Peng X, Liu J. The relationship between household income and prognosis of patients with cervical adenocarcinoma in the United States: A retrospective cohort study based on the SEER database. EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF SURGICAL ONCOLOGY 2024; 50:108516. [PMID: 38968853 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejso.2024.108516] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2024] [Revised: 06/12/2024] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/07/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between household income and overall survival (OS) of patients with cervical adenocarcinoma. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study involving participants selected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Data were collected on various variables, including demographic variables such as median household income and clinicopathological characteristics for all participants. Cox regression analysis was utilized to examine the association between household income and OS. Subgroup analysis, sensitivity analysis, and E-value were used to further confirm the association. RESULTS A total of 2217 patients were included in the study. Compared with low-income (<$35,000-$54,999), middle-income (55,000-$69,999) or high-income (≥$70,000) was significantly associated with a higher 5-year OS (70.8 %, 58.7 % vs 50 %) in patients with cervical adenocarcinoma. The HR was 0.49, 95 % CI 0.41-0.58, p < 0.001 and 0.66 (0.55-0.78), p < 0.001 respectively, in the unadjusted model. After adjustment for potential confounders, the results were similar (adjusted HR 0.54 (0.45-0.65), p < 0.001) and 0.79 (0.66-0.94), p = 0.01), respectively. This significant association was also present in the various adjusted models. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses suggested that the relationship remained robust and reliable. The E-value analysis indicated robustness to unmeasured confounding. There was evidence of an interaction between age at diagnosis, race, primary site, tumor grade, T, N, M, or Scope Reg LN Sur, and household income on increasing the 5-year OS of cervical adenocarcinoma. CONCLUSIONS Our study found that middle or high household income was significantly associated with a better 5-year OS compared with low household income in patients with cervical adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
The incidence of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) is on the rise primarily due to the increasing use of cross-sectional imaging. Most of these incidentally detected lesions are non-functional PNETs with a small proportion of lesions being hormone-secreting, functional neoplasms. With recent advances in surgical approaches and systemic therapies, the management of PNETs have undergone a paradigm shift towards a more individualized approach. In this manuscript, we review the histologic classification and diagnostic approaches to both functional and non-functional PNETs. Additionally, we detail multidisciplinary approaches and surgical considerations tailored to the tumor's biology, location, and functionality based on recent evidence. We also discuss the complexities of metastatic disease, exploring liver-directed therapies and the evolving landscape of minimally invasive surgical techniques.

Abstract
Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) are a heterogeneous group of tumors that exhibit an unpredictable and broad spectrum of clinical presentations and biological aggressiveness. Surgical resection is still the only curative therapeutic option for localized PanNET, but the majority of patients are diagnosed at an advanced and metastatic stage with limited therapeutic options. Key factors limiting the development of new therapeutics are the extensive heterogeneity of PanNETs and the lack of appropriate clinically relevant models. In that context, genomic sequencing of human PanNETs revealed recurrent mutations and structural alterations in several tumor suppressors. Here, we demonstrated that combined loss of MEN1, ATRX, and PTEN, tumor suppressors commonly mutated in human PanNETs, triggers the development of high-grade pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors in mice. Histopathological evaluation and gene expression analyses of the developed tumors confirm the presence of PanNET hallmarks and significant overlap in gene expression patterns found in human disease. Thus, we postulate that the presented novel genetically defined mouse model is the first clinically relevant immunocompetent high-grade PanNET mouse model.

