Front Oncol 2024; 14:1403822. [PMID: 39099698 PMCID: PMC11294096 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2024.1403822] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 07/04/2024] [Indexed: 08/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective The purpose of this study is to investigate potential associations between osteopenia, osteosarcopenia, and postoperative outcomes in patients with hepatobiliary-pancreatic cancer (HBPC). Methods Three online databases, including Embase, PubMed, and the Cochrane Library, were thoroughly searched for literature describing the relationship between osteopenia, osteosarcopenia, and outcomes of surgical treatment of HBPC patients from the start of each database to September 29, 2023. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used to rate the quality of the studies. Results This analysis included a total of 16 articles with a combined patient cohort of 2,599 individuals. The results demonstrated that HBPC patients with osteopenia had significantly inferior OS (HR: 2.27, 95% CI: 1.70-3.03, p < 0.001) and RFS (HR: 1.96, 95% CI: 1.42-2.71, p < 0.001) compared to those without osteopenia. Subgroup analysis demonstrated that these findings were consistent across univariate and multivariate analyses, as well as hepatocellular carcinoma, biliary tract cancer, and pancreatic cancer. The risk of postoperative major complications was significantly higher in patients with osteopenia compared to those without osteopenia (OR: 1.66, 95% CI: 1.19-2.33, p < 0.001). Besides, we also found that the presence of osteosarcopenia in HBPC patients was significantly related to poorer OS (HR: 3.31, 95% CI: 2.00-5.48, p < 0.001) and PFS (HR: 2.50, 95% CI: 1.62-3.84, p < 0.001) in comparison to those without osteosarcopenia. Conclusion Preoperative osteopenia and osteosarcopenia can predict poorer OS and RFS with HBPC after surgery.

Ishida T, Miki A, Sakuma Y, Watanabe J, Endo K, Sasanuma H, Teratani T, Kitayama J, Sata N. Preoperative Bone Loss Predicts Decreased Survival Associated with Microvascular Invasion after Resection of Hepatocellular Carcinoma. Cancers (Basel) 2024; 16:2087. [PMID: 38893206 PMCID: PMC11171155 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16112087] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2024] [Revised: 05/23/2024] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteopenia is a well-known risk factor for survival in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma; however, it is unclear whether osteopenia can apply to both genders and how osteopenia is associated with cancer progression. The aim of this study was to elucidate whether osteopenia predicts reduced survival in regression models in both genders and whether osteopenia is associated with the pathological factors associated with reduced survival. METHODS This study included 188 consecutive patients who underwent hepatectomy. Bone mineral density was assessed using computed tomography (CT) scan images taken within 3 months before surgery. Non-contrast CT scan images at the level of the 11th thoracic vertebra were used. The cutoff value of osteopenia was calculated using a threshold value of 160 Hounsfield units. Overall survival (OS) curves and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were constructed using the Kaplan-Meier method, as was a log-rank test for survival. The hazard ratio and 95% confidence interval for overall survival were calculated using Cox's proportional hazard model. RESULTS In the regression analysis, age predicted bone mineral density. The association in females was greater than that in males. The OS and RFS of osteopenia patients were shorter than those for non-osteopenia patients. According to univariate and multivariate analyses, osteopenia was an independent risk factor for OS and RFS. The sole pathological factor associated with osteopenia was microvascular portal vein invasion. CONCLUSION Models suggest that osteopenia may predict decreased OS and RFS in patients undergoing resection of hepatocellular carcinoma due to the mechanisms mediated via microvascular portal vein invasion.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study examined the impact of osteosarcopenia on recurrence and the prognosis after resection for extrahepatic biliary tract cancer (EBTC). METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 138 patients after resection for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (11), distal cholangiocarcinoma (54), gallbladder carcinoma (30), or ampullary carcinoma (43). Osteosarcopenia is defined as the concomitant occurrence of osteopenia and sarcopenia. We investigated the relationship between osteosarcopenia and the overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) in univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS Osteosarcopenia was identified in 38 patients (27.5%) before propensity score (PS) matching. In the multivariate analysis, the independent recurrence factors were the prognostic nutrition index (p = 0.015), osteosarcopenia (p < 0.001), poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma (p = 0.004), perineural invasion (p = 0.002), and