Introduction: Early detection is critical to improving cancer patient survival and quality of life. Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) methylation profiling is a promising diagnostic approach for early detection of cancer, even before symptoms appear. We previously reported a non-invasive and cost-effective methylation test, Aurora, which is able to detect three major cancer types with high specificity and sensitivity especially at early stages (I/II), including lung cancer (LC), breast cancer (BC), colorectal cancer (CRC). We have improved this test to include two additional major cancer types, gastric cancer (GC) and esophageal cancer (EC). Taking together, these five cancer types represent 56% of new cancer cases and 60% of cancer-related deaths in China. Methods: We developed a novel high-throughput targeted methylation profiling platform, Aurora 2.0 (an improved version of Aurora 1.0, as presented in AACR 2020), to efficiently enrich and capture cancer-specific DNA methylation markers in plasma, prior to analysis via next-generation sequencing on a MiSeqDx system. About 100 cases each for GC and EC patients (mostly at Stage I/II), together with ~200 healthy controls, have been analyzed by using Aurora 2.0 and used for model development and validation. Results and Discussion: cfDNA methylation profiles have been obtained from 409 plasma samples, comprising 206 healthy controls, 98 GC and 105 EC patients. Logistic regression model has been developed with the Area Under Curve (AUC) of 94.0% and 93.5% for GC and EC, respectively. Overall, the performance (AUC) of Aurora 2.0 for LC/BC/CRC/GC/EC are 97.3%, 96.2%, 92%, 94% and 93.5%, respectively. An independent cohort (~2,000 plasma samples, five cancer types including lung, breast, colorectal, gastric and esophageal cancers with healthy controls) study is undergoing to further validate this test prospectively. The superior performance and cost-effectiveness (~$100) of the test could make early cancer screening of multiple major cancers in symptom-free and average-risk populations more achievable.

Background: Observational studies indicate that calcium, a micronutrient involved in numerous cell-signaling cascades, may protect against colon cancer. Stratified analyses suggest the protective effect of calcium may depend on sex and anatomic subsite, but these hypotheses have been difficult to test experimentally. Here, we employ human-derived normal colon 3D organoids as a model of the healthy colon crypt to interrogate the effect of calcium exposure on gene expression and the effect of donor sex and biopsy anatomic subsite on the response to calcium. Methods: A total of 39 3D colon organoid lines derived from colon biopsies (22 proximal, 17 distal) obtained from unrelated subjects (21 female, 18 male) during screening colonoscopy were grown under low (1.7 mM) calcium conditions, and a matching set of the same lines were grown under high (5.0 mM) calcium conditions. After 72 hours, total RNA was extracted from organoid lines, libraries were prepared with poly-A selection, and bulk RNA-sequencing was used to measure gene expression. DNA was extracted from the same lines and genotyped using the OncoArray 500K beadchip. Missing genotypes were imputed to the TOPMed reference panel using the TOPMed Imputation Server. Polygenic risk scores for colorectal cancer were calculated for each organoid line using Plink and 135 of 141 genome-wide significant SNPs associated with colorectal cancer in recent genome-wide association studies. Relative expression between low and high calcium conditions was tested using generalized linear models as implemented in DESeq2. Functional enrichment of gene ontologies among differentially expressed genes was performed with ToppFun. The effects of donor sex, biopsy subsite, and organoid polygenic risk score on response to calcium were tested using single and multiple linear regression as implemented in the base R lm function. Results: Exposure to calcium induced differential expression of 767 genes with a false discovery rate of 5%. Differentially expressed genes were enriched for biological processes including extracellular structure organization (Bonferroni p=1.6E-3) and positive regulation of apoptosis (Bonferroni p=2.2E-2). Although stratified analyses demonstrated more differentially expressed genes in 3D colon organoids derived from male subjects, no statistically significant effect of sex, subsite, or polygenic risk score on response to calcium was observed. Conclusion: We tested the effect of calcium exposure on gene expression in human-derived normal colon 3D organoids and found that calcium modulated processes related to differentiation and apoptosis, but the response to calcium was not affected by sex, anatomic subsite, or polygenic risk score.

