Fenwick A, Black C, Linehan V, Gala-Lopez BL, Costa AF. Resection of colorectal carcinoma liver metastases: A population-based study in outcomes and factors associated with recurrent disease. Curr Probl Diagn Radiol 2024; 53:481-487. [PMID: 38702281 DOI: 10.1067/j.cpradiol.2024.04.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2023] [Revised: 03/15/2024] [Accepted: 04/18/2024] [Indexed: 05/06/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the hepatic disease-free survival (HDFS) and overall survival (OS) of patients who underwent resection of colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRCLM) in our population, and evaluate what factors are associated with these outcomes. METHODS Patients with resected non-mucinous CRCLM between January 2013-February 2020 were retrospectively identified. Dates of diagnosis, surgery, and, if applicable, death were recorded. HDFS and OS were calculated using a census date of 24 September 2022. Separate Cox multivariate regression analyses were performed to evaluate for association between HDFS and OS and the following factors: pre-operative imaging interval (<4 weeks vs. ≥4 weeks); pre-operative imaging modality (CT only vs. MRI+CT); extrahepatic disease at time of hepatectomy (yes vs. no); tumor burden score (TBS, where TBS2 = (largest axial dimension of CRCLM)2 + (number of CRCLM)2); pT and pN; and neoadjuvant chemotherapy. RESULTS 137 subjects (mean age, 61 ± 11 years, 86 males) were included. Associations with recurrent hepatic disease were found with chemotherapy (HR 2.11[95 % CI = 1.13-3.92]), TBS (HR 1.30[95 % CI = 1.17-1.45]), MRI+CT (HR 2.12[95 % CI = 1.29-3.48]), and extrahepatic disease at hepatectomy (HR 2.16[95 % CI = 1.08-4.35]). For mortality, associations were found with TBS (HR 1.22[95 % CI = 1.09-1.37]), pT (HR 1.45[95 % CI = 1.05-2.00]), and extrahepatic disease at hepatectomy (HR 2.10[95 % CI = 1.31-3.36]). CONCLUSION In our population, non-imaging related factors TBS, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, pT and presence of extrahepatic disease at time of hepatectomy were associated with HDFS and/or OS. The preoperative imaging interval and use of preoperative MRI were not associated with improved patient outcomes.

Acta Oncol 2023; 62:1742-1748. [PMID: 37738268 DOI: 10.1080/0284186x.2023.2259083] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2023] [Accepted: 09/10/2023] [Indexed: 09/24/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with detectable ctDNA after radical-intent treatment of metastatic spread from colorectal cancer (mCRC) have a very high risk of recurrence, which may be prevented with intensified adjuvant chemotherapy (aCTh). In the OPTIMISE study, we investigate ctDNA-guided aCTh after radical-intent treatment of mCRC. Here we present results from the preplanned interim analysis. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study is an open-label 1:1 randomized clinical trial comparing ctDNA-guided aCTh against standard of care (SOC), with a run-in phase investigating feasibility measures. Key inclusion criteria; radical-intent treatment for mCRC and clinically eligible for triple-agent chemotherapy. Patients underwent a PET-CT scan before randomization. ctDNA analyses of plasma samples were done by ddPCR, detecting CRC-specific mutations and methylation of the NPY gene. In the ctDNA-guided arm, ctDNA positivity led to an escalation strategy with triple-agent chemotherapy, and conversely ctDNA negativity led to a de-escalation strategy by shared-decision making. Patients randomized to the standard arm were treated according to SOC. Feasibility measures for the run-in phase were; the inclusion of 30 patients over 12 months in two Danish hospitals, compliance with randomization >80%, rate of PET-CT-positive findings <20%, and eligibility for triple-agent chemotherapy >80%. RESULTS Thirty-two patients were included. The rate of PET-CT-positive cases was 22% (n = 7/32). Ninety-seven percent of the patients were randomized. Fourteen patients were randomly assigned to SOC and sixteen to ctDNA-guided adjuvant treatment and follow-up. All analyses of baseline plasma samples in the ctDNA-guided arm passed the quality control, and 19% were ctDNA positive. The median time to result was three working days. All ctDNA-positive patients were eligible for triple-agent chemotherapy. CONCLUSION The study was proven to be feasible and continues in the planned large-scale phase II trial. Results from the OPTIMISE study will potentially optimize the adjuvant treatment of patients undergoing radical-intent treatment of mCRC, thereby improving survival and reducing chemotherapy-related toxicity.

