Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the potential of a combined score based on CYFRA 21-1 level and LMR as a prognostic predictor for patients with ESCC. METHODS A total of 460 patients who underwent esophagectomy were analyzed, and three groups were established based on the CA-LMR score. OS and RFS were evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier analysis, and associated factors were analyzed by univariate and multivariate Cox analysis. A mpStage system was also established based on the CA-LMR score. RESULTS The allocation of CA-LMR score of 0, 1, and 2 was 107 (23.3%), 280 (60.9%), and 73 (15.9%). There was a significant association between CA-LMR and male gender (P = 0.001), lower BMI (P = 0.035), longer tumor lesions (P = 0.002), and high pT, pN, pStage (P < 0.001, P = 0.011, P = 0.001). The 5-year OS rates for CA-LMR scores of 0, 1, and 2 were 75.4%, 60.2%, and 32.8%, respectively (P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that CA-LMR score (P = 0.011) was an independent prognostic factor for OS. The proposed mpStage system, based on CA-LMR score, demonstrated superior discriminatory ability, monotonicity, homogeneity, and prognosis prediction ability over AJCC 8th pStage system. CONCLUSIONS The CA-LMR score, combined with tumor marker and inflammatory index, could use as a potential prognostic indicator; moreover, our modified pStage system exhibited superior stratification and prognostic accuracy for patients with ESCC.

Abstract
Purpose: The prognostic significance of pretreatment serum C-terminus of cytokeratin 19 (CYFRA21-1, CYFRA) status was evaluated in the patients with surgically treated esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Methods: A total of 1047 patients with surgically treated esophageal cancer were enrolled in a multi-institutional study promoted by the Japanese Esophageal Society. This study included an up-front surgery group (n = 412), a neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) group (n = 486), and a neoadjuvant chemoradiation/radiation therapy (NACRT/RT) group (n = 149). The pretreatment CYFRA status was analyzed to assess prognostic significance using multivariate analysis according to treatment modalities. Results: The CYFRA-positive group was significantly associated with deep tumor. Univariate analysis showed that the overall survival of the CYFRA-positive group was significantly worse than that of the CYFRA-negative group, but the difference was not significant in the multivariate analysis. CYFRA was an independent risk factor for poor prognosis just in the NACRT/RT group. Conclusions: The CYFRA-positive group was associated with deep tumor and poor survival. Pretreatment CYFRA was not an independent risk factor for poor prognosis in the up-front surgery group or NAC group. It was an independent risk factor for poor prognosis just in the NACRT/RT group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study compared the analytical performance of the Elecsys 602 (Roche Diagnostics) system with the I2000 (Abbott laboratories) system for the quantitative measurement of squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCA) to assess its role as an indicator in pan squamous cell carcinoma. METHODS 435 serum samples included pan squamous cell cancer group (n = 318) and healthy subjects (n = 52) and non-squamous cell group (n = 41) and benign diseases group (n = 24) were measured by 2 systems and compared. RESULTS The within-run precision coefficient of variation (CV) for Abbott and Roche systems were 3.34-4.88% and 0.95 -1.96%, and the total precision CV were 2.89-9.48% and 3.97-5.38%, respectively. Good correlation was showed in Abbott and Roche systems (slopes = 0.749, r = 0.9658). Serum SCCA in the groups of nasopharyngeal carcinomas, lung squamous cell carcinoma, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, bladder cancer and cervical squamous cell carcinoma under the curve area (AUC) was more than 0.5, while the AUC in the non- nasopharyngeal carcinomas head and neck squamous cell carcinoma was less than 0.5. The AUC of 2 systems was statistically different in lung squamous cell carcinoma and nasopharyngeal carcinomas (P < 0.05). The levels of SCCA of 2 systems were similarities in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(stage IV vs. stage 0a-II)and bladder cancer(stage I vs. stage Oa)and cervical squamous cell carcinoma(stage IIB-III vs. stage I-IIA), which advanced stage had higher level of SCCA than early stage. But the SCCA levels of 2 systems were inconsistent in bladder cancer (stage II-IV vs. stage Oa in Abbott), head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (stage IV vs. stage Oa-I in the Roche) and lung squamous cell carcinoma (stage III vs. stage I-II in the Roche). (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS 2 systems correlated well in SCCA detection of squamous cell carcinoma, but there were individual differences. Serum SCCA may also contribute to the diagnosis of bladder cancer.

Abstract
In this study, a novel, low-cost, and flexible paper-based electrochemical immunosensor was developed for the bioanalysis of Cyfra 21.1 biomarker in human saliva samples by using stabilization of synthesis Ag nano-ink on the surface of paper using pen-on-paper technology. The employed electrochemical techniques for the evaluation of immunoplatform performance were differential pulse voltammetry and chronoamperometry. Also, the prepared immunosensor showed great ability in the determination of Cyfra21.1 in human saliva specimens. Under the optimized conditions, the obtained linear range was from 0.0025 to 10 ng/mL, and the obtained LLOQ was 0.0025 ng/mL. The developed immunosensor is easy to prepare, sensitive, cost-effective, portable, and simple. So proposed immunoplatform can be an accomplished biodevice in clinical laboratories. The proposed paper-based immunosensor could be a hopefully new and cheap tool for the diagnosis of other biomarkers. Also, the prepared immunosensor showed great ability in the determination of Cyfra21.1 biomarker in human saliva specimens.

