[PMID: 37352082 PMCID: PMC10289483 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000034069] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2022] [Revised: 05/03/2023] [Accepted: 06/01/2023] [Indexed: 06/25/2023] Open
Abstract
To study the difference of clinical characteristics and prognostic factors from elderly patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC), the statistical analysis was carried out based on the surveillance, epidemiology, and end results database. The relevant clinical information of 19,472 RCC patients from 2010 to 2015 were collected, and the differences of clinicopathological characteristics and survival rate was analyzed by log-rank method and Chi square test, respectively. Multivariate Cox regression model was used to explore the independent risk factors affecting the long-term survival of RCC patients. Results showed that the proportion of elderly RCC patients in the 60-64-year group in 2010 was 15.20%, but the value elevated to 18.51% in 2015, and the Chi-square test revealed the significant correlation between elderly RCC patients with gender, race, American Joint Committee on cancer stage, T stage, N stage, and M stage. The difference of survival time between the 60-69 year, 70-79 year, 80-84 year, and 85+ year group was significant, and Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a negative effects of age on survival rate of RCC patients, indicating a worsening trend with increasing age. Cox proportional hazards model analysis further confirmed that age was the important independent prognostic factor. Our study reveals that the onset age of RCC in elderly population is gradually decreasing, and the malignant degree of elderly RCC patients is increasing with age. The female elderly population could be more susceptible to RCC than male elderly population, and 85+ year population could also be cancer susceptible with a higher lymph node metastasis rate, later tumor stage, and poor prognosis, suggesting that these elderly populations should pay more attention to the RCC screening.

Abstract
BackgroundDespite progression in its treatment, the clinical outcome of patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) remains not ideal. Anoikis is a unique form of programmed apoptosis, owing to insufficient cell-matrix interactions. Anoikis plays a crucial role in tumor migration and invasion, and tumor cells could protect themselves through the capacity of anoikis resistance.MethodsAnoikis-related genes (ARGs) were obtained from Genecards and Harmonizome portals. The ARGs related to ccRCC prognosis were identified through univariate Cox regression analysis, then we utilized these ARGs to construct a novel prognostic model for ccRCC patients. Moreover, we explored the expression profile of ARGs in ccRCC using the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) database. We also conducted Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) to probe ARGs expression of the risk score. Finally, we performed correlation analysis between ARGs and tumor immune microenvironment.ResultsWe identified 17 ARGs associated with ccRCC survival, from which 7 genes were chosen to construct a prognostic model. The prognostic model was verified as an independent prognostic indicator. The expression of most ARGs was higher in ccRCC samples. These ARGs were closely correlated with immune cell infiltration and immune checkpoint members, and had independent prognostic value respectively. Functional enrichment analysis demonstrated that these ARGs were significantly associated with multiple types of malignances.ConclusionThe prognostic signature was identified to be highly efficient in predicting ccRCC prognosis, and these ARGs were closely related to tumor microenvironment.

Abstract
Background: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common type of renal cell carcinoma, accounting for approximately 70% of all RCC cases. Cuproptosis, a novel mechanism of cell death, may be a potential target for intervention in tumor development. Methods: Cuproptosis-related prognostic lncRNAs were identified by co-expression analysis and univariable Cox regression. Five lncRNA profiles were obtained by LASSO regression analysis, and a model with high accuracy was constructed to assess the prognosis of ccRCC patients based on these cuproptosis-related lncRNAs. Survival analysis and time-dependent ROC curves were performed for the α and β groups, and the results confirmed the high accuracy of the model in predicting the prognosis of ccRCC patients. Immunoassay, principal component analysis (PCA), and drug sensitivity analysis were also performed for different risk categories. Finally, we classified ccRCC patients into two different subtypes by consistent class clustering, and performed immune checkpoint activation, tumor microenvironment analysis, PCA, and drug sensitivity analysis for different subtypes. Results: We developed a prognostic model using five cuproptosis-associated lncRNAs, which was found to be highly accurate in predicting ccRCC patients’ prognosis. Immunotherapy may be more beneficial to the hyper-risk category and the C2 subtype. Conclusion: The results of this study confirm that five cuproptosis-associated lncRNAs can be used as potential prognostic markers for ccRCC.

Abstract
The rapidly increasing pool of older patients being diagnosed with and surviving their cancer is creating many challenges. Regarding localized renal cell carcinoma, surgery is considered as gold standard treatment options even in older men, whereas active surveillance and ablation therapy are alternative options for a proportion of these patients. With regard to advanced disease, anti-vascular endothelial growth factor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (VEGFR-TKI) and immune check point inhibitor are standard treatment modalities, although treatment choice from multiple regimens and prevention of adverse events need to be considered. Better assessment techniques, such as comprehensive geriatric assessment to meet the unique needs of older patients, are a central focus in the delivery of high-quality geriatric oncology care. Through this process, shared decision-making should be adopted in clinical care to achieve optimal goals of care that reflect patient and caregiver hopes, needs and preferences. It is necessary to continue investigating oncological outcomes and complications associated with treatment in this population to ensure appropriate cancer care. In this narrative review, we completed a literature review of the various treatments for renal cell carcinoma in older patients that aimed to identify the current evidence related to the full range of the treatments including active surveillance, surgery, ablation therapy and systemic therapy. Prospectively designed studies and studies regarding geriatric assessment were preferentially added as references. Our goals were to summarize the real-world evidence and provide a decision framework that guides better cancer practices for older patients with renal cell carcinoma.