Abstract
Background Simultaneous or delayed surgery for synchronous colorectal liver metastases is performed in the clinic; which method is better is still up for debate. In particular, infectious complications are rarely compared. This study aims to investigate the differences between simultaneous and delayed surgery for synchronous colorectal liver metastases by comparing infectious complications and prognosis. Methods Firstly, the patients' information from a single institution's database was retrospectively analyzed. Then the patients were divided into a simultaneous group and a delayed group according to synchronous colorectal liver metastases. Analyzing the postoperative complications within 30 days, the progression-free survival, and the overall survival in the two groups. Results The simultaneous group had a higher neo-adjuvant chemotherapy rate (42.0% VS. 16.0% in the delayed group, P < 0.05) and laparoscopic surgery rate (89.8% VS. 72.0% in the delayed group, P < 0.05) than the delayed group. Moreover, the simultaneous group had a higher liver-related infection rate (17.0 VS. 0.0% in the delayed group, P < 0.05). Conclusion Although there was no difference in survival rate between delayed and simultaneous surgeries, the delayed surgery have fewer liver-related infections compared with the simultaneous surgery in synchronous colorectal liver metastases patients. Delayed surgery could be a better treatment method for synchronous colorectal liver metastases patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence on simultaneous resection for elderly patients (age ≥ 70 years) with colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) is lacking. METHODS Four hundred and eighty-two CRLM patients treated by simultaneous resection were categorised into young group (age < 70 years) and elderly group (age ≥ 70 years). Propensity score matching (PSM1) was performed to adjust for differences in baseline characteristics and compare short-term outcomes. An additional propensity score matching (PSM2) including short-term outcomes was performed to analyse survival. Subgroup analysis was performed in patients stratified by the Clinical Risk Score (CRS). RESULTS After PSM1, 87 young group patients were matched to 50 elderly group patients. Patients in the elderly group had a significantly higher rate of overall post-operative complications (68.0% vs. 46.0%, p = 0.013). After PSM2, 89 young group patients were matched to 47 elderly group patients. Progression-free survival (PFS) was comparable between the two groups (median 11.0 months vs. 9.8 months, p = 0.346). Age ≥ 70 independently predicted worse overall survival (OS) (Hazard ratio, HR = 2.57, 95% confidence interval, CI 1.37-4.82) in multivariate analysis. In the subgroup multivariate analysis of patients with CRS score 3-5, age ≥ 70 was independently associated with worse PFS (HR = 1.62, 95% CI 1.01-2.62) and OS (HR = 2.34, 95% CI 1.26-4.35). CONCLUSIONS Simultaneous resection for elderly CRLM patients is acceptable. Further studies are required to determine the optimal treatment for elderly CRLM patients with high CRS scores.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES We tested the feasibility of a simultaneous resection clinical trial in patients with synchronous colorectal cancer liver metastases to obtain the necessary information to plan a randomized trial. METHODS Multicenter feasibility single-arm trial enrolling patients with synchronous colorectal cancer liver metastases eligible for simultaneous resection. Prespecified criteria for feasibility were: proportion of eligible patients enrolled ≥66%, and the proportion of enrolled patients who completed simultaneous resection ≥75%. The prespecified 90-day major postoperative complication rate was 30%. RESULTS Of 61 eligible patients from February 2017 to August 2019, 41 were enrolled (67%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 55%-78%), 32 underwent simultaneous resection (78%; 95% CI, 63%-88%). Four patients were not enrolled due to the surgeon's preference, three were due to the complexity of resection (right hepatectomy and low anterior resection). Intraoperative complications during liver resection (n = 4) and progression of disease (n = 4) were the main reasons for not undergoing simultaneous resection. The 90-day incidence of major complications was 41% (95% CI, 16%-58%) and the 90-day postoperative mortality was 6% (95% CI, 1.7%-20%). CONCLUSION According to prespecified criteria, enrolling patients with synchronous colorectal cancer liver metastases to a trial of simultaneous resection is feasible; however, it is associated with higher than anticipated 90-day postoperative complications.

