MO03.01 - Outcome of surgical treatment for thymic epithelial tumors based on the nationwide retrospective database of 3033 patients in Japan (ID 2284)
10:30 - 12:00 | Author(s): K. Yokoi
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
Thymic epithelial tumor, consisting of thymoma, thymic carcinoma and thymic neuroendocrine carcinoma, is a relatively rare neoplasm, and there is not a satisfying consensus in the treatment strategy. Because of lack of TNM staging system and global consensus on pathological classification, global research in these research has been difficult. To participate in movement of establishing the global database, Japanese Association for research of the Thymus (JART) conducted the project of Japanese nation-wide database in 2012.Methods
Patients undergoing surgical treatment during 20 years between 1991 and 2010 in Japan were collected from 32 institutes. 3182 patients were first enrolled, but after exclusion of cases with insufficient information, 3033 cases remained for analysis finally.Results
1435 patients (44%) were male, and 1595 were female (not identified in 3 patients). The age at operation was 13 to 88 years (mean 57 years old). Pathological diagnosis was thymoma in 2505 patients (Type A: 203, Type AB: 710, Type B1: 599, Type B2: 669, Type B3: 329), thymic carcinoma in 381 patients (Squamous cell carcinoma: 223, neuroendocrine carcinomas 66), and unclassified or unknown in 147 patients. According to Masaoka staging system, 1063 patients were in stage I, 1084 were in stage II, 477 in stage III, 197 in stage IVA, 57 in stage IVB (undetermined in 155 patients). Complete resection was achieved in 2753 patients (92%), subtotal resection (mass reduction of more than 80%) in 157 patients (5%), partial resection including biopsy in 86 patients (unknown in 37 patients). 249 patients were alive with tumor. 316 patients were dead during the observation period, and 161 patients died from tumor. Among 2557 patients who underwent complete resection (R0), 269 patients (10.5%) had tumor recurrence. In the patients who underwent complete or subtotal resection, 10-year overall survival rate was 89% in thymoma, 56% in squamous cell carcinoma, 30% in non-squamous thymic carcinoma, 72% in well-differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma and 29% in poorly-differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma. According to Masaoka stage, 10-year overall survival rate was 94% in stage I, 93% in stage II, 74% in stage III, 59% in stage IVA and 44% in stage IVB. In thymoma patients who underwent complete resection, recurrence-free survival rate at 10 years was 96% in type A, 99% in type AB, 92% in type B1, 80% in type B2, 72% in type B3. By Cox’ proportional hazard model, involvement of the mediastinal pleura (p=0.01), involvement of the lung (p=0.01), pleural dissemination (p=0.0009), distant metastasis (p=0.01) and WHO histological subtype (p<0.0001) were found to be independent factors for tumor recurrence after complete resection, while nodal metastasis, intrapericardial dissemination, involvement of pericardium, pulmonary artery, SVC, brachiocephalic vein, aorta, or brachiocephalic artery were not.Conclusion
Japanese nation-wide database revealed the oncological difference among thymoma, thymic carcinoma and thymic neuroendocrine carcinoma. In thymoma, involvement of pleura and lung, pleural dissemination, distant metastasis and WHO histological classification were significant factors of tumor recurrence. These results are supposed to contribute to clinical practice for tumor treatment as well as establishment of global TNM classification.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.