Cancer Imaging 2024; 24:28. [PMID: 38395973 PMCID: PMC10885493 DOI: 10.1186/s40644-024-00673-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2023] [Accepted: 02/12/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgically resected grade 1-2 (G1-2) pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) exhibit diverse clinical outcomes, highlighting the need for reliable prognostic biomarkers. Our study aimed to develop and validate CT-based radiomics model for predicting postsurgical outcome in patients with G1-2 PanNETs, and to compare its performance with the current clinical staging system. METHODS This multicenter retrospective study included patients who underwent dynamic CT and subsequent curative resection for G1-2 PanNETs. A radiomics-based model (R-score) for predicting recurrence-free survival (RFS) was developed from a development set (441 patients from one institution) using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator-Cox regression analysis. A clinical model (C-model) consisting of age and tumor stage according to the 8th American Joint Committee on Cancer staging system was built, and an integrative model combining the C-model and the R-score (CR-model) was developed using multivariable Cox regression analysis. Using an external test set (159 patients from another institution), the models' performance for predicting RFS and overall survival (OS) was evaluated using Harrell's C-index. The incremental value of adding the R-score to the C-model was evaluated using net reclassification improvement (NRI) and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI). RESULTS The median follow-up periods were 68.3 and 59.7 months in the development and test sets, respectively. In the development set, 58 patients (13.2%) experienced recurrence and 35 (7.9%) died. In the test set, tumors recurred in 14 patients (8.8%) and 12 (7.5%) died. In the test set, the R-score had a C-index of 0.716 for RFS and 0.674 for OS. Compared with the C-model, the CR-model showed higher C-index (RFS, 0.734 vs. 0.662, p = 0.012; OS, 0.781 vs. 0.675, p = 0.043). CR-model also showed improved classification (NRI, 0.330, p < 0.001) and discrimination (IDI, 0.071, p < 0.001) for prediction of 3-year RFS. CONCLUSIONS Our CR-model outperformed the current clinical staging system in prediction of the prognosis for G1-2 PanNETs and added incremental value for predicting postoperative recurrence. The CR-model enables precise identification of high-risk patients, guiding personalized treatment planning to improve outcomes in surgically resected grade 1-2 PanNETs.

Predicting the survival probability of functional neuroendocrine tumors treated with peptide receptor radionuclide therapy: Serbian experience. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2024; 14:1270421. [PMID: 38317712 PMCID: PMC10840135 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2023.1270421] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 02/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is a treatment option for well-differentiated, somatostatin receptor positive, unresectable or/and metastatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Although high disease control rates seen with PRRT a significant number NET patients have a short progression-free interval, and currently, there is a deficiency of effective biomarkers to pre-identify these patients. This study is aimed at determining the prognostic significance of biomarkers on survival of patients with NETs in initial PRRT treatment. Methodology We retrospectively analyzed 51 patients with NETs treated with PRRT at the Department for nuclear medicine, University Clinical Center Kragujevac, Serbia, with a five-year follow-up. Eligible patients with confirmed inoperable NETs, were retrospectively evaluated hematological, blood-based inflammatory markers, biochemical markers and clinical characteristics on disease progression. In accordance with the progression og the disease, the patients were divided into two groups: progression group (n=18) and a non-progression group (n=33). Clinical data were compared between the two groups. Results A total of 51 patients (Md=60, age 25-75 years) were treated with PRRT, of whom 29 (56.86%) demonstrated stable disease, 4 (7.84%) demonstrated a partial response, and 14 (27.46%) demonstrated progressive disease and death was recorded in 4 (7.84%) patients. The mean PFS was a 36.22 months (95% CI 30.14-42.29) and the mean OS was 44.68 months (95% CI 37.40-51.97). Univariate logistic regression analysis displayed that age (p<0.05), functional tumors (p<0.05), absolute neutrophil count (p<0.05), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio-NLR (p<0.05), C-reactive protein-CRP (p<0.05), CRP/Albumin (p<0.05), alanine aminotransferase-ALT (p<0.05), were risk factors for disease progression. Multivariate logistic regression analysis exhibited that functional tumors (p<0.001), age (p<0.05), CRP (p<0.05), and ALT (p<0.05), were independent risk factors for the disease progression in patients with NETs. Tumor functionality was the most powerful prognostic factor. The median PFS (11.86 ± 1.41 vs. 43.38 ± 3.16 months; p=0.001) and OS (21.81 ± 2.70 vs 53.86 ± 3.70, p=0.001) were significantly shorter in patients with functional than non-functional NETs respectively. Conclusion The study's results suggest that tumor functionality, and certain biomarkers may serve as prognostic survival indicators for patients with NETs undergoing PRRT. The findings can potentially help to identify patients who are at higher risk of disease progression and tailor treatment strategies accordingly.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In the treatment scenario of PanNETs-targeted therapies are desired but limited, as rarity and heterogeneity on PanNETs pose limitations to their development. AREAS COVERED We performed a literature review searching for promising druggable biomarkers and potential treatments to be implemented in the next future. We focused on treatments which have already reached clinical experimentation, although in early phases. Six targets were identified, namely Hsp90, HIFa, HDACs, CDKs, uPAR, and DDR. Even though biological rational is strong, so far reported efficacy outcomes are quite disappointing. The reason of that should be searched in the patients' heterogeneity, lack of biomarker selection, poor knowledge of interfering mechanisms as well as difficulties in patients accrual. Moreover, different ways to assess treatment efficacy should be considered, other than response rate, in light of the more indolent nature of NETs. EXPERT OPINION Development of targeted treatments in PanNETs is still an uncovered area, far behind other more frequent cancers. Rarity of NETs led to accrual of unselected populations, possibly jeopardizing the drug efficacy. Better patients' selection, both in terms of topography, grading and biomarkers is crucial and will help understanding which role targeted therapies can really play in these tumors.