Abstract
Background Local treatment remains the best option for recurrent colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM). The current study aimed to investigate predictive factors of survival outcomes and select candidates for local treatment for CRLM at first recurrence. Methods Data were collected retrospectively from CRLM patients who underwent hepatic resection and developed first recurrence between 2000 and 2019 at our institution.
A nomogram predicting overall survival was established based on a multivariable Cox model of clinicopathologic factors. The predictive accuracy and discriminative ability of the nomogram were determined by the concordance index and calibration curve. Results Among 867 patients who underwent curative hepatic resection, 549 patients developed recurrence. Three hundred patients were evaluated and had resectable and liver-limited disease. Among them, repeat liver resection and percutaneous radiofrequency ablation were performed in 88 and 85 patients, respectively. The other 127 patients received only systemic chemotherapy. Multivariable analysis identified primary lymph node positivity, tumor size > 3 cm, early recurrence, RAS gene mutation and no local treatment as independent risk factors for survival outcomes. Integrating these five variables, the nomogram presented a good concordance index of 0.707. Compared with patients who received only systemic chemotherapy, radical local treatment did not significantly improve survival outcomes (median OS: 21 vs. 15 months, p = 0.126) in the high-risk group (total score ≥ 13). Conclusion Radical local treatment improved the survival of recurrent CRLM patients. The proposed model facilitates personalized assessments of prognosis for patients who develop first recurrence in the liver.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A uniform treatment strategy for patients suffering from early recurrence after local treatment of CRLM is currently lacking. The aim of this observational cohort study was to assess the potential survival benefit of repeat local treatment compared to systemic therapy in patients suffering from early recurrence of CRLM. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients who developed recurrent CRLM within 12 months after initial local treatment with curative intent were retrospectively identified in Amsterdam University Medical Centers between 2009-2019. Differences in overall and progression-free survival among treatment strategies were assessed using multivariable Cox regression analyses. RESULTS A total of 135 patients were included. Median overall survival of 41 months [range 4-135] was observed in patients who received repeat local treatment, consisting of upfront or repeat local treatment after neoadjuvant systemic therapy, compared to 24 months [range 1-55] in patients subjected to systemic therapy alone (adjusted HR = 0.42 [95%-CI: 0.25-0.72]; P = .002). Prolonged progression-free survival was observed after neoadjuvant systemic therapy followed by repeat local treatment, as compared to upfront repeat local treatment in patients with recurrent CRLM within 4 months following initial local treatment of CRLM (adjusted HR = 0.36 [95%-CI: 0.15-0.86]; P = .021). CONCLUSION Patients with early recurrence of CRLM should be considered for repeat local treatment strategies. A multimodality approach, consisting of neoadjuvant systemic therapy followed by repeat local treatment, appeared favorable in patients with recurrence within 4 months following initial local treatment of CRLM.

