Abstract
Purpose: To demonstrate whether early changes in systemic inflammatory markers are related with pazopanib treatment response in soft tissue sarcoma and renal cell carcinoma.
Methods: Forty-one patients with metastatic clear cell renal carcinoma (mRCC) (n=22) and advanced stage soft tissue sarcoma (STS) (n=19) were assessed. Systemic inflammatory markers such as neutrophils, lymphocytes, c-reactive protein (CRP), mean platelet volume (MPV), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) at both baseline and 1-month of pazopanib treatment were obtained and their relation with the first radiological response about 3-months later after pazopanib treatment was evaluated.
Results: Disease control rate (DCR) at the first initial radiological evaluation was 58.5 % for all, it was 77.3% for the RCC group and 36.8% in the STS group. Serum neutrophil, NLR and CRP levels were significantly decreased from baseline in RCC patients who had DCR with pazopanib treatment. Also, serum CRP levels after pazopanib treatment was significantly lower in RCC patients who had DCR (+) rather than those who progressed.
Conclusions: Early decline in serum CRP, neutrophil and NLR levels in RCC patients who received pazopanib at the first month was significantly associated with disease control, assuming a predictive role for the first radiological assessment. However, there was no significant association between change in serum inflammatory marker levels and disease control in STS patients.
期刊介绍:
JBUON aims at the rapid diffusion of scientific knowledge in Oncology.
Its character is multidisciplinary, therefore all aspects of oncologic activities are welcome including clinical research (medical oncology, radiation oncology, surgical oncology, nursing oncology, psycho-oncology, supportive care), as well as clinically-oriented basic and laboratory research, cancer epidemiology and social and ethical aspects of cancer. Experts of all these disciplines are included in the Editorial Board.
With a rapidly increasing body of new discoveries in clinical therapeutics, the molecular mechanisms that contribute to carcinogenesis, advancements in accurate and early diagnosis etc, JBUON offers a free forum for clinicians and basic researchers to make known promptly their achievements around the world.
With this aim JBUON accepts a broad spectrum of articles such as editorials, original articles, reviews, special articles, short communications, commentaries, letters to the editor and correspondence among authors and readers.
JBUON keeps the characteristics of its former paper print edition and appears as a bimonthly e-published journal with continuous volume, issue and page numbers.
