Research on the Guiding Effect of CTCs on Postoperative Adjuvant Therapy for Patients with Early Stage Endometrial Cancer. JOURNAL OF ONCOLOGY 2022; 2022:4327977. [PMID: 35685426 PMCID: PMC9174000 DOI: 10.1155/2022/4327977] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2022] [Accepted: 03/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Endometrial tumor has increased in occurrence and fatality in China during the last 11 years, owing to inconsistent hormone use and modifications in people living surrounding and lifestyles. One of the three main gynaecological tumors is endometrial carcinoma (EC). Longer waiting duration of operation was linked to a lower chance of sustainability in endometrial tumor patients. Despite the great sustainability rate of endometrial tumor, only around 46 percent of patients undergo adjuvant treatment. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs), circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), and circulating free DNA (cfDNA) are the most investigated tumor noninvasive indicators. These circulating biomarkers are important in the knowledge of metastasis and tumorigenesis, and they could help researchers comprehend how cancer dynamics evolve throughout the therapy and illness development. In patients with solid tumor, the existence of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the peripheral blood is linked to a weak prognosis. However, there is a scarcity of information on how to detect CTCs in endometrial cancer (EC). Hence, in this paper, we analyze the guiding effect of CTCs on postoperative adjuvant treatment for sufferers with initial phase endometrial tumor using multi-cox regression method. The dataset is selected and the blood samples are collected using plasma separation method. The CTC is detected using differential diagnosis. The morphology and biological features, Immunocytochemistry, Genomic analysis, Transcriptomic analysis, Proteomic analysis, and molecular analysis are performed and the outcomes are evaluated.

Prognosis and adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with positive peritoneal cytology in stage IA endometrial cancer. Sci Rep 2022; 12:166. [PMID: 34997003 PMCID: PMC8741827 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-03975-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2021] [Accepted: 12/06/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
This study evaluated the influence of positive peritoneal cytology (PPC) on the prognosis of patients with stage IA endometrial cancer, and the usefulness of adjuvant chemotherapy in their treatment. We retrospectively analyzed the data of patients with stage IA endometrial cancer admitted in our hospital between 2005 and 2015. Among 989 patients who underwent peritoneal cytology, 135 (13.7%) had PPC. Multivariate analysis extracted several independent risk factors for recurrence in stage IA patients, including those with PPC. Adjuvant chemotherapy did not cause a significant difference in the 5-year relapse-free survival rate in patients with PPC (p = 0.78). Similarly, the 5-year recurrence-free survival rate with or without chemotherapy was not different among type II cancer patients (p = 0.11). However, the baseline risk of 5-year relapse-free survival without chemotherapy in patients with PPC and type II was very low (66.7%). While PPC was an independent risk factor for recurrence in stage IA endometrial cancer, adjuvant chemotherapy did not influence the survival rate in patients with PPC. While it is controversial whether adjuvant chemotherapy should be administered in stage IA uterine cancer with only PPC as a prognostic factor, it should be considered for early-stage patients who have multiple risk factors for recurrence.

Abstract
Endometrial carcinoma is the most frequent cancer of the reproductive female organs. Most endometrial cancers are diagnosed at early stage (75%). Treatment options depend on pathogenetic, histopathologic and clinical characteristic at the diagnosis. To improve patient management in the near future, recent research has focused on new molecular features; evidence has shown that these give a better definition of patient prognosis and can help in tailoring adjuvant treatments by identifying specific subgroups of patients whose tumors may benefit from specific therapeutic approaches. In this review, we will focus on current knowledge of adjuvant treatment of endometrial carcinoma, using a prognostic-risk group stratification based on pathogenetic, clinical and molecular features, and will take a look at the ongoing trials that will further change the therapeutic approach in coming years.

[PMID: 34246261 PMCID: PMC8272318 DOI: 10.1186/s12935-021-02038-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2021] [Accepted: 06/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Uterus corpus endometrial cancer (UCEC) is the main malignant tumor in gynecology, with a high degree of heterogeneity, especially in terms of prognosis and immunotherapy efficacy. DNA methylation is one of the most important epigenetic modifications. Studying DNA methylation can help predict the prognosis of cancer patients and provide help for clinical treatment. Our research aims to discover whether abnormal DNA methylation can predict the prognosis of UCEC and reflect the patient's tumor immune microenvironment. Patients and methods The clinical data, DNA methylation data, gene expression data and somatic mutation data of UCEC patients were all downloaded from the TCGA database. The MethylMix algorithm was used to integrate DNA methylation data and mRNA expression data. Univariate Cox regression analysis, Multivariate Cox regression analysis, and Lasso Cox regression analysis were used to determine prognostic DNA methylation-driven genes and to construct an independent prognostic index (MDS). ROC curve analysis and Kaplan–Meier survival curve analysis were used to evaluate the predictive ability of MDS. GSEA analysis was used to explore possible mechanisms that contribute to the heterogeneity of the prognosis of UCEC patients. Results 3 differential methylation-driven genes (DMDGs) (PARVG, SYNE4 and CDO1) were considered as predictors of poor prognosis in UCEC. An independent prognostic index was finally established based on 3 DMDGs. From the results of ROC curve analysis and survival curve analysis, MDS showed excellent prognostic ability in TCGA-UCEC. A new nomogram based on MDS and other prognostic clinical indicators has also been successfully established. The C-index of the nomogram for OS prediction was 0.764 (95% CI = 0.702–0.826). GSEA analysis suggests that there were differences in immune-related pathways among patients with different prognosis. The abundance of M2 macrophages and M0 macrophages were significantly enhanced in the high-risk group while T cells CD8, Eosinophils and Neutrophils were markedly elevated in the low-risk group. Meanwhile, patients in the low-risk group had higher levels of immunosuppressant expression, higher tumor mutational burden and immunophenoscore (IPS) scores. Joint survival analysis revealed that 7 methylation-driven genes could be independent prognostic factors for overall survival for UCEC. Conclusion We have successfully established a risk model based on 3 DMDGs, which could accurately predict the prognosis of patients with UCEC and reflect the tumor immune microenvironment.