Abstract
Aim: To assess sorafenib survival outcomes in renal cell carcinoma patients using standard International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Data Consortium (IMDC) risk criteria. Patients & methods: The authors restratified a real-world cohort of 3255 advanced renal cell carcinoma patients, obtained from Japanese sorafenib postmarketing surveillance, to assess survival outcomes using IMDC criteria; intermediate risk was subdivided into Int-1 and Int-2 (one and two risk factors, respectively). Results: Overall, 2225 (68%) IMDC-evaluable patients were reclassified as favorable (17%), intermediate (62%) and poor (21%) risk, with median progression-free survival of 10.4, 8.1 and 3.4 months, respectively. Int-1 (36%) and Int-2 (26%) subgroups had median progression-free survival of 10.1 and 6.0 months, respectively. Sorafenib had acceptable safety/tolerability. Conclusion: Sorafenib effectiveness was promising for IMDC intermediate risk, particularly Int-1, warranting further investigation.

Abstract
Uveal melanoma is the second most common melanoma and the most common intraocular malignant tumour of the eye. Among various treatments currently studied, Sorafenib was also proposed as a promising drug, often administered with other compounds in order to avoid resistance mechanisms. Despite its promising cellular activities, the use of Sorafenib by oral administration is limited by its severe side effects and the difficulty to reach the target. The encapsulation into drug delivery systems represents an interesting strategy to overcome these limits. In this study, different lipid nanoparticulate formulations were prepared and compared in order to select the most suitable for the encapsulation of Sorafenib. In particular, two solid lipids (Softisan or Suppocire) at different concentrations were used to produce solid lipid nanoparticles, demonstrating that higher amounts were able to achieve smaller particle sizes, higher homogeneity, and longer physical stability. The selected formulations, which demonstrated to be biocompatible on Statens Seruminstitut Rabbit Cornea cells, were modified to improve their mucoadhesion, evaluating the effect of two monovalent cationic lipids with two lipophilic chains. Sorafenib encapsulation allowed obtaining a sustained and prolonged drug release, thus confirming the potential use of the developed strategy to topically administer Sorafenib in the treatment of uveal melanoma.

Abstract
Background Because lenvatinib is well known to induce proteinuria by blocking the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway, renal function is a concern with long-term administration of lenvatinib. The long-term effects of lenvatinib on renal function in patients with advanced differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) were analyzed. Method This study involved 40 DTC patients who continued lenvatinib therapy for ≥6 months. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated as an indicator of renal function. The temporal course of eGFR, effects of baseline eGFR on eGFR changes, and factors affecting renal impairment were investigated. Results The overall cohort showed sustainable decreases in eGFR, with decreased values of 11.4, 18.3, and 21.0 mL/min/1.73 m2 at 24, 36, and 48 months after starting treatment, respectively. No differences in eGFR decrease every 6 months were seen for three groups classified by baseline eGFR ≥90 mL/min/1.73 m2 (n = 6), < 90 but ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m2 (n = 26), or < 60 but ≥45 mL/min/1.73 m2 (n = 8). Grade 3 proteinuria was associated with declines in eGFR (p = 0.0283). Long observation period was also associated with decreases in eGFR (p = 0.0115), indicating that eGFR may decrease in a time-dependent manner. Conclusion Lenvatinib can induce declines in eGFR, particularly with treatment duration > 2 years, regardless of baseline eGFR. Proteinuria is a risk factor for declines in eGFR. Patients who start lenvatinib with better renal function show a renal reserve capacity, prolonging clinical outcomes. Decision-making protocols must balance the benefits of lenvatinib continuation with acceptable risks of harm.