MO03.02 - Surgical Outcome of Patients with Stage III Thymoma in the Japanese Nationwide Database (ID 2842)
10:30 - 12:00 | Author(s): K. Yokoi
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
Stage III thymoma has a variety characteristics in terms of involved organs, complex surgery and multimodal strategy, and a careful consideration is required in choices of treatments. Recently the Japanese Association for Research on the Thymus (JART) conducted a nationwide large cohort analysis for thymic epithelial tumors. The aim of this study is to clarify clinical characteristics and therapeutic outcome of patients who underwent surgical resection for stage III thymoma using this database.Methods
Clinical data of 3,033 thymic epithelial tumor patients of 1991 to 2010 were collected rom 32 Japanese institutes. Medical information registered included patients’ characteristics, types of surgery, pathological diagnosis, perioperative therapy, and clinical outcomes were registered. In this study, stage III thymoma patients who underwent surgery were extracted from the database, and retrospectively analyzed for clinical characteristics and surgical outcome.Results
A total of 340 records of patients were analyzed in this study, which comprised 186 males (54.7%) and 153 females (45.0%), 83 (24.4%) with myasthenia gravis, 42 (12.4%) with induction chemotherapy, 18 (5.3%) with preoperative radiotherapy, and 29 (8.5%) with adjuvant chemotherapies. WHO histologic types comprised 16 A (4.7%), 40 AB (11.8%), 47 B1 (13.8%), 118 B2 (34.7%) and 97 B3 (28.5%). Involved organs were lung in 209 (61.4%), pericardium in 167 (49.1%), chest wall in 7 (2.1%), phrenic nerve in 88 (25.9%) and great vessels in 134 (39.4%). Completeness of resection was R0 in 268 (78.8%), R1 in 35 (10.3%) and R2 in 20 (5.9%). Complications were observed in 85 (25.0%) including arterial fibrillation, phrenic nerve palsy, bleeding and crisis of myasthenia gravis, and 30-day mortality rate was 1.8% (6 cases). Tumor recurrence was experienced in 96 (28.2%), and 39 (11.5%) died during the observation. Overall and disease-free 10-year survival rates were 81.0% and 56.7%, respectively. Involved organs except for chest wall, completeness of resection or myasthenia gravis did not affect the survivals. Number of involved organs (1 vs. >2) and tumor length (<7cm vs. >7cm) affected disease-free survival but not overall survival. Among factors suggested to affect overall survival by univariate analyses such as male, surgical complication, WHO histologic type B1-3, chest wall invasion, induction treatments, and recurrence, independent adverse predictors were revealed by a multivariate analysis to be male (p=0.031, HR=2.47), induction chemotherapy (p=0.034, HR=2.39), postoperative complication (p=0.018, HR=2.41) and recurrence of disease (p=0.041, HR=2.15). Of 96 patients with recurrence, 47 patients who underwent salvage resection showed better prognosis than 49 patients who did not (p=0.009).Conclusion
This nationwide registry study exhibited favorable surgical outcome in Japanese patients with stage III thymoma. Effectiveness of multimodal treatments need to be further investigated in prospective controlled trials.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.

MO03.04 - Analysis of lymphatic metastases of thymic epithelial tumors on Japanese database (ID 3196)
10:30 - 12:00 | Author(s): K. Yokoi
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
Thymic epithelial tumors sometimes metastasize to lymph nodes (LNs). The frequency of lymph node metastasis, the pattern of node metastasis and the relationship between prognosis and node metastasis are still unclear.Methods
We registered patients with thymic epithelial tumors who had undergone resection between 1991 and 2010 from 29 institutes in Japan by the Japanese Association for Research on the Thymus (JART). We investigated the collected data according to the site of lymphatic metastasis. Yamakawa-Masaoka's paper (Cancer 1991;68:1984–7.) tentatively classified the N factor to 3 groups: metastasis to anterior mediastinal lymph nodes around the thymus were defined as N1, metastasis to intrathoracic lymph nodes other than anterior mediastinal lymph nodes as N2, and metastasis to extrathoracic lymph nodes as N3.Results
The rate of lymphatic metastasis in thymoma was 1.75% (44 cases of 2508). Most of metastatic nodes were located in anterior mediastinal lymph nodes (N1, 78%). There is a significant difference of overall survival between thymomas with LN metastasis and those without LN metastasis (p<0.0001, 10-year survival: 89.8% vs 63.6%). Thymomas with N1 metastasis showed a good prognosis than those with other node metastasis, although there is no significant relationship (5-year survival: 64.4% vs 52.5%). The rate of lymphatic metastasis in thymic carcinoma including thymic carcinoid was 22% (84 cases of 380). Most of metastatic nodes were located in anterior mediastinal lymph nodes (N1, 69%). There is a significant difference of overall survival between thymic carcinomas with LN metastasis and those without LN metastasis (p<0.0001, 10-year survival: 59.5% vs 18.4%). Thymic carcimomas with N1 metastasis showed good prognosis than those with other node metastases, although there was no significant relationship (5-year survival: 55.5% vs 27.5%).Conclusion
The rate of lymphatic metastasis in thymoma and thymic carcinoma was 1.75% and 22%, respectively. Both tumors frequently metastasized to the anterior mediastinal nodes. There was a significant difference of overall survival between tumors with LN metastasis and without LN metastasis in both tumors. And both tumors with N1 metastasis showed good prognoses than those with other node metastases, although there was no significant relationship. We think that it may be reasonable to consider the anterior mediastinal lymph node group (N1) to be a primary lymph node of thymic epithelial tumor.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.

