Abstract
Objective: To systematically evaluate and synthesize the existing evidence from cohort and case-control studies to identify risk factors associated with malignant progression to ATLL in HTLV-1 carriers.
Methods: A systematic search was conducted in September 2023 in the following databases: Pubmed, Scopus, Web of Science, Medline and Embase. Only case-control and cohort studies that assessed the risk factors for the malignant progression to ATLL among HTLV-1 carriers in the adult population were included. The risk of bias was assessed through the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Meta-analysis was not performed due to high statistical and methodological heterogeneity.
Results: After conducting a systematic search, 8170 results were retrieved, of which 9 (7 case-control and 2 cohort studies) met the selection criteria. Seven of them were conducted in Japan and six had low risk of bias. Serum sIL-2R levels, proviral load (PVL), cigarette consumption, Scd30 and TNF-α-857T allele were associated with an increased risk of ATLL progression.
Conclusion: PVL emerges as the foremost recommended biomarker for predicting progression in patients with HTLV-1 associated ATLL. Further studies with larger samples sizes, different populations, more rigorous statistical adjustments, and longer follow-up are warranted.
目的:系统评价和综合来自队列和病例对照研究的现有证据,以确定HTLV-1携带者恶性进展为ATLL的相关危险因素。方法:于2023年9月系统检索Pubmed、Scopus、Web of Science、Medline、Embase等数据库。仅纳入了评估成人HTLV-1携带者恶性进展为ATLL危险因素的病例对照和队列研究。偏倚风险通过纽卡斯尔-渥太华量表进行评估。由于统计和方法学异质性高,未进行meta分析。结果:经系统检索,共检索到8170项结果,其中9项(7项病例对照研究和2项队列研究)符合入选标准。其中7项在日本进行,6项具有低偏倚风险。血清sIL-2R水平、前病毒载量(PVL)、吸烟、Scd30和TNF-α-857T等位基因与ATLL进展风险增加相关。结论:PVL是预测HTLV-1相关ATLL患者进展的首选生物标志物。进一步的研究需要更大的样本量、不同的人群、更严格的统计调整和更长的随访时间。
期刊介绍:
Clinical Lymphoma, Myeloma & Leukemia is a peer-reviewed monthly journal that publishes original articles describing various aspects of clinical and translational research of lymphoma, myeloma and leukemia. Clinical Lymphoma, Myeloma & Leukemia is devoted to articles on detection, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of lymphoma, myeloma, leukemia and related disorders including macroglobulinemia, amyloidosis, and plasma-cell dyscrasias. The main emphasis is on recent scientific developments in all areas related to lymphoma, myeloma and leukemia. 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.