Abstract
Hepatic cancer is often amenable to surgery, including percutaneous ablation, trans-arterial chemoembolization. However, in metastatic cases, surgery is often not an effective option. Chemotherapy as a conventional clinical method for treatment of malignant diseases may be useful in such cases, but it is likewise not always able to slow or halt progression, therefore novel approaches for treatment of hepatic cancer are needed. Current research suggests that molecular tumor markers (TM) can play a crucial role for diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of malignancies, and TM such as AFP, CEA, CA19-9 have been reported in many malignant diseases. Thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), a type of anti-oxidant biomarker, has become a TM of significant interest. However, little is known about the above TM and TrxR activity in liver cancer. Therefore, this paper aimed to assess these TM with regards to diagnosis and and monitoring treatment efficacy in both primary and metastatic liver cancer. Our results showed TrxR had superior performance for discriminating between liver cancer patients and healthy controls than AFP, CEA, and CA19-9. TrxR also exhibited superior performance for assessing benefits of chemotherapy regardless if patients had PLC or MLC. Meanwhile, due to diagnostic efficiency of unresponsive chemotherapy patients, TrxR also showed a higher activity levels than other general markers in liver metastasis patients. Our results suggest that application of TrxR in combination with other tumor markers may maximize the efficiency of diagnosis and assessment of therapeutic efficiency, and provide new insights for the clinical application of TrxR as a candidate biomarker for liver cancer.

A novel prognostic nomogram for colorectal cancer liver metastasis patients with recurrence after hepatectomy. Cancer Med 2021; 10:1535-1544. [PMID: 33539664 PMCID: PMC7940234 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.3697] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2020] [Revised: 12/02/2020] [Accepted: 12/07/2020] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to construct a nomogram to predict personalized post-recurrence survival (PRS) among colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM) patients with post-hepatectomy recurrence. METHODS Colorectal cancer liver metastasis patients who received initial hepatectomy and had subsequent recurrence between 2001 and 2019 in Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center from China were included in the study. Patients were randomly assigned to a training cohort and a validation cohort on a ratio of 2:1. Univariable analysis was first employed to select potential predictive factors for PRS. Then, the multivariable Cox regression model was applied to recognize independent prognostic factors. According to the model, a nomogram to predict PRS was established. The nomogram's predictive capacity was further assessed utilizing concordance index (C-index) values, calibration plots, and Kaplan-Meier curves. RESULTS About 376 patients were finally enrolled, with a 3-year PRS rate of 37.3% and a 5-year PRS rate of 24.6%. The following five independent predictors for PRS were determined to construct the nomogram: the largest size of liver metastases at initial hepatectomy, relapse-free survival, CEA level at recurrence, recurrent sites, and treatment for recurrence. The nomogram displayed fairly good discrimination and calibration. The C-index value was 0.742 for the training cohort and 0.773 for the validation cohort. Patients were grouped into three risk groups very well by the nomogram, with 5-year PRS rates of 45.2%, 23.3%, and 9.0%, respectively (p < 0.001) in the training cohort and 36.0%, 9.2%, and 4.6%, respectively (p < 0.001) in the validation cohort. CONCLUSION A novel nomogram was built and validated to enable the prediction of personal PRS in CRLM patients with post-hepatectomy recurrence. The nomogram may help physicians in decision making.

Multimodal Treatment in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (mCRC) Improves Outcomes-The University College London Hospital (UCLH) Experience. Cancers (Basel) 2020; 12:cancers12123545. [PMID: 33261002 PMCID: PMC7760146 DOI: 10.3390/cancers12123545] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2020] [Revised: 11/21/2020] [Accepted: 11/25/2020] [Indexed: 01/09/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite notable advances in the management of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) over the last two decades, treatment intent in the vast majority of patients remains palliative due to technically unresectable disease, extensive disease, or co-morbidities precluding major surgery. Up to 30% of individuals with mCRC are considered potentially