Abstract
PURPOSE To establish a nomogram integrating radiomics features based on ultrasound images and clinical parameters for predicting the prognosis of patients with endometrial cancer (EC). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 175 eligible patients with ECs were enrolled in our study between January 2011 and April 2018. They were divided into a training cohort (n = 122) and a validation cohort (n = 53). Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression were applied for selection of key features, and a radiomics score (rad-score) was calculated. Patients were stratified into high risk and low-risk groups according to the rad-score. Univariate and multivariable COX regression analysis was used to select independent clinical parameters for disease-free survival (DFS). A combined model based on radiomics features and clinical parameters was ultimately established, and the performance was quantified with respect to discrimination and calibration. RESULTS Nine features were selected from 1130 features using LASSO regression in the training cohort, which yielded an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.823 and 0.792 to predict DFS in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. Patients with a higher rad-score were significantly associated with worse DFS. The combined nomogram, which was composed of clinically significant variables and radiomics features, showed a calibration and favorable performance for DFS prediction (AUC 0.893 and 0.885 in the training and validation cohorts, respectively). CONCLUSION The combined nomogram could be used as a tool in predicting DFS and may assist individualized decision making and clinical treatment.

Turk J Med Sci 2021; 51:335-341. [PMID: 32979897 PMCID: PMC7991883 DOI: 10.3906/sag-2005-331] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2020] [Accepted: 09/26/2020] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Background/aim To investigate the utility of preoperative serum cancer antigen 125 (CA 125) levels in type 1 endometrial carcinoma (EC) as a marker for determining poor prognostic factors and survival. Material and methods All patients with endometrial cancer, who had been treated between 2012 and 2020, were retrospectively reviewed, and finally, 256 patients with type 1 endometrium carcinoma were included in the study. The relationship between the clinicopathological characteristics, CA 125 level, and survival rates were analyzed. The cut-off value for the preoperative serum CA 125 level was defined as 16 IU/L. Results The median serum CA 125 levels were significantly higher in patients with deep myometrial invasion, lymph node metastasis, lymphovascular space invasion, cervical stromal and adnexal involvement, advanced stage, positive peritoneal cytology, recurrence, and adjuvant therapy requirement. Serum CA 125 cut-off values determined according to clinicopathologic factors ranged from 15.3 to 22.9 IU/L (sensitivity 61%–77%, specificity 52%–73%). The disease-specific survival rate was significantly higher in patients with CA 125 levels < 16 IU/L (P = 0.047). Conclusion The data showed that choosing a lower threshold value for the CA 125 level (16 IU/L) instead of 35 IU/L, could be more useful in type 1 EC patients with negative prognostic factors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study was to explore the prognostic value of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) expression in endometrial cancer (EC). METHODS We compared CTGF expression in 198 samples from patients with endometrial cancer and 50 samples from patients with healthy endometrial tissues as determined by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Expression of CTGF was significantly higher in endometrial cancers as compared to normal endometrial tissues. Positive CTGF expression displayed a strong association with CA125 level, histological grade, depth of myometrial invasion and the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage. Our findings revealed histological grade, depth of myometrial invasion, FIGO stage, vascular/lymphatic invasion, and the CTGF expression are related to 5-year survival in patients with endometrial cancer. Positive CTGF expression, lymph node status, as well as vascular/lymphatic invasion, were identified as independent prognostic factors in endometrial cancer. CONCLUTIONS Over-expression of CTGF is an independent prognostic factor that will allow the successful differentiation of high-risk population from the group of patients with stage III-IV endometrial cancer. The up-regulation of CTGF may contribute to the progression of endometrial cancer and serve as a new prognostic biomarker in patients with endometrial cancer survival.

Abstract
Objective: This study was designed to identify genetic mutation in mucinous carcinoma of the ovary of the patients
in King Chulalongkorn Memorial hospital, Bangkok, Thailand and study the relationship between genetic mutation
and patients’ prognosis. Methods: Fifty cases of primary mucinous carcinoma of the ovary were selected. DNA was
analyzed for genetic mutation using ColoCarta Panel v1.0 and MassArray® System. Demographic data and clinical
information of the participants were reviewed from electronic medical records and government data services. Results:
Median of disease-free survival is 171.33 +/- 9.04 months and the median overall survival is 171.37 +/- 9.03 months.
Twelve percent of the participants had recurrence and all of recurrent cases died from disease or its complication. We
found three mutations which were KRAS (27 cases, 54%), PIK3CA (4 cases, 8%) and BRAF (1 case, 2%). Among the
KRAS-mutated patients, the majority of the cases (25 cases, 92.6%) were in stage I. Recurrence and disease related
mortality were not observed in the KRAS mutated patients. Conclusion: The genetic mutation analysis found three
mutations which were KRAS 27 cases (54%), PIK3CA 4 cases (8%) and BRAF 1 case (2%) The ovarian mucinous
carcinoma patients with KRAS mutation in our study showed excellent prognosis.

Gynecol Oncol 2017; 148:485-490. [PMID: 29290489 DOI: 10.1016/j.ygyno.2017.12.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2017] [Revised: 12/22/2017] [Accepted: 12/26/2017] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the risk of endometrial cancer (EC) and lymph node involvement in patients with a preoperative diagnosis of "AH-only" versus "AH - cannot rule out carcinoma" and to study the value of SLN mapping. METHODS We reviewed all patients with a preoperative diagnosis of atypical hyperplasia, who underwent primary surgery with SLN mapping followed by pelvic lymphadenectomy. Sensitivity and negative predictive value (NPV) of SLN and rates of endometrial cancer were calculated. RESULTS Overall, 64/120 (53.3%) patients were found to have EC on final pathology: 58 stage IA, 3 IB, and 3 IIIC1. In patients with preoperative diagnosis of "AH", 44.3% (31/70) had EC on final pathology compared to 66% (33/50) in patients with "AH - cannot rule out cancer" (p=0.02). Overall, 3.3% of the patients (4/120) had lymph node involvement. In patients with EC with a pre-operative diagnosis of "AH", none had lymph node metastasis (0/31), compared to 12.1% (4/33) in patients with "AH - cannot rule out cancer" (p=0.06). Elevated preoperative CA125 levels (>25U/mL) were statistically associated with the risk of lymph node metastasis on final pathology (p=0.024). Unilateral and bilateral SLN detection occurred in 93.7% and 78.1% respectively. In patients with EC and bilateral SLN mapping, sensitivity and NPV were respectively 66.6% and 97.9%. There was one false negative (ITCs in non-SLN). CONCLUSION Our data indicate that the risk of lymph node involvement in patients with a preoperative diagnosis of "AH-only" is null. Lymph node assessment could be omitted in those patients. Conversely this risk is significant in patients with "AH - cannot rule out cancer". SLN mapping could be a valuable staging procedure in these patients.
