The Complexity INdex in SARComas (CINSARC) is a transcriptional signature derived from the expression of 67 genes involved in mitosis control and chromosome integrity. This study aims to assess CINSARC value of in an independent series of high-risk patients with localized soft tissue sarcoma (STS) treated with preoperative chemotherapy within a prospective, randomized, phase III study (ISG-STS 1001).
Patients with available pre-treatment samples, treated with 3 cycles of either standard (ST) preoperative or histotype-tailored (HT) chemotherapy, were scored according to CINSARC (low-risk, C1; high-risk, C2). The 10-year overall survival probability (pr-OS) according to SARCULATOR was calculated, and patients were classified accordingly (low-risk, Sarc-LR, 10-year pr-OS>60%; high-risk, Sarc-HR, 10-year pr-OS<60%). Survival functions were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared using log-rank test.
Eighty-six patients were included, 30 C1 and 56 C2, 49 Sarc-LR and 37 Sarc-HR. A low level of agreement between CINSARC and SARCULATOR was observed (Cohen's Kappa = 0.174). The 5-year relapse-free survival in C1 and C2 were 0.57 and 0.55 (p = 0.481); 5-year metastases-free survival 0.63 and 0.64 (p = 0.740); 5-year OS 0.80 and 0.72 (p = 0.460). The 5-year OS in C1 treated with ST and HT chemotherapy was 0.84 and 0.76 (p = 0.251) respectively; in C2 treated it was 0.72 and 0.70 (p = 0.349). The 5-year OS in Sarc-LR treated with S and HT chemotherapy was 0.80 and 0.82 (p = 0.502) respectively; in Sarc-HR it was 0.70 and 0.61 (p = 0.233).
Our results, although constrained by the small size of the series, suggest that CINSARC has weak prognostic power in high-risk, localized STS treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
肉瘤中的复杂性指数(CINSARC)是一个转录特征,源自参与有丝分裂控制和染色体完整性的 67 个基因的表达。本研究旨在评估 CINSARC 在一项前瞻性、随机、III 期研究(ISG-STS 1001)中接受术前化疗的局部软组织肉瘤(STS)高危患者的独立系列中的价值。
对接受标准(ST)术前或组织类型定制(HT)化疗的 3 个周期治疗且有可用预处理样本的患者进行 CINSARC(低危,C1;高危,C2)评分。根据 SARCULATOR 计算 10 年总生存概率(pr-OS),并进行相应分类(低危,Sarc-LR,10 年 pr-OS>60%;高危,Sarc-HR,10 年 pr-OS<60%)。使用 Kaplan-Meier 法估计生存函数,并使用对数秩检验进行比较。
共纳入 86 例患者,其中 C1 患者 30 例,C2 患者 56 例,Sarc-LR 患者 49 例,Sarc-HR 患者 37 例。CINSARC 和 SARCULATOR 之间的一致性水平较低(Cohen's Kappa = 0.174)。C1 和 C2 的 5 年无复发生存率分别为 0.57 和 0.55(p = 0.481);5 年无转移生存分别为 0.63 和 0.64(p = 0.740);5 年总生存分别为 0.80 和 0.72(p = 0.460)。C1 组接受 ST 和 HT 化疗的 5 年 OS 分别为 0.84 和 0.76(p = 0.251),C2 组分别为 0.72 和 0.70(p = 0.349)。Sarc-LR 组接受 ST 和 HT 化疗的 5 年 OS 分别为 0.80 和 0.82(p = 0.502),Sarc-HR 组分别为 0.70 和 0.61(p = 0.233)。
尽管受系列规模较小的限制,但我们的结果表明,在接受新辅助化疗的局部高危 STS 患者中,CINSARC 的预后能力较弱。