non-curability (p = 0.008), whereas the independent prognostic factors were prognostic nutrition index (p = 0.030), osteosarcopenia (p < 0.001), poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma (p = 0.007), lymphatic invasion (p = 0.018), and non-curability (p = 0.004). After PS matching, there was no significant difference in the variables between the patients with and without osteosarcopenia (n = 34 each). The 5-year DFS and OS after PS matching in patients with osteosarcopenia were significantly worse than in patients without osteosarcopenia (17.6% vs. 38.8%, p = 0.013 and 20.6% vs. 57.4%, p = 0.0005, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Preoperative osteosarcopenia could predict the DFS and OS of patients after resection for EBTC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteopenia, a condition in which bone mineral density is lower than normal, is a noted risk factor that leads to a shortened healthy life expectancy. OBJECTIVE To investigate the prognostic impact of preoperative osteopenia in patients with colorectal cancer. DESIGN This was a retrospective study. SETTING This study was conducted at a university hospital. PATIENTS A total of 1086 patients with stage I to III colorectal cancer who underwent curative resection. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Osteopenia was evaluated with CT. Overall survival, disease-specific survival, and recurrence-free survival were the primary end points. RESULTS Osteopenia was identified in 300 patients (27.6%). Compared with the no osteopenia group, the 5-year overall survival (74.0% vs 93.4%, p < 0.001), disease-specific survival (81.6% vs 97.2%, p < 0.001), and recurrence-free survival rates (57.1% vs 88.3%, p < 0.001) were significantly lower in the osteopenia group. Multivariate analyses showed that preoperative osteopenia was significantly associated with worse overall survival (HR: 4.135; 95% CI, 2.963-5.770; p < 0.001), disease-specific survival (HR: 7.673; 95% CI, 4.646-12.675; p < 0.001), and recurrence-free survival (HR: 5.039; 95% CI, 3.811-6.662; p < 0.001). The prognosis of the osteopenia group was poorer than that of the no osteopenia group in every stage: 5-year overall survival (stage I: 89.4% vs 96.9%, p = 0.028; stage II: 76.5% vs 91.9%, p < 0.001; stage III: 56.4% vs 90.8%, p < 0.001) and 5-year recurrence-free survival (stage I: 85.4% vs 96.6%, p = 0.002; stage II: 62.0% vs 86.5%, p < 0.001; stage III: 26.4% vs 80.0%, p < 0.001). LIMITATIONS The main limitations are retrospective single-institutional features and races of the study population. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative osteopenia could be a strong predictive marker for long-term prognosis in colorectal cancer regardless of stage. EL IMPACTO PRONSTICO DE LA OSTEOPENIA PREOPERATORIA EN PACIENTES CON CNCER COLORRECTAL ANTECEDENTES:La osteopenia, una afección en la que la densidad mineral ósea es más baja de lo normal, es un relevante factor de riesgo que conduce a una expectativa menor de vida saludable.OBJETIVO:Investigar el impacto pronóstico de la osteopenia preoperatoria en pacientes con cáncer colorrectal (CCR).DISEÑO:Un estudio retrospectivo.AJUSTE:Estudio realizado en un hospital universitario.PACIENTES:Un total de 1.086 pacientes con CCR en estadio I-III sometidos a una resección curativa.PRINCIPALES MEDIDAS DE RESULTADO:La osteopenia se evaluó con imágenes de tomografía computarizada. La supervivencia global la supervivencia específica de la enfermedad y la supervivencia libre de recurrencia fueron los criterios de valoración primaria.RESULTADOS:Se identificó osteopenia en 300 pacientes (27,6%). En comparación con el grupo sin osteopenia, las tasas de supervivencia global a 5 años (74,0% frente a 93,4%, p < 0,001), supervivencia especifica de la enfermedad (81,6 % frente a 97,2%, p < 0,001) tasas de supervivencia libre de recurrencia (57,1% frente a 88,3%, p < 0,001) fueron significativamente más bajas en el grupo de osteopenia. Los análisis multivariados mostraron que la osteopenia preoperatoria se asoció significativamente con una peor supervivencia global (HR 4,135; IC 95% 2,963-5,770; p < 0,001), supervivencia especifica de la enfermedad (HR 7,673; IC 95% 4,646-12,675; p < 0,001) y tasas de supervivencia libre de recurrencia (HR 5,039; IC 95% 3,811-6,662; p < 0,001). El pronóstico del grupo con osteopenia fue peor que el del grupo sin osteopenia en todos los estadios: supervivencia global a 5 años (estadio I: 89,4% frente a 96,9%, p = 0,028; estadio II: 76,5% frente a 91,9%, p < 0,001; estadio III: 56,4% frente a 90,8%, p < 0,001) y tasas de supervivencia libre de recurrencia a 5 años (estadio I: 85,4% frente a 96,6%, p < 0,002; estadio II: 62,0% frente a 86,5%, p < 0,001; estadio III: 26,4% frente a 80,0%, p < 0,001).LIMITACIONES:Las principales limitaciones son las características retrospectivas de una sola institución y las razas de la población de estudio.CONCLUSIONES:La osteopenia preoperatoria puede ser un fuerte marcador predictivo para el pronóstico a largo plazo en CCR independientemente de la etapa.