[PMID: 38819440 PMCID: PMC11141331 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.7251] [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: 09/24/2023] [Revised: 03/19/2024] [Accepted: 04/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024] Open
Abstract
AIM To explore the clinical factors associated with pathologic complete response (pCR) for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) patients treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) and develop a web-based dynamic nomogram. METHODS Retrospective analysis of patients with examination confirmed LARC from 2011 to 2022. Patients from the Union Hospital of Fujian Medical University were included as the training cohort (n = 1579) and Zhangzhou Hospital of Fujian Medical University as the external validation cohort (n = 246). RESULTS In the training cohort, after nCRT, 350 (22.2%) patients achieved pCR. More stomas were avoided in pCR patients (73.9% vs. 69.7%, p = 0.043). After a median follow-up time of 47.7 months (IQR 2-145) shown OS (5-year: 93.7% vs. 81.0%, HR = 0.310, 95%CI: 0.189-0.510, p < 0.001) and DFS (5-year: 91.2% vs. 75.0%, HR = 0.204, 95%CI: 0.216-0.484, p < 0.001) were significantly better among patients with pCR than non-pCR. Multivariable Logistic analysis shown pCR was significantly associated with Pre-CRT CEA (HR = 0.944, 95%CI: 0.921-0.968; p < 0.001), histopathology (HR = 4.608, 95%CI: 2.625-8.089; p < 0.001), Pre-CRT T stage (HR = 0.793, 95%CI: 0.634-0.993; p = 0.043), Pre-CRT N stage (HR = 0.727, 95%CI: 0.606-0.873; p = 0.001), Pre-CRT MRI EMVI (HR = 0.352, 95%CI: 0.262-0.473; p < 0.001), total neoadjuvant therapy (HR = 2.264, 95%CI: 1.280-4.004; p = 0.005). Meanwhile, the online version of the nomogram established in this study was publicized on an open-access website (URL: https://pcrpredict.shinyapps.io/LARC2/). The model predicted accuracy with a C-index of 0.73 (95% CI: 0.70-0.75), with an average C-index of 0.73 for the internal cross validation and 0.78 (95% CI: 0.72-0.83) for the external validation cohort, showing excellent model accuracy. Delong test results showed the model has an important gain value for clinical characteristics to predict pCR in rectal cancer. CONCLUSIONS Patients with pCR had a better prognosis, including OS and DFS, and were independently associated with Pre-CRT CEA, histopathology, Pre-CRT T/N stage, Pre-CRT MRI EMVI, and TNT. A web-based dynamic nomogram was successfully established for clinical use at any time.

Predictors of pathologic complete response in patients with residual flat mucosal lesions after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer. Chin J Cancer Res 2022; 34:383-394. [PMID: 36199540 PMCID: PMC9468014 DOI: 10.21147/j.issn.1000-9604.2022.04.06] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2022] [Accepted: 07/15/2022] [Indexed: 08/30/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The accurate prediction of tumor response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) remains challenging. Few studies have investigated pathologic complete response (ypCR) prediction in patients with residual flat mucosal lesions after treatment. This study aimed to identify variables for predicting ypCR in patients with residual flat mucosal lesions after nCRT for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). METHODS Data of patients with residual flat mucosal lesions after nCRT who underwent radical resection between 2009 and 2015 were retrospectively collected from the LARC database at Peking University Cancer Hospital. Univariate and multivariate analyses of the association between clinicopathological factors and ypCR were performed, and a nomogram was constructed by incorporating the significant predictors. RESULTS Of the 246 patients with residual flat mucosal lesions included in the final analysis, 56 (22.8%) had ypCR. Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that pretreatment cT stage (pre-cT) ≤T2 (P=0.016), magnetic resonance tumor regression grade (MR-TRG) 1-3 (P=0.001) and residual mucosal lesion depth =0 mm (P<0.001) were associated with a higher rate of ypCR. A nomogram was developed with a concordance index (C-index) of 0.759 and the calibration curve showed that the nomogram model had good predictive consistency. The follow-up time ranged from 3.0 to 113.3 months, with a median follow-up time of 63.77 months. The multivariate Cox regression model showed that the four variables in the nomogram model were not risk factors for disease-free survival (DFS) or overall survival (OS). CONCLUSIONS Completely flat mucosa, early cT stage and good MR-TRG were predictive factors for ypCR instead of DFS or OS in patients with LARC with residual flat mucosal lesions after nCRT. Endoscopic mucosal re-evaluation before surgery is important, as it may contribute to decision-making and facilitate nonoperative management or organ preservation.

