Combination of squamous cell carcinoma antigen immunocomplex and alpha-fetoprotein in mid-and long-term prediction of hepatocellular carcinoma among cirrhotic patients

BACKGROUND The combination of alpha-fetoprotein(AFP)and squamous cell carcinoma antigen immunocomplex(SCCA-IgM)have been proposed for its use in the screening of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Current screening programs for all cirrhotic patients are controversial and a personalized screening is an unmet need in the precision medicine era.AIM To determine the role of the combination of SCCA-IgM and AFP in predicting mid-and long-term appearance of HCC.METHODS Two-hundred and three cirrhotic patients(Child A 74.9%,B 21.2%,C 3.9%)were followed-up prospectively every six months to screen HCC by ultrasound and AFP according to European Association for the Study of the Liver guidelines.The estimation cohort was recruited in Italy(30.5%;62/203)and validation cohort from Spain(69.5%;141/203).Patients underwent to evaluate SCCA-IgM by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(Hepa-IC,Xeptagen,Italy)and AFP levels at baseline.Patients were followed-up for 60 mo,being censored at the time of the appearance of HCC.RESULTS There were 10.8%and 23.1%of HCC development at two-and five-years followup.Patients with HCC showed higher levels of SCCA-IgM than those without it(425.72±568.33 AU/mL vs 195.93±188.40 AU/mL,P=0.009)during the fiveyear follow-up.In multivariate analysis,after adjusting by age,sex,aspartate transaminase and Child-Pugh,the following factors were independently associated with HCC:SCCA-IgM[Hazard ratio(HR)=1.001,95%CI:1.000-1.002;P=0.003],AFP(HR=1.028,95%CI:1.009-1.046;P=0.003)and creatinine(HR=1.56495%CI:1.151-2.124;P=0.004).The log-rank test of the combination resulted in 7.488(P=0.024)in estimation cohort and 11.061(P=0.004)in the validation cohort,and a 100%of correctly classified rate identifying a low-risk group in both cohorts in the two-year follow-up.CONCLUSION We have constructed a predictive model based on the combination of SCCA-IgM and AFP that provides a new HCC screening method,which could be followed by tailored HCC surveillance for individual patients,especially for those cirrhotic patients belonging to the subgroup identified as low-risk of HCC development.

Clinical applications of squamous cell carcinoma antigenimmunoglobulins M to monitor chronic hepatitis C

Hepatitis C virus(HCV) is the main cause of chronic liver disease and cirrhosis in Western countries. Over time, the majority of cirrhotic patients develop hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC), one of the most common fatal cancers worldwide- fourth for incidence rate. A high public health priority need is the development of biomarkers to screen for liver disease progression and for early diagnosis of HCC development, particularly in the high risk population represented by HCV-positive patients with cirrhosis. Several studies have shown that serological determination of a novel biomarker, squamous cell carcinoma antigen-immunoglobulins M(SCCA-Ig M), might be useful to identify patients with progressive liver disease. In the initial part of this review we summarize the main clinical studies that have investigated this new circulating biomarker on HCV-infected patients, providing evidence that in chronic hepatitis C SCCA-Ig M may be used to monitor progression of liver disease, and also to assess the virological response to antiviral treatment. In the last part of this review we address other, not less important, clinical applications of this biomarker in hepatology.

High expression of squamous cell carcinoma antigen in poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of the stomach: A case report

BACKGROUND Squamous cell carcinoma antigen(SCCA)is regarded as a specific indicator of epithelial malignancies and is widely used in the diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma(SCC).However,the expression of SCCA in gastric adenocarcinoma has not been studied in detail.CASE SUMMARY A 52-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for a 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm ulcer at the antrum-body junction with dull pain and fullness in the upper abdomen for 2 mo.His pre-surgery serological testing results showed 0.51 ng/mL SCCA(reference interval,<1.5 ng/mL)and 9.9 ng/mL carcinoembryonic antigen(reference range,<4.7 ng/mL).He underwent radical distal gastrectomy and Roux-en Y anastomosis and was diagnosed with poorly differentiated mucinous adenocarcinoma(Lauren classification:Diffuse)by pathological examination of the resected lesion.Immunohistochemistry showed that SCCA was highly expressed in the cytoplasm of cancer cells.After surgery,the patient received an S-1 adjuvant chemotherapy regimen for six cycles containing tegafur,gimeracil,and oteracil potassium.He showed no sign of recurrence or metastasis within 24-mo follow-up.CONCLUSION This is a frontal report of SCCA overexpression in poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of the stomach.

