概括
在头部和部粘膜状细胞癌 (HNmSCC) 患者中检测循环瘤细胞 (CTC) 显示出独立的预后价值. 高CTC水平预测复发,有助于个性化治疗的风险分层.
科学领域:
- 在瘤学瘤学.
- 生物标志物 生物标志物
- 癌症研究 癌症研究
背景情况:
- 头癌 (HNC) 是一个全球性的健康挑战,常常在地方或地区复发.
- 循环瘤细胞 (CTC) 正在成为各种固体瘤中关键的预后生物标志物.
- 头部和部粘膜状细胞癌 (HNmSCC) 是一种普遍的亚型,需要改进复发预测.
研究的目的:
- 在HNmSCC.患者中检测和列举循环瘤细胞 (CTC).
- 评估CTCs对预测癌症复发的预后意义.
- 评估CTC作为HNmSCC管理中的生物标记物的实用性.
主要方法:
- 预期招募接受手术切除的HNC患者.
- 使用AccuCyte-CyteFinder平台对CTC进行术前和术后外周血液样本分析.
- 预后性能通过多变量逻辑回归,ROC分析和无复发生存分析来评估.
主要成果:
- 在81%的HNmSCC患者 (46/57) 中检测到CTC,平均每7.5毫升血液中有19个CTC.
- 术前切线≥5个CTC (CTC高状态) 与复发 (OR=9.52,p=0.022) 和较差的无复发存活率 (p=0.016) 显著相关.
- 在多变量分析中,CTC高状态仍然是复发的独立预测因素 (aOR=8-10),补充了边际参与 (aOR=6.17,p=0.024). 手术后的CTC也预测了复发 (OR=26.71,p=0.0009).
结论:
- 通过AccuCyte-CyteFinder检测到的CTC在HNmSCC中提供了独立的预后值.
- 术前CTC列举可以增强风险分层,用于识别患有复发高风险的患者.
- 这种方法补充了传统的病理学,可能引导个性化的监测和治疗策略.

Cancer Stem Cells and Tumor Maintenance
5.8K
Early diagnosis and treatment can often cure cancer. However, even with treatment, residual cells called cancer stem cells (CSC) might remain, often causing tumor recurrence. These cancer stem cells possess the potential for self-renewal and multi-lineage differentiation and are often responsible for the therapeutic resistance displayed in most cancers.
Cancer stem cells are thought to originate from tissue-specific normal stem cells or progenitor cells. The normal stem cells usually reside in...

Metastasis

Metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from the original site to distant locations in the body. Cancer cells can spread via blood vessels (hematogenous) as well as lymph vessels in the body.
Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...