Abstract
Background: This study investigated the impact of serum cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA21-1) level on the clinical outcomes of patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated with sorafenib (SOR) or lenvatinib (LEN). Methods: A total of 71 cases with unresectable HCC taking SOR or LEN were included. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify the prognostic factors in patients taking SOR or LEN. Results: Among the 71 patients taking SOR or LEN, the frequency of cases showing high CYFRA21-1 levels after administration increased compared to before the administration. There was no association between the CYFRA21-1 level and the result of treatment response using modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST) 12 weeks after the administration. Univariate analysis identified a maximum intrahepatic tumor diameter of 70 mm or more, extrahepatic metastasis, baseline alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) ≥ 2000 ng/mL, baseline AFP-L3 index ≥ 15%, baseline des-gamma-carboxy prothrombin (DCP) ≥ 1000 mAU/mL, baseline CYFRA21-1 > 3.5 ng/mL, 12-week mRECIST progressive disease (PD), 12-week DCP ratio ≥ 4, 12-week CYFRA21-1 ratio ≥ 2, administration period less than 12 weeks, ALBI grade 3 at PD, and no additional treatment after discontinuation of SOR/LEN as prognostic factors. Multivariate analysis revealed that AFP-L3 index ≥ 15%, 12-week mRECIST PD, 12-week DCP ratio ≥ 4, 12-week CYFRA21-1 ratio ≥ 2, administration period less than 12 weeks, and no additional treatment after discontinuation of SOR/LEN were independent factors. Conclusions: Patients with a high CYFRA21-1 level at baseline tend to have poor prognosis, and patients with a high CYFRA21-1 ratio 12 weeks after administration have poor prognosis. Serum CYFRA21-1 measurement may have additional effects on prognostic prediction, and it may be necessary to pay close attention to the transition to the next HCC treatment in cases whose CYFRA21-1 level is high.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag) is a widely used tumor marker of SCC. However, the clinical significance of serum SCC-Ag levels in recurrent esophageal SCC (ESCC) remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the clinical relevance of serum SCC-Ag levels in patients with recurrent ESCC after surgery. METHODS This study retrospectively analyzed 208 patients who experienced recurrence after curative resection for ESCC. Serum SCC-Ag levels at the time of recurrence were collected from the patients' records. The patients were classified into tertiles based on the serum SCC-Ag values (low, middle, and high), and the clinical characteristics and outcomes were compared among the groups. RESULTS Significant differences in sex (p = 0.001), pathologic T (p = 0.034), and N stages of primary cancer (p = 0.015) were observed among the groups. Although the recurrence patterns did not differ significantly, a high SCC-Ag was significantly associated with multiple recurrences (p = 0.019). The high-SCC-Ag group patients demonstrated a shorter time to recurrence than the other groups (p = 0.044). The SCC-Ag levels were significantly associated with overall survival after recurrence (p = 0.036). Multivariate analysis showed that serum SCC-Ag value at recurrence was an independent poor prognosticator (p = 0.031). CONCLUSION Elevated serum SCC-Ag levels at recurrence were significantly associated with a reduced time to recurrence, multiple recurrences, and a poor prognosis after recurrence. An alternative to the current standard treatment is required to improve the outcome for patients with high serum SCC-Ag levels at recurrence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of tumor marker index (TMI) based on preoperative cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA 21-1) and squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag) and the relationship between preoperative TMI and treatment effectiveness of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). PATIENTS AND METHODS Between January 2009 and December 2014, a total of 267 patients with ESCC who underwent radical resection were retrospectively enrolled. The TMI was defined as the geometric mean of normalized CYFRA 21-1 and SCC-Ag levels. The clinical and prognostic values of TMI were determined using univariate and multivariate survival analyses. RESULTS Preoperative TMI level was associated with age, tumor size, pT stage, pN stage, and CYFRA 21-1, SCC-Ag, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) levels. The 5-year overall survival rate of patients with high TMI was significantly lower than that of patients with low TMI (P < 0.001). Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that TMI (P = 0.031) was an independent prognostic factor. Patients with ESCC with high TMI level who underwent surgery combined with postoperative chemotherapy had a significantly better prognosis than those who underwent surgery alone (P = 0.015). However, no significant difference was observed in patients with low TMI level (P = 0.682). CONCLUSION TMI as a prognostic indicator of ESCC is superior to CYFRA 21-1 and SCC-Ag. The TMI might be useful in predicting the therapeutic effectiveness of postoperative chemotherapy and selecting patients who may benefit from postoperative chemotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most lethal malignancies with poor prognosis. Cancer-testis genes (CTGs) have been vigorously pursued as targets for cancer immunotherapy, but the expressive patterns and functional roles of CTGs remain unclear in ESCC. METHODS A systematic screening strategy was adopted to screen CTGs in ESCC by integrating multiple public databases and RNA expression microarray data from 119 ESCC subjects. For the newly identified ESCC prognosis-associated CTGs, an independent cohort of 118 patients with ESCC was recruited to validate the relationship via immunohistochemistry. Furthermore, functional assays were performed to determine the underlying mechanisms. FINDINGS 21 genes were recognized as CTGs, in particular, CDCA5 was aberrantly upregulated in ESCC tissues and significantly associated with poor prognosis (HR = 1.85, 95%CI: 1.14-3.01, P = .013). Immunohistochemical staining confirmed that positive CDCA5 expression was associated with advanced TNM staging and a shorter overall survival rate (45.59% vs 28.00% for CDCA5-/+ subjects, P = 1.86 × 10-3). H3K27 acetylation in CDCA5 promoter might lead to the activation of CDCA5 during ESCC tumorigenesis. Functionally, in vitro assay of gain- and loss-of-function of CDCA5 suggested that CDCA5 could promote ESCC cells proliferation, invasion, migration, apoptosis resistance and reduce chemosensitivity to cisplatin. Moreover, in vivo assay showed that silenced CDCA5 could inhibit tumor growth. Mechanistically, CDCA5 knockdown led to an arrest in G2/M phase and changes in the expression of factors that played fundamental roles in the cell cycle pathway. INTERPRETATION CDCA5 contributed to ESCC progression and might serve as an attractive target for ESCC immunotherapy.

Cancer Control 2019; 26:1073274819852965. [PMID: 31146546 PMCID: PMC6545664 DOI: 10.1177/1073274819852965] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
After curative treatment of esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC), patients are
at high risk for recurrence. The objective of this study was to develop an index
with a high sensitivity and specificity to predict ESCC patients’ recurrence and
prognosis. A retrospective analysis was conducted on consecutive patients with
EC who underwent esophagectomy. In total, 1417 patients were included in the
current investigation. In total, 770 patients were included in the current
study’s exploratory group. Alcohol consumption, TNM classification, number of
lymph node station metastases, and number of lymph node metastases were
significantly correlated with recurrence. Multivariate logistical regression
analysis resulted in the development of an equation for predicting recurrence
and prognosis (REEC). When using the REEC value to predict recurrence, the
cutoff value was 1.095, the area under the curve (AUC) values of the REEC were
0.68 (p < 0.001) in the Exploratory Group and 0.65
(p < 0.001) in the Validation Group, and the sensitivity
and specificity were 76.68% and 51.18%, respectively. When using the REEC value
to predict prognosis, the cutoff value was 1.215, the AUC values of the REEC
were 0.65 (p < 0.001) in the Exploratory Group and 0.64
(p < 0.001) in the Validation Group, and the sensitivity
and specificity were 73.12% and 50.67%, respectively. In the Exploratory Group,
when the REEC value was >1.095, patients had a longer median overall survival
(OS) and median disease-free survival (DFS) than those whose REEC value was <
1.095 (70.01±2.01 months versus 50.92±2.85 months and 75.66±1.35 months versus
53.68±2.81 months, respectively, p < 0.001). The differences
were confirmed to still exist in the Validation Group (48.12±1.47 vs 32.68±2.53
months and 55.61±1.32 vs 35.68±2.73 months respectively, p <
0.001).This study reported an index that can predict esophageal cancer
recurrence and prognosis, and its use can benefit patients.

Abstract
Esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC) is one of the leading malignant cancer in the world and especially in China with high incidence and mortality. The exploration of novel serum biomarkers is required for early detection of ESCC. We investigated the diagnostic value of serum insulin like growth factor binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) in ESCC, evaluating its potential to improve the diagnosis of ESCC. The serum samples of 106 patients with ESCC and 107 normal controls were tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The levels of IGFBP7 in ESCC group were significantly higher than that in normal controls, compared by the Mann-Whitney U test (P<0.0001). Using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the diagnostic value of serum IGFBP7 was demonstrated. Versus normal group, the area under the ROC curve (AUC) of all ESCC was 0.794 (95%CI: 0.735-0.853) and early-stage ESCC was 0.725 (95%CI: 0.633-0.817). With optimized cutoff value of 2.993 ng/mL, IGFBP7 showed certain diagnostic value with specificity of 90.7%, sensitivities of 40.6% and 32.4% in ESCC and early-stage ESCC, respectively. Considering the correlation between clinical data and IGFBP7, no significant association was found (all P>0.05). Thus, we supposed that serum IGFBP7 might be a potential biomarker in the diagnosis of ESCC.