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteosarcopenia is a newly described syndrome that has been reported to be associated with worse outcomes in various types of cancer. However, its impact on survival in biliary tract cancer remains unclear. This study evaluated the impact of osteosarcopenia on survival in patients with unresectable or recurrent biliary tract cancer. METHODS A total of 306 patients with unresectable or recurrent biliary tract cancer who initiated chemotherapy at our institution between 2015 and 2021 were retrospectively investigated. Skeletal muscle index and bone mineral density were measured using pretreatment cross-sectional computed tomography images. Baseline characteristics and survival outcomes were compared between patients with osteosarcopenia and those without. The Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to identify factors associated with survival. RESULTS Osteosarcopenia was present in 66 patients (22%) and was associated with older age (74 vs. 69 years, P < 0.001) and female sex (58 vs. 37%, P = 0.003). Patients with osteosarcopenia tended to have worse performance status (P = 0.098), higher modified Glasgow prognostic score (P = 0.082), higher neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (P = 0.058) and were significantly less likely to receive combination chemotherapy (68 vs. 80%, P = 0.044) than those without. Osteosarcopenia was associated with reduced survival (8.9 vs. 14.0 months, P < 0.001) and was identified as an independent factor predicting shorter survival in multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS Osteosarcopenia was associated with poor survival in unresectable or recurrent biliary tract cancer treated with chemotherapy. This study highlights the potential importance of screening for osteosarcopenia in patients with biliary tract cancer.

Osteopenia is associated with inferior survival in patients undergoing partial hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma. Sci Rep 2022; 12:18316. [PMID: 36316524 PMCID: PMC9622743 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-21652-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/2022] [Accepted: 09/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/07/2022] Open
Abstract
Osteopenia is known to be associated with clinical frailty which is linked to inferior outcomes in various clinical scenarios. However, the exact prognostic value of osteopenia in patients undergoing curative intent-surgery for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is not completely understood. This retrospective study was conducted in a cohort of 151 patients who underwent partial hepatectomy for HCC in curative intent at a German university medical center (05/2008-12/2019). Preoperative computed tomography-based segmentation was used to assess osteopenia, and the prognostic impact of pathological changes in bone mineral density (BMD) on perioperative morbidity, mortality, and long-term oncological outcome was analyzed. Five-year overall survival of osteopenic patients was significantly worse compared to those with normal BMD (29% vs. 65%, p = 0.014). In line with this, the probability of disease-free survival at 5 years was significantly worse for patients with osteopenia (21% vs. 64%, p = 0.005). In our multivariable model, osteopenia was confirmed as an independent risk-factor for inferior overall survival (Hazard-ratio 7.743, p = 0.002). Concerning perioperative complications, osteopenic patients performed slightly worse, even though no statistical difference was detected (Clavien-Dindo ≥ 3b; 21% vs. 9%, p = 0.139). The present study confirms osteopenia as an independent risk-factor for inferior survival in patients undergoing partial hepatectomy for HCC in a European cohort. Further studies are warranted to validate these findings.

Abstract
Patients with BM are in advanced stages of systemic cancer, which may translate into significant alterations of body composition biomarkers, such as BMD. The present study investigated the prognostic value of BMD on overall survival (OS) of 95 patients with surgically-treated BM related to NSCLC. All patients were treated in a large tertiary care neuro-oncological center between 2013 and 2018. Preoperative BMD was determined from the first lumbar vertebrae (L1) from routine preoperative staging computed tomography (CT) scans. Results were stratified into pathologic and physiologic values according to recently published normative reference ranges and correlated with survival parameters. Median preoperative L1-BMD was 99 Hounsfield units (HU) (IQR 74-195) compared to 140 HU (IQR 113-159) for patients with pathological and physiologic BMD (p = 0.03), with a median OS of 6 versus 15 months (p = 0.002). Multivariable analysis revealed pathologic BMD as an independent prognostic predictor for increased 1-year mortality (p = 0.03, OR 0.5, 95% CI 0.2-1.0). The present study suggests that decreased preoperative BMD values may represent a previously unrecognized negative prognostic factor in patients of BM requiring surgery for NSCLC. Based on guideline-adherent preoperative staging, BMD may prove to be a highly individualized, readily available biomarker for prognostic assessment and treatment guidance in affected patients.

