BACKGROUND/AIM: Carbonic anhydrase IX (CA9) catalyses the interconversion of carbon dioxide to carbonic acid and bicarbonate and is considered a putative biomarker of tumour hypoxia. We set out to evaluate the prognostic significance of CA9 in prostate cancer.
Plasma samples were assessed from 68 men with high-risk localised prostate cancer treated with radical prostatectomy (RP) or radiotherapy (RT), and 20 men with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) treated with docetaxel chemotherapy between 2010 and 2012 at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, Canada.
Of the 68 patients with high-risk localised prostate cancer, 57 underwent RP and 11 underwent RT. Baseline CA9 was not associated with recurrence or prostate-specific antigen in either group (p=0.98 and 0.20, respectively). CA9 levels before chemotherapy correlated with overall survival (r=-0.37; two-sided p=0.11).
Baseline CA9 in men with CRPC may portend a more aggressive prostate cancer phenotype with poorer survival.
背景/目的:碳酸酐酶IX(CA9)催化二氧化碳与碳酸及碳酸氢根之间的相互转化,被认为是肿瘤缺氧的一种假定生物标志物。我们旨在评估CA9在前列腺癌中的预后意义。
对2010年至2012年期间在加拿大玛格丽特公主癌症中心接受治疗的68例接受根治性前列腺切除术(RP)或放疗(RT)的高危局限性前列腺癌男性患者以及20例接受多西他赛化疗的去势抵抗性前列腺癌(CRPC)男性患者的血浆样本进行了评估。
68例高危局限性前列腺癌患者中,57例行RP,11例行RT。两组中基线CA9均与复发或前列腺特异性抗原无关(p值分别为0.98和0.20)。化疗前CA9水平与总生存期相关(r = -0.37;双侧p = 0.11)。
CRPC男性患者的基线CA9可能预示前列腺癌表型更具侵袭性,生存期更差。
