to study brain metastases (BM) and their corresponding primary lung cancers (LCs).
Surgically resected BMs and their corresponding primary LCs from 30 patients (25 men, 83%; age 55±9 years) were studied: 21 adenocarcinomas (ACs), 5 squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs), 4 small cell lung carcinomas (SCLCs). The histological subtype, immunohistochemical expression of TTF1, p63, Ki67 (proliferative activity), CD31, number of intratumoral microvessels, (NIM) and survival were evaluated.
There was a different histological structure in 47% of the cases of ACs of the lung in comparison with the corresponding metastasis, but none in SCC and SCLC. TTF-1 was expressed in a greater number of ACs (n=20; 95%), with lower mean expression levels, while the corresponding BM expressed the marker less frequently (n=16;76%) with higher mean expression values (p=0.011). P63 was expressed in all SCCs (p=0.68). Cytokeratin 7 was expressed equally in all ACs. Ki-67 proliferative index (PI) was higher in SCLC than in AC (p=0.008), in SCLC BM than in AC BM (p<0.001), and in SCLC BM than in SCC BM (p=0.008). The Ki-67 PI in BM was higher than in AC (p=0.003), SCC (p=0.048), but without difference in SCLC (p=0.141). CD31 NIM was higher in AC than in SCLC (p=0.003), in SCC than in SCLC (p=0.009), while no difference between AC and SCC was found (p=0.467). There were no differences between LC/BM in the NIM. Survival after surgery for LC was significantly longer in AC than in SCLC (p=0.017). SCLC histology and Ki67>18% were established as negative prognostic factors after surgery for LC. Such factors were not found after surgery for BM.
There are differences between primary LC and corresponding BM - in histology, immunohistochemical expression and proliferative activity, but there are no significant differences in vascularization. SCLC histology and Ki67>8% may represent negative prognostic factors after surgery for LC with BM.
研究脑转移瘤(BM)及其相应的原发性肺癌(LC)。
对30例患者(25例男性,占83%;年龄55±9岁)手术切除的脑转移瘤及其相应的原发性肺癌进行研究:21例腺癌(AC)、5例鳞状细胞癌(SCC)、4例小细胞肺癌(SCLC)。评估组织学亚型、TTF1、p63、Ki67(增殖活性)、CD31的免疫组化表达、瘤内微血管数量(NIM)及生存期。
47%的肺腺癌病例与其相应转移瘤的组织学结构不同,而鳞状细胞癌和小细胞肺癌病例中则无此情况。更多的腺癌(n = 20;95%)表达TTF-1,平均表达水平较低,而相应的脑转移瘤表达该标志物的频率较低(n = 16;76%),平均表达值较高(p = 0.011)。所有鳞状细胞癌均表达p63(p = 0.68)。细胞角蛋白7在所有腺癌中的表达相同。小细胞肺癌的Ki-6�增殖指数(PI)高于腺癌(p = 0.008),小细胞肺癌脑转移瘤的Ki-67 PI高于腺癌脑转移瘤(p < 0.001),且高于鳞状细胞癌脑转移瘤(p = 0.008)。脑转移瘤中的Ki-67 PI高于腺癌(p = 0.003)、鳞状细胞癌(p = 0.048),但在小细胞肺癌中无差异(p = 0.141)。腺癌的CD31 NIM高于小细胞肺癌(p = 0.003),鳞状细胞癌的高于小细胞肺癌(p = 0.009),而腺癌和鳞状细胞癌之间无差异(p = 0.467)。肺癌/脑转移瘤在NIM方面无差异。腺癌患者肺癌手术后的生存期明显长于小细胞肺癌患者(p = 0.017)。小细胞肺癌组织学类型和Ki67>18%被确定为肺癌手术后的阴性预后因素。脑转移瘤手术后未发现此类因素。
原发性肺癌与其相应的脑转移瘤在组织学、免疫组化表达和增殖活性方面存在差异,但在血管生成方面无显著差异。小细胞肺癌组织学类型和Ki67>8%可能是伴有脑转移瘤的肺癌手术后的阴性预后因素。
