Abstract
Introduction
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been reported to be helpful to identify high-risk individuals of developing prostate cancer. Our aim is to investigate the relationship between NAFLD and biochemical recurrence in metastatic prostate cancer patients.
Methods
We retrospectively investigated 602 patients with metastatic prostate cancer receiving the androgen deprivation therapy. Liver fat was estimated with liver-to-spleen ratio by computed tomography (CT) scans. The relationship between NAFLD and biochemical recurrence was investigated with Cox models. The model for biochemical recurrence was adjusted for multiple variables.
Results
NAFLD was significantly associated with biochemical recurrence in patients with Gleason score ≥4+3 when adjusting for each of body mass index (hazards ratio [HR] = 1.38; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.08–1.77; p = 0.01), visceral adipose tissue (HR = 1.36; 95% CI = 1.07–1.74; p = 0.01), hypertension (HR = 1.41; 95% CI = 1.10–1.80; p = 0.01), and diabetes mellitus (HR = 1.42; 95% CI = 1.11–1.82; p = 0.01), using age and prostate-specific antigen level as potential confounder. The 2-year biochemical recurrence rate in the Gleason score ≥4+3 patients with and without NAFLD was 84.0% (100/119) and 72.2% (130/180), respectively (p = 0.018). The median biochemical recurrence free survival of the Gleason score ≥4+3 patients with and without NAFLD were 17 and 21 months, respectively (p = 0.005).
Conclusions
NAFLD is an independent risk factor for biochemical recurrence in patients with high-grade metastatic prostate cancer. If validated in prospective studies, future research should test whether treatment of NAFLD can lead to better prognosis.
期刊介绍:
Asia–Pacific Journal of Clinical Oncology is a multidisciplinary journal of oncology that aims to be a forum for facilitating collaboration and exchanging information on what is happening in different countries of the Asia–Pacific region in relation to cancer treatment and care. The Journal is ideally positioned to receive publications that deal with diversity in cancer behavior, management and outcome related to ethnic, cultural, economic and other differences between populations. In addition to original articles, the Journal publishes reviews, editorials, letters to the Editor and short communications. Case reports are generally not considered for publication, only exceptional papers in which Editors find extraordinary oncological value may be considered for review. The Journal encourages clinical studies, particularly prospectively designed clinical trials.