suitable for primary or metastasis-directed multimodal therapy, including surgical resection, ablative techniques, or stereotactic radiotherapy (RT), with the aim of improving survival outcomes. We reviewed the potential benefits of multimodal therapy on the survival of patients with mCRC treated at the UCLH. METHODS Clinical data on baseline characteristics, multimodal treatments, and survival outcomes were retrospectively collected from all patients with mCRC receiving systemic chemotherapy between January 2013 and April 2017. Primary outcome was the impact of multimodal therapy on overall survival, compared to systemic therapy alone, and the effect of different types of multimodal therapy on survival outcome, and was assessed using the Kaplan-Meier approach. All analyses were adjusted for age, gender, and side of primary tumour. RESULTS One-hundred and twenty-five patients with mCRC were treated during the study period (median age: 62 years (range 19-89). The liver was the most frequent metastatic site (78%; 97/125). A total of 52% (65/125) had ≥2 lines of systemic chemotherapy. Of the 125 patients having systemic chemotherapy, 74 (59%) underwent multimodal treatment to the primary tumour or metastasis. Median overall survival (OS) was 25.7 months [95% Confidence Interval (CI) 21.5-29.0], and 3-year survival, 26%. Univariate analysis demonstrated that patients who had additional procedures (surgery/ablation/RT) were significantly less likely to die (Hazard Ratio (HR) 0.18, 95% CI 0.12-0.29, p < 0.0001) compared to those receiving systemic chemotherapy alone. Increasing number of multimodal procedures was associated with an incremental increase in survival-with median OS 28.4 m, 35.7 m, and 64.8 m, respectively, for 1, 2, or ≥3 procedures (log-rank p < 0.0001). After exclusion of those who received systemic chemotherapy only (n = 51), metastatic resections were associated with improved survival (adjusted HR 0.36, 95% CI 0.20-0.63, p < 0.0001), confirmed in multivariate analysis. Multiple single-organ procedures did not improve survival. CONCLUSION Multimodal therapy for metastatic bowel cancer is associated with significant survival benefit. Resection/radical RT of the primary and resection of metastatic disease should be considered to improve survival outcomes following multidisciplinary team (MDT) discussion and individual assessment of fitness.

Simultaneous versus staged colorectal and hepatic resections for colorectal cancer with synchronous hepatic metastases: a meta-analysis of outcomes and clinical characteristics. Int J Colorectal Dis 2020; 35:1629-1650.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the comparative outcomes and clinical characteristics of simultaneous and staged colorectal and hepatic resections for colorectal cancer with synchronous hepatic metastases. METHODS We conducted a systematic search of electronic information sources, and bibliographic reference lists. Perioperative morbidity and mortality, anastomotic leak, wound infection, bile leak, bleeding, intra-abdominal abscess, sub-phrenic abscess, reoperation, recurrence, 5-year overall survival, procedure time, and length of hospital stay were the evaluated outcome parameters. Combined overall effect sizes were calculated using random-effects model. RESULTS We identified 41 comparative studies reporting a total of 12,081 patients who underwent simultaneous (n = 5013) or staged (n = 7068) resections for colorectal cancer with synchronous hepatic metastases. There were significantly lower use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (p = 0.003), higher right-sided colonic resections (p < 0.00001), and minor hepatic resections (p < 0.00001) in the simultaneous group. The simultaneous resection was associated with significantly lower rate of bleeding (OR 0.60, p = 0.03) and shorter length of hospital stay (MD - 5.40, p < 0.00001) compared to the staged resection. However, no significant difference was found in perioperative morbidity (OR1.04, p = 0.63), mortality (RD 0.00, p = 0.19), anastomotic leak (RD 0.01, p = 0.33), bile leak (OR 0.83, p = 0.50), wound infection (OR 1.17, p = 0.19), intra-abdominal abscess (RD 0.01, p = 0.26), sub-phrenic abscess (OR 1.26, p = 0.48), reoperation (OR 1.32, p = 0.18), recurrence (OR 1.33, p = 0.10), 5-year overall survival (OR 0.88, p = 0.19), or procedure time (MD - 23.64, p = 041) between two groups. CONCLUSIONS Despite demonstrating nearly comparable outcomes, the best available evidence (level 2) regarding simultaneous and staged colorectal and hepatic resections for colorectal cancer with synchronous hepatic metastases is associated with major selection bias. It is time to conduct high-quality randomised studies with respect to burden and laterality of disease. We recommend the staged approach for complex cases.