Abstract
Serum tumor markers for the diagnosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) have low sensitivity. This study aims to identify new serum markers for ESCC diagnosis from RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data. RNA-seq was performed using six pairs of ESCC and matched normal tissues. The candidates for ESCC were screened from the differentially expressed genes. The candidates were analyzed by ELISA from the serum of a test group and a validation group. Real-time PCR, Western blotting and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the expression of the candidates in tumor cell lines and tumor tissues. Ten genes were selected from the RNA-seq data. Serum levels of ADAM12, CHI3L1, MMP13 and SPP1 were significantly higher in the ESCC patients than in the healthy controls. A diagnostic model combining CHI3L1, MMP13, and SPP1 was established. The area under the curve (AUC) values for serum CHI3L1, MMP13, and SPP1 and the diagnostic model for discriminating ESCC patients from controls were 0.732, 0.881, 0.661 and 0.928, respectively. In the validation cohort, the AUC values were 0.753, 0.789, 0.696 and 0.843, respectively. Moreover, the AUC of the model for classifying patients with early ESCC was 0.918 in the test group and 0.857 in the validation group. Overexpression of CHI3L1, MMP13 and SPP1 was observed in the tumor cell lines and tissues. The diagnostic model composed of CHI3L1, MMP13 and SPP1 discriminates ESCC patients with high sensitivity. Our data highlight the potential of this diagnostic model for the noninvasive diagnosis of ESCC.

Inflammation-based prognostic system predicts postoperative survival of esophageal carcinoma patients with normal preoperative serum carcinoembryonic antigen and squamous cell carcinoma antigen levels. World J Surg Oncol 2016; 14:141. [PMID: 27151090 PMCID: PMC4858859 DOI: 10.1186/s12957-016-0878-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2015] [Accepted: 04/19/2016] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS) is an established inflammation-based system that is used to predict the prognosis for several types of malignancies. In this retrospective study, we assessed the postoperative survival of 725 patients with non-metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who had normal preoperative serum tumor marker levels according to the GPS. METHODS Among 1394 patients who underwent esophagectomy between August 2006 and December 2010, 725 with normal preoperative serum levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag) were enrolled. All demographic, pathologic, and survival data were analyzed retrospectively. Uni- and multivariate analyses were performed to evaluate the relationship with overall survival. The Kaplan-Meier analysis and log-rank tests were used to compare the survival curves between patients with GPS 0 (group A) and 1 or 2 (group B). RESULTS Patients in group A exhibited significantly better 3- and 5-year cancer-specific survival (CSS) rates (0.780 and 0.759, respectively) than those in group B (0.624 and 0.605, respectively). Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that age, tumor length, pathological tumor-node-metastasis (pTNM) stage, venous invasion, lymph node metastasis, serum albumin and C-reactive protein levels, and GPS were associated with postoperative survival of these patients. Further multivariate analysis confirmed that GPS was an independent prognostic factor. The Kaplan-Meier analysis and log-rank tests demonstrated a significant difference in CSS between groups A and B (P = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS GPS may be a valuable prognostic indicator for esophageal cancer patients with normal preoperative CEA and SCC-Ag serum levels.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the relevance of C-reactive protein (CRP) and squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag) levels in relation to clinicopathological factors and prognosis in penile cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 124 Chinese patients with penile squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), treated between November 2007 and October 2014, were analysed retrospectively. Receiver-operating characteristic curves were used to identify the combination of markers with the best sensitivity and specificity for prognosis prediction. Statistical data analysis was performed using a non-parametric method, and survival analysis was performed using the log-rank test and Cox proportional hazard model. RESULTS Levels of CRP ≥4.5 mg/L and SCC-Ag ≥1.4 ng/mL were both significantly associated with lymph node metastasis (LNM) laterality (chi-squared trend test, P = 0.041), extranodal extension (chi-squared trend test, P < 0.001), pelvic LNM (chi-squared trend test, P = 0.024), pathological tumour status (chi-squared trend test, P = 0.002), pathological nodal status (chi-squared trend test, P < 0.001), and disease-specific survival (DSS; log-rank test, P < 0.001). Moreover, the influence of CRP and SCC-Ag levels on DSS (P = 0.033, hazard ratio 3.390, 95% confidence interval 1.104-10.411) remained after adjusting for smoking history, phimosis, tumour status, tumour cell differentiation and nodal status. CONCLUSIONS The present study shows that the combined measurement of preoperative CRP and SCC-Ag levels may serve as an independent biomarker for LNM, advanced tumour stage and DSS in patients with penile SCC.

Abstract
CONCLUSIONS Serum squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag) level was an independent prognostic factor for survival in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), and the prognostic value depended on the carcinoma site. OBJECTIVES To assess the value of SCC-Ag as a prognostic indicator in patients with HNSCC and to determine the effect of primary tumor site on prognosis. METHODS We reviewed 493 patients with HNSCC between 2004 and 2012. The chi-squared test was used to assess associations between SCC-Ag levels and TNM classification. A Cox proportional hazard model was used to assess the hazard ratio of SCC-Ag at different sites for death, and it was analyzed as a continuous variable. RESULTS The median serum level of SCC-Ag was 1.1 ng/ml (range 0-20). SCC-Ag was significantly higher in patients with advanced T and N classification tumors. Primary sites in the oral cavity, in the hypopharynx, advanced T and N classification, distant metastasis, and SCC-Ag were negatively associated with survival in univariate analysis. Multivariate analysis revealed that SCC-Ag was a significant risk factor for overall survival in cancers of the oral cavity, hypopharynx, and larynx, but not in oropharyngeal cancer.