Abstract
Background The immune microenvironment is a critical regulator of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) progression. However, the underlying mechanisms the regulatory role of immune-related long non-coding RNAs (irlncRNAs) in the ccRCC tumor microenvironment (TME) are still obscure. Herein, we investigated prognostics role of irlncRNAs for ccRCC. Methods The raw data of patients with ccRCC were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, and immune-related genes were obtained from the ImmPort database. First, we investigated the correlation between the immune-related genes and irlncRNAs. Then, we identified the differentially expressed irlncRNA pairs (ILRPs) between normal and cancer tissue samples, and prognostic model was constructed with the differentially expressed ILRPs. We further explored whether the signature risk scores of ILRPs had a considerable impact on immune cell infiltration. Finally, we performed a drug sensitivity analysis based on risk score. Results There were 13 upregulated and 40 downregulated irlncRNAs between the ccRCC and normal tissue samples. We further selected the irlncRNAs that significantly affect the prognosis of patients with ccRCC via univariate Cox, lasso regression, and multivariate regression analyses. Twelve ILRPs were used to construct a prognostic signature. The model showed the ILRPs model could be used to assess the prognosis of ccRCC patients. Study of the influence of risk score and clinical characteristics on the prognosis of patients with ccRCC showed risk score to be an independent factor affecting the outcome of ccRCC. We further performed the difference analysis of immune cell abundance between ccRCC and normal tissue samples. The results showed that patients with higher abundance of M0 macrophages, plasma cells, follicular helper T cells, and regulatory T cells (Tregs) had a poor outcome. Finally, we performed a drug sensitivity analysis based on risk score. The results showed that high-risk score patients are sensitive to orafenib, sunitinib, temsirolimus, cisplatin, and gemcitabine. Conclusions Our study has developed a novel and reasonable ILPRs model for prognostic prediction, which does not require transcriptional levels to be detected.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Proteinuria induced by lenvatinib is a class effect that occurs secondary to VEGFR suppression. Withholding of lenvatinib is required in cases with severe proteinuria. Urine protein-creatinine ratio (UPCR, g/gCre) has recently attracted attention as an alternative to 24-h urine collection for assessing proteinuria. The aim of this study was to examine the correlation between the results of proteinuria assessed by the dipstick test and UPCR, and to investigate the influence of proteinuria grading with UPCR on lenvatinib dose adjustment compared to that with only the dipstick test. METHOD Three hundred and ten urine samples from 63 patients with advanced thyroid cancer under treatment with lenvatinib, which were tested by both the dipstick test and UPCR were analyzed. Lenvatinib was withheld when there was evidence of CTCAE grade 3 proteinuria, and restarted when it resolved. The frequency of proteinuria, correlation between the results of the dipstick test and UPCR test, and the effect of dose withholding in cases with results of 3 + in the dipstick test were calculated. RESULTS Proteinuria was seen in 56 (88.9%) patients. Of the 154 dipstick 3 + samples, only 56 (36.4%) were judged as more than 3.5 g/gCre by UPCR (grade 3 proteinuria), although none of the 1 + and only 3.7% of 2 + samples were judged as grade 3 proteinuria. We were able to prevent unnecessary lenvatinib interruption due to proteinuria in 63.6% of dipstick 3 + samples by assessment of UPCR. CONCLUSIONS Urinalysis by combination of the dipstick test and UPCR assessment might be a better strategy for preventing unnecessary interruption of lenvatinib.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess whether the clinical outcome of advanced/metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) treated with sorafenib, in real-world conditions, differs in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). METHODS mRCC patients (n = 2256 before matching) were matched by propensity score into CVD (n = 560) and non-CVD groups (n = 560), followed by safety and effectiveness analyzes. RESULTS After matching, patients' features used for matching were balanced between the CVD and non-CVD groups, except for age (p = 0.0049). Renal comorbidity occurred more frequently in the CVD group. Exposure to sorafenib and objective response rate (25.4% [CVD], 28.5% [non-CVD]) were comparable in both groups. Median progression-free survival (PFS; 7.1 months, 95% CI: 6.4-8.6 [CVD]; 6.7 months, 6.3-8.3 [non-CVD]), and hazard ratios for PFS (0.954, 0.821-1.108) and overall survival (0.889, 0.683-1.156), were similar in the matched population. The incidences of adverse drug reactions (ADR, ≥10%) were generally similar between groups, although hypertension (42.1% vs 34.5%), diarrhea (26.3% vs 19.6%), decreased appetite (11.3% vs 7.5%), and non-serious and serious renal failure/dysfunction (3.6% vs 1.4% and 1.8% vs 0.4%), occurred more frequently in the CVD group. CONCLUSION This analyzes suggests that sorafenib has clinical benefit for mRCC patients regardless of baseline CVD. Serious ADRs increased for renal dysfunction. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION www.clinicaltrials.gov identifier is NCT01411423.

Successful treatment with sorafenib for sunitinib-refractory metastatic papillary renal cell carcinoma: Potential impact of Raf overexpression on predicting the efficacy of sorafenib. IJU Case Rep 2018; 2:43-46. [PMID: 32743370 PMCID: PMC7292102 DOI: 10.1002/iju5.12035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2018] [Accepted: 11/20/2018] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction The prognosis of type 2 papillary renal cell carcinoma is often poor. We herein report a case of papillary renal cell carcinoma with liver metastasis that was successfully treated with sorafenib as a second‐line therapy. Case presentation An 82‐year‐old man who had undergone radical nephrectomy 5 years previously experienced biopsy‐proven liver metastasis. He received sunitinib as a first‐line treatment; the dose was initially 12.5 mg/day and was escalated to 25 mg/day, but it was discontinued due to several adverse events. We then switched to sorafenib as a second‐line treatment, which resulted in a partial response (51% reduction in tumor size); the patient showed no recurrence 5 months after the initiation of sorafenib treatment. An immunohistochemical analysis revealed the overexpression of Raf in both the primary and metastatic tumors. Conclusion As sorafenib blocks Raf signaling, the expression of Raf may serve as a useful predictor of the efficacy of sorafenib.
