Plasma D-Dimer Level Correlates with Age, Metastasis, Recurrence, Tumor-Node-Metastasis Classification (TNM), and Treatment of Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Patients. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 2021:9623571. [PMID: 34712737 PMCID: PMC8548094 DOI: 10.1155/2021/9623571] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2021] [Revised: 07/06/2021] [Accepted: 08/11/2021] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
Objective This study is aimed at teasing out the correlation of plasma D-dimer (D-D) levels to age, metastasis, TNM stage (tumor-node-metastasis classification), and treatment in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients of different ages, to facilitate early diagnosis of hypercoagulable state, choose appropriate treatment, and use appropriate anticoagulants. Hence, thrombosis and complications caused by excessive anticoagulants can be prevented; thrombus or disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and other complications in elderly patients with NSCLC can be reduced or avoided. By monitoring the level of plasma D-D in patients with NSCLC, recurrence and metastasis can be predicted in the early stage and the TNM stage can be evaluated. Methods A total of 670 patients with NSCLC were selected in Shanxi Bethune Hospital from March 2014 to October 2020 as the experimental group, and 950 healthy people were selected from the physical examination center of the same hospital as the control group. The data of patients with NSCLC diagnosed for the first time without any treatment were collected and grouped based on metastasis, TNM stage, treatment, and pathological type, and the correlation with plasma D-D level was analyzed. Plasma D-D levels were measured by immunoturbidimetry on an ACL TOP 700 Automatic Coagulation Analyzer. The patients were further divided into two groups according to different treatment methods, and the differences in plasma D-D levels between patients receiving chemotherapy and those receiving targeted therapy in different treatment cycles were analyzed. The correlation between D-D levels and age in healthy controls was analyzed. The difference in D-D levels between NSCLC patients and healthy controls of the same age was analyzed. Results All data of both the experimental group and the control group were normally distributed. The average age of the experimental group was 61.31 ± 6.23 (range: 36-92) years. The average age of the control group was 61.14 ± 11.12 (range: 35-85) years. There was no significant difference in gender between the experimental group and the control group (p > 0.05). The plasma D-D level of NSCLC patients was significantly higher than that of the healthy controls (p < 0.05). No significant difference in plasma D-D level was found between NSCLC patients of different genders, and the finding was similar between healthy controls of different genders (p > 0.05). Significant difference in the D-D level was found between the groups of 30-59 years and 60-69 years (p < 0.05), between groups of 60-69 years and 70-79 years (p < 0.05), and between 70-79 years and ≥80 years (p < 0.05). The plasma D-D level of patients ≤ 79 years old increased with age, but it decreased in those over 80 years old. According to Pearson correlation analysis, there was a positive correlation between the D-D level and the age of NSCLC patients under 79 years old (p < 0.05). The differences in D-D levels between the four age groups were statistically significant (p < 0.05), showing an upward trend of the D-D level in healthy controls with the increase of age. There were statistically significant differences in D-D levels between NSCLC patients and healthy controls of the matching age group (p < 0.05), suggesting that NSCLC patients had significantly higher D-D levels than healthy people of the same age group. The differences in D-D levels between NSCLC patients without metastasis, NSCLC patients with metastasis, and healthy people were statistically significant (p < 0.05). The patients with metastasis had the highest D-D level, and healthy people had the lowest D-D level. The difference in plasma D-D levels between patients of different TNM stages was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Patients with an advanced TNM stage tended to have higher D-D levels. The TNM stage and D-D level of NSCLC patients changed significantly before and after treatment. An earlier stage was related to a more obvious change in D-D levels after treatment with a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05). A more advanced stage was associated with a smaller change in the D-D level after treatment, with no statistically significant difference (p > 0.05). The plasma D-D levels before and after four cycles of chemotherapy or targeted therapy were higher than those of the healthy control group, and the differences were statistically significant (p < 0.05). The D-D level of patients after chemotherapy was significantly lower than that before chemotherapy (p < 0.05), but there was no significant difference before and after targeted therapy (p > 0.05). The D-D level after the first cycle of chemotherapy was higher than that before chemotherapy. The level of D-D after the third and fourth cycles was significantly lower than that before chemotherapy (p < 0.05). No significant difference was found between the D-D level before treatment and that after four cycles of chemotherapy (p > 0.05). Conclusion It is suggested that coagulation test indexes should be included to evaluate the treatment regimen for NSCLC patients. Most patients with NSCLC are in a hypercoagulable state, which is related to age, tumor invasion and metastasis, recurrence, and treatment. Regular monitoring of plasma D-D levels can facilitate early diagnosis of a hypercoagulable state and timely and appropriate use of anticoagulants, to avoid or reduce complications such as venous thromboembolism in NSCLC patients and to prevent the risk of bleeding caused by excessive anticoagulants. Clinicians can choose the treatment with less harm and maximum benefit for NSCLC patients based on the plasma D-D level. When in a hypercoagulable state, the body's blood viscosity increases, making it more conducive to the growth and infiltration of tumor cells. Our study shows that the recurrence and metastasis of NSCLC are related to coagulation indexes, which provides a theoretical basis for the early diagnosis and treatment of recurrent and metastatic NSCLC.