Abstract
Structural and functional characteristics of mucins and cytokeratins are shortly described. Thereafter, those commonly used in breast cancer as serum tumor markers are considered. First CA15.3, MCA, CA549, CA27.29 mucins and CYFRA21.1, TPA, TPS cytokeratins alone or in association have been examined in different stages and conditions. Then their usefulness in monitoring disease-free breast cancer patients is evaluated. The central role of the established cut-off and critical change, the "early" treatment of recurrent disease and the potential benefit in survival are other issues that have been highlighted and discussed. The successive sections and subsections deal with the monitoring of advanced disease. In them, the current recommendations and the principal findings on using the above mentioned mucins and cytokeratins have been reported. A computer program for interpreting consecutive measurements of serum tumor markers also has been illustrated. The final part of the chapter is devoted to mucins and cytokeratins as markers of circulating and disseminated tumor cells and their usefulness for prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) is associated with a dismal prognosis. The identification of cancer biomarkers can advance the possibility for early detection and better monitoring of tumor progression and/or response to therapy. The authors present results from the development of a serum-based, 4-protein (biglycan, myeloperoxidase, annexin-A6, and protein S100-A9) biomarker panel for EAC. METHODS A vertically integrated, proteomics-based biomarker discovery approach was used to identify candidate serum biomarkers for the detection of EAC. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis was performed on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue samples that were collected from across the Barrett esophagus (BE)-EAC disease spectrum. The mass spectrometry-based spectral count data were used to guide the selection of candidate serum biomarkers. Then, the serum enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay data were validated in an independent cohort and were used to develop a multiparametric risk-assessment model to predict the presence of disease. RESULTS With a minimum threshold of 10 spectral counts, 351 proteins were identified as differentially abundant along the spectrum of Barrett esophagus, high-grade dysplasia, and EAC (P<.05). Eleven proteins from this data set were then tested using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays in serum samples, of which 5 proteins were significantly elevated in abundance among patients who had EAC compared with normal controls, which mirrored trends across the disease spectrum present in the tissue data. By using serum data, a Bayesian rule-learning predictive model with 4 biomarkers was developed to accurately classify disease class; the cross-validation results for the merged data set yielded accuracy of 87% and an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 93%. CONCLUSIONS Serum biomarkers hold significant promise for the early, noninvasive detection of EAC.

Abstract
Background Elevated serum YKL-40 levels have been observed in various cancers. We evaluated the diagnostic performance of serum YKL-40 alone or in combination with the CEA, CYFRA21-1 and SCCA tumor markers for patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Methods YKL-40 was detected in ESCC cell lines and tissues by real-time RT-PCR, Western blotting and ELISA. YKL-40 protein expression was determined in 20 ESCC tumor tissues using immunohistochemistry. Serum YKL-40 was measured by ELISA in 126 healthy donors, 59 patients with benign esophageal diseases and 150 patients with ESCC. Serum CEA, CYFRA21-1 and SCCA were determined by electrochemiluminescence. Results YKL-40 mRNA and protein were observed in ESCC cancer cell lines, tissues and cell culture media, respectively. YKL-40 expression was observed in 17 of 20 ESCC samples (85%). Serum YKL-40 concentration was significantly elevated in patients with ESCC (Range: 6.95-502.10 ng/ml) compared with patients with benign diseases (Range: 1.21-429.30 ng/ml; P = 0.038) and healthy controls (Range: 2.56-132.26 ng/ml; P < 0.001). ROC curves demonstrated that serum YKL-40 has a sensitivity of 72.70%, a specificity of 84.13% and an AUC of 0.874 for the diagnosis of ESCC, which was superior to CEA (Sen: 8.00%; Spe: 96.80%, AUC = 0.652), CYFRA21-1 (Sen: 40.00%; Spe: 92.06%, AUC = 0.746) and SCCA (Sen: 32.67%; Spe: 94.44%, AUC = 0.789). The YKL-40 and SCCA combination was better for diagnosing ESCC (Sen: 82.00%, Spe: 79.37%, PPV: 82.55 and NPV: 78.74; AUC = 0.917) than the YKL-40 and CEA combination (Sen: 74.00%, Spe: 83.20%, PPV: 84.09 and NPV: 72.73; AUC = 0.877), the YKL-40 and CYFRA21-1 combination (Sen: 82.00%, Spe: 77.78%, PPV: 81.46% and NPV: 78.40%; AUC = 0.897) or the CEA, CYFRA21-1 and SCCA combination (Sen: 56.67%, Spe: 84.80%, PPV: 81.73 and NPV: 61.99; AUC = 0.831). Associations between serum YKL-40 levels and the clinic characteristics of ESCC were not significant, with the exception of age (p = 0.001). Conclusions ESCC tumor cells and tissues express YKL-40. Serum YKL-40 may be a potential biomarker for ESCC. Serum YKL-40 in combination with SCCA significantly increases the sensitivity of detecting ESCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cytokeratin 19 fragment antigen (CYFRA 21-1) is used to diagnose and monitor neoplasms. However, the main disadvantages of the currently available CYFRA 21-1 assays include heterogenous technology, being time-consuming, and having low through-put with low insensitivity. This study investigated the use of amplified luminescent proximity homogeneous immunoassay (AlphaLISA) for the quantization of CYFRA 21-1 in human serum. METHODS The AlphaLISA kit was developed based on AlphaScreen detection technology with two different anti-CYFRA 21-1 monoclonal antibodies. One was coated on AlphaLISA acceptor beads and the other was biotinylated. Donor beads were coated with streptavidin. The test conditions were optimized and analytical performance was studied. RESULTS The measurement range of AlphaLISA CYFRA 21-1 kit was 0.08-500 ng/ml. Assay detection limit was 0.08 ng/ml. The intra- and interassay coefficients of variation were 3.00-9.00% and 4.00-10.00%, respectively. There was no cross-reaction to alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), cancer antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), cytokeratins 8 (CK8), and cytokeratins 18 (CK18). The correlation coefficient of blood samples involved was 0.974 between CYFRA 21-1-AlphaLISA assay and a commercial electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA) CYFRA 21-1 kit (Roche). CONCLUSIONS The AlphaLISA CYFRA 21-1 kit developed in this study had favorable performance characteristics for clinical application with acceptable analytical sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy.

Abstract
Patients with esophageal small cell carcinoma undergoing definitive chemoradiotherapy (CRT) seem to have disparity in tumor response. The identification of CRT sensitivity-related tumor markers would be helpful for selecting patients most likely to benefit from CRT. The aim of this study was to examine the predictive value of biological markers in small cell carcinoma of the esophagus (SCEC) patients treated with definitive CRT. Pretreatment serum levels of neurone-specific enolase (NSE), cytokeratin 19 fragment antigen 21-1 (CYFRA21-1), and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) were measured by immunoradiometric assays, while the tumor responses were evaluated according to the World Health Organization response criteria. The relationships between pretreatment expression of NSE, CYFRA21-1, CEA, and the tumor response to CRT were analyzed. The effective rates (complete response + partial response) in NSE high and low groups were 10.80 % (9/82) and 37.98 % (31/82), respectively (P = 0.003).The results from statistical analysis indicated that the effectiveness of CRT was significantly associated with the serum levels of NSE before treatment (P = 0.002). The overall survival (OS) of the patients with high NSE levels was worse than that of those with low NSE levels (P = 0.004). In multivariate analysis, low level of NSE was the most significant independent predictor of good OS (P = 0.003). The result showed a promising predictive value of NSE regarding to the sensitivity of tumors to CRT. NSE may be a reliable surrogate marker of CRT efficacy in patients with SCEC.