背景:观察性研究表明,钙,一种参与许多细胞信号级联反应的微量营养素,可能预防结肠癌。分层分析表明,钙的保护作用可能取决于性别和解剖亚位,但这些假设很难通过实验来验证。在这里,我们采用人类来源的正常结肠3D类器官作为健康结肠隐窝的模型,来探究钙暴露对基因表达的影响,以及供体性别和活检解剖亚位点对钙反应的影响。方法:在结肠镜筛查过程中,从无亲缘关系的受试者(21名女性,18名男性)获得结肠活检标本(22名近端,17名远端),在低钙(1.7 mM)条件下培养39个3D结肠类器官细胞系,在高钙(5.0 mM)条件下培养一组相同的细胞系。72h后,提取类器官细胞系的总RNA,采用poly-A选择建立文库,采用大体积RNA测序法测定基因表达。从相同的细胞系中提取DNA,使用OncoArray 500K头芯片进行基因分型。使用TOPMed Imputation Server将缺失的基因型输入到TOPMed参考面板。在最近的全基因组关联研究中,使用Plink和141个与结直肠癌相关的全基因组显著snp中的135个计算了每个类器官系的结直肠癌多基因风险评分。采用DESeq2中实现的广义线性模型检验低钙和高钙条件之间的相对表达。利用ToppFun对差异表达基因的基因本体进行功能富集。供体性别、活检亚部位和类器官多基因风险评分对钙反应的影响采用基础R - lm函数中实施的单线性和多元线性回归进行测试。结果:钙暴露诱导767个基因差异表达,错误发现率为5%。差异表达基因富集于细胞外结构组织(Bonferroni p=1.6E-3)和细胞凋亡的正向调控(Bonferroni p= 2.22 e -2)等生物过程。虽然分层分析显示,来自男性受试者的三维结肠类器官中有更多的差异表达基因,但没有观察到性别、亚位点或多基因风险评分对钙反应的统计学显著影响。结论:我们测试了钙暴露对人源性正常结肠3D类器官基因表达的影响,发现钙调节了与分化和凋亡相关的过程,但对钙的反应不受性别、解剖亚位点或多基因风险评分的影响。引用格式:Christopher H.

Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest malignancies in the US. Most cases are diagnosed in the late, non-resectable stages largely due to lack of effective screening tests. There is an urgent need to identify modifiable risk factors for primary prevention of this malignancy. To date, only a few risk factors (family history, smoking, and type-2 diabetes) have been identified for pancreatic cancer. Although several lines of evidence suggest that nutrition plays a role in pancreatic cancer, few nutrients have been consistently associated with its risk in epidemiologic studies. Therefore, the present study sought to investigate the association between the 2015 Healthy Eating Index (HEI-2015) score and pancreatic cancer risk among participants in the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial (PLCO). The HEI-2015 is a measure of overall diet quality used to assess how well a diet conforms to key recommendations of the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. The HEI score is made up of 13 food components, with higher scores (ranged 0-100 points) indicating better dietary quality. In the present study, the HEI-2015 scores were calculated from participant responses to two food frequency questionnaires, dietary questionnaire (DQX) and dietary history questionnaire (DHQ) administered at baseline and the three-year anniversary of enrollment, respectively. During a median follow-up of 12.2 years, 279 cases of pancreatic cancer were identified among 58,477 participants who completed the DQX, while 101,721 participants who responded to the DHQ gave rise to 380 cases of pancreatic cancer over a median follow-up of 8.9 years. Hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence internals (CI) were estimated using Cox proportional hazards regression for total HEI score and individual score components, classified into adequacy components (total fruit, whole fruits, total vegetables, greens and beans, whole grains, dairy, total protein foods, seafood and plant proteins, and fatty acids) and moderation components (refined grains, sodium, added sugars, and saturated fats). After adjustment for confounders, no significant association between total HEI score and pancreatic cancer was identified [HR (95% CI) for quartile (Q) 4 vs. Q1: 0.86 (0.60, 1.09) for DQX and 1.03 (0.77, 1.39) for DHQ]. The individual component scores for total vegetables and added sugar in the DHQ analysis and whole grain score in the DQX analysis were inversely associated with pancreatic cancer risk [HR (95% CI) for one-point score increase: 0.89 (0.81, 0.98), 0.95 (0.91, 0.99), and 0.94 (0.89, 0.99), respectively]. In summary, our study did not find a significant association between overall diet quality and pancreatic cancer risk but revealed significant associations with total vegetables, added sugar, and whole grains in the PLCO trial.