O09.02 - Clinicopathological characteristics and surgical results of lung cancer patients aged up to 50 years: the Japanese Lung Cancer Registry Study 2004 (ID 83)
16:15 - 17:45 | Author(s): K. Yokoi
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
Since the incidence of lung cancer death increases from 50 years-old, the surgical results of young lung cancer patients remains unclear.Methods
Seven hundred and four patients with lung cancer, aged up to 50 years, were enrolled from among the 11,663 patients registered in the Japanese Lung Cancer Registry Study 2004, and their clinical data were compared with those of 10959 patients older than 50 years.Results
In the young/old groups, pneumonectomy was performed in 5.7%/3.2%; adjuvant therapies were given preoperatively in 10.4%/4.7% (p<0.001) and postoperatively in 31.4%/24.5% (p<0.001). The proportions of patients with p-stage IIIA and adenocarcinoma histology were higher in the young group. The 5-year overall survival rate (5Y-OS) was 94.8%/86.2% for p-stage IA (p<0.001), 87.0%/73.2% for p-stage IB (p=0.001), 61.0%/61.6% for p-stage IIA (p=0.595), 71.0%/48.4% for p-stage IIB (p=0.003), 49.6%/39.4% for p-stage IIIA (p=0.020), and 80.0%/24.8% for p-stage IIIB (p=0.012); it was 83.5%/80.7% for females (p=0.106) and 75.1%/62.3% for males (p<0.001) in the young/old groups. The postoperative survival was significantly better with all operative procedures in the young group. The 5Y-OS after recurrence was better in the young group (17.9%, p=0.016). In the young group, the 5Y-OS was better in females (83.5%) than in males (75.1%, p=0.002), and for patients with adenocarcinoma (80.3%) than for those with squamous cell carcinoma (68.5%, p=0.013). Age up to 50 years was identified as an independent prognostic factor on multivariate analysis. Figure 1Conclusion
The postoperative survival in lung cancer patients aged up to 50 years was better than that in patients older than 50 years.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.

O20.07 - Local therapy for limited distant metastasis in patients with completely resected NSCLC (ID 1262)
16:15 - 17:45 | Author(s): K. Yokoi
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
In general, distant metastasis is regarded as an incurable systemic disease. Therefore, local therapies including metastasectomy or radiotherapy are rarely applied, and the treatment goals are disease control using chemotherapy or palliation. There are, however, several reports in which local therapy can contribute to long-term survival in patients with metastatic disease, especially for brain metastasis or adrenal metastasis in patients with NSCLC.Methods
Between 1986 and 2009, among 1548 patients who underwent surgical resection for NSCLC in our institution, we identified 405 patients who experienced recurrence after R0 resection, without history of other malignancy, and detailed recurrence information available. We investigated the recurrent mode, number of metastatic focus and organ, treatment for metastasis, and prognosis.Results
Among 405 patients, 245 patients had distant metastasis without local recurrence, 115 had local recurrence, and 45 had both local and distant metastasis. We focused on the 245 patients with distant metastasis without local recurrence, including 215 patients who had only single organ metastasis and 93 patients who had only solitary metastasis. The treatments for distant metastasis and the 5-year survival rates were shown in the Table 1. The number of organ involved and metastatic focus were significantly associated with prolonged survival. Local therapy were mainly applied for limited metastases, and associated with higher survival rates. The number of patients and the 5-year survival rates according to the metastatic organ in patients with solitary metastasis are shown in Table 2. Other metastatic organ included soft tissue in 3 patients, kidney in 3, and trachea, intestine, and abdominal lymph node in 1.Finally, 6 patients survived more than 5 years with disease-free status; these included 2 brains, 2 lungs, 1 bone, and 1 subcutaneous metastasis.Table 1

