Clinical outcomes and prognostic factors of concurrent chemoradiotherapy for anal squamous cell carcinoma in Japan. Int J Clin Oncol 2024; 29:1161-1172. [PMID: 38819609 DOI: 10.1007/s10147-024-02540-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2024] [Accepted: 04/20/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) is the standard treatment for locoregional anal squamous cell carcinoma (ASCC) in western countries. However, there have been few reports on the clinical outcomes of CCRT in Japan. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of CCRT, prognostic factors, and the clinical impact of programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression of ASCC in Japan. METHODS Patients with locoregional ASCC were enrolled between 2007 and 2017. All patients received CCRT consisting of ≥ 45 Gy of radiation, 5-fluorouracil, and mitomycin C. Disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS), and adverse events (AEs) were estimated. Expression of p16 and PD-L1 were assessed by immunohistochemical staining (IHC). RESULTS This study included 36 patients, of whom 30 (83.3%) were female. Among the participants, 32 (88.9%) achieved complete clinical remission, while six (16.7%) experienced recurrence. The five-year DFS and five-year OS were 72.2% and 84.7%, respectively. Grades ≥ 3 serious AEs included neutropenia in 10 (27.7%) and perianal dermatitis in eight (22.2%). In a univariate analysis, male sex, lymph node metastasis, and large tumor size were significantly associated with worse outcome. In a multivariate analysis, tumor size was an independent factor associated with short DFS. Of the 30 patients whose biopsy specimens were available for IHC, 29 (96.7%) were positive for p16, and 13 (43.3%) were positive for PD-L1. However, PD-L1 expression did not show any clinical impact. CONCLUSIONS The comparative etiology, clinical outcomes, and prognostic factors of CCRT observed in Japanese patients with locoregional ASCC were consistent with western data.

Targeted variant prevalence of FBXW7 gene mutation in colorectal carcinoma propagation. The first systematic review and meta-analysis. Heliyon 2024; 10:e31471. [PMID: 38845996 PMCID: PMC11154211 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e31471] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2023] [Revised: 05/15/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024] Open
Abstract
FBXW7 is a tumour suppressor gene that functions as E3-ubiquitin-ligase, targeting numerous oncoproteins for degradation, i.e., Cyclin-E, c-Myc, and Notch. FBXW7 performs a pivotal role in regulating cell cycle progression. FBXW7 mutation is frequently implicated in various cancers. Methodology A systematic review and meta-analysis done on several studies using "Preferred Reporting Items for Systemmatic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA)" criteria and registered with PROSPERO (registration-number-CRD42023388845). The preliminary search comprises 1182 articles; however, 58 studies were subsequently chosen after eliminating non-eligible studies. To explore the prevalence of FBXW7 mutation among colorectal cancer patients, data were analysed using "OpenMeta Analyst and comprehensive meta-analysis-3.0 (CMA-3.0)" software. Results This meta-analysis involves 13,974 respondents; most were males 7825/13,974, (56.0 %). Overall prevalence of FBXW7 mutations was 10.3 %, (95%CI: 8.6-12.4), I2 = 90.5 %, (P < 0.001). The occurrence of FBXW7 mutations was highest in Russia [19.0 %, (95%CI: 9.8-33.7)] and Taiwan [18.8 %, (95%CI: 8.7-35.9)], P-values< 0.05 while the least prevalence was reported in Netherland (4 %) and Italy (5 %), both P-values< 0.001. Overall prevalence of FBXW7 abberation was greatest amongst male gender: "53.9 %, (95%CI: 8.3-62.0 %)", Tumour location (colon): 59.8 %, (95%CI: 53.9-65), tumour site (left): 61.6 %, (95%CI: 53.8-68.9), Tumour-grade (Moderate): 65.9 %, (95%CI: 54.9-75.4 %), and Tumour late-stage: 67.9 %, (95%CI: 49.7-84.3 %), all P-values< 0.001. When stratified according to study-period, an increasing trend was noted from 2018 till present with the highest mutation rate recorded in 2022 (15.3 %). Conclusion Overall prevalence of FBXW7 mutations was 10.3 % with male gender, left side, and late-stage being most mutated, and these outcomes conform with severally published articles on FBXW7 mutation.