Abstract
Serum Dickkopf-1(DKK-1) is elevated in many malignancies and is an important indicator of malignant potential. However, its significance in esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC) has not yet been clarified. We hypothesized a role for DKK-1 in patients with ESCC. The study consisted of 90 ESCC patients and 85 healthy controls. After diagnosis, the level of DKK-1 was measured in the serum samples by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and the levels of DKK-1 were much higher in the ESCC patients than in the healthy control group (p < 0.0001). For serum DKK-1, the sensitivity and specificity of the assay were 70 and 80%, respectively. The preoperative serum DKK-1 level was elevated in the ESCC patients. Although serum DKK-1 is not a specific biomarker for ESCC, it might be a useful marker for the diagnosis and treatment of ESCC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Biomarker assay is a noninvasive method for the early detection of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Searching for new biomarkers with high specificity and sensitivity is very important for the early detection of ESCC. Serum surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (SELDI-TOF-MS) is a high throughput technology for identifying cancer biomarkers using drops of sera. METHODS In this study, 185 serum samples were taken from ESCC patients in a high incidence area and screened by SELDI. A support vector machine (SVM) algorithm was adopted to analyze the samples. RESULTS The SVM patterns successfully distinguished ESCC from pre-cancerous lesions (PCLs). Also, types of PCL, including dysplasia (DYS) and basal cell hyperplasia (BCH), and healthy controls (HC) were distinguished with an accuracy of 95.2% (DYS), 96.6% (BCH), and 93.8% (HC), respectively. A marker of 25.1 kDa was identified in the ESCC patterns whose peak intensity was observed to increase significantly during the development of esophageal carcinogenesis, and to decrease obviously after surgery. CONCLUSIONS We selected five ESCC biomarkers to form a diagnostic pattern which can discriminate among the different stages of esophageal carcinogenesis. This pattern can significantly improve the detection of ESCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag) level and C-reactive protein (CRP) have been shown to be associated with tumor invasion, lymph node metastasis, staging and survival in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The purpose of the present study was to analyze the relationship between preoperative levels of both SCC-Ag and CRP, with clinicopathologic factors and prognosis in OSCC patients. METHODS A retrospective study was performed on 142 OSCC patients between March 2008 and March 2011. Their serum SCC-Ag and CRP levels were measured preoperatively. RESULTS SCC-Ag level of ≥2.0 ng/ml and CRP level ≥5.0 mg/L were significantly associated with pathologic tumor status (P < 0.001), pathologic nodal metastasis (P = 0.001), tumor depth (≥10 mm vs. <10 mm, P < 0.001), disease-free survival (P ≤ 0.001) and overall survival (P ≤ 0.001). The influence of SCC-Ag and CRP level on disease-free survival (hazard ratio 4.046, 95 % confidence interval 1.698-9.692) and overall survival (hazard ratio 3.655, 95 % confidence interval 1.464-9.130) still existed after adjusting for tumor status, lymph node metastasis and tumor cell differentiation. CONCLUSIONS Concurrent high levels of both preoperative SCC-Ag and CRP levels act as a predictor for lymph node metastasis, advanced tumor stage and tumor recurrence. It therefore has significant potential as a biomarker for risk stratification in OSCC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the diagnostic values of autoantibodies against lymphocyte antigen 6 complex locus K (LY6K) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). METHODS After cloning, expressing, and purifying LY6K as fusion proteins, LY6K autoantibodies were measured in 62 patient and 58 control serum samples using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to measure the LY6K mRNA levels in ESCC and adjacent tissues. RESULTS LY6K autoantibodies were found significantly higher in patients than controls. The area under the receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) was 0.85, and the optimal sensitivity and specificity for ESCC detection were 80.6 and 78.7%, respectively. LY6K mRNA expressions in patients were upregulated. CONCLUSIONS Autoantibodies against LY6K may be a good diagnostic biomarker for ESCC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Previous studies have demonstrated a relationship between elevated serum squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) antigen (SCC-Ag) levels and shorter survival in cancer patients. Few studies, however, have investigated the role of serum SCC-Ag levels in oral SCC (OSCC). This study was conducted to analyze the relationship between preoperative SCC-Ag levels, clinicopathologic factors, and prognosis in OSCC patients. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective case-control study. METHODS Seventy-nine OSCC patients from Chang Gung Memorial Hospital were retrospectively recruited between April 2008 and March 2010. Serum SCC-Ag levels were measured preoperatively. RESULTS An SCC-Ag level of ≥2.0 ng/mL was significantly associated with the pathologic tumor status (P < .001), pathologic nodal status (P = .037), lymph node extracapsular spread (P = .016), and tumor depth (>10 mm vs. ≤10 mm, P < .001). It was not significantly associated with histologic differentiation (P = 1.000). A univariate analysis revealed that positivity for SCC-Ag was associated with disease-free survival (DFS) (P = .034) and overall survival (OS) (P < .001). In SCC-Ag-positive patients, the distant metastatic rate was higher than in the SCC-Ag-negative patients (P = .053). CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that preoperative SCC-Ag is a good marker of pathologic lymph node metastasis, an advanced tumor stage, and a higher rate of distant metastasis. The preoperative SCC-Ag level is a potential prognostic indicator in DFS and OS, but studies with a longer follow-up period are needed to confirm these results.

Abstract
AIM: To determine the association between serum levels of growth-related gene product β (GROβ) and clinical parameters in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).
METHODS: Using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, serum GROβ levels were measured in ESCC patients (n = 72) and healthy volunteers (n = 83). The association between serum levels of GROβ and clinical parameters of ESCC was analyzed statistically.
RESULTS: The serum GROβ levels were much higher in ESCC patients than in healthy controls (median: 645 ng/L vs 269 ng/L, P < 0.05). Serum GROβ levels were correlated positively with tumor size, lymph node metastasis, and tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) staging, but not with gender or the histological grade of tumors in ESCC patients. The sensitivity and specificity of the assay for serum GROβ were 73.61% and 56.63%, respectively.
CONCLUSION: GROβ may function as an oncogene product and contribute to tumorigenesis and metastasis of ESCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is currently performed for patients with advanced esophageal carcinoma. Sensitivity of tumours to CRT differs from one case to another and may be influenced by the expression of biological molecules. The aim of this study was to identify biological markers which could predict sensitivities of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) to CRT. METHODS A total of 84 patients with stage I-IV ESCC were evaluated. The cytokeratin 19 fragment antigen 21-1 (CYFRA21-1) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels were measured before CRT by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays in patients with primary ESCCs using 3.4 ng ml(-1) and 3.3 ng ml(-1), respectively, as cut-off values. The relationships between pretreatment expression of CYFRA 21-1 and CEA and the effectiveness of CRT were analysed. RESULTS The complete response (CR) rates of the primary tumours estimated by computed tomography in patients with high levels of CYFRA21-1 and CEA were 10% (3/30) and 4.2% (1/24), while in cases with low CYFRA21-1 and CEA the CR rates were 50% (27/54) and 48.3% (29/60), respectively (p = 0.002 and 0.003). The effective rates (CR+PR) in CYFRA21-1 high and low groups were 60% (18/30) and 96.3% (52/54), while in CEA high and low groups they were 58.3% (14/24) and 93.3% (56/60), respectively (p = 0.013 and 0.013). CONCLUSION CYFRA21-1 and CEA may be helpful in predicting the responsiveness in ESCC of primary lesions to CRT, although the results should be confirmed in larger, more homogeneous studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyse the alterations of serum proteins in cases of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in order to screen and validate serum marker patterns for the diagnosis of ESCC in the high-risk populations of Xinjiang, China. METHODS The serum proteomic patterns of 188 cases, including 139 patients with ESCC (54 Uygur, 45 Kazakh and 40 Han subjects) and 49 sex- and age-matched healthy controls, were detected using the SELDI-TOF-MS (surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization-time of flight-mass spectrometry) technology with the CM10 ProteinChip. Differences in protein peaks between patients with ESCC and controls were analysed using the Biomarker Pattern Software, and a primary diagnosis model of ESCC was developed and validated with SVM (support vector machines). This model was further evaluated by a large-scale blind test. RESULTS Two hundred and eighty-three protein peaks were detected within the molecular range of 0-20 kDa, among which, 140 peaks were significantly different between ESCC cases and controls (p < 0.05). A diagnostic pattern consisting of six protein peaks (m/z 5667, 5709, 5876, 5979, 6043 and 6102) was established with a sensitivity of 97.12% and a specificity of 83.87%. The large-scale blind test generated a sensitivity of 91.43% and a specificity of 88.89%. CONCLUSIONS The differential protein peaks analysed by SELDI-TOF-MS may contain promising serum biomarkers for screening ESCC. The diagnostic model which combined only six protein peaks had a satisfactory discriminatory power. The model should be further evaluated in other populations of ESCC patients and tested against controls. The nature and function of the discriminating proteins have yet to be elucidated.