Head and neck cancer long term survival has only experienced marginal gains over the past 3 decades. Further, there is inadequate understanding of the biology of carcinogenesis and recurrence, as well as its relation to the microenvironment. Deeper understanding of these areas would provide improved molecular target identification. In pursuit of this goal, a small clinical trial collected lesion and adjacent normal-appearing mucosa for subsequent RNA-seq analysis. Patients were grouped by post-surgical pathology as either precancer (hyperplasia - severe dysplasia) or cancer (carcinoma in situ - early stage invasive cancer). Following identification of differentially expressed (DE) genes, DE genesets were submitted for Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA). Hierarchical clustering illustrates distinct separation between lesion and perilesional normal mucosa of the top 100 DE genes. Among the top 25 dysregulated pathways, 50% were associated with creation of fibrotic tumor microenvironment (TME), 20% were related to changes in immune populations inhabiting the TME and 10% devoted to metabolism changes. Subgroup analysis, (precancer vs. cancer), revealed dysregulation of metabolism (~50%) predominating in precancer. Metabolism remained an important dysregulation at 30% of the top 25 pathways in cancer. Protein network analysis, (Metascape on-line tool), confirmed IPA results, illustrating an extensive, previously undescribed, interconnectedness of fibrosis with shifts in fatty acid metabolism from oxidative to gluconeogenesis, providing a foundation for choosing targets amenable to cancer prevention. Several notable pathways are likely contributed to by inflammatory and other cells in the milieu, not precancer cells themselves. So, we dove deeper, using EpIC (Epitope Immunogenicity Characterization) algorithm to assess relative percentages of non-tumor cells based on 20-count gene signatures. Gene expression favored a profile of significantly increasing cancer-associated fibroblasts, decreasing CD-8 killer T cells, and increasing vascular endothelial cells during progression, with macrophage content slightly increasing in cancer specimens. These findings suggest interaction between immunoinflammatory milieu and precancerous cells promoting malignancy. Several high yield target pathways are related to published mechanisms of action for drugs of high interest to our cancer prevention program (pioglitazone/metformin). Further, we confirmed protein network analysis in an additional oral carcinoma dataset from Conway et. al, (Oncotarget 2015). Citation Format: Gretchen M. Unger, Beverly R. Wuertz, Charles L.

头颈癌的长期生存率在过去的30年里只有很小的提高。此外,人们对癌变和复发的生物学及其与微环境的关系了解不足。深入了解这些领域将有助于改进分子靶标识别。为了实现这一目标,一项小型临床试验收集了病变和邻近正常粘膜,用于随后的RNA-seq分析。患者根据术后病理分为癌前病变(增生-严重不典型增生)或癌(原位癌-早期浸润性癌)。鉴定差异表达(DE)基因后,将DE基因集提交独创性途径分析(Ingenuity Pathway Analysis, IPA)。分级聚类显示前100个DE基因在病变和病变周围正常粘膜之间有明显的分离。在前25个失调通路中,50%与纤维化肿瘤微环境(TME)的产生有关,20%与居住在TME中的免疫群体的变化有关,10%与代谢变化有关。亚组分析(癌前病变vs癌前病变)显示代谢失调(约50%)主要发生在癌前病变。在癌症的前25个途径中,30%的代谢仍然是一个重要的失调。蛋白质网络分析(metscape在线工具)证实了IPA结果,说明了先前未描述的纤维化与脂肪酸代谢从氧化到糖异生的转变之间的广泛相互联系,为选择适合癌症预防的靶点提供了基础。一些值得注意的途径可能是由环境中的炎症细胞和其他细胞促成的,而不是癌前细胞本身。因此,我们深入研究,使用EpIC(表位免疫原性表征)算法来评估基于20计数基因签名的非肿瘤细胞的相对百分比。基因表达倾向于癌症相关成纤维细胞显著增加,CD-8杀伤T细胞减少,血管内皮细胞增加,在癌症标本中巨噬细胞含量略有增加。这些发现提示免疫炎症环境与促进恶性肿瘤的癌前细胞之间存在相互作用。一些高产靶标途径与癌症预防项目(吡格列酮/二甲双胍)中已发表的药物的作用机制有关。此外,我们在Conway等人的另一个口腔癌数据集中证实了蛋白质网络分析(Oncotarget 2015)。引文格式:Gretchen M.