Identification of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) as amniotic fluid-specific markers

Objective: To determine if an amniotic fluid (AF)-specific marker is present and if its concentration changes with the presence of labor. Study Design: Twenty-six healthy women who gave birth to healthy newborns at term during the period from July 2009 to January 2010 were included in the study. Six candidate markers were assessed by commercially available ELISA kits: interleukin (IL)-6, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) antigen, insulin-like growth factor (IGFBP)-1, osteopontin (OPN), CA125, and sialyl Tn (STN). Results: The AF/maternal serum (MS) measurement based on IL-6 or SCC has proved to be superior to IGFBP-1, CA125, OPN and STN. Women with spontaneous labor at term had significantly higher IL-6 and IGFBP-1 concentrations in AF compared with those without labor. No significant differences were observed in the AF concentrations of SCC, OPN, CA125 and STN between women with labor and those not in labor. Conclusion: Our observation of IL-6 and SCC in AF may open a new area of research to assess their usefulness as biological markers of obstetrical disorders.

The expression and the clinical significance of eukaryotic translation initiation factors 4E and p53 in squamous cell carcinoma

Objective： To study the expression of eukaryotic initiation factor-4E （eIF-4E） and p53 in squamous cell carcinomas （SCC） and to explore their relationship and clinical significance. Methods： The expression of elF-4E and p53 in 32 cases of SCC was detected by immunohistochemical SABC method. Results： The positive rate of elF-4E and p53 expression was 93.8% and 56.3% in SCC, and the levels of eIF-4E and p53 were significantly higher in SCC than those in the normal skin tissue （P 〈 0.05）. Conclusion： Both elF-4E and p53 were useful markers in SCC, but the specialty and sensitivity of the eiF- 4E protein was high in SCC.

Impact of Preoperative Serum Tumor Markers in Patients with Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Background: Several previous researchers have investigated the prognostic value of serum tumor markers, especially carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). Only a limited number of studies reported the usefulness of serum tumor markers for lung squamous cell carcinoma (SQ). We aimed to examine the significance of serum tumor markers for lung SQ. Methods: Eighty-five lung SQ patients who underwent surgery and followed more than 5-year were included. The ratios of 5-year survivors to all patients in groups with several clinicopathologic factors, including tumor markers, were compared. We also compared the clinicopathologic factors between central type and peripheral type SQ. Results: The majority of patients were male gender and current/ former smokers. Age, pN status, cytokeratin-19 fragment (CYFRA 21-1), squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC), and comorbid interstitial pneumonia (IP) were associated with the ratio of 5-year survivors significantly. When patients were compared based on tumor location, high p-stage and CYFRA 21-1 were related to central type SQ. Conclusion: Both SCC and CYFRA 21-1 appeared to be useful prognostic markers for patients with lung SQ. Furthermore, CYFRA 21-1 was related to central type SQ.

Partial Trisomy 1q21-qter and Partial Monosomy 7q21-qter Due to a Derivative Chromosome 7 in Myelodysplastic Syndrome Associated with Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Case Report