Abstract
Esophageal cancer is one of the most lethal malignancies. Surgical resection of the tumor from the primary site has been the standard treatment, especially for localized squamous cell carcinoma, but considerable clinical efforts during the last decade have resulted in novel courses of treatment. These options include chemoradiotherapy, consisting of a continuous infusion of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), cisplatin (CDDP), and concurrent radiation. Given the substantial inter- and/or intra-individual variation in clinical outcome, future improvements will likely require the incorporation of a novel anticancer drug, pharmacokinetically guided administration of CDDP or 5-FU, and identification of potential responders by patient genetic profiling prior to treatment. In this review, the latest information on incidence, risk factors, biomarkers, therapeutic strategies, and the pharmacokinetically guided or genotype-guided administration of CDDP and 5-FU is summarized for future individualization of esophageal cancer treatment.

Cytokeratin fragments in the serum: their utility for the management of oral cancer. Oral Oncol 2008; 44:722-32. [PMID: 18203649 DOI: 10.1016/j.oraloncology.2007.10.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2007] [Revised: 10/30/2007] [Accepted: 10/31/2007] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth most common malignancy and is a major cause of cancer morbidity and mortality worldwide. Oral cancer is the most predominant malignancy in the Indian subcontinent due to the widespread habits of chewing tobacco and related products. Patients with oral tumours have a high risk of early locoregional relapse. Early detection of disease progression remains a challenging task mainly due to the lack of adequate early prognostic markers. CEA, SCC Ag, CA-125, serum cytokeratin (CK) fragments, Cyfra 21-1 (CK 19), TPS (CK 18), TPA (CK 8, 18, and 19) etc. are being used as serum markers for the prediction of prognosis of various malignancies. This review presents the available literature on serum CK markers in different malignancies evaluates their utility in the management of oral cancer, and identifies the lacunae which need to be addressed to develop sensitive and specific assays for early detection of recurrence, prognosis, and treatment monitoring.

Abstract
Gene expression profile analyses of non-small cell lung carcinomas (NSCLC) and esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (ESCC) revealed that lymphocyte antigen 6 complex locus K (LY6K) was specifically expressed in testis and transactivated in a majority of NSCLCs and ESCCs. Immunohistochemical staining using 406 NSCLC and 265 ESCC specimens confirmed that LY6K overexpression was associated with poor prognosis for patients with NSCLC (P = 0.0003), as well as ESCC (P = 0.0278), and multivariate analysis confirmed its independent prognostic value for NSCLC (P = 0.0035). We established an ELISA to measure serum LY6K and found that the proportion of the serum LY6K-positive cases was 38 of 112 (33.9%) NSCLC and 26 of 81 (32.1%) ESCC, whereas only 3 of 74 (4.1%) healthy volunteers were falsely diagnosed. In most cases, there was no correlation between serum LY6K and conventional tumor markers of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and cytokeratin 19-fragment (CYFRA 21-1) values. A combined ELISA for both LY6K and CEA classified 64.7% of lung adenocarcinoma patients as positive, and the use of both LY6K and CYFRA 21-1 increased sensitivity in the detection of lung squamous cell carcinomas and ESCCs up to 70.4% and 52.5%, respectively, whereas the false positive rate was 6.8% to 9.5%. In addition, knocked down of LY6K expression with small interfering RNAs resulted in growth suppression of the lung and esophageal cancer cells. Our data imply that a cancer-testis antigen, LY6K, should be useful as a new type of tumor biomarker and probably as a target for the development of new molecular therapies for cancer treatment.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to examine the clinical usefulness of cytokeratin 19 fragments (CYFRA 21-1) compared with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) antigen in patients with esophageal cancer treated with radiation therapy. METHODS Fifty-one patients with stage I-IV esophageal cancer were evaluated. CYFRA 21-1 and SCC antigen serum levels were measured at the start and the end of radiation therapy. RESULTS CYFRA 21-1 (> 3.5 ng/mL) and SCC antigen (> 1.5 ng/mL) before radiation therapy were elevated in 63% and 53% of the patients, respectively. The CYFRA 21-1 levels were significantly correlated with TNM stages, tumor depth and lymph node metastasis (P = 0.0003, P = 0.019 and P = 0.019, respectively), whereas no correlation was observed between SCC antigen and these factors. The values of CYFRA 21-1 in all patients who survived without recurrence were under the cutoff level at the end of treatment, but the values in all patients with locoregional recurrence were above the level. However, there was no significant correlation between SCC antigen level at the end of treatment and any clinical outcome. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that the evaluation of CYFRA 21-1 would be useful not only for assessment before radiation therapy but also for monitoring after radiation therapy in the treatment for esophageal cancer.