Metabolism remained an important dysregulation at 30% of the top 25 pathways in cancer. Protein network analysis, (Metascape on-line tool), confirmed IPA results, illustrating an extensive, previously undescribed, interconnectedness of fibrosis with shifts in fatty acid metabolism from oxidative to gluconeogenesis, providing a foundation for choosing targets amenable to cancer prevention. Several notable pathways are likely contributed to by inflammatory and other cells in the milieu, not precancer cells themselves. So, we dove deeper, using EpIC (Epitope Immunogenicity Characterization) algorithm to assess relative percentages of non-tumor cells based on 20-count gene signatures. Gene expression favored a profile of significantly increasing cancer-associated fibroblasts, decreasing CD-8 killer T cells, and increasing vascular endothelial cells during progression, with macrophage content slightly increasing in cancer specimens. These findings suggest interaction between immunoinflammatory milieu and precancerous cells promoting malignancy. Several high yield target pathways are related to published mechanisms of action for drugs of high interest to our cancer prevention program (pioglitazone/metformin). Further, we confirmed protein network analysis in an additional oral carcinoma dataset from Conway et. al, (Oncotarget 2015). Citation Format: Gretchen M. Unger, Beverly R. Wuertz, Charles L.

Persistent and symptomatic reflux of gastric and duodenal contents, known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), is the strongest risk factor for EAC development. GERD and esophagitis occur at similar rates among Blacks and Caucasians; yet, progression to EAC is significantly elevated among Caucasians. Unique protective factors in the epithelium of Blacks may contribute to this disparity. Our research team recently reported that the detoxification enzyme GSTT2 is higher in the esophageal squamous epithelium of Blacks compared to Caucasians with potential linkages to previously identified genomic variants in the GSTT2 locus (a 37 kb deletion and a 17 bp promoter duplication among Caucasians). Thus, the current study seeks to evaluate whether primary esophageal cell cultures isolated from Black or Caucasian cohorts can serve as discerning and relevant model systems to investigate risk factors linked to EAC progression, assess efficacy of mitigating agents and differential responses linked to race. We have shown that cranberry proanthocyanidins (C-PAC) mitigate DNA damage associated with reflux through upregulation of GSTT2 in a rat surgical model of reflux-induced EAC, but whether effects are recapitulated in humans or differentially based on race remains unknown. Herein we isolated normal primary esophageal epithelial cells from Black and Caucasian patients and assessed GSTT2 genotype, GSTT2 protein levels and cellular viability following exposure of the cultures to a bile acid cocktail (BAC) [0.2mM] with and without C-PAC [50µg/ml] treatment. Constitutive levels of GSTT2 were 1.7-fold higher in Blacks than Caucasians, with 71% of Blacks identified as high expressors compared to 33% of Caucasians. Pretreatment (48h) of primary cultures with C-PAC induced GSTT2 levels in all but one Black-derived culture which already expressed high basal levels. GSTT2 induction in normal epithelial cultures by C-PAC was greatest in cells with constitutively low GSTT2 expression; however, upon BAC challenge C-PAC effectively mitigated BAC-induced reductions in GSTT2 levels and subsequent loss of normal cell viability regardless of basal GSTT2 expression or race. C-PAC treatment pre- plus post-BAC imparted no additional benefit over pretreatment alone in preserving viability but did further increase GSTT2 levels. Next steps include expanding our panel of primary cultures and conducting nano LC-MS/MS proteomic profiling of Black and Caucasian-derived cultures treated with vehicle, BAC, C-PAC and BAC + C-PAC, with stratification based on GSTT2 basal expression. Taken together these data support that C-PAC may be used as an efficacious non-toxic agent serving to promote epithelial fitness and resiliency against the biologic and molecular sequelae linked bile acid-induced esophageal injury and progression to EAC.

