Prognostic and Predictive Value of a Modified Diagnostic Biopsy-Adapted Immunoscore in Patients with Rectal Cancer After Neoadjuvant Treatment: A Translational Study From the STELLAR Trial.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the prognostic significance of the modified diagnostic biopsy-adapted immunoscore (mISb) in determining the outcomes for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) in a neoadjuvant setting.
Methods and materials: We included 181 patients with LARC from a single subcenter of a prospective study comparing total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) based on short-course radiation therapy with long-term chemoradiation therapy (CRT). Tumor biopsies at baseline were stained for CD8+ and CD3+ T-cell densities. The mISb was developed using mean percentile of CD8+ T-cell density and CD8/CD3 ratio. Patients were classified into low (0%-25%), intermediate (>25%-70%), and high (>70%-100%) in both groups. The relativity among different lymphocytes and their correlation with survival were illustrated. Survival analyses and Cox regression models were used to compare the prognostic values of mISb and diagnostic biopsy immunoscore for survival outcomes and to assess the role of mISb in TNT and CRT subgroups, respectively.
Results: In this study, 151 (83.4%) patients received surgery, and 30 (16.6%) followed a watch and wait strategy. A strong correlation was found between CD8+ and CD3+ T-cell densities (R = 0.86; P < .001), whereas a weak correlation was witnessed between CD8+ and CD8/CD3 ratio (R = 0.45). The 3-year disease-free survival for the entire cohort was 69.9%, with 57.2%, 68.6%, and 85.5% for the low, intermediate, and high mISb groups, respectively (P = .01), whereas diagnostic biopsy immunoscore failed to distinguish survival outcomes. Multivariate analysis revealed mISb to be an independent prognostic factor for disease-free survival in surgically treated patients (P = .01). Specifically, patients with high mISb score showed longer progression-free survival than other subgroups in the TNT cohort (P = .049), but no significant difference was found in the CRT population.
Conclusions: In this study, mISb demonstrated significant prognostic value in patients with LARC receiving preoperative therapies, especially in the TNT subgroup. These findings may help tailor the intensity of neoadjuvant therapy for patients.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Radiation Oncology • Biology • Physics (IJROBP), known in the field as the Red Journal, publishes original laboratory and clinical investigations related to radiation oncology, radiation biology, medical physics, and both education and health policy as it relates to the field.
This journal has a particular interest in original contributions of the following types: prospective clinical trials, outcomes research, and large database interrogation. In addition, it seeks reports of high-impact innovations in single or combined modality treatment, tumor sensitization, normal tissue protection (including both precision avoidance and pharmacologic means), brachytherapy, particle irradiation, and cancer imaging. Technical advances related to dosimetry and conformal radiation treatment planning are of interest, as are basic science studies investigating tumor physiology and the molecular biology underlying cancer and normal tissue radiation response.