Abstract
Gene expression profile analysis of lung and esophageal carcinomas revealed that Dikkopf-1 (DKK1) was highly transactivated in the great majority of lung cancers and esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (ESCC). Immunohistochemical staining using tumor tissue microarrays consisting of 279 archived non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) and 280 ESCC specimens showed that a high level of DKK1 expression was associated with poor prognosis of patients with NSCLC as well as ESCC, and multivariate analysis confirmed its independent prognostic value for NSCLC. In addition, we identified that exogenous expression of DKK1 increased the migratory activity of mammalian cells, suggesting that DKK1 may play a significant role in progression of human cancer. We established an ELISA system to measure serum levels of DKK1 and found that serum DKK1 levels were significantly higher in lung and esophageal cancer patients than in healthy controls. The proportion of the DKK1-positive cases was 126 of 180 (70.0%) NSCLC, 59 of 85 (69.4%) SCLC, and 51 of 81 (63.0%) ESCC patients, whereas only 10 of 207 (4.8%) healthy volunteers were falsely diagnosed as positive. A combined ELISA assays for both DKK1 and carcinoembryonic antigen increased sensitivity and classified 82.2% of the NSCLC patients as positive whereas only 7.7% of healthy volunteers were falsely diagnosed to be positive. The use of both DKK1 and ProGRP increased sensitivity to detect SCLCs up to 89.4%, whereas false-positive rate in healthy donors was only 6.3%. Our data imply that DKK1 should be useful as a novel diagnostic/prognostic biomarker in clinic and probably as a therapeutic target for lung and esophageal cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE The clinical significance of isolated tumor cells (ITC) in blood has not been clearly established, particularly during follow-up in cancer patients. We conducted a longitudinal analysis of the relationship between ITC in blood during follow-up and clinicopathologic findings in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Blood samples obtained from 106 patients were examined by real-time RT-PCR assay targeting carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) mRNA. Follow-up examination every 3 months after surgery included testing for CEA mRNA and tumor markers, as well as imaging. RESULTS Thirty-nine (36.8%) patients were positive for CEA mRNA expression. CEA mRNA positivity significantly correlated with tumor depth, lymph node metastasis, stage, and venous invasion. Recurrent disease was found in 34 of 106 (32.1%) cases. CEA mRNA was found in 28 (76.5%) patients experiencing relapse. Of these 28 patients, the number positive of CEA mRNA before detection by imaging, at the same time of detection by imaging, and after detection by imaging was 18 (52.9%), 8 (23.5%), and 2 (5.9%), respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value for CEA mRNA were higher than those for serum CEA or squamous cell carcinoma. Patients positive for CEA mRNA experienced significantly shorter disease-free interval than those with negative CEA mRNA (P < 0.001). According to multivariate analysis, CEA mRNA positivity was an independent factor for disease-free interval. CONCLUSIONS Examination of CEA mRNA in peripheral blood during follow-up is useful for early detection of occult recurrence. We believe that CEA mRNA in blood will be a new marker for recurrence in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Abstract
Despite improved results gained by the combination of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy with surgery, the prognosis for the esophageal carcinoma patient remains poor. There is a need for prognostic markers that can help improve patient selection. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) have any influence on the patient prognosis in terms of prediction of chemoradiosensibility, and overall and disease-free survival. Blood samples were obtained at the time of diagnosis in 67 patients with biopsy-proven primary carcinoma of the esophagus. Although not significantly, the mean CRP level was higher than that of 20 patients with benign esophageal pathology who served as controls. No significant correlation could be found between CRP levels and baseline characteristics such as age, gender, histology, cancer localization, tumor depth, lymph node status or metastatic spread. However, patients with CRP levels higher than 6 mg/L were more frequently non-responders to chemoradiotherapy (P = 0.035), had a shorter overall survival (P = 0.061) and a shorter disease-free survival (P = 0.016). It is concluded from these results that pretreatment measurement of serum CRP levels in patients with esophageal cancer could to be used in routine practice as indicators of chemoradiosensibility and prognosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Osteopontin (OPN) is a secreted integrin-binding glycophosphoprotein that may have a role in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). To evaluate the clinical significance of OPN in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), we compared plasma OPN levels with those of common tumor markers. METHODS Preoperative plasma OPN levels were measured by enzyme immunoassay in 103 ESCC patients. Serum SCC antigen, Cyfra 21-1, and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels were also measured routinely at admission by radioimmunoassay. RESULTS Plasma OPN levels ranged from 82.8 to 1,980 ng/ml. High OPN level was associated with lymph node metastasis (p = 0.05), but not with tumor histology or depth of invasion. The overall survival of the patients with high OPN levels was worse than that of those with low OPN levels (p = 0.02). SCC antigen and Cyfra 21-1 levels were associated with the depth of tumor invasion, the tumor diameter, lymph node metastasis, and the overall survival, but CEA was not associated with these clinicopathological factors. Combined evaluation of OPN plus Cyfra 21-1 or OPN plus SCC antigen was useful as an independent prognostic indicator. CONCLUSION Measurement of the plasma OPN level, as well as serum SCC antigen and Cyfra 21-1, may help to predict the progression of ESCC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether SCC-Ag serum levels can be used as a prognostic parameter in surgically treated early stage vulvar cancer. METHODS SCC-Ag serum levels were measured preoperatively in 61 surgically staged patients with squamous cell vulvar cancer (UICC pT1 and pT2). Results were correlated to clinical data. RESULTS Mean (standard deviation) SCC-Ag serum levels in patients with vulvar cancer were 1.5 (1.99) ng/mL. SCC-Ag serum levels were significantly higher in patients with pT2 vulvar cancer (2.2 [2.6] ng/mL) compared with patients with pT1 vulvar cancer (1.0 [1.2] ng/mL, P = 0.034). SCC-Ag serum levels were not associated with lymph node involvement (P = 0.1), tumor grade (P = 0.6), and patients' age (P = 0.5). Multivariate Cox regression models considering tumor stage, lymph node involvement, patients' age, and SCC-Ag serum levels as covariates showed that lymph node involvement (P = 0.04 and P = 0.01) and tumor stage (P = 0.006 and P = 0.009), but not SCC-Ag serum levels (P = 0.8 and P = 0.6), and patients' age (P = 0.08 and P = 0.22) are prognostic factors for disease-free and overall survival, respectively. CONCLUSION SCC-Ag serum levels cannot be used as an additional prognostic parameter in patients with surgically treated early stage vulvar cancer.