胃和十二指肠内容物持续和有症状的反流,被称为胃食管反流病(GERD),是EAC发展的最强危险因素。黑人和白种人的反流和食管炎发生率相似;然而,白种人的EAC进展率明显升高。黑人上皮中独特的保护因子可能导致这种差异。我们的研究小组最近报道说,与高加索人相比,黑人食管鳞状上皮中的解毒酶GSTT2更高,这可能与先前确定的GSTT2位点的基因组变异(高加索人的37 kb缺失和17 bp启动子重复)有关。因此,目前的研究旨在评估从黑人或高加索人群中分离的原代食管细胞培养物是否可以作为识别和相关的模型系统,以调查与EAC进展相关的危险因素,评估缓解药物的功效和与种族相关的差异反应。我们已经证明,在反流诱导的EAC大鼠手术模型中,蔓越莓原花青素(C-PAC)通过上调GSTT2减轻与反流相关的DNA损伤,但是否在人类中重现或基于种族的差异仍然未知。在此,我们从黑人和白人患者中分离出正常的原代食管上皮细胞,并在将培养物暴露于胆汁酸鸡尾酒(BAC) [0.2mM]中(含和不含C-PAC[50µg/ml])后,评估GSTT2基因型、GSTT2蛋白水平和细胞活力。黑人的GSTT2组成水平比白种人高1.7倍,71%的黑人被确定为高表达者,而白种人的这一比例为33%。用C-PAC预处理原代培养(48h),除了一个black衍生培养外,其余培养的GSTT2水平已经很高。C-PAC对正常上皮细胞GSTT2的诱导作用在GSTT2低表达的细胞中最大;然而,在BAC挑战时,C-PAC有效地减轻了BAC诱导的GSTT2水平降低和随后正常细胞活力的丧失,而不管GSTT2的基础表达或种族如何。与单独预处理相比,C-PAC治疗前后加bac治疗在维持生存能力方面没有额外的益处,但确实进一步增加了GSTT2水平。下一步包括扩大我们的原代培养小组,并对用载体、BAC、C-PAC和BAC + C-PAC处理的黑人和高加索人培养物进行纳米LC-MS/MS蛋白质组学分析,并根据GSTT2基础表达进行分层。综上所示,这些数据支持C-PAC可以作为一种有效的无毒药物,用于促进上皮的适应性和弹性,以对抗胆汁酸诱导的食管损伤和进展为EAC的生物和分子后遗症。引用格式:Katherine M.

