Cellular senescence is a terminal cell-cycle arrest that occurs in response to activated oncogenes and DNA-damaging chemotherapy. Whether cancer cell senescence at diagnosis might be predictive for treatment outcome is unknown.
A senescence index (SI) was developed and used to retrospectively correlate the treatment outcome of 30 UICC stage IV colorectal cancer (CRC) patients with their SI at diagnosis.
5-Fluorouracil/leucovorin-treated CRC patients achieved a significantly longer progression-free survival when presenting with SI-positive tumours before therapy (median 12.0 vs 6.0 months; P=0.044).
Cancer cell senescence predicts treatment outcome in metastasised CRC. Prospective analyses of larger patient cohorts are needed.
细胞衰老(cellular senescence)是一种细胞周期的终止,它是对激活的致癌基因和 DNA 损伤化疗的反应。在诊断时,癌细胞衰老是否可能对治疗结果具有预测性尚不清楚。
开发了一个衰老指数(SI),并用于回顾性分析 30 例 UICC Ⅳ期结直肠癌(CRC)患者的治疗结果与其诊断时的 SI 之间的相关性。
氟尿嘧啶/亚叶酸治疗的 CRC 患者,在治疗前 SI 阳性肿瘤时,无进展生存期显著延长(中位数 12.0 个月 vs 6.0 个月;P=0.044)。
在转移性 CRC 中,癌细胞衰老可预测治疗结果。需要对更大的患者队列进行前瞻性分析。
