Abstract
Background: Protein tumor markers are released in high amounts into the blood in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Objective: To investigate the relevance of serum tumor markers (STM) for prognosis, prediction and monitoring of therapy response in NSCLC patients receiving chemotherapy.
Methods: In a biomarker substudy of a prospective, multicentric clinical trial (CEPAC-TDM) on 261 advanced NSCLC patients, CYFRA 21-1, CEA, SCC, NSE, ProGRP, CA125, CA15-3 and HE4 were assessed in serial serum samples and correlated with radiological response after two cycles of chemotherapy and overall (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS).
Results: While pretherapeutic STM levels at staging did not discriminate between progressive and non-progressive patients, CYFRA 21-1, CA125, NSE and SCC at time of staging did, and yielded AUCs of 0.75, 0.70, 0.69 and 0.67 in ROC curves, respectively. High pretherapeutic CA15-3 and CA125 as well as high CYFRA 21-1, SCC, CA125 and CA15-3 levels at staging were prognostic for shorter PFS and OS -also when clinical variables were added to the models.
Conclusions: STM at the time of first radiological staging and pretherapeutic CA15-3, CA125 are predictive for first-line treatment response and highly prognostic in patients with advanced NSCLC.
期刊介绍:
Tumor Biology is a peer reviewed, international journal providing an open access forum for experimental and clinical cancer research. Tumor Biology covers all aspects of tumor markers, molecular biomarkers, tumor targeting, and mechanisms of tumor development and progression.
Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Pathway analyses,
Non-coding RNAs,
Circulating tumor cells,
Liquid biopsies,
Exosomes,
Epigenetics,
Cancer stem cells,
Tumor immunology and immunotherapy,
Tumor microenvironment,
Targeted therapies,
Therapy resistance
Cancer genetics,
Cancer risk screening.
Studies in other areas of basic, clinical and translational cancer research are also considered in order to promote connections and discoveries across different disciplines.
The journal publishes original articles, reviews, commentaries and guidelines on tumor marker use. All submissions are subject to rigorous peer review and are selected on the basis of whether the research is sound and deserves publication.
Tumor Biology is the Official Journal of the International Society of Oncology and BioMarkers (ISOBM).