Abstract
背景与目的 静脉血栓栓塞症(venous thromboembolism, VTE)是一种公认的在肺癌患者中有较高发病率和死亡率的并发症。本研究目的是明确我们中心肺癌患者入院时下肢深静脉血栓(lower extremity venous thrombosis, LEDVT)的发生率,并揭示其入院时LEDVT发生的危险因素。 方法 选择天津医科大学总医院肺部肿瘤外科在2017年7月-2017年12月收治的231例肺癌患者,入院时即行双下肢静脉彩超检查,以分析肺癌患者LEDVT的发生率;同时,对肺良性疾病患者入院时LEDVT的发生率进行比较。在肺癌患者中,进一步分析LEDVT发生与其临床特征的关系,寻找LEDVT发生的可能危险因素;同时,亦分析这些患者的血浆D-二聚体(D-Dimmer)、纤维蛋白原(fibrinogen, FIB)、凝血酶时间(thrombin time, TT)、活化部分凝血酶时间(activated partial thrombin time, APTT)、凝血酶原时间(prothrombin time, PT)及血小板(platelet, PLT)之间的差异。 结果 在231例肺癌患者中,入院时发生LEDVT者12例,其发生率为5.2%(12/231);而77例肺良性疾病患者入院时均未查见LEDVT的发生,提示肺癌患者入院时LEDVT的发生率明显高于肺良性疾病(P < 0.05)。在肺癌患者中进一步分析发现,伴有远处转移(包括N3淋巴结转移)的肺癌患者较不伴有转移者更易发生LEDVT(11.29%, 7/62 vs 2.96%, 5/169)(P < 0.05)。肺癌LEDVT组患者入院时的D-Dimer的中位值为1, 534mg/L(369 mg/L-10, 000 mg/L),明显高于非LEDVT组患者(539 mg/L, 126 mg/L-1, 000 mg/L)(P < 0.05);而FIB、TT、APTT、PT和PLT在两组患者之间无明显统计学差异(P > 0.05)。 结论 我们中心肺癌患者入院时LEDVT总体发生率约为5%,明显高于肺良性疾病患者。入院时伴有远处转移(包括N3淋巴结转移)的肺癌患者更易发生LEDVT,其中,D-Dimer值较高的患者应考虑到VTE事件发生的可能。

Abstract
目前,肺癌的发病率和死亡率在全世界范围内居首位。静脉血栓栓塞症(venous thromboembolism, VTE)是一种公认的肺癌并发症,也是肺癌患者的主要死因之一。癌症自身因素、患者自身因素以及治疗相关因素都是导致肺癌患者发生VTE的主要原因。肿瘤细胞可产生组织因子(tissue factor, TF)、癌性促凝物质(cancer procoagulant, CP)、炎症因子和细胞因子,从而直接激活凝血;其中TF过度表达是肿瘤患者血栓形成的主要机制之一。2016年美国胸外科医师协会(American College of Chest Physicians, ACCP)发布的第10版肿瘤患者VTE防治指南(AT-10)指出,抗凝治疗是肺癌患者合并VTE的基本治疗措施;其中低分子肝素(low molecular-weight-heparin, LWMH)被认为是首选的抗凝药物,但要注意出血风险。

Abstract
Earlier published studies investigating the association between polymorphisms in the angiotensinogen gene and lung cancer risk showed no consistent results. In this study, we have summarized all currently available data to examine the correlation by meta-analysis. Case-control studies addressing the association being examined were identified through Embase, the Cochrane Library, ISI Web of Science (Web of Knowledge), Google Scholar, PubMed, and CNKI databases. Risk of lung cancer (odds ratio [OR] and 95% confidence interval [CI]) was estimated with the fixed or the random effects model assuming homozygous, allele, heterozygous, dominant, and recessive models for all angiotensinogen polymorphisms. We identified a total of 10 articles in this meta-analysis, including 7 for Leu84Phe, 4 for Ile143Val, and 3 for Leu53Leu. In the meta-analysis of Leu84Phe polymorphism, the homozygous model provided an OR of 1.44 (Phe/Phe vs Ile/Ile: OR = 1.44, 95% CI = 1.04-1.99, P values for heterogeneity test (Q-test) [P(Het)] = 0.382). The significantly increased risk was similarly indicated in the recessive model (Phe/Phe vs Phe/Ile + Ile/Ile: OR = 1.41, 95% CI = 1.02-1.95, P(Het) = 0.381). We also observed a positive association in the Caucasian subgroup. The heterozygous model and the dominant model tested for the Ile143Val polymorphism showed a marginally increased risk (Ile/Val vs Ile/Ile: OR = 1.16, 95% CI = 1.00-1.36, P(Het) = 0.323; Val/Val + Ile/Val vs Ile/Ile: OR = 1.15, 95% CI = 0.99-1.34, P(Het) = 0.253). These data suggest that Leu84Phe and Ile143Val