Adjuvant vaginal interventional radiotherapy in early-stage non-endometrioid carcinoma of corpus uteri: a systematic review. J Contemp Brachytherapy 2021; 13:231-243. [PMID: 33897798 PMCID: PMC8060961 DOI: 10.5114/jcb.2021.105292] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2020] [Accepted: 02/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose This systematic review focused on rare histological types of corpus uteri malignancy, including uterine carcinosarcoma (UCS), uterine clear cell carcinoma (UCCC), and uterine papillary serous carcinoma (UPSC), and it is proposed to assist with clinical decision-making. Adjuvant treatment decisions must be made based on available evidences. We mainly investigated the role of vaginal interventional radiotherapy (VIRt) in UCS, UCCC, and UPSC managements. Material and methods A systematic research using PubMed and Cochrane library was conducted to identify full articles evaluating the efficacy of VIRt in early-stage UPSC, UCCC, and UCS. A search in ClinicalTrials.gov was performed in order to detect ongoing or recently completed trials as well as in PROSPERO for ongoing or recently completed systematic reviews. Survival outcomes and toxicity rates were obtained. Results All studies were retrospective. For UCS, the number of evaluated patients was 432. The 2- to 5-year average local control (LC) was 91% (range, 74.2-96%), disease-free survival (DFS) 88% (range, 82-94%), overall survival (OS) 79% (range, 53.8-84.3%), the average 5-year cancer-specific survival (CSS) was 70% (range, 70-94%), and G3-G4 toxicity was 0%. For UCCC, the number of investigated patients was 335 (UCCC – 124, mixed – 211), with an average 5-year LC of 100%, DFS of 83% (range, 82-90%), OS of 93% (range, 83-100%), and G3-G4 toxicity of 0%. For UPSC, the number of examined patients was 1,092 (UPSC – 866, mixed – 226). The average 5-year LC was 97% (range, 87.1-100%), DFS 84% (range, 74.7-95.6%), OS 93% (range, 71.9-100%), CSS 89% (range, 78.9-94%), and G3-G4 toxicity was 0%. Conclusions These data suggest that in adequately selected early-stage UPSC and UCCC patients, VIRt alone may be suitable in women who underwent surgical staging and received adjuvant chemotherapy. In early-stage UCS, a multidisciplinary therapeutic approach has to be planned, considering high-rate of pelvic and distant relapses.

Abstract
A European consensus conference on endometrial carcinoma was held in 2014 to produce multidisciplinary evidence-based guidelines on selected questions. Given the large body of literature on the management of endometrial carcinoma published since 2014, the European Society of Gynaecological Oncology (ESGO), the European SocieTy for Radiotherapy & Oncology (ESTRO) and the European Society of Pathology (ESP) jointly decided to update these evidence-based guidelines and to cover new topics in order to improve the quality of care for women with endometrial carcinoma across Europe and worldwide. ESGO/ESTRO/ESP nominated an international multidisciplinary development group consisting of practicing clinicians and researchers who have demonstrated leadership and expertise in the care and research of endometrial carcinoma (27 experts across Europe). To ensure that the guidelines are evidence-based, the literature published since 2014, identified from a systematic search was reviewed and critically appraised. In the absence of any clear scientific evidence, judgment was based on the professional experience and consensus of the development group. The guidelines are thus based on the best available evidence and expert agreement. Prior to publication, the guidelines were reviewed by 191 independent international practitioners in cancer care delivery and patient representatives. The guidelines comprehensively cover endometrial carcinoma staging, definition of prognostic risk groups integrating molecular markers, pre- and intra-operative work-up, fertility preservation, management for early, advanced, metastatic, and recurrent disease and palliative treatment. Principles of radiotherapy and pathological evaluation are also defined.

Abstract
Purpose Serous adenocarcinoma (uterine serous carcinoma – USC) is a rare and aggressive histologic subtype of endometrial cancer, with a high-rate of recurrence and poor prognosis. The adjuvant treatment for stage I patients is unclear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of stage I USC treated exclusively with chemotherapy plus vaginal brachytherapy (VBT). Material and methods A systematic research using PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane library was conducted to identify full articles evaluating the efficacy of VBT in patients with stage I USC. A search in ClinicalTrials.gov was performed in order to detect ongoing or recently completed trials, and in PROSPERO for searching ongoing or recently completed systematic reviews. Results All studies were retrospective and 364 of evaluated patients were found. The average local control was 97.5% (range, 91-100%), the disease free-survival was 88% (range, 82-94%), the overall survival was 93% (range, 72-100%), the specific cancer survival was 89.4% (range, 84.8-94%), and the G3-G4 toxicity was 0-8%. Conclusions These data support the concept that in adequately selected patients, VBT alone may be a suitable radiotherapy technique in women with stage I USC who underwent surgical staging and received adjuvant chemotherapy.