Abstract
Using an electrochemiluminescence immunoassay, CYFRA 21-1 concentrations were measured in sera from 187 patients with primary liver cancer (164 with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and 23 with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC)) and 87 patients with benign liver diseases. Concentrations of CYFRA 21-1 were significantly higher in patients with ICC (5.0; interquartile range 3.1-10.7 ng ml(-1)) than in those with benign liver disease (1.4; 1.0-1.9; Mann-Whitney U-test, P<0.0001) or HCC (1.7; 1.1-2.7; Mann-Whitney U-test, P<0.0001). Using cutoff values selected for 95% specificity in the benign group (3.0 ng ml(-1)), CYFRA 21-1 showed higher sensitivity for ICC (87.0%) than three commonly used markers including alpha-fetoprotein (17.4%), carcinoembryonic antigen (34.8%), and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (60.9%). Serum CYFRA 21-1 increased in ICC from stages I/II to IV (Kruskal-Wallis test, P=0.0102). CYFRA 21-1 concentration increased with extent of local invasion, but not nodal status. Serum CYFRA 21-1 represents a useful diagnostic test for ICC that offers high sensitivity. CYFRA 21-1 reflected differences in tumour burden, suggesting applicability to staging and follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased preoperative serum squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag) concentrations have been found to be associated with advanced stage and poor prognosis in lung and cervical cancers. Because little was known about the significance of SCC-Ag concentration in patients with esophageal cancer, the aim of this study was to analyze the clinicopathologic significance of SCC-Ag in patients with esophageal SCC. PATIENTS AND METHODS. Preoperative SCC-Ag concentration was measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 309 patients with primary esophageal SCC. All patients underwent curative radical surgery without any preoperative therapy. In 215 of 309 patients, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was also measured to compare clinical significance of CEA with that of SCC-Ag. The prognostic significance for survival of SCC-Ag concentrations was studied with multivariate analysis with Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS The SCC-Ag concentration and the positivity rate of SCC-Ag were significantly elevated in patients associated with tumor progression. Statistically significant differences in SCC-Ag concentrations and SCC-Ag positivity rates were observed depending on tumor size, tumor depth, lymph node status, and distant metastasis. Although CEA was not a prognostic factor (P =.21), a high SCC-Ag concentration was a significant prognostic factor (P <.01). Multivariate analyses indicated that T factor had the best predictive power, but SCC-Ag concentration contained additional, independent prognostic information. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that preoperative serum SCC-Ag concentrations might provide a predictive information for tumor progression and survival in patients with esophageal SCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CYFRA 21-1 has been reported as a useful tumor marker for esophageal carcinoma, but little information was reported about the clinicopathologic importance of CYFRA 21-1. The aim of this study was to analyze the clinicopathologic and prognostic significance of preoperative CYFRA 21-1 in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. STUDY DESIGN The CYFRA 21-1 levels were measured before surgery by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays in 157 patients with primary esophageal squamous cell carcinomas using 3.5 ng/mL as the upper limit of normal. All patients underwent radical surgical procedures without any preoperative therapy. The association between the clinicopathologic factors assessed and the CYFRA 21-1 level was determined. The CYFRA 21-1 values were monitored after surgery in 45 available patients. The prognostic values were determined by multivariate analysis using Cox's proportional hazards model. RESULTS Thirty-one of the 157 patients (19.7%) had high CYFRA 21-1 levels (> or =3.5 ng/mL). CYFRA 21-1 levels were significantly increased in patients with large tumors (> or =40 mm, p = 0.009), deep tumors (T2-T4, p = 0.003), and node-positive tumors (p = 0.003). CYFRA 21-1 levels significantly decreased after surgery (p < 0.001). A high CYFRA 21-1 level before surgery was an independent prognostic factor for survival (p = 0.043). CONCLUSIONS A high CYFRA 21-1 level is associated with tumor progression and poor survival in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite increasingly radical surgery for esophageal carcinoma, a large number of patients still experience recurrent disease soon after operation. The current study was undertaken to evaluate the pattern of recurrence after curative esophagectomy for cancer of the thoracic esophagus and to identify factors predictive of recurrent disease. METHODS A total of 439 consecutive patients discharged from the authors' institution following R0 resection between January 1982 and July 2002 were followed for evidence of recurrence over a mean interval of 37.3 (range, 1-207) months. RESULTS Overall 1-, 3- and 5-years survival rates were 91%, 54%, and 41%, respectively. Some 230 patients (52.4%) developed proven recurrence, of whom 24 were alive and 206 were dead at the time of writing. The median time to recurrence was 12.0 (range, 6-96) months, with a median survival thereafter of 7.0 (range, 0-83) months. The pattern of recurrence was local in 12.1%, regional in 20.5% (cervical 3.6%, mediastinal 14.8%, and abdominal 2.1%), and distant in 19.8%, respectively. The overall pattern of dissemination was significantly different according to the histologic subtype (P = 0.021). One hundred five (45.7%) of all recurrences occurred within 12 months of surgery, with local, regional, and distant recurrence occurring at a median of 14.0 (range, 6-77), 13.5 (range, 6-73), and 11.0 (range, 6-96) months, respectively; A factor predictive of recurrent disease was histologic tumor depth invasion (P = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Depth of tumor invasion should be used to identify patients who will have recurrence within 12 months of operation, so that these patients may be either entered into trials of multimodality treatment or offered nonsurgical palliation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The clinical significance of circulating tumor cells in the blood during surgery has not been elucidated in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). We evaluated the relationship between circulating tumor cells and clinicopathologic findings, compared with that of serum squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) antigen and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), in ESCC. METHODS Blood samples from 54 consecutive patients were obtained from the peripheral artery and the superior vena cava at three points in time: immediately before surgery, and before and after tumor resection. CEA-specific reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), which can quantify circulating tumor cells in blood, was performed. The preoperative values of serum SCC antigen and CEA were also obtained for all patients. RESULTS CEA messenger RNA (CEA mRNA) was detected in the blood of 31 out of 54 patients (57.4%). CEA mRNA positivity was detected most frequently after tumor resection and correlated with nodal status and stage grouping. The incidence of total recurrence and blood-borne recurrence was significantly greater in patients with CEA mRNA positivity than in those with CEA mRNA negativity (P =.036 and.0026, respectively). Preoperative serum levels of SCC antigen and CEA did not correlate with clinicopathologic findings and tumor recurrence. CONCLUSIONS CEA mRNA detected by RT-PCR was more predictive of tumor recurrence than serum tumor markers. Effective adjuvant therapy is recommended for patients with CEA mRNA positive expression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Finding tumor markers for disease progression, and especially development of distant metastases, is desirable for patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). Elevated serum levels of Cyfra 21-1 (cytokeratin fraction 21-1) have been frequently associated with disease progression in patients with lung cancer. In SCCHN, Cyfra 21-1 has not been established as a routine tumor marker yet, probably due to difficulties in finding the appropriate cut-off for the serum level. The aim of this study was to investigate whether assessment of changes in serum Cyfra 21-1 over time can predict distant metastases in patients with SCCHN, without attempting to establish an arbitrary cut-off for abnormal levels. METHODS Cyfra 21-1 serum levels of 25 patients with SCCHN and distant metastases were evaluated by means of an ELISA test kit. RESULTS There was a wide range of Cyfra 21-1 serum levels at the time of primary diagnosis, without correlation with tumor size, lymph node status, time to recurrence, or presence of distant metastases. All patients had a clear increase of Cyfra 21-1 levels which preceded the appearance of distant metastases clinically. CONCLUSIONS Due to the wide range of Cyfra 21-1 levels at the time of primary tumor diagnosis, Cyfra-21-1 is neither a suitable screening marker for SCCHN, nor for diagnosis of distant metastases at the time of initial diagnosis of the tumor, but is of evident prognostic value for follow-up, especially for early detection of distant metastases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The p53 protein overexpression that usually results from genetic alterations has been reported to induce serum antibodies against p53. There is little information about the clinicopathologic and prognostic significance of preoperative serum p53 antibody in patients with esophageal cancer. METHODS A highly specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to analyze serum p53 antibodies in 105 patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The cutoff level of 1.3 U/mL was used to indicate seropositive patients, and the cutoff level of 10 U/mL was used to identify high titer patients. At 3 months after surgery, seropositive patients were examined again. RESULTS A total of 28 patients (26.7%) were positive for serum p53 antibodies. The patients who remained seropositive were more likely to develop tumor recurrence (P =.025). Seropositive patients had worse outcome than seronegative patients. The high titer group had significant association with advanced tumor stages and worse outcomes than the low titer group. High serum p53 antibody titer was an independent prognostic factor (P <.001). CONCLUSIONS We found that serum p53 antibody was useful to detect esophageal cancer and to identify those with a high risk of tumor recurrence and a poor prognosis.
