Abstract

Background: Up to now, endometrial cancer (EC) treatments are mainly represented by surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy. The updated guidelines give a 2A recommendation for the use of hormone therapy only in advanced low-grade ECs, underlying the need for more data on the role of hormone therapy in the adjuvant setting. Methods: The clinicopathological data of 158 early-stage EC patients was retrospectively collected. A Ki-67 cut-off value of 40% was established based on literature data. Disease-free survival (DFS) and Overall survival (OS) were evaluated. Results: Results: Multivariate analysis of DFS and OS showed a significantly increased risk of progression in patients with >40% Ki-67 [HR = 3.13 (95% CI; 1.35–7.14); p = 0.007] and a significantly higher relative risk of death [HR = 3.70 (95% CI; 1.69–8.33); p = 0.001]. The predictive role of the Ki-67 index was highlighted by the clinical benefit of adjuvant hormone in patients with high Ki-67. Conclusions: Our results suggest a positive role of the Ki-67 index as a prognostic and potentially predictive marker in EC, although further studies are warranted to reach a definitive conclusion.
探讨Ki-67在子宫内膜癌中的预后和预测作用
背景:目前,子宫内膜癌(EC)的治疗以手术加辅助化疗或放疗为主。更新后的指南建议仅在晚期低级别ECs中使用激素治疗,这表明需要更多关于激素治疗在辅助治疗中的作用的数据。方法:回顾性收集158例早期EC患者的临床病理资料。根据文献资料,Ki-67临界值为40%。评估无病生存期(DFS)和总生存期(OS)。结果:结果:DFS和OS的多因素分析显示,>40% Ki-67患者的进展风险显著增加[HR = 3.13 (95% CI;1.35 - -7.14);p = 0.007]和显著较高的相对死亡风险[HR = 3.70 (95% CI;1.69 - -8.33);P = 0.001]。辅助激素在高Ki-67患者中的临床获益强调了Ki-67指数的预测作用。结论:我们的研究结果表明Ki-67指数作为EC的预后和潜在预测指标具有积极作用,尽管需要进一步的研究才能得出明确的结论。
