: 2.51, 95% confidence interval: 1.09–5.79) and pN1 category (hazard ratio: 2.51, 95% confidence interval: 1.09–5.79) predicted a shorter disease-free survival. Local recurrence was more common with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (50% of recurrences), while multiple synchronous sites were more common for distal cholangiocarcinoma (41% of recurrences). Conclusion: Perihilar cholangiocarcinoma and distal cholangiocarcinoma patients have similar survival outcomes. However, local control appears to be more prognostic for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma patients, while positive lymph nodes are critical prognostic factor for distal cholangiocarcinoma patients.

BackgroundPancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms with increasing incidence and unpredictable behavior. Whole-exome sequencing recently has shown very frequent somatic mutations in the alpha-thalassemia/mental retardation X-linked (ATRX) and death domain-associated protein (DAXX) genes in PanNETs. And the prognostic significance of altered ATRX/DAXX genes in PanNETs patients have been revealed in several reports. However, many of these include small sample size and hold controversial opinions. To increase statistical power, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine a pooled conclusion. We examined the impact of altered ATRX/DAXX genes mainly on overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) in PanNETs.MethodsEligible studies were identified and quality was assessed using multiple search strategies (last search May 2021). Data were collected from studies about prognostic significance of altered ATRX/DAXX in PanNETs. Studies were pooled, and combined hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to estimate strength of the associations.ResultsFourteen studies involving 2313 patients treated for PanNETs were included. After evaluating for publication bias, disease-free survival and relapse-free survival was significantly shortened in patients with altered ATRX/DAXX gene, with combined HR 5.05 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.58-16.20, P = 0.01) and 3.21 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.44-7.16, P &lt; 0.01) respectively. However, the combined data showed there were no difference between patients with altered ATRX/DAXX gene or not in overall survival, with a combined HR 0.71 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.44-1.15, P = 0.23). We also performed a subgroup analysis with metastatic patients in overall survival, showing a combined HR 0.22 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.11-0.48, P = 0.96). The small number of studies and paucity of multivariate analyses are the limitations of our study.ConclusionsThis is the first rigorous pooled analysis assessing ATRX/DAXX mutation as prognostic biomarkers in PanNETs. Patients with altered ATRX/DAXX gene would have poor DFS according to the combined data. And altered ATRX/DAXX genes in metastatic patients showed a trend towards improved overall survival, although the difference did not reach statistical significance.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a common type of cancer characterized by a low survival rate, mostly due to local recurrence and metastasis. In view of the importance of predicting tumor behavior in the choice of treatment strategies for OSCC, several studies have attempted to investigate the prognostic value of tissue biomarkers, including microRNA (miRNA). The purpose of this study was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the relationship between miRNA expression and survival of OSCC patients. Studies were identified by searching on MEDLINE/PubMed, SCOPUS, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Quality assessment of studies was performed with the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Data were collected from cohort studies comparing disease-free survival and overall survival in patients with high miRNA expression compared to those with low expression. A total of 15 studies featuring 1,200 OSCC samples, predominantly from Asia, met the inclusion criteria and were included in the meta-analysis. Poor prognosis correlated with upregulation of 9 miRNAs (miR-21, miR-455-5p, miiR-155-5p, miR-372, miR-373, miR-29b, miR-1246, miR-196a, and miR-181) and downregulation of 7 miRNAs (miR-204, miR-101, miR-32, miR-20a, miR-16, miR-17, and miR-125b). The pooled hazard ratio values (95% confidence interval) related to different miRNA expression for overall survival and disease-free survival were 2.65 (2.07–3.39) and 1.95 (1.28–2.98), respectively. The results of this meta-analysis revealed that the expression levels of specific miRNAs can robustly predict prognosis of OSCC patients.

Abstract Objective To evaluate local recurrence, metastases, and survival outcomes of `wait and watch’ (WW) strategy and local excision (LE) of tumours, in comparison to the present standard practice of total mesorectal excision (TME) for locally advanced rectal cancers. Data Sources MEDLINE, EMBASE, PubMed databases, and sources of Grey literature. Study Selection Randomised and non-randomised prospective studies, retrospective studies with propensity-score-matched analyses. Data Extraction and Synthesis These were carried out independently by two reviewers. A random-effects methodology was used for meta-analyses. Data was presented keeping with the 27-item PRISMA checklist. Main Outcomes The primary outcomes of interest were local recurrence, distant metastases, disease-free-survival and overall-survival, which were assessed in comparison to those associated with radical surgeries (TME). Results 7 of the 16 studies in the systematic review were included for the quantitative synthesis and meta-analysis. Local recurrence rates were comparable amongst patients in WW group and LE group to those undergoing TME. [Risk ratio (RR) 3.07/1.41; 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 0.86-10.95/0.66-3.01; P = 0.08/P=0.89 respectively]. Rates of distant metastases in the WW group and LE group were comparable to those undergoing TME [RR = 0.71/0.94; 95% CI 0.22-2.30/0.55-1.61; P = 0.56/ P = 0.83 respectively]. The median 3-year disease-free survival among patients undergoing WW, LE procedure, and TME were 88%, 80%, and 78.2% respectively; and the median 3-year overall survival among the three groups were 96%, 93%, and 89.5% respectively. Conclusions and Relevance Organ-preservation strategies appear to be a viable treatment option in the management of rectal-cancers. Further research is warranted to provide stronger levels of evidence on organ-preservation strategies.