O29.05 - Prognostic Impact of the Tumor Size Eliminating the Ground Glass Opacity Component: Modified Clinical T Descriptors of the TNM Classification of Lung Cancer (ID 751)
10:30 - 12:00 | Author(s): K. Yokoi
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
The presence of ground glass opacity (GGO) on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is well known to be pathologically closely associated with adenocarcinoma in situ. Recently, measuring the tumor diameter including areas of GGO on HRCT has been reported to possibly overestimate the T status. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the significance of the tumor size measured eliminating the area of GGO on HRCT as a prognostic factor and to propose a refined TNM classification based on modified T descriptors.Methods
Four hundred and seventy-five patients with clinical T1a-T2bN0M0 non-small cell lung cancer underwent surgical resection. All tumors were reclassified based on the diameter measured eliminating the GGO area on HRCT according to the 7th TNM classification of lung cancer. We defined this new classification as modified T descriptors categorized into four groups: mTis+T1a, mT1b, mT2a and mT2b. The overall survival rates of the patients in the current and modified staging groups were evaluated.Results
The 5-year survival rates were 88% and 82% in the patients with T1a and T1b tumors and 90% and 75% in the patients with mTis+T1a and mT1b tumors, respectively. The differences in the survival of the patients classified using mTis+T1a and the other modified T descriptors were more clearly separated statistically than those of the patients classified using the current T1a and other T descriptors.Conclusion
The use of clinically modified T descriptors of the tumor size measured eliminating the GGO component on HRCT may more clearly classify the prognoses of patients with early lung cancer.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.

P1.12-012 - A Comparison of Clinicopathologic Features and Survival Outcomes between the Lung Cancer Patients with Adenocarcinoma and Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Stage I Disease of Squamous Cell Carcinoma is there? (ID 1811)
09:30 - 16:30 | Author(s): K. Yokoi
- Abstract
Background
Patients with lung cancer should be treated differently based on their histologic subtypes because of the disparities in tumor aggressiveness and treatment response. In addition to epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, recent chemotherapeutic agents such as pemetrexed and bevacizumab have dissimilar activities between adenocarcinoma (AD) and squamous cell carcinoma (SQ). Therefore, it would be important to reevaluate the clinicopathologic features of the two major subtypes, both of which were classified as non-small cell lung cancer.Methods
Between 1995 through 2012, 2412 patients with primary lung cancer underwent pulmonary resection in Nagoya University and Aichi Cancer Center Hospital. For the present study, a total of 2057 patients with AD and SQ who underwent complete resection were extracted, and their clinicopathological features and outcomes were evaluated.Results
The cohort consists of 1585 ADs (77%) and 472 SQs (23%). Female sex, no history of smoking and smaller size of the tumor were distinct characteristics of AD patients, and higher age was that of SQ patients (p < 0.0001). Pathological stage I disease was found in 70% of AD patients and 41% of SQ patients. Significant difference was observed for overall survival with the 5-year survival rate of 78% in AD patients and 63% in SQ patients. Limited to stage I disease, SQ patients also showed significant worse outcomes (p < 0.0001). Since no survival difference was observed between pN0 and pN1 patients with SQ (p = 0.39), we tried to regard the pN0 patients as pN1 and restage them according to the newly defined N status. Thirty-seven stage IA and 42 stage IB patients were upstaged to stage IIA, 36 stage IB patients to stage IIB, and 47 stage IIB patients to stage IIIA. As a result, comparable survival curves were obtained between AD and SQ patients in stage II and IIIA.Conclusion
We identified some significant differences between patients with AD and SQ in the large-scale Japanese cohort. Especially, patients with stage I SQ showed a significantly worse outcome. Newly defined stage grouping applied for SQ patients provided comparable outcomes with those of AD patients. Therefore, stage I disease of SQ may not be there.