Introduction: Melanoma develops either de novo or from non-obligate precursor lesions known as atypical/dysplastic nevi. Assessment of change in number and morphology of pigmented cutaneous lesions over time is critical to early detection of skin cancers and may provide preliminary signals of efficacy in early phase therapeutic prevention trials for melanoma. Despite the use of total body digital photography for at least 20 years to document the presence of these lesions, as well as recent progress in computer-aided diagnosis of lesions in clinical images, automated methods to characterize the evolution of skin lesions are still lacking. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a computer vision approach to facilitate detection and quantification of changes in nevi in serial digital photographs. Methods: The ‘DermaViz9 mathematical algorithms were developed to register nevi between sequential images and to align images for improved comparison. The technique is based on the bispectrum algorithm, modified to adapt for human skin changes. Adaptive normalization techniques adjust for lighting and skin tone variations. Warping and shear of skin are accommodated by a hierarchical iteration of these algorithms coupled with probabilistic matching techniques for accurate alignment. The technology allows both for improved qualitative comparison by clinicians when the aligned images are toggled between dates, and for digital quantification of changes in (a)symmetry, (b)order, (c)olor, and (d)iameter of the lesions. In this pilot study, serial posterior truncal photographs from 17 patients with multiple atypical nevi and a history of melanoma were obtained from a pre-existing image and nevus biobanking protocol database at our institution. De-identified images were processed and analyzed with DermaViz software, and results were validated by a panel of Melanoma Program clinicians. Results: DermaViz software had a high sensitivity for detection of cutaneous lesions as small as 2mm, which was limited by the quality of the archival photographs. The software registered specific nevi accurately in most cases, with sight errors in a small number of lesions that were primarily located at the edges of the images. In the 17-patient pilot study, registration and alignment of serial images enabled clinicians to identify new and enlarged nevi in 3 to 11 additional patients vs the unregistered images. Quantification with DermaViz correlated with physician assessment of new and enlarged nevi in 90% of evaluated lesions. Conclusion: Software has been designed, applied, and validated that dramatically improves detection of changes in nevi over time and enables quantification of these changes.

简介:黑色素瘤要么从头开始发展,要么从非特异性前体病变发展,称为非典型/发育不良痣。随着时间的推移,评估色素皮肤病变数量和形态的变化对于皮肤癌的早期发现至关重要,并可能为黑色素瘤的早期治疗预防试验提供疗效的初步信号。尽管使用全身数码摄影至少20年来记录这些病变的存在,以及最近在临床图像中计算机辅助诊断病变方面取得的进展,但仍然缺乏表征皮肤病变演变的自动化方法。本研究的目的是开发和验证计算机视觉方法,以方便检测和量化连续数码照片中痣的变化。方法:开发了' DermaViz9数学算法,用于序列图像之间的痣配准和图像对齐,以改善比较。该技术是基于双谱算法,修改以适应人类皮肤的变化。自适应归一化技术调整光照和肤色变化。这些算法的分层迭代加上精确对齐的概率匹配技术,可以适应皮肤的扭曲和剪切。当对齐图像在不同日期之间切换时,该技术既可以提高临床医生的定性比较,也可以对病变的(a)对称性、(b)顺序、(c)颜色和(d)直径的变化进行数字量化。在这项初步研究中,从我们机构已有的图像和痣生物银行协议数据库中获得了17例多发性非典型痣和黑色素瘤病史患者的一系列后截骨照片。去识别图像用DermaViz软件处理和分析,结果由黑色素瘤项目临床医生小组验证。结果:DermaViz软件对小至2mm的皮肤病变的检测灵敏度很高,但受档案照片质量的限制。在大多数情况下,该软件准确地记录了特定的痣,在少数主要位于图像边缘的病变中存在视力错误。在17名患者的初步研究中,序列图像的注册和对齐使临床医生能够在3至11名额外的患者中识别新的和扩大的痣,而不是未注册的图像。用DermaViz量化与医师对90%评估病变的新痣和扩大痣的评估相关。结论:软件的设计、应用和验证显著提高了痣变化的检测,并使这些变化能够量化。它帮助临床医生识别原始未注册图像中遗漏的许多变化。我们计划在未来的照片中加入一个扩展的尺子和色彩平衡带,以改进对边界,颜色和尺寸变化的分析。Dermaviz将用于计划中的萝卜硫素预防黑色素瘤(EA6201)的II期试验。引文格式:William F.

