Abstract
Abstract
Background: Resection of colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRCLM) with curative intent is beneficial in approximately 30% of cases, indicating the need for prognostic biomarkers to improve clinical management of CRCLM patients. Protein expression levels of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2; also known as cyclooxygenase-2 or COX2) have been associated with carcinogenesis, metastases and survival. EGFR and PTGS2 are targets for molecular drugs and exhibit complex molecular interactions.
Aim: We aimed to determine the prognostic value of EGFR and PTGS2 expression in CRCLM of patients who underwent liver resection.
Patients and methods: Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded CRCLM tissue and corresponding primary tumor specimens from a multi-institutional cohort of patients who underwent liver resection between 1990 and 2010 were incorporated into tissue microarrays (TMAs). TMAs were stained for EGFR and PTGS2 by immunohistochemistry and a hazard rate ratio (HRR) for the association between expression in CRCLM and overall survival (OS) was calculated. Results were validated by 500-fold cross-validation.
Results: EGFR expression could be evaluated in 323 patients and PTGS2 expression in 351 patients. EGFR expression in CRCLM was associated with poor prognosis in both univariate analysis (average HRR 1.47; P=0.03) and multivariate analysis with standard clinicopathological prognostic variables (average HRR 1.54; P=0.02). PTGS2 expression was also associated with poor prognosis in both univariate (average HRR 1.63; P<0.01) and multivariate analysis (average HRR 1.59; P=0.01). Stratification for systemic therapy demonstrated prognostic value for EGFR and PTGS2 only in the subgroup of patients who were not treated (HRR 1.78; P<.01 and HRR 1.64; P=0.04, respectively), with worst prognosis when both EGFR and PTGS2 were highly expressed (HRR 3.08; P<.01). CRCLM expression of PTGS2 was concordant in 69.2% of matched primary tumors (P=0.02), while there was no such correlation for EGFR expression (P=0.51).
Conclusion: EGFR and PTGS2 expression are prognostic molecular biomarkers with added value to standard clinicopathological variables for patients with CRCLM.

Abstract
Background: Resection of colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRCLM) with curative intent has long-term benefit in ∼40% of cases. Prognostic biomarkers are needed to improve clinical management and reduce futile surgeries. Expression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2; also known as cyclooxygenase-2) has been associated with carcinogenesis and survival. We investigated the prognostic value of EGFR and PTGS2 expression in patients with resected CRCLM. Methods: Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded CRCLM tissue and corresponding primary tumour specimens from a multi-institutional cohort of patients who underwent liver resection between 1990 and 2010 were incorporated into tissue microarrays (TMAs). TMAs were stained for EGFR and PTGS2 by immunohistochemistry. The hazard rate ratio (HRR) for the association between expression in CRCLM and overall survival was calculated using a 500-fold cross-validation procedure. Results: EGFR and PTGS2 expression could be evaluated in 323 and 351 patients, respectively. EGFR expression in CRCLM was associated with poor prognosis (HRR 1.54; P<0.01) with a cross-validated HRR of 1.47 (P=0.03). PTGS2 expression was also associated with poor prognosis (HRR 1.60; P<0.01) with a cross-validated HRR of 1.63 (P<0.01). Expression of EGFR and PTGS2 remained prognostic after multivariate analysis with standard clinicopathological variables (cross-validated HRR 1.51; P=0.02 and cross-validated HRR 1.59; P=0.01, respectively). Stratification for the commonly applied systemic therapy regimens demonstrated prognostic value for EGFR and PTGS2 only in the subgroup of patients who were not treated with systemic therapy (HRR 1.78; P<0.01 and HRR 1.64; P=0.04, respectively), with worst prognosis when both EGFR and PTGS2 were highly expressed (HRR 3.08; P<0.01). Expression of PTGS2 in CRCLM was correlated to expression in patient-matched primary tumours (P=0.02, 69.2% concordance). Conclusions: EGFR and PTGS2 expressions are prognostic molecular biomarkers with added value to standard clinicopathological variables for patients with resectable CRCLM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the results of plastic endoprostheses and of self expanding stents in patients with an esophagobronchial fistula. DESIGN Retrospective, descriptive. SETTING Nederlands Kanker Instituut/Antoni van Leeuwenhoek Ziekenhuis, Amsterdam, the Netherlands. METHOD Forty-two patients with an esophagobronchial fistula caused by a malignant tumour in the oesophagus, lungs or mediastinum were fitted with an endoprosthesis during the period 1 January 1991-31 August 1995. Use was made initially of a plastic endoprosthesis with a special tulip funnel (n = 24), later of a coated self expanding stent (n = 18). In seven patients, the fistula had been the first manifestation of the tumour; in 35, a recurrence after earlier treatment was involved. The initial characteristics (sex, age, diagnosis, earlier therapy, signs and symptoms) were the same in both groups. RESULTS Dilatation immediately before insertion of a plastic endoprosthesis was necessary in 23 patients (96%); such dilatation was necessary in four of the patients (22%) fitted with a self expanding stent. Complete sealing of the fistula was achieved in 19 (79%) and 15 (83%) patients, respectively. Reoperations were necessary in eight (33%) and three (17%) patients. Early major complications occurred in four (17%) and two (11%) patients. CONCLUSION The selfexpanding stent was faster and easier to insert than a plastic endoprosthesis, and effective in sealing an oesophagobronchial fistula.