polymorphisms in the angiotensinogen gene may be useful biomarkers for lung cancer in some specific populations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several components of overall lung carcinogenesis, carcinogen metabolic and DNA repair pathways may be involved in individual genetic susceptibility to lung cancer. METHODS We evaluated the role of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A1 rs4646903 and rs104894, glutathione S-transferase (GST) M1 and GSTT1 deletion polymorphisms, GSTP1 rs1695, x-ray repair, excision repair cross-complementing group 2 (ERCC2) rs13181, complementing defective in Chinese hamster 1 rs25487, and XRCC3 rs861539 in a case-control study comprising 462 lung cancer cases and 379 controls in a Japanese population. Unconditional logistic regression was used to assess the adjusted odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). RESULTS CYP1A1 rs4646903 (OR = 1.72, 95% CI = 1.25-2.38), rs1048943 (OR = 1.40, 95% CI = 1.02-1.92), the GSTM1 deletion polymorphism (OR = 1.38, 95% CI = 1.01-1.89), GSTP1 rs1695 (OR =1.48, 95% CI = 1.04-2.11), ERCC2 rs13181 (OR = 1.89, 95% CI = 1.28-2.78), and Chinese hamster 1 rs25487 (OR = 1.54, 95% CI = 1.12-2.13) were associated with lung cancer risk whereas the GSTT1 deletion polymorphism and XRCC3 rs861539 were not. A pertinent combination of multiple "at-risk" genotypes of CYP1A1 rs4646903, the GSTM1 deletion polymorphism and ERCC2 rs13181 was at a 5.94-fold (95% CI = 2.77-12.7) increased risk of lung cancer. CONCLUSIONS A pertinent combination of multiple at-risk genotypes may detect a high-risk group. Further studies are warranted to verify our findings.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality in Mexico and worldwide. In the past decade, there has been an increase in the number of lung cancer cases in young people, which suggests an important role for genetic background in the etiology of this disease. In this study, we genetically characterized 16 polymorphisms in 12 low penetrance genes (AhR, CYP1A1, CYP2E1, EPHX1, GSTM1, GSTT1, GSTPI, XRCC1, ERCC2, MGMT, CCND1 and TP53) in 382 healthy Mexican Mestizos as the first step in elucidating the genetic structure of this population and identifying high risk individuals. All of the genotypes analyzed were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, but different degrees of linkage were observed for polymorphisms in the CYP1A1 and EPHX1 genes. The genetic variability of this population was distributed in six clusters that were defined based on their genetic characteristics. The use of a polygenic model to assess the additive effect of low penetrance risk alleles identified combinations of risk genotypes that could be useful in predicting a predisposition to lung cancer. Estimation of the level of genetic susceptibility showed that the individual calculated risk value (iCRV) ranged from 1 to 16, with a higher iCRV indicating a greater genetic susceptibility to lung cancer.