Introduction: Dietary isoflavones are mainly from soy-based foods and are widely consumed in Asian countries. Isoflavone has a similar chemical structure to estrogen and has been suggested to decrease the risk of breast cancer by acting as an estrogen antagonist. Lung cancer development was also suggested to be affected by estrogen signaling. We aim to explore isoflavone intake and lung cancer risk using the prospective PLCO trial. Methods: Data regarding dietary intake using the food frequency questionnaire, demographic and reproductive information and lung cancer diagnosis were extracted. The associations between lung cancer risk and isoflavone intake (in quartiles) overall and stratified by gender and smoking status were calculated using the Cox proportional hazard models adjusting for potential confounders. SAS 9.4 were used to perform all statistical analyses. Results: During the 1,215,948 person-year follow-up, a total of 1,706 lung cancer cases were diagnosed. Overall (Table), the highest quartile of isoflavone intake was associated with 26% reduced risk of lung cancer compared to the lowest quartile. When the analysis was stratified by gender and further by smoking status (never vs ever), the decreased risk was only observed among male ever smokers (Q4 vs Q1: HR=0.78, 95%CI: 0.64-0.96) but not their female counterparts (Q4 vs Q1: HR=0.85, 95%CI: 0.68-1.08). Discussion: This is the first prospective cohort study investigating isoflavone intake and lung cancer risk and we found a protective effect of isoflavone intake against lung cancer risk particularly among male ever smokers, despite an overall lower isoflavone intake among the US populations compared to the Asian populations. Future studies are needed to replicate these results in independent cohorts and shed a light on the potential mechanism of the protective effect of isoflavones on lung carcinogenesis and the interactions between isoflavones, smoking and endogenous estrogens.

膳食异黄酮主要来自大豆食品,在亚洲国家被广泛消费。异黄酮的化学结构与雌激素相似,被认为可以作为雌激素拮抗剂来降低患乳腺癌的风险。肺癌的发展也被认为受到雌激素信号的影响。我们的目标是通过前瞻性PLCO试验来探索异黄酮摄入与肺癌风险的关系。方法:采用食物频度问卷、人口统计和生殖信息、肺癌诊断等方法,提取饮食摄入数据。肺癌风险与异黄酮摄入量之间的关联(以四分位数为单位)总体和按性别和吸烟状况分层,使用Cox比例风险模型对潜在混杂因素进行调整。采用SAS 9.4进行统计分析。结果:在1215948人年的随访中,共诊断出1706例肺癌病例。总的来说(表),与最低的四分位数相比,异黄酮摄入量最高的四分位数与肺癌风险降低26%相关。当分析按性别分层并进一步按吸烟状况(从不吸烟vs曾经吸烟)进行分层时,风险降低仅在曾经吸烟的男性中观察到(Q4 vs Q1: HR=0.78, 95%CI: 0.64-0.96),而在女性中没有观察到(Q4 vs Q1: HR=0.85, 95%CI: 0.68-1.08)。讨论:这是第一个调查异黄酮摄入量和肺癌风险的前瞻性队列研究,我们发现异黄酮摄入量对肺癌风险的保护作用,特别是在男性吸烟者中,尽管与亚洲人群相比,美国人群的总体异黄酮摄入量较低。未来的研究需要在独立的队列中重复这些结果,并阐明异黄酮对肺癌发生的保护作用的潜在机制,以及异黄酮、吸烟和内源性雌激素之间的相互作用。引文格式:王倩,孟茹,Paolo Boffetta。膳食异黄酮摄入与肺癌风险:使用前列腺、肺、结直肠和卵巢(PLCO)试验数据的分析[摘要]。见:美国癌症研究协会2021年年会论文集;2021年4月10日至15日和5月17日至21日。费城(PA): AACR;癌症杂志,2021;81(13 -增刊):2585。

