Abstract
Introduction
Blood samples were collected to explore potential serum biomarkers associated with neurocognitive function in small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients who received prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI).
Methods
This pre-specified study included patients with blood samples available, who participated in a phase III trial (NCT01780675). Blood samples were collected before PCI and 3-days post-initiating PCI. Neurocognitive decline was defined as a decrease of ≥ 5 points on total recall in the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test—Revised (HVLT-R) assessed from pre-PCI to 4-months post-PCI. Biomarkers were screened using univariate logistic regression analysis. P < .1 was considered statistically significant.
Results
Forty-eight enrolled patients who had blood samples at baseline were included and 27 were available for analysis as the other 21 did not assess neurocognitive function at 4-months. Lower levels of Tie-2 (OR = 0.999, 90% CI 0.998-1.000, P = .062), and higher levels of MIP-1b (OR = 1.022, 90% CI 1.000-1.044, P = .093), CCL-17 (OR = 1.004, 90% CI 1.001-1.006, P = .029), and IL-1α (OR = 1.597, 90% CI 1.077-2.367, P = .05) before PCI were correlated with neurocognitive decline at 4-months. Decrease of VEGF-C (OR = 0.972, 90% CI 0.949-0.996, P = .055), CCL-17 (OR = 0.993, 90% CI 0.988-0.999, P = .036), IL-1α (OR = 0.788, 90% CI 0.635-0.979, P = .071), and VEGF (OR = 0.981, 90% CI 0.965-0.997, P = .051) 3-days post-initiating PCI were also associated with neurocognitive decline at 4-months.
Conclusions
Biomarker levels before PCI and changes in their levels 3-days post-initiating PCI may be linked to subsequent neurocognitive decline at 4-months. If validated, these biomarkers could be used to predict the risk of neurocognitive decline and act as a decision aid for personalized PCI in SCLC.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Lung Cancer is a peer-reviewed bimonthly journal that publishes original articles describing various aspects of clinical and translational research of lung cancer. Clinical Lung Cancer is devoted to articles on detection, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of lung cancer. The main emphasis is on recent scientific developments in all areas related to lung cancer. Specific areas of interest include clinical research and mechanistic approaches; drug sensitivity and resistance; gene and antisense therapy; pathology, markers, and prognostic indicators; chemoprevention strategies; multimodality therapy; and integration of various approaches.