Radiomic signature of the FOWARC trial predicts pathological response to neoadjuvant treatment in rectal cancer. J Transl Med 2021; 19:256. [PMID: 34112180 PMCID: PMC8194221 DOI: 10.1186/s12967-021-02919-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2021] [Accepted: 05/31/2021] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Background We aimed to develop a radiomic model based on pre-treatment computed tomography (CT) to predict the pathological complete response (pCR) in patients with rectal cancer after neoadjuvant treatment and tried to integrate our model with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based radiomic signature. Methods This was a secondary analysis of the FOWARC randomized controlled trial. Radiomic features were extracted from pre-treatment portal venous-phase contrast-enhanced CT images of 177 patients with rectal cancer. Patients were randomly allocated to the primary and validation cohort. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression was applied to select predictive features to build a radiomic signature for pCR prediction (rad-score). This CT-based rad-score was integrated with clinicopathological variables using gradient boosting machine (GBM) or MRI-based rad-score to construct comprehensive models for pCR prediction. The performance of CT-based model was evaluated and compared by receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. The LR (likelihood ratio) test and AIC (Akaike information criterion) were applied to compare CT-based rad-score, MRI-based rad-score and the combined rad-score. Results We developed a CT-based rad-score for pCR prediction and a gradient boosting machine (GBM) model was built after clinicopathological variables were incorporated, with improved AUCs of 0.997 [95% CI 0.990–1.000] and 0.822 [95% CI 0.649–0.995] in the primary and validation cohort, respectively. Moreover, we constructed a combined model of CT- and MRI-based radiomic signatures that achieve better AIC (75.49 vs. 81.34 vs.82.39) than CT-based rad-score (P = 0.005) and MRI-based rad-score (P = 0.003) alone did. Conclusions The CT-based radiomic models we constructed may provide a useful and reliable tool to predict pCR after neoadjuvant treatment, identify patients that are appropriate for a 'watch and wait' approach, and thus avoid overtreatment. Moreover, the CT-based radiomic signature may add predictive value to the MRI-based models for clinical decision making.

MRI radiomics in the prediction of therapeutic response to neoadjuvant therapy for locoregionally advanced rectal cancer: a systematic review. Expert Rev Anticancer Ther 2021; 21:425-449. [PMID: 33289435 DOI: 10.1080/14737140.2021.1860762] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Introduction: The standard of care for locoregionally advanced rectal cancer is neoadjuvant therapy (NA CRT) prior to surgery, of which 10-30% experience a complete pathologic response (pCR). There has been interest in using imaging features, also known as radiomics features, to predict pCR and potentially avoid surgery. This systematic review aims to describe the spectrum of MRI studies examining high-performing radiomic features that predict NA CRT response.Areas covered: This article reviews the use of pre-therapy MRI in predicting NA CRT response for patients with locoregionally advanced rectal cancer (T3/T4 and/or N1+). The primary outcome was to identify MRI radiomic studies; secondary outcomes included the power and the frequency of use of radiomic features.Expert opinion: Advanced models incorporating multiple radiomics categories appear to be the most promising. However, there is a need for standardization across studies with regards to; the definition of NA CRT response, imaging protocols, and radiomics features incorporated. Further studies are needed to validate current radiomics models and to fully ascertain the value of MRI radiomics in the response prediction for locoregionally advanced rectal cancer.