Abstract
Anal squamous cell carcinoma (ASCC) is a rare gastrointestinal malignancy associated with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) and is currently one of the fastest-growing causes of cancer incidence and mortality in developed countries. Although next-generation sequencing technologies (NGS) have revolutionized cancer and immuno-genomic research in various tumor types, a limited amount of clinical research has been developed to investigate the expression and the functional characterization of genomic data in ASCC. Herein, we comprehensively assess recent advancements in "omics" research, including a systematic analysis of genome-based studies, aiming to identify the most relevant ASCC cancer driver gene expressions and their associated signaling pathways. We also highlight the most significant biomarkers associated with anal cancer progression, gene expression of potential diagnostic biomarkers, expression of therapeutic drug targets, and emerging treatment opportunities. This review stresses the urgent need for developing target-specific therapies in ASCC. By illuminating the molecular characteristics and drug-target expression in ASCC, this study aims to provide insights for the development of precision medicine in anal cancer.

Pathogenic alterations in PIK3CA and KMT2C are frequent and independent prognostic factors in anal squamous cell carcinoma treated with salvage abdominoperineal resection. Int J Cancer 2024; 154:504-515.

Abstract
The management of anal squamous cell carcinoma (ASCC) has yet to experience the transformative impact of precision medicine. Conducting genomic analyses may uncover novel prognostic biomarkers and offer potential directions for the development of targeted therapies. To that end, we assessed the prognostic and theragnostic implications of pathogenic variants identified in 571 cancer-related genes from surgical samples collected from a homogeneous, multicentric French cohort of 158 ASCC patients who underwent abdominoperineal resection treatment. Alterations in PI3K/AKT/mTOR, chromatin remodeling, and Notch pathways were frequent in HPV-positive tumors, while HPV-negative tumors often harbored variants in cell cycle regulation and genome integrity maintenance genes (e.g., frequent TP53 and TERT promoter mutations). In patients with HPV-positive tumors, KMT2C and PIK3CA exon 9/20 pathogenic variants were associated with worse overall survival in multivariate analysis (Hazard ratio (HR)KMT2C = 2.54, 95%CI = [1.25,5.17], P value = .010; HRPIK3CA = 2.43, 95%CI = [1.3,4.56], P value = .006). Alterations with theragnostic value in another cancer type was detected in 43% of patients. These results suggest that PIK3CA and KMT2C pathogenic variants are independent prognostic factors in patients with ASCC with HPV-positive tumors treated by abdominoperineal resection. And, importantly, the high prevalence of alterations bearing potential theragnostic value strongly supports the use of genomic profiling to allow patient enrollment in precision medicine clinical trials.

Characteristics of anal canal squamous cell carcinoma as an HPV-associated cancer in Japan. Int J Clin Oncol 2023; 28:990-998.

Abstract
The definition of the anal canal was revised in the TNM classification (8th edition). The Japanese Society for Cancer of the Colon and Rectum (JSCCR) conducted a retrospective multi-institutional study to clarify the characteristics of anal canal cancer (ACC) in Japan. The diagnoses of 1781 patients treated for ACC were squamous cell carcimoma (SCC; n = 428; 24.0%), adenosquamous cell carcinoma (n = 7; 0.4%), and adenocarcinoma (n = 1260; 70.7%). Anal carcinoma is associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and is risk factor for anal SCC. Among 40 cases analyzed at Takano Hospital and 47 cases analyzed at National Cancer Center Hospital, 34 cases (85.0%) and 40 cases (85.1%), respectively were infected with HPV; HPV-16 was the most common genotype (79.4% and 82.5%). In the JSCCR retrospective multi-institutional study, the prognosis analysis by stage was performed for anal SCC cases (202 cases treated by CRT and 91 cases treated by surgery). The 5-year overall survival (OS) rates by stage did not differ between the two treatment groups to a statistically significant extent. Regarding the results of cancer treatment of patients who underwent HPV infection tests, although the 5-year OS rates by stage did not differ to a statistically significant extent due to the small number of cases, HPV-positive patients had better survival. While an HPV vaccine for anal canal SCC has already been approved internationally, HPV vaccination has already been implemented in Japan as a national immunization program for young women but not for men at present. An HPV vaccination for men is urgently needed.