Background: Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are subtypes of hematological disorders which are known to have partial bone marrow dysplasia, peripheral cytopenia, and later on an increased risk to develop acute myeloid leukemia. Chromosomal aberrations are detected in ~50% of cases of de novo MDS cases and the most common chromosomal abnormalities of this entity include complete or partial monosomy of chromosomes 5 and 7, partial deletion of 20q and 12p, trisomy 8, and 11q23 aberrations. A few primary and/or secondary MDS cases combined with other cancer have been reported. Case Presentation: We report here an adult MDS associated with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). G-banding and array-proven multicolor banding (aMCB) revealed an unbalanced translocation der(7)t(1;7)(q21;q21), which led to 1q partial trisomy and 7q partial monosomy. Immunophenotype of this case was consistent with refractory anemia with excess of blasts (RAEB-2) according to World Health Organization (WHO) classification. Conclusions: As far as we know, this is the first adult MDS case associated with SCC and an unbalanced translocation t(1;7). Our patient received first cycle of azacitidine treatment and he showed bilateral pleural effusion as a secondary event. This toxicity is not limited to the first cycle as in previous MDS cases;our case is the first one to shown this toxicity as a secondary event of azacitidine treatment. As less than 10 cytogenetcially comparable cases without SCC were reported before in male MDS, we carefully conclude that this cytogenetic aberration may be a hint on a new gender associated MDS subgroup.

Tumour Associated Tissue Eosinophilia as a Prognostic Indicator in Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Upper Aerodigestive Tract

Immune response is known to develop against malignant tumours. Malignant tumours express newer antigen on their cell surface membrane which elicit immunological reaction in and around tumoural tissue. In early part of immune reaction neutrophil, eosinophil migrates followed by monocyte-macrophage cell. Tumor associated tissue eosinophilia (TATE) is believed to play a significant role in the biological behavior of the carcinoma. Eosinophil infiltrate in association with the head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) have been reviewed from time-to-time. The significance of such an association has been variably thought to be either a potential diagnostic tool for stromal invasion or as a prognostic indicator. The aim of this study was to investigate and evaluate the possible role of the tumour associated tissue eosinophilia (TATE) as a predictive indicator for the grading and establishing prognosis of the upper aerodigestive tract squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).

目的:探讨上皮性卵巢癌(EOC)患者血清鳞状细胞癌抗原(SCC-Ag)、糖链抗原50(CA50)、细胞角蛋白19片段(CYFRA21-1)水平与临床分期及预后的关系。方法:纳入本院2018年6月至2020年10月收治的76例EOC患者为研究对象(EOC组),其中国际妇产科协会(FIGO)Ⅰ期12例、Ⅱ期24例、Ⅲ期19例、Ⅳ期21例。另选取80例体检健康者为对照组。化学发光免疫分析法测定SCC-Ag、CA50、CYFRA21-1水平。患者随访3年,分为预后不良组(死亡患者)30例与预后良好组(存活患者)46例。血清SCC-Ag、CA50、CYFRA21-1水平与临床分期的相关性采用Spearman相关分析;受试者工作特征(ROC)曲线分析血清SCC-Ag、CA50、CYFRA21-1水平对EOC患者预后的预测价值;Kaplan-Meier生存曲线分析血清SCC-Ag、CA50、CYFRA21-1表达与EOC患者预后的关系;多因素Cox回归分析患者预后不良的影响因素。结果:与对照组相比,EOC组血清SCC-Ag、CA50、CYFRA21-1水平显著升高(P<0.001)。随着EOC患者FIGO分期的升高,SCC-Ag、CA50、CYFRA21-1水平依次显著升高(P<0.05)。EOC患者血清SCC-Ag、CA50、CYFRA21-1水平与FIGO分期呈正相关(P<0.05)。预后不良组血清SCC-Ag、CA50、CYFRA21-1水平高于预后良好组(P<0.001)。血清SCC-Ag、CA50、CYFRA21-1水平单独及联合预测EOC患者预后不良的AUC分别为0.868、0.857、0.850、0.954,且三者联合预测优于单独诊断(Z值分别为2.214、2.826、2.831,P<0.05)。SCC-Ag、CA50、CYFRA21-1高表达患者3年生存率分别低于SCC-Ag、CA50、CYFRA21-1低表达者(Log-rankχ^(2)值分别为21.494、21.449、16.727,P<0.001);多因素Cox回归分析显示,SCC-Ag、CA50、CYFRA21-1是EOC患者预后不良的危险因素(P<0.05)。结论:EOC患者血清SCC-Ag、CA50、CYFRA21-1水平升高与临床分期及预后密切相关。
