To determine the association between the FGFR3 mutation status and immuno-histochemistry (IHC) markers (p53 and Ki-67) in invasive bladder cancer (BC), and to analyze their prognostic value in a multicenter, multi-laboratory radical cystectomy (RC) cohort.
We included 1058 cN0M0, chemotherapy-naive BC patients who underwent RC with pelvic lymph-node dissection at 8 hospitals. The specimens were reviewed by uro-pathologists. Mutations in the FGFR3 gene were examined using PCR-SNaPshot; p53 and Ki-67 expression were determined by standard IHC. FGFR3 mutation status as well as p53 (cut-off>10%) and Ki-67 (cut-off>20%) expression were correlated to clinicopathological parameters and disease specific survival (DSS).
pT-stage was <pT2 in 80, pT2 in 266, pT3 in 513 and pT4 in 199 patients, respectively. Cancer-positive nodes were found in 410 (39%) patients. An FGFR3 mutation was detected in 107 (10%) and aberrant p53 and Ki-67 expression in 718 (68%) and 581(55%) tumors, respectively. The FGFR3 mutation was associated with lower pT-stage (P<0.001), lower grade (P<0.001), pN0 (P=0.001) and prolonged DSS (P<0.001). Aberrant Ki-67 and p53 expression were associated with higher pT-stage and G3-tumors, but not with pN-stage or worse DSS, even if these IHC-biomarkers were combined (P=0.81). Significant predictors for DSS in multivariable analysis were pT-stage (HR1.5, 95%CI:1.3-1.6; P<0.001), lympho-vascular invasion (LVI) (HR1.4, 95%CI:1.2-1.7; P=0.001), pN-stage (HR1.9, 95%CI:1.6-2.4; P<0.001) and FGFR3 mutation status (HR1.6, 95%CI:1.1-2.2; P=0.011).
The FGFR3 mutation selectively identified patients with favorable BC at RC while p53 and Ki-67 were only associated with adverse tumor characteristics. Our results suggest that, besides tumor-stage, nodal-status and LVI, the oncogenic FGFR3 mutation may represent a valuable tool to guide adjuvant treatment and follow-up strategies after RC.
确定浸润性膀胱癌(BC)中FGFR3突变状态与免疫组织化学(IHC)标志物(p53和Ki-67)之间的关联,并分析它们在多中心、多实验室根治性膀胱切除术(RC)队列中的预后价值。
我们纳入了1058例cN0M0、未接受过化疗的BC患者,这些患者在8家医院接受了RC及盆腔淋巴结清扫术。标本由泌尿病理学家进行复查。使用PCR-SNaPshot检测FGFR3基因的突变;通过标准IHC测定p53和Ki-67的表达。FGFR3突变状态以及p53(临界值>10%)和Ki-67(临界值>20%)的表达与临床病理参数和疾病特异性生存(DSS)相关。
分别有80例、266例、513例和199例患者的pT分期<pT2、pT2、pT3和pT4。410例(39%)患者发现癌阳性淋巴结。107例(10%)肿瘤检测到FGFR3突变,分别有718例(68%)和581例(55%)肿瘤存在p53和Ki-67异常表达。FGFR3突变与较低的pT分期(P<0.001)、较低分级(P<0.001)、pN0(P=0.001)和较长的DSS(P<0.001)相关。Ki-67和p53异常表达与较高的pT分期和G3肿瘤相关,但与pN分期或更差的DSS无关,即使将这些IHC生物标志物联合起来也是如此(P=0.81)。多变量分析中DSS的显著预测因素为pT分期(HR1.5,95%CI:1.3 - 1.6;P<0.001)、淋巴管浸润(LVI)(HR1.4,95%CI:1.2 - 1.7;P=0.001)、pN分期(HR1.9,95%CI:1.6 - 2.4;P<0.001)和FGFR3突变状态(HR1.6,95%CI:1.1 - 2.2;P=0.011)。
FGFR3突变可选择性地识别出RC时BC预后良好的患者,而p53和Ki-67仅与不良肿瘤特征相关。我们的结果表明,除了肿瘤分期、淋巴结状态和LVI外,致癌性FGFR3突变可能是指导RC术后辅助治疗和随访策略的有价值工具。