Cancer Manag Res 2020; 12:7375-7382. [PMID: 32884350 PMCID: PMC7443447 DOI: 10.2147/cmar.s255981] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2020] [Accepted: 07/10/2020] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE The overall survival (OS) of resected locally advanced rectal cancer patients who underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) was significantly different, even among patients with the same tumor stage. The nomogram was designed to predict OS of rectal cancer with nCRT and divide the patients into different risk groups. MATERIALS AND METHODS Based on materials from 911 rectal cancer patients with nCRT, the multivariable Cox regression model was carried out to select the significant prognostic factors for overall survival. And then, the nomogram was formulated using these independent prognostic factors. The discrimination of the nomogram was assessed by concordance index (C-index), calibration curves and time-dependent area under curve (AUC). The patients respective risk scores were calculated through the nomogram. The best cut-off risk score was calculated to stratify the patients. The survival curves of the two different risk cohorts were performed, which assessed the predictive ability of the nomogram. RESULTS Age, cT stage, pretreatment CEA, pretreatment CA19-9, surgery, posttreatment CEA, posttreatment CA19-9, pT stage, pN stage and adjuvant chemotherapy were selected for the construction of the nomogram. And then the nomogram was constructed with independent prognostic factors. The C-index of the nomogram was 0.724, which showed the nomogram provided good discernment. The acceptable agreement between the predictions of nomogram and actual observations was illustrated by calibration plots for 3-, 5- and 10-year OS in the cohort. Time-dependent AUC with 6-fold cross-validation also showed consistent results of the nomogram. Risk group stratification confirmed that the nomogram had great capacity for distinguishing the prognosis. CONCLUSION The nomogram was developed and validated to predict overall survival of resected locally advanced rectal cancer patients with nCRT. The proposed nomogram might help clinicians to develop individualized treatment strategies. However, further studies are warranted to optimize the nomogram by finding out other unknown prognostic factors, and more external validation is still required.

The impact of circumferential tumour location on the clinical outcome of rectal cancer patients managed with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by total mesorectal excision. EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF SURGICAL ONCOLOGY 2020; 46:1118-1123. [PMID: 32113887 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejso.2020.02.034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2019] [Revised: 01/09/2020] [Accepted: 02/20/2020] [Indexed: 01/04/2023]
Abstract
AIM To investigate the impact of circumferential tumour location on neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) response and its prognostic value for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) patients after CRT and surgery. METHODS A retrospective study was performed on 486 patients with LARC who received neoadjuvant CRT and surgical treatment. The rate of pathological complete response (pCR) and survival among patients with anteriorly, laterally, and posteriorly located tumours were compared. Logistic regression was performed to identify pCR predictors. RESULTS The anterior tumours exhibited the highest pCR rate of 26.7%, which was slightly higher than the 20.0% and 12.3% for lateral and posterior tumours, respectively (P = 0.006). The 5-year Overall survival (OS) rates after CRT were similar among the anterior, lateral, and posterior groups (anterior vs lateral vs posterior: 81.1% vs 89.9% vs 84.1%, P = 0.6368). Multivariate analysis revealed that the circumferential tumour location, post-CRT serum CEA and post-CRT tumour thickness measured by MRI were independently correlated with achieving pCR. CONCLUSION This study is the first, to the best of our knowledge, to show that anterior LARC exhibited the highest pCR rate after neoadjuvant CRT. Patients with anterior rectal cancers do not have different prognoses from those with non-anterior cancers if they undergo neoadjuvant CRT.

Abstract
Objective To explore the value of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) in predicting downstaging to stage 0–I cancer after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) in locally advanced rectal cancer. Materials and methods We respectively investigated pretreatment CEA, pretreatment CA19-9, posttreatment CEA, posttreatment CA19-9, pre–post-CA19-9 ratio, and pre–post-CEA ratio in 674 patients with locally advanced rectal cancer receiving nCRT and determined the patients’ thresholds by using the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. The association between downstaging (stage 0–I after nCRT), pathological complete response, and clinicopathological parameters was evaluated using the Pearson χ2 test. The clinicopathological parameters which were found to be significantly associated with downstaging were analyzed by logistic regression models and were incorporated into a scoring system. Results Multivariate analysis showed that pretreatment CA19-9 level, posttreatment CEA level, pre–post-CEA ratio, and pre–post-CA19-9 ratio were significantly correlated with downstaging. Area under the curve of the scoring system was higher than that of parameters alone. Conclusion The 4-factor scoring system with CA19-9 level, posttreatment CEA level, pre– post-CEA ratio, and pre–post-CA19-9 ratio is of more value in predicting downstaging to stage 0–I patients with locally advanced rectal cancer after nCRT than using the parameters alone.
