The objective of the study was to evaluate the prognostic effect of p53, PTEN, and concomitant p53 PTEN status on clinicopathologic features, recurrent disease, and disease-free survival (DFS) of 131 patients in FIGO stages I to II with epithelial ovarian cancer.
The technique of tissue microarray and immunohistochemistry was used for the detection of positivity of the biologic markers p53 and PTEN.
In the complete series, the 5-year DFS rate was 68%, and the overall survival rate was 71%. Positive staining for p53 and PTEN was detected in 25% and 22% of cases, respectively. Positivity of p53 was associated with tumor grade in the total series but not in the subgroup of serous tumors. In survival analysis, there was worse survival (P = 0.003) in the group of patients with p53-positive tumors compared with the group of patients with p53-negative tumors with DFS of 62% and 82%, respectively. Furthermore, DFS was 15% for the subgroup of patients with concomitant p53-positivity and PTEN-negativity of tumors compared with DFS of 62% for others in 1 group (p53+PTEN+, p53-PTEN+, p53-PTEN-) at 100 months. The difference was highly significant (P = 0.006). FIGO stage (odds ratio = 8.0) and p53 PTEN status (odds ratio = 0.6) were predictive factors for tumor recurrences in a logistic regression and prognostic factors with hazard ratios (HRs) of 4.0 and 0.6, respectively, in a multivariate Cox regression analysis. In a separate Cox regression analysis, FIGO stage (HR = 3.6) and p53 status (HR = 2.0) were prognostic factors for DFS. For serous tumors (n = 51) recurrent disease was associated with FIGO stage (P = 0.013), and p53 loss (P = 0.029) but not with FIGO grade (P = 0.169).
p53 status divides ovarian carcinomas into 2 subgroups after prognosis, also in serous tumors. Presence of PTEN in p53-positive tumors seems to protect from bad prognosis and absence of PTEN seems to worsen prognosis in early stages.
本研究的目的是评估 131 例FIGO Ⅰ至Ⅱ期上皮性卵巢癌患者的 p53、PTEN 及其同时表达状态对临床病理特征、复发疾病和无病生存(DFS)的预后影响。
采用组织微阵列和免疫组织化学技术检测生物标志物 p53 和 PTEN 的阳性表达。
在完整的研究系列中,5 年 DFS 率为 68%,总生存率为 71%。p53 和 PTEN 的阳性染色率分别为 25%和 22%。p53 阳性在整个研究系列中与肿瘤分级相关,但在浆液性肿瘤亚组中不相关。在生存分析中,与 p53 阴性肿瘤患者相比,p53 阳性肿瘤患者的生存状况较差(P=0.003),DFS 率分别为 62%和 82%。此外,在伴有 p53 阳性和 PTEN 阴性肿瘤的亚组中,DFS 为 15%,而在 1 组中,DFS 为 62%(p53+PTEN+,p53-PTEN+,p53-PTEN-),100 个月时差异具有统计学意义(P=0.006)。FIGO 分期(比值比=8.0)和 p53-PTEN 状态(比值比=0.6)是逻辑回归中肿瘤复发的预测因素,在多变量 Cox 回归分析中,危险比(HR)分别为 4.0 和 0.6。在单独的 Cox 回归分析中,FIGO 分期(HR=3.6)和 p53 状态(HR=2.0)是 DFS 的预后因素。对于浆液性肿瘤(n=51),复发疾病与 FIGO 分期(P=0.013)和 p53 缺失(P=0.029)相关,而与 FIGO 分级无关(P=0.169)。
p53 状态将卵巢癌分为 2 个亚组,也包括浆液性肿瘤。在 p53 阳性肿瘤中存在 PTEN 似乎可以保护免受不良预后,而不存在 PTEN 似乎会使早期阶段的预后恶化。
