Predictive value of serum alkaline phosphatase, tumor-specific growth factor, and macrophage migration inhibitory factor for the efficacy of immunotargeted therapy in osteosarcoma patients
View abstract on PubMed
Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Pre-treatment serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP), tumor-specific growth factor (TSGF), and macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) levels predict osteosarcoma treatment response. Higher levels indicate less effective combined immunosuppressive and targeted therapy.
Area Of Science
- Oncology
- Biomarkers
- Immunotherapy
Background
- Osteosarcoma (OS) treatment efficacy can vary.
- Identifying predictive biomarkers is crucial for personalized medicine.
Purpose Of The Study
- To evaluate serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP), tumor-specific growth factor (TSGF), and macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) as predictors of treatment response in OS.
- To assess the efficacy of combined immunosuppressive (interferon-α) and targeted therapy (bevacizumab).
Main Methods
- Retrospective analysis of 161 OS patients treated with interferon-α and bevacizumab.
- Serum biomarker levels (ALP, TSGF, MIF) measured pre- and post-treatment.
- Univariate and logistic regression analyses to determine predictive value.
Main Results
- Significant post-treatment reductions in serum ALP, TSGF, and MIF observed (P<0.001).
- Elevated pre-treatment biomarker levels correlated with poorer treatment outcomes (P<0.001).
Conclusions
- Pre-treatment ALP, TSGF, and MIF levels are independent predictors of response to immunotargeted therapy in osteosarcoma.
- These biomarkers may help guide individualized treatment strategies for OS patients.