Abstract
Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (pNEN) are rare and heterogeneous tumors. Previous investigations have shown that autophagy can be a target for cancer therapy. This study aimed to determine the association between the expression of autophagy-associated gene transcripts and clinical parameters in pNEN. In total, 54 pNEN specimens were obtained from our human biobank. The patient characteristics were retrieved from the medical record. RT-qPCR was performed to assess the expression of the autophagic transcripts BECN1, MAP1LC3B, SQSTM1, UVRAG, TFEB, PRKAA1, and PRKAA2 in the pNEN specimens. A Mann-Whitney U test was used to detect differences in the expression of autophagic gene transcripts between different tumor characteristics. This study showed that G1 sporadic pNEN have a higher expression of autophagic genes compared to G2. Lymphatic and distant metastasis occurred significantly more often in pNEN with a decreased expression of the autophagic genes. Within sporadic pNEN, the insulinomas express higher levels of autophagic transcripts than gastrinomas and non-functional pNEN. MEN1-associated pNEN show a higher expression of autophagic genes than sporadic pNEN. In summary, a decreased expression of autophagic transcripts distinguishes metastatic from non-metastatic sporadic pNEN. The significance of autophagy as a molecular marker for prognosis and therapy decisions needs to be further investigated.

Abstract
PURPOSE The incidence of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) was increasing. The main purpose of this study was to statistically analyze the incidence and prevalence of pNETs and the main risk factors for the prognosis. METHODS Based on the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, with three registries integrated, this study comprehensively displayed the annual age adjust incidence of pNETs from 1975 to 2018, the estimated 20-year limited-duration prevalence, and conducted the univariate and multivariate survival analysis. RESULTS The incidence of pNETs has increased to about 1.5 per 100,000 population, and the prevalence has reached about 0.008% with the aged, Grade 1 and nonfunctional tumors accounting for the majority. The average median overall survival (OS), 5-year survival rate, and median disease-free survival (DFS) of pNETs patients from 1975 to 2018 were 85 months, 57.55%, and 220 months, respectively. From 2000 to 2018, the median OS was 94 months, and the 5-year survival rate was 59.94%. In multivariate survival analysis, the greatest risk factor was Grade 3&4 with HR = 3.62 (3.10-4.28), followed by distant stage with HR = 2.77 (2.28-3.36), and aged over 80 years old with HR = 2.26 (1.33-3.83). Surgery was a protective prognostic factor with HR = 0.34 (0.29-0.40). CONCLUSION The incidence and prevalence of pNETs were still increasing, but the trend was gradual and aging in recent years. The survival time of pNETs was longer but has not changed much in recent years. The degrees of malignancy, stage, and operation were the most important prognosis factors.