Preoperative Osteopenia Is Associated with Significantly Shorter Survival in Patients with Perihilar Cholangiocarcinoma. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14092213. [PMID: 35565342 PMCID: PMC9103099 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14092213] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2022] [Revised: 04/06/2022] [Accepted: 04/26/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Osteopenia is defined as low bone mineral density (BMD) and has been shown to be associated with outcomes of patients with various cancers. The association between osteopenia and perihilar cholangiocarcinoma is unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate osteopenia as a prognostic factor in patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma. Methods: A total of 58 patients who underwent surgery for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma were retrospectively analyzed. The BMD at the 11th thoracic vertebra was measured using computed tomography scan within one month of surgery. Patients with a BMD < 160 HU were considered to have osteopenia and b BMD ≥ 160 did not have osteopenia. The log-rank test was performed for survival using the Kaplan−Meier method. After adjusting for confounding factors, overall survival was assessed by Cox′s proportional-hazards model. Results: The osteopenia group had 27 (47%) more females than the non-osteopenia group (p = 0.036). Median survival in the osteopenia group was 37 months and in the non-osteopenia group was 61 months (p = 0.034). In multivariable analysis, osteopenia was a significant independent risk factor associated with overall survival in patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (hazard ratio 3.54, 95% confidence interval 1.09−11.54, p = 0.036), along with primary tumor stage. Conclusions: Osteopenia is associated with significantly shorter survival in patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma.

Abstract
PURPOSE Osteopenia typically presents low bone mineral density (BMD) and has recently been reported as a prognostic factor in various cancers. However, the prognostic value of osteopenia in digestive tract cancers remains to be defined. We aimed to review the prognostic value of preoperative osteopenia in patients with digestive cancers. METHODS Cohort studies evaluating the prognostic value of preoperative osteopenia in digestive cancers (colorectal, esophageal, hepatic, bile duct, and pancreatic cancer) were searched using electronic databases and trial registries. The exposure was defined as low BMD estimated by computed tomography at 11th thoracic vertebra, while comparator was normal BMD. The primary outcomes were overall survival and recurrence-free survival for osteopenia. Random effect meta-analyses were performed. The Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation approach was used to assess the certainty of evidence. RESULTS A total of 11 studies (2230 patients) were included. Osteopenia was an independent risk factor for overall survival (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.02, 95% CI = 1.47 to 2.78; I2 = 74%), along with sarcopenia. Osteopenia also predicted poor recurrence-free survival (HR = 1.96, 95% CI = 1.36 to 2.81; I2 = 85%). In subgroup analyses, osteopenia predicted prognosis in colorectal, esophageal, hepatic, and bile duct cancers, but not in pancreatic cancer. The certainty of the evidence was low due to inconsistency and publication bias. CONCLUSION Osteopenia may be independently associated with poor prognosis in patients with digestive tract cancer. Further studies are needed to establish the relevance of osteopenia in the operative prognosis of these patients.

Abstract
Alterations in bone mineral density (BMD) have been suggested as independent predictors of survival for several diseases. However, little is known about the role of BMD in the context of critical illness and intensive care medicine. We therefore evaluated the prognostic role of BMD in critically ill patients upon admission to an intensive care unit (ICU). Routine computed tomography (CT) scans of 153 patients were used to assess BMD in the first lumbar vertebra. Results were correlated with clinical data and outcomes. While median BMD was comparable between patients with and without sepsis, BMD was lower in patients with pre-existing arterial hypertension or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. A low BMD upon ICU admission was significantly associated with impaired short-term ICU survival. Moreover, patients with baseline BMD < 122 HU had significantly impaired overall survival. The prognostic relevance of low BMD was confirmed in uni- and multivariate Cox-regression analyses including several clinicopathological parameters. In the present study, we describe a previously unrecognised association of individual BMD with short- and long-term outcomes in critically ill patients. Due to its easy accessibility in routine CT, BMD provides a novel prognostic tool to guide decision making in critically ill patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteopenia, which exhibits low bone mineral density (BMD), has been linked to sarcopenia and recently reported as a prognostic factor in various cancers. However, the prognostic significance of osteopenia in esophageal cancer remains unclear. Hence, this study aimed to clarify the impact of osteopenia on the prognosis of patients undergoing esophagectomy for esophageal cancer. METHODS We included 229 patients who underwent esophagectomy. BMD was calculated as the average pixel density (Hounsfield unit) within a circle in midvertebral core at the 11th thoracic vertebra on preoperative computed tomography. We then divided the patients into the Osteopenia group (n = 159) and the Non-Osteopenia group (n = 70) according to the optimal cutoff value obtained from the receiver operating characteristic curve. Their clinicopathological data, prognosis, and recurrence were analyzed. RESULTS The mean age was significantly older in the Osteopenia group (p = 0.047). The Osteopenia group had significantly worse overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) than the Non-Osteopenia group (p = 0.001 and p = 0.012, respectively). Multivariate analysis revealed osteopenia was an independent prognostic factor for OS (p < 0.001; hazard ratio [HR], 2.243; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.422-3.538) and RFS (p = 0.008; HR, 1.739; 95% CI, 1.154-2.620). In logistic regression model, advanced age and cStage III-IV were independent risk factors for preoperative osteopenia. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative osteopenia is associated with poor survival and recurrence in patients undergoing esophagectomy for esophageal cancer.