Abstract
In this retrospective study, we evaluated the predictive role of different immunohistochemical expression (IHC) of the mismatch repair proteins (MMR) in patients with colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) submitted to liver resection. A total of 108 patients were retrieved, and 15 patients were excluded from the study because of the impossibility to obtain adequate formalin-fixed tissue blocks. The final analysis included 93 patients. Twenty-eight cases (30%) presented a no loss of expression or microsatellite stability (MSS) status, 59 cases (63%) showed a hybrid loss of expression, while 6 cases (7%) presented a complete loss of expression or microsatellite instability status (MSI). Patients with complete or hybrid loss of expression of MMR developed a high intra-hepatic recurrence rate compared to other ones (54% vs 21% OR of 4.278, 95% CI 1.53-11.93) (p = 0.004). The same difference in terms of liver recurrence has been found among patients with R0 resection (50% vs 17% OR of 0.2, 95% CI 0.06-0.65) (p = 0.005). However, there was no difference in terms of disease-free survival and overall survival. Complete or hybrid loss of expression of MMR could be considered a risk factor for intra-hepatic recurrences after liver resections for CRLM.

Abstract
Very few data are reported in the literature on the association between elevated microsatellite alterations at selected tetranucleotide repeats (EMAST) and prognosis in advanced colorectal cancer. Moreover, there is no information available in relation to the response to antiangiogenic treatment. We analyzed EMAST and vascular endothelial growth factor-B (VEGF-B) microsatellite status, together with standard microsatellite instability (MSI), in relation to prognosis in 141 patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) treated with chemotherapy (CT) alone (n = 51) or chemotherapy with bevacizumab (B) (CT + B; n = 90). High MSI (MSI-H) was detected in 3% of patients and was associated with progression-free survival (PFS; p = 0.005) and overall survival (OS; p < 0.0001). A total of 8% of cases showed EMAST instability, which was associated with worse PFS (p = 0.0006) and OS (p < 0.0001) in patients treated with CT + B. A total of 24.2% of patients showed VEGF-B instability associated with poorer outcome in (p = 0.005) in the CT arm. In conclusion, our analysis indicated that EMAST instability is associated with worse prognosis, particularly evident in patients receiving CT + B.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Simultaneous compared to staged resection of synchronous colorectal cancer liver metastases is considered safe. We aimed to determine their cost implications. STUDY DESIGN Population-based cohort was generated by linking administrative healthcare datasets in Ontario, Canada (2006-2014). Resection of colorectal cancer and liver metastases within six months was considered synchronous. Cost analysis was performed from the perspective of a third-party payer. Median costs with range were estimated using the log-normal distribution of cost using t-test with a one-year time horizon. RESULTS Among patients undergoing staged resection (n = 678), the estimated median cost was $54,321 CAD (IQR 45,472 to 68,475) and $41,286 CAD (IQR 31,633 to 58,958) for those undergoing simultaneous resection (n = 390), median difference: $13,035 CAD (p < 0.001). Primary cost driver were all costs related to hospitalization for liver and colon resection, which was higher for the staged approach, median difference: $16,346 CAD (p < 0.001). This was mainly due to a longer median length of hospital stay in the staged vs. simultaneous group (11 vs. 8 days, p < 0.001 respectively), which was not attributable to differences in major postoperative complication rates (23% vs. 28%, p = 0.067 respectively). Other costs, including cost of chemotherapy within six months of surgery ($11,681 CAD vs. $8644 CAD, p = 0.074 respectively) and 90-day re-hospitalization cost ($2155 CAD vs. $2931 CAD, p = 0.454 respectively) were similar between groups. CONCLUSION Cost of staged resection of synchronous colorectal cancer liver metastases is significantly higher compared to the simultaneous approach, mostly driven by a longer length of hospital stay despite similar postoperative complication rates.

Yang J, Liu SY, Liu YD. Integrated bioinformatics analysis of expression, related signal pathways, and prognostic significance of CCNA2 in hepatocellular carcinoma. Shijie Huaren Xiaohua Zazhi 2019; 27:1490-1501. [DOI: 10.11569/wcjd.v27.i24.1490] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most diagnosed malignant carcinomas of the digestive system with a poor prognosis. In this study, the expression of CCNA2 gene expression in HCC was investigated by bioinformatics analysis and the feasibility of CCNA2 gene as a molecular marker for prognosis in HCC was assessed. The results of bioinformatics analysis were verified by immunohistochemistry assay.
