Background. Radical gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy is recognized as the standard treatment for resectable advanced gastric cancer. Preoperative fibrinogen and albumin measurements may bring clinical benefits in terms of providing advanced notice of a poor prognosis or recurrence in patients undergoing radical resection. The aim of this study was to identify markers that are predictive of a poor prognosis prior to surgery. Methods. Eight hundred forty-two consecutive patients who underwent curative radical gastrectomy at our hospital between 2008 and 2012 were retrospectively reviewed. Based on plasma fibrinogen and serum albumin levels, preoperative fibrinogen and albumin scores (Fib-Alb scores) were investigated, and the prognostic significance was determined. Results. The patients were classified according to a Fib-Alb score of 0 (n=376), 1 (n=327), or 2 (n=139). When the correlation between the response rate and the change in the Fib-Alb score was investigated, the response rate was significantly lower in patients with an increased Fib-Alb score than in the other patients. In the survival analysis, patients in the Fib-Alb high-score group exhibited significantly worse recurrence-free survival (RFS) (P=0.030) than patients in the other groups. A multivariate analysis using clinical stage and the change in the Fib-Alb score as covariates revealed that a change in the Fib-Alb score (Fib-Alb score 1, HR: 1.31, 95% CI: 1.03-1.66, P=0.028; Fib-Alb score 2, HR: 1.61, 95% CI: 1.20-2.17, P=0.001) was a significant independent predictive factor for RFS. Conclusions. The prognosis of patients with high fibrinogen and low albumin levels is poor. The Fib-Alb score was shown to be an independent prognostic factor for postoperative recurrence in gastric cancer patients who underwent radical gastrectomy.

7080 Background: Circulating tumor cell (CTC) is a surrogate of distant metastasis, and our preliminary study suggested that CTC detected by an EpCAM-based immuno-magnetic separation system (“CellSearch”) was a useful clinical marker in the diagnosis of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) (Tanaka F. et al ASCO 2008). Methods: Patients who presented at our institute to receive pleural biopsy with suspicion of MPM were prospectively enrolled. CTCs in 7.5mL of peripheral blood were quantitatively evaluated with the CellSearch system. Results: Among 136 eligible patients, 104 were finally diagnosed with MPM, and 32 were with non-malignant diseases (NM). CTC was positive (CTC≥1) in 32.7% (37/104) of MPM pts, and in 9.4% (3/32) of NM pts (p=0.011). CTC-count was significantly higher in MPM (range, 0-9) than in NM (range, 0-1; p=0.007). According to a ROC curve analysis, the CTC-test provided a significant diagnostic performance in discrimination between MPM and NM (AUC= 0.623; P=0.036). Among MPM pts, CTC-positivity and CTC-count were significantly increased with tumor progression (p=0.026 and p=0.008, respectively). For all MPM pts, there was no significant difference in overall survival between CTC-positive and negative pts. However, in a planned subset analysis, CTC was a significant factor to predict poor prognosis (median survival time, 8.0 months for CTC-positive pts, and 20.3 months for negative pts; p=0.012) in pts with epithelioid-type MPM in which CTC was exclusively positive; a multivariate analysis confirmed that CTC, along with PS, was an independent prognostic factor (HR=2.38; P=0.006). Conclusions: CTC was a significant diagnostic marker in discrimination between MPM and NM. CTC-positivity was a significant and independent prognostic factor to predict a poor prognosis of epithelioid MPM. [Table: see text]

Purpose The transcription factor forkhead box P3 (FOXP3) up- or downregulates a large number of genes and has been recently reported to be expressed in tumor cells. We investigated the prognostic importance of FOXP3 expression in patients with breast cancer. Patients and Methods The expression patterns of FOXP3 were characterized by immunohistochemistry in primary breast carcinoma specimens from patients of the Milan 3 and 1 trials. Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazards regression modeling were used to assess the overall survival, distant metastasis-free survival, and local relapse cumulative incidence, according to the presence or absence of FOXP3 expression. Results FOXP3 expression in tumors was associated with worse overall survival probability and the risk increased with increasing FOXP3 immunostaining intensity. FOXP3 was also a strong prognostic factor for distant metastases-free survival but not for local recurrence risk. In multivariate analysis FOXP3 resulted an independent prognostic factor and the hazard ratio of FOXP3 expression and of lymph node positivity were similar. In the Milan 3 trial, the probability of 10-year survival in node-negative subgroup was 100% for FOXP3-negative and 82% for FOXP3-positive patients; in node-positive subgroup 82% for FOXP3-negative and 41% for FOXP3-positive patients. Even in the Milan 1 trial the lack of FOXP3 expression in node-positive subgroup was related to a significantly better prognosis than in FOXP3-positive patients (10-year survival probability, 89% v 59%). Conclusion The data identify FOXP3 expression as a new independent prognostic factor in breast carcinoma, which might help to improve the selection of patients for appropriate therapy.