Accurate estimation of mammographic breast density could aid in augmenting breast cancer risk assessment for women undergoing breast screening with full-field digital mammography (FFDM). Breast density can be estimated from FFDM and is most commonly assessed in the clinic by visual grading into one of the four categories defined by the American College of Radiology BI-RADS. However, BI-RADS density assessment is highly subjective and does not provide a quantitative, continuous measure of percent density (PD), which would allow for more refined risk stratification and assessment of density changes. Here, we introduce Deep-LIBRA, an artificial intelligence (AI) tool for fully-automated assessment of breast PD from FFDM images. Two key modules form the core of Deep-LIBRA: 1) an implementation of a modified U-Net architecture for breast segmentation and 2) a radiomic machine learning module that performs PD estimation within the segmented breast region. To develop and validate Deep-LIBRA, raw (i.e., "For Processing") FFDM images (Selenia Dimensions, Hologic Inc.) acquired at two breast cancer screening practices were retrospectively analyzed. For the breast segmentation module, we used a total of 12,100 FFDM studies from 2,200 individual women and a 90%-10% split-sample training-validation approach, using the Dice coefficient to evaluate the accuracy of Deep-LIBRA versus ground-truth manual breast segmentation. For the PD estimation module we used a total of 3,304 FFDM images from 1,652 individual women; manual PD scores obtained with the widely used Cumulus software were used as the "gold standard" in a three-fold cross-validation setting to assess the accuracy of Deep-LIBRA in PD estimation. PD estimates from Deep-LIBRA were also compared with breast density estimates from the commercially available Volpara software. Breast segmentation had a Dice coefficient of 95.31% when compared to ground-truth manual breast segmentation in the validation set. Deep-LIBRA average differences from ground-truth PD scores in the three cross-validation folds were 4.91%, 4.65%, and 4.22%, while Volpara had corresponding average differences of 6.20%, 6.01%, and 5.94%. Deep-LIBRA PD scores were also significantly different from Volpara PD (t-test p-value Citation Format: Omid Haji Maghsoudi, Scott Christopher, Aimilia Gastounioti, Lauren Pantalone, Fang-Fang Wu, Eric A.

乳房x线摄影乳房密度的准确估计有助于增强接受全场数字乳房x线摄影(FFDM)乳房筛查的妇女的乳腺癌风险评估。乳腺密度可以从FFDM中估计出来,在临床上最常用的评估方法是根据美国放射学会BI-RADS定义的四种视觉分级之一进行评估。然而,BI-RADS密度评估是高度主观的,不能提供定量的、连续的百分比密度(PD)测量,这将允许更精确的风险分层和密度变化评估。在这里,我们介绍Deep-LIBRA,一种人工智能(AI)工具,用于从FFDM图像中全自动评估乳房PD。Deep-LIBRA的核心是两个关键模块:1)用于乳房分割的改进U-Net架构的实现;2)在分割的乳房区域内执行PD估计的放射学机器学习模块。为了开发和验证Deep-LIBRA,回顾性分析了两次乳腺癌筛查中获得的原始(即“用于处理”)FFDM图像(Selenia Dimensions, Hologic Inc.)。对于乳房分割模块,我们使用了来自2,200名女性个体的12,100个FFDM研究和90%-10%的分裂样本训练验证方法,使用Dice系数来评估Deep-LIBRA与ground-truth手动乳房分割的准确性。对于PD估计模块,我们总共使用了来自1,652名女性的3,304张FFDM图像;使用广泛使用的Cumulus软件获得的手动PD评分作为“金标准”,在三重交叉验证设置中评估Deep-LIBRA在PD估计中的准确性。还比较了来自Deep-LIBRA的PD估计值和来自市售Volpara软件的乳腺密度估计值。在验证集中,与人工乳房分割相比,乳房分割的Dice系数为95.31%。在三个交叉验证折叠中,Deep-LIBRA与真实PD评分的平均差异分别为4.91%、4.65%和4.22%,而Volpara与真实PD评分的平均差异分别为6.20%、6.01%和5.94%。Deep-LIBRA PD得分也与Volpara PD有显著差异(t检验p值引文格式:Omid Haji Maghsoudi, Scott Christopher, Aimilia Gastounioti, Lauren Pantalone, Fang-Fang Wu, Eric A.

Breast density can be estimated from FFDM and is most commonly assessed in the clinic by visual grading into one of the four categories defined by the American College of Radiology BI-RADS. However, BI-RADS density assessment is highly subjective and does not provide a quantitative, continuous measure of percent density (PD), which would allow for more refined risk stratification and assessment of density changes. Here, we introduce Deep-LIBRA, an artificial intelligence (AI) tool for fully-automated assessment of breast PD from FFDM images. Two key modules form the core of Deep-LIBRA: 1) an implementation of a modified U-Net architecture for breast segmentation and 2) a radiomic machine learning module that performs PD estimation within the segmented breast region.