P1.16-002 - Histological impact of primary tumor on indication of repeated pulmonary metastasectomy (ID 1346)
09:30 - 16:30 | Author(s): K. Yokoi
- Abstract
Background
Lung is one of the most common metastatic sites from malignances. Although efficacy of pulmonary metastasectomy (PM) has been reported recently, the prevalence has not been enough among thoracic surgeons. Moreover, beneficial effects of repeated PMs for longer survivals have been poorly evaluated. The aims of this study are to examine the efficacy of repeated PMs (Re-PM) for re-recurred diseases and evaluate the histological impact of the primary tumor on the treatment.Methods
We retrospectively reviewed 263 patients who underwent PMs for various malignancies from 1996 through 2011. These factors below were evaluated; age, gender, origin of primary tumors, disease free interval (DFI) to the first PM, surgical procedure of PM, number of resected tumors, frequency of PMs, DFI after the first PM, overall survival after the first PM and prognosis.Results
Among 263 patients, 166 were male, and 98 were female. The median age was 60 years old (range: 7-85). Origins of primary tumors were following; 91 colorectum, 54 bone and soft tissue, 22 head and neck, 20 adnexa uteri, 17 urinary tract, 14 testis (germ cell tumor), 45 others. Mean number of resected nodules at the first PM was one, and the maximum was 19. Wedge resections were performed most frequently in 159 patients (60%), lobectomies in 69 (26%), segmentectomies in 32 (12%), and bilobectomies in 5 (2%). Re-PMs were indicated in 47 patients (18%). Among them, while the prevalence of Re-PM was 20% (18/91) in colorectal cancer patients, that is as high as 37% (20/54) in bone and soft tissue sarcoma patients. Estimated five-year survival rate of the whole patients was 50.6%. And that of patients without recurrence, with Re-PM and without Re-PM were 92.9, 58.5 and 14.5%, respectively. In univariate analyses, sublober resection of the first PM, DFI and presence of complete resection at the first PM were significant favorable factors for overall survival. In the multivariate analysis, sublober resection and presence of complete resection at the first PM were revealed to be the independent prognostic factors.Conclusion
The large portion of Re-PM patients had colorectal cancer, or bone and soft tissue sarcoma as their primary tumor. Re-PM may improve the survival of selected patients who experienced re-recurrence in lung after PM. Primary tumor of bone and soft tissue sarcoma were the most applicable histology for Re-PM.

P2.14-005 - Assessment of postoperative complications after the first all Japan multi-institutional trial of induction chemotherapy followed by extrapleural pneumonectomy for malignant pleural mesothelioma (ID 1517)
09:30 - 16:30 | Author(s): K. Yokoi
- Abstract
Background
The first all Japan multi-institutional trial was completed to evaluate the feasibility of induction chemotherapy using pemetrexed plus cisplatin, followed by extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP) and postoperative hemithoracic radiation in patients with resectable malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). The main results were presented at the ASCO 2013. In this study, we especially reviewed major postoperative complications and mortality of patients who underwent EPP and determined the risk factors responsible for adverse outcomes.Methods
From 2008 to 2010, 42 patients with MPM were enrolled in this study. Thirty-nine patients received planed chemotherapy. Thirty-three patients proceeded to EPP, which was completed in 30 patients. These patients were candidates in this study. Major complications were defined by grade 3, 4, 5 events according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0. Treatment-related death was defined as any death occurring within 84 days after operation. Logistic regression analysis was performed on preoperative variables for major adverse outcomes.Results
A total of 17 institutions in Japan with certified specialists in oncology, surgery and radiation therapy participated in this trial. Thirty patients (29 male, 1 female; median age of 66 years, range 43–74) completed EPP (14 right-sided and 16 left-sided), and macroscopic complete resection was accomplished in all patients. Histology of the tumors was epithelial in 22, biphasic in 4, sarcomatous in 1, and others in 3. Median operation time and blood loss were 437 minutes (range, 335-655) and 1461 gram (range, 390-4530), respectively. Major postoperative complications developed in 73.3% of the patients, and treatment-related death occurred in 4 patients (13.3%), which causes were cardiac herniation (n = 1), ARDS (n = 2), bronchial fistula and ARDS (n = 1). There were no significant predictors for major postoperative complications and treatment related death in both univariate and multivariate analysis.Conclusion
We cannot find the predictor of major adverse events and treatment related death in MPM patients treated with induction chemotherapy followed by EPP. Although that is why sample size is small, we also recognize that multimodality treatment including EPP for MPM has more than 10% mortality and should be included in a prospective trial at specialized centers.