AIM To investigate the expression of CCNA2 in HCC, related signal pathways, and its relationship with prognosis.
METHODS The expression levels of CCNA2 mRNA in HCC and paracancerous tissues were compared based on the TCCA database. CCNA2 protein interaction network was constructed based on the String database, and the related protein function and KEGG signal pathways were enriched. According to the expression level of CCNA2, the patients were divided into high and low expression groups, and the difference in overall survival (OS) and disease free survival (DFS) was compared between the two groups. The relationship between the expression of CCNA2 protein analyzed by immunohistochemistry and the clinicopathological features of 72 patients with HCC who underwent surgical treatment was analyzed.
RESULTS The expression level of CCNA2 mRNA was significantly higher in HCC than in normal liver tissues. There are ten proteins that have a close interaction with CCNA2 protein, with edge = 50, and the regional clustering index is 0.931. The interaction network of the ten proteins that have a close interaction with CCNA2 protein was significantly enriched (P < 0.05). The expression of TOP2 mRNA was positively correlated with CCNA2 expression (r = 0.85, P < 0.05), while CCL14 expression was negatively correlated with CCNA2 expression (r = -0.54, P < 0.05). CCNA2 gene related signaling pathways are mainly enriched in cell cycle, viral carcinogenesis, hepatitis B, p53 signaling pathway, and PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. The prognosis analysis indicated that the OS (HR = 1.7, P = 0.0037) and DFS rates were significantly lower in the high expression group than in the low expression group (HR = 1.6, P = 0.0037). Immunohistochemistry showed that the high expression rate of CCNA2 in HCC was 34.7% (25/72). High expression of CCNA2 protein was significantly associated with tumor diameter (P < 0.05), DC infiltration (P < 0.05), and recurrence/metastasis 2 years after operation (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION CCNA2 gene is up-regulated in HCC, which can be used as a molecular marker for poor prognosis in HCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Synchronous liver metastases from colorectal cancer may be resected simultaneously with the primary or as a second staged operation. We evaluated trends of resection for synchronous colorectal cancer liver metastases and associated patient outcomes. METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study that included patients undergoing resection for synchronous colorectal cancer liver metastases from 2006 to 2015 in the province of Ontario, Canada (population 13 million). Simultaneous resections occurred on the same admission, while staged resections occurred less than 6 months apart. Outcomes included postoperative complications, length of hospital stay, and overall survival. Kaplan Meier survival estimates, Cox proportional hazard models and logistic regression were used. RESULTS Among 2,738 patients undergoing resection for colorectal cancer liver metastases, 1168 (42%) had synchronous disease. Of these, 442 resections were simultaneous (38%) and 776 were staged (62%). The proportion of synchronous disease among patients undergoing resection increased on average 3% per year (p = 0.02). For simultaneous versus staged resection, respectively, median length of hospital stay was shorter (8 vs. 11 days, p < 0.001); rate of major liver resections was lower (17% vs. 65%, p < 0.001), major postoperative complications were similar (28% vs. 23%, p = 0.067), and 90-day post-operative mortality was higher (6% vs. 1%, p < 0.001). Chemotherapy was administered more commonly among patients undergoing staged resections (91% vs. 76%, p < 0.001). Simultaneous resection was associated with a lower median overall survival (40 months, 95%CI 35-46 vs. 78 months, 95%CI 59-86). Risk factors for lower survival included higher comorbidities, right-sided primary and simultaneous resection. CONCLUSION Simultaneous resection was associated with similar postoperative complications, higher postoperative mortality and poorer long-term survival. Prospective randomized trials can inform the role of simultaneous versus staged resection for synchronous colorectal cancer liver metastases.