Abstract
Background Osteopenia/osteoporosis, characterized by low bone mineral density (BMD), is a potential prognostic factor in cancer patients. We conducted a retrospective single-institution study to evaluate the prognostic impact of preoperative low BMD on colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) in patients undergoing liver resection. Methods BMD was assessed in 281 patients undergoing initial liver resection for CRLM by analyzing the preoperative computed tomography (CT) images at the level of the eleventh thoracic vertebra as the region of interest. Survival outcomes were compared between the two groups divided by the median BMD value and prognostic factors after surgery were assessed. Propensity score-based inverse probability weighting (IPW) was applied to adjust for between-group differences in baseline characteristics. Results The low BMD group had significantly more older patients (≥75 years) (P=0.01) and a higher incidence of bilobar metastases (P=0.005) than the normal BMD group. After IPW adjustment, overall survival (OS) was significantly poorer (P=0.02) and recurrence-free survival was slightly poorer (P=0.05) in the low BMD group than in the normal BMD group. IPW-adjusted regression analysis revealed that low BMD was independently associated with an adverse OS (hazard ratio, 1.42; 95% CI, 1.04–1.93; P=0.03), in addition to other factors such as tumor number, extrahepatic disease, preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen level (≥5 ng/mL), and right-sided primary tumor location. Conclusions Preoperative CT-measured low BMD can serve as a surrogate marker of adverse OS in CRLM patients undergoing liver resection. Prevention and early intervention for osteopenia/osteoporosis may be suggested for these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM We evaluated the relationship between low bone mineral density (BMD), also called osteopenia, and prognosis in patients who underwent resection for pancreatic cancer (PC). PATIENTS AND METHODS We enrolled 91 consecutive patients who underwent curative resections for PC between May 2009 and January 2019. Their BMDs were measured at the Th11 vertebra using computed tomography. Patients were then divided by age-adjusted standard BMD values into the osteopenia group (n=34) and the non-osteopenia group (n=57). Their overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were compared (log-rank test). RESULTS The two groups did not differ in age, BMI, tumor marker, operation time, blood loss, postoperative complications or stage. The osteopenia group had significantly worse 3-year rates for OS (46% vs. 30%, p=0.04) and RFS (41% vs. 26%, p=0.01). In multivariate analysis, osteopenia was an independent prognostic factor for RFS (HR=2.16, p=0.01). CONCLUSION Osteopenia is an adverse prognostic factor for patients with resected PC.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study is to evaluate the correlation between bone mineral density (BMD) and other body composition markers, as well as, the impact of preoperative BMD on the surgical outcomes after resection of pancreatic cancer. METHODS This retrospective study included 275 patients who underwent surgical resection of pancreatic cancer in our institute between 2003 and 2016. Patients were divided according to BMD into low and normal groups and their postoperative outcomes were compared. Risk factors for mortality and tumor recurrence were also evaluated. RESULTS Patients with low BMD were older (P < 0.001), had a higher intramuscular adipose tissue content (P = 0.011) and higher visceral fat area (P = 0.003). The incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) (grade ≥ B) was higher in the low BMD group. No significant difference was observed between the two groups regarding overall survival and recurrence-free survival and low BMD was not a risk factor for mortality or tumor recurrence after resection of pancreatic cancer. CONCLUSION A low preoperative BMD was not found to be a risk factor for mortality or tumor recurrence after resection of pancreatic cancer; however, it was associated with a higher incidence of clinically relevant POPF.
