Altered tumor suppressor genes (TSG-alt) in prostate cancer are associated with worse outcomes. The prognostic value of TSG-alt in metastatic, hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (M1-HSPC) is unknown. We evaluated the effects of TSG-alt on outcomes in M1-HSPC and their prognostic impact by first-line treatment.
We retrospectively identified patients with M1-HSPC at our institution treated with first-line androgen deprivation therapy plus docetaxel (ADT + D) or abiraterone acetate (ADT + A). TSG-alt was defined as any alteration in one or more TSG. The main outcomes were Kaplan-Meier-estimated progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival, analyzed with the log-rank test. Clinical characteristics were compared with the χ test and Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test. Cox regression was used for univariate and multivariable analyses.
We identified 97 patients with M1-HSPC: 48 (49%) with ADT + A and 49 (51%) with ADT + D. Of 96 patients with data available, 33 (34%) had 1 TSG-alt, 16 (17%) had 2 TSG-alt, and 2 (2%) had 3 TSG-alt. The most common alterations were in TP53 (36%) and PTEN (31%); 6% had RB1 alterations. Median PFS was 13.1 (95% CI, 10.3-26.0) months for patients with normal TSGs (TSG-normal) vs. 7.8 (95% CI, 5.8-10.5) months for TSG-alt (P = 0.005). Median PFS was lower for patients with TSG-alt vs TSG-normal for those with ADT + A (TSG-alt: 8.0 [95% CI, 5.8-13.8] months vs. TSG-normal: 23.2 [95% CI, 13.1-not estimated] months), but not with ADT + D (TSG-alt: 7.8 [95% CI, 5.7-12.9] months vs. TSG-normal: 9.5 [95% CI, 4.8-24.7] months). On multivariable analysis, only TSG-alt predicted worse PFS (hazard ratio, 2.37; 95% CI, 1.42-3.96; P < 0.001).
The presence of TSG-alt outperforms clinical criteria for predicting early progression during first-line treatment of M1-HSPC. ADT + A was less effective in patients with than without TSG-alt. Confirmation of these findings may establish the need for inclusion of molecular stratification in treatment algorithms.
前列腺癌中改变的肿瘤抑制基因(TSG-alt)与更差的预后相关。在转移性、激素敏感型前列腺癌(M1-HSPC)中,TSG-alt 的预后价值尚不清楚。我们评估了 TSG-alt 对 M1-HSPC 患者一线治疗结局的影响及其预后影响。
我们回顾性地确定了我院接受一线雄激素剥夺治疗加多西他赛(ADT+D)或醋酸阿比特龙(ADT+A)治疗的 M1-HSPC 患者。TSG-alt 定义为一个或多个 TSG 的任何改变。主要结局是通过对数秩检验分析的 Kaplan-Meier 估计无进展生存期(PFS)和总生存期。采用 χ 检验和 Kruskal-Wallis 秩和检验比较临床特征。采用单因素和多因素分析 Cox 回归。
我们确定了 97 例 M1-HSPC 患者:48 例(49%)接受 ADT+A 治疗,49 例(51%)接受 ADT+D 治疗。在 96 例有数据可查的患者中,33 例(34%)有 1 个 TSG-alt,16 例(17%)有 2 个 TSG-alt,2 例(2%)有 3 个 TSG-alt。最常见的改变是 TP53(36%)和 PTEN(31%);6%的患者存在 RB1 改变。TSG 正常(TSG-正常)患者的中位 PFS 为 13.1 个月(95%CI,10.3-26.0),而 TSG-alt 患者为 7.8 个月(95%CI,5.8-10.5)(P=0.005)。对于接受 ADT+A 治疗的患者,与 TSG-正常相比,TSG-alt 患者的中位 PFS 更低(TSG-alt:8.0 个月[95%CI,5.8-13.8] vs. TSG-正常:23.2 个月[95%CI,13.1-未估计]),但接受 ADT+D 治疗的患者则不然(TSG-alt:7.8 个月[95%CI,5.7-12.9] vs. TSG-正常:9.5 个月[95%CI,4.8-24.7])。多因素分析显示,只有 TSG-alt 预测 PFS 更差(危险比,2.37;95%CI,1.42-3.96;P<0.001)。
在 M1-HSPC 患者的一线治疗中,TSG-alt 的存在优于临床标准,可预测早期进展。ADT+A 在 TSG-alt 阳性患者中的疗效不如 TSG-alt 阴性患者。这些发现的证实可能需要将分子分层纳入治疗算法中。