Objective Prognostic prediction of colorectal cancer (CRC) remains challenging because of its heterogeneity. Aberrant expression of caudal-type homeobox transcription factor 2 (CDX2) is strongly correlated with the prognosis of CRC. Methods Tissue samples of patients with CRC who underwent surgery in Xinhua Hospital (Shanghai, China) from January 2010 to January 2013 were collected. CDX2 expression was semiquantitatively evaluated via immunohistochemistry. Results In total, 138 patients were enrolled in this study from a prospectively maintained institutional cancer database. The median follow-up duration was 57.5 months (interquartile range, 17.0–71.0 months). In the Cox proportional hazards model, low CDX2 expression combined with stage T4 CRC was significantly the worst prognostic factor for disease-free survival (hazard ratio = 7.020, 95% confidence interval = 3.922–12.564) and overall survival (hazard ratio = 5.176, 95% CI = 3.237–10.091). In the Kaplan–Meier survival analysis, patients with low CDX2 expression and stage T4 CRC showed significantly worse disease-free survival and overall survival than those with low CDX2 expression alone. Conclusion CDX2 expression combined with the T stage was more accurate for predicting the prognosis of CRC. Determining the prognosis of CRC using more than one variable is valuable in developing appropriate treatment and follow-up strategies.

Background. Metabolism in the tumor microenvironment can play a critical role in tumorigenesis and tumor aggression. Metabolic coupling may occur between tumor compartments; this phenomenon can be prognostically significant and may be conserved across tumor types. Monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs) play an integral role in cellular metabolism via lactate transport and have been implicated in metabolic synergy in tumors. The transporters MCT1 and MCT4 are regulated via expression of their chaperone, CD147.Methods. We conducted a meta-analysis of existing publications on the relationship between MCT1, MCT4, and CD147 expression and overall survival and disease-free survival in cancer, using hazard ratios derived via multivariate Cox regression analyses.Results. Increased MCT4 expressions in the tumor microenvironment, cancer cells, or stromal cells were all associated with decreased overall survival and decreased disease-free survival (p<0.001for all analyses). Increased CD147 expression in cancer cells was associated with decreased overall survival and disease-free survival (p<0.0001for both analyses). Few studies were available on MCT1 expression; MCT1 expression was not clearly associated with overall or disease-free survival.Conclusion. MCT4 and CD147 expression correlate with worse prognosis across many cancer types. These results warrant further investigation of these associations.

Background: The pretreatment prognostic nutritional index has been considered a potential prognostic biomarker in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but this remains controversial. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to systematically assess the prognostic value of the prognostic nutritional index in patients with NSCLC. Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and CNKI. The hazard ratios (HRs) with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to evaluate the link between the prognostic nutritional index and the oncological outcomes of patients with NSCLC, including overall survival, disease-free survival/recurrence-free survival, and progression-free survival. Results: Fifteen studies were included in this meta-analysis. Twelve of these studies explored the association between the prognostic nutritional index and the overall survival of patients with NSCLC. Our pooled analysis indicated that a low prognostic nutritional index was significantly related to adverse overall survival (HR 1.61; 95% CI 1.44, 1.81; P < 0.001). Our results also showed that the prognostic nutritional index was a negative predictor for disease-free survival/recurrence-free survival, and progression-free survival in patients with NSCLC. Conclusion: Our meta-analysis demonstrated that there was a close association between the prognostic nutritional index value and prognosis in NSCLC patients and that the prognostic nutritional index may act as a useful prognostic biomarker in NSCLC patients.

Purpose To report mature results of a randomized trial that compared extended-field radiotherapy (EFRT) versus pelvic radiotherapy with concomitant fluorouracil and cisplatin (CTRT) in women with locoregionally advanced carcinomas of the uterine cervix. Patients and Methods Four hundred three women with cervical cancer were randomly assigned to receive either EFRT or CTRT. Patients were eligible if they had stage IIB to IVA disease, stage IB to IIA disease with a tumor diameter ≥ 5 cm, or positive pelvic lymph nodes. Patients were stratified by stage and by method of lymph node evaluation. Results The median follow-up time for 228 surviving patients was 6.6 years. The overall survival rate for patients treated with CTRT was significantly greater than that for patients treated with EFRT (67% v 41% at 8 years; P < .0001). There was an overall reduction in the risk of disease recurrence of 51% (95% CI, 36% to 66%) for patients who received CTRT. Patients with stage IB to IIB disease who received CTRT had better overall and disease-free survival than those treated with EFRT (P < .0001); 116 patients with stage III to IVA disease had better disease-free survival (P = .05) and a trend toward better overall survival (P = .07) if they were randomly assigned to CTRT. The rate of serious late complications of treatment was similar for the two treatment arms. Conclusion Mature analysis confirms that the addition of fluorouracil and cisplatin to radiotherapy significantly improved the survival rate of women with locally advanced cervical cancer without increasing the rate of late treatment-related side effects.