Abstract
Polymorphisms in genes coding for enzymes that activate tobacco lung carcinogens may generate inter-individual differences in lung cancer risk. Previous studies had limited sample sizes, poor exposure characterization, and a few single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) tested in candidate genes. We analyzed 25 SNPs (some previously untested) in 2101 primary lung cancer cases and 2120 population controls from the Environment And Genetics in Lung cancer Etiology (EAGLE) study from six phase I metabolic genes, including cytochrome P450s, microsomal epoxide hydrolase, and myeloperoxidase. We evaluated the main genotype effects and genotype-smoking interactions in lung cancer risk overall and in the major histology subtypes. We tested the combined effect of multiple SNPs on lung cancer risk and on gene expression. Findings were prioritized based on significance thresholds and consistency across different analyses, and accounted for multiple testing and prior knowledge. Two haplotypes in EPHX1 were significantly associated with lung cancer risk in the overall population. In addition, CYP1B1 and CYP2A6 polymorphisms were inversely associated with adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma risk, respectively. Moreover, the association between CYP1A1 rs2606345 genotype and lung cancer was significantly modified by intensity of cigarette smoking, suggesting an underling dose-response mechanism. Finally, increasing number of variants at CYP1A1/A2 genes revealed significant protection in never smokers and risk in ever smokers. Results were supported by differential gene expression in non-tumor lung tissue samples with down-regulation of CYP1A1 in never smokers and up-regulation in smokers from CYP1A1/A2 SNPs. The significant haplotype associations emphasize that the effect of multiple SNPs may be important despite null single SNP-associations, and warrants consideration in genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Our findings emphasize the necessity of post-GWAS fine mapping and SNP functional assessment to further elucidate cancer risk associations.

Abstract
Apoptosis plays a role in the elimination of DNA-damaged cells thus protecting the host from cancer development. Some data indicate that normal variations within the sequence of apoptotic genes may lead to suboptimal apoptotic capacity and therefore increased cancer risk. We tested 19 coding apoptotic gene SNPs in 2-stage molecular epidemiological study. For the preliminary sorting of SNP candidates, we employed a "comparison of extremes" approach, where 111 patients with highly pronounced LC susceptibility (non-smokers or young-onset light smokers) were analyzed against 110 subjects with the evidence for LC tolerance (elderly tumor-free heavy smokers). Three genotypes demonstrated possible association with LC risk (Leu/Leu-homozygotes for Casp5 Val318Leu versus other genotypes: OR=2.47 (95% CI: 1.07-5.69), p=0.03; His-carriers for Casp8 His302Asp: OR=2.26 (95% CI: 1.18-4.31), p=0.02; Arg-carriers for DR4 Lys441Arg: OR=1.89 (95% CI: 1.05-3.40), p=0.03), and therefore were selected for the validation. The extended study included 2 case-control series, namely subjects from Russia (351 LC cases and 538 controls) and Moldova (296 LC cases and 295 controls). Interestingly, all three candidate genotypes consistently demonstrated OR above 1 both in Russian and in Moldovian groups. Although the combined Mantel-Haenszel analysis yet failed to reach statistical significance (OR=1.22 (95% CI: 0.90-1.65), p=0.21; OR=1.17 (95% CI: 0.92-1.50), p=0.21; OR=1.19 (95% CI: 0.95-1.51), p=0.14, respectively), the obtained data indicate that Casp5, Casp8 and DR4 gene polymorphisms may deserve consideration in large-scale case-control studies of LC risk modifiers.