P2.22-001 - Japanese Nation Wide Lung Cancer Registries conducted by the Japanese Joint Committee of Lung Cancer Registry (JJCLCR) (ID 66)
09:30 - 16:30 | Author(s): K. Yokoi
- Abstract
Background
The Japanese Joint Committee of Lung Cancer Registry (JJCLCR) is jointly established by the Japan Lung Cancer Society, the Japanese Respiratory Society, the Japanese Association for Chest Surgery and the Japan Society for Respiratory Endoscopy, conducting Japanese nation-wide registries of lung cancer patientsMethods
In 1999, 2004 and 2009, registries were conducted for surgical patients in 1994, 1999 and 2004, respectively. In 2002, both surgical and non-surgical (non-biased) patients in 2002 were registered with a follow up period of 3 years or more. In 2012, a registry has been conducted for non-surgical patients in 2012 with a follow up period of 3 years. In 2016, surgical patients in 2010 will be registered. These registries were observationally assessed.Results
Registries for surgical cases in 1994, 1999 and 2004 which were conducted in 1999, 2004 and 2009 revealed the trend of increase in mean age, rates of female, the aged, small sized lesion, adenocarcinoma and stage I, and that of decrease in the rate of perioperative death. Furthermore proposals for TNM classification were stated as peer reviewed papers- invasion to visceral pleura, chest wall and fat tissue in the mediastinum for T factor. In addition, status of N2 disease were assessed resulting in that highly selected cases (3.8%) were subjected to surgery or surgery-included multimodal therapy with a 5-year survival rate of 30.1% in cN2/pN2-Stage IIIA and it was better than previous registries. Registry for surgical and non-surgical patients in 2002 revealed that stage-specific prognosis was within a range similar to other reports and stage, gender, surgery and performance status were independent prognostic indicator of both non-small and small cell lung cancer. Registry of non-surgical cases in 2012 was conducted and greater than 8,000 cases were registered. In this study, status of usage of FDG-PET scan for staging, EGFR gene mutation and individual therapy were, and prognosis of patients will be registered. In up-coming registry for surgical cases in 2010 which will be performed in 2016, new parameters- the size of tumor regarding non-invasive regions in adenocarcinoma (ground grass opacity in computed tomography), quantitative assessment of lymph node metastasis (the number of metastasized lymph node) as a prognostic indicator, which may be assessed as factors of TNM classification in the future. Besides, the TNM classification will be revised in 2016 according to the proposal from IASLC staging project, to which the JJCLCR offered data of 47,306 cases (approximately 25% of whole world wide cases) from the recent 4 registries.Conclusion
The JJCLCR conducted nation-wide lung cancer registry in Japan, revealing the condition of the treatment of lung cancer and contributing to the TNM staging program.

P3.09-007 - Update data of biomarker analysis of WJOG4107 (A randomized phase II trial of adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1 versus CDDP+S-1 for resected stage II-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)) (ID 1504)

- Abstract
Background
We conducted a randomized phase II trial for patients with resected stage II-IIIA NSCLC comparing postoperative oral S-1 (80 mg/m2/day for consecutive 2 weeks q3w for 1 year) (S) (N=100) or cisplatin (CDDP) (60 mg/m2 day1) plus oral S-1, (80 mg/m2/day for 2 weeks) q3w for 4 cycles (PS)(N=100). We reported that disease free survival rate at 2 years (DFS@2) (95% confidence interval: CI), a primary endpoint, was 66 (55-74) % for S and 58 (48-67)% for PS. Here, we report the preliminary results of preplanned biomarker analysis, a co-primary endpoint, to identify molecules whose expression is significantly associated with patient outcome.Methods
cDNA extracted from macro-dissected formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded specimens were available for 197/200 patients. Thirty-one genes including those whose expressions have been potentially associated with CDDP (e.g. ERCC1, XRCC1, BRCA1, GSTpi, HMG1, TBP) or fluorouracil (FU) sensitivity (TS, DHFR, DPD, UMPS, UPP1) were measured by QGE analysis (MassArray, Sequenom, CA). Additional analysis are being performed to assess ERCC1 isoform expression with an isoform-specific TaqMan probe (Applied Biosystems, CA). The expression of each gene was dichotomized according to its median value.Results
Molecules such as ERCC1 and GSTpi whose expression have been previously associated with CDDP sensitivity did not emerge as predictive markers (P=0.7908, 0.6406, respectively). We quantitated ERCC1 by isotype (202 and 204 cannot be distinguished). There was a trend in patients with high 201 or 202/204, CDDP/S-1 was worse than S-1.Conclusion
Quantitation of ERCC1 by isotype may define a patient subset that would benefit from postoperative platinum therapy.
