概括
高瘤突变负担 (TMB) 并没有显著影响微卫星稳定结直肠癌 (CRC) 的存活率. 像KRAS和CDKN2A这样的特定突变与更糟糕的预后相关,需要更好的生物标志物来对CRC患者的免疫检查点抑制剂 (ICI) 治疗反应作出反应.
科学领域:
- 在瘤学瘤学.
- 基因组学就是基因组学.
- 癌症治疗方法 癌症治疗方法
背景情况:
- 下一代测序 (NGS) 检测瘤突变负担 (TMB),这是免疫检查点抑制剂 (ICI) 在固体瘤中的有效性的生物标志物.
- 在微卫星稳定 (MSS) 大肠直肠癌 (CRC) 中,高TMB和ICI有效性的预后价值仍然没有确定性.
- 这项研究调查了TMB,特定突变和MSS CRC患者的结果之间的相关性.
研究的目的:
- 为了评估高TMB在MSS结直肠癌的预后意义.
- 评估特定突变 (KRAS,CDKN2A) 对MSSCRC的生存的影响.
- 探索免疫检查点抑制剂 (ICI) 在高TMB的MSSCRC患者的一个子集中的疗效.
主要方法:
- 对161名MSS结肠直肠癌患者的回顾性队列分析.
- 收集和分析了TMB和感兴趣的突变的下一代测序 (NGS) 数据.
- 对接受ICI治疗的患者进行了生存分析和描述性亚群分析.
主要成果:
- 在MSSCRC中高的TMB显示出更糟糕的生存趋势 (HR=1.38,P=0.28),但没有统计学意义.
- KRAS (HR=1.71,P=0.04) 和CDKN2A (HR=4.45,P<0.001) 突变与更糟糕的存活率显著相关.
- 在接受ICI治疗的12名高TMB MSS CRC患者中,有3人表现出长期无进展生存 (PFS),而9人表现出较短的PFS.
结论:
- 高TMB不是MSS结直肠癌的统计学上显著的预后标记.
- KRAS和CDKN2A突变与MSSCRC的预后较差有关.
- 虽然一些高TMB的MSSCRC患者对ICI有反应,但需要进一步研究来确定ICI治疗的预测生物标志物.

Tumor Progression

Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

Mismatch Repair
4.8K
Organisms are capable of detecting and fixing nucleotide mismatches that occur during DNA replication. This sophisticated process requires identifying the new strand and replacing the erroneous bases with correct nucleotides. Mismatch repair is coordinated by many proteins in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

Cancers Originate from Somatic Mutations in a Single Cell
11.9K
Cancer arises from mutations in the critical genes that allow healthy cells to escape cell cycle regulation and acquire the ability to proliferate indefinitely. Though originating from a single mutation event in one of the originator cells, cancer progresses when the mutant cell lines continue to gain more and more mutations, and finally, become malignant. For example, chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) develops initially as a non-lethal increase in white blood cells, which progressively...
