PROGNOSTIC VALllE OF THE NEW TUMOR MARKER CZFRA 21-1 IN NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CANCFX. J.Niklihski, M.Furman, E. Chyczewska, L.Chyczewski, F.Rogowski, J.LaudaAski Departments of: Thoracic Surgery, Pneumonology, Pathology and Nuclear Medicine, Medical School, Bialystok, Poland Cytokeratin 19 is particular-y abundant in lung carcinoma. 85 patients (pts) with non-small cell lung cancer- NSCLC (58bperable, 15 unresectable tumors, 12 proved distance metastasis) were investigated to establish CYFRA 21-1 serum utility as a prognostic factor, using IRMA method (CIS bio GIF-SUR-YVETTE).CYFRA 21-1 assays were performed before surgery and serially after tumor resection. In the 73 pts qualified for thoracotomy, increased CYFRA 21-1 levels were observed in 52% (33% of stage I, 47% of stage II, 57% of stage IIIa, 67% of stage IIIb). In 12 pts with TNM IV CYFRA 21-1 elevated levels were obtained in 75% CYFRA 21-1 levels were significantly lower in 58 pts with resectable tumors than in 15 cases with unresectable (p< 0.02). The study proved that CYFRA 21-1 preoperative determination and the course of levels of this marker during follow-up was important. Pretreatment elevation resulted in poorer patient survival. Complete resection resulted in a significant drop in serum CYFRA 21-1 levels in 16 pts who had elevated marker level before surgery and no further disease evidence. In 14 of 58 who survived complete resection, recurrence were subsequently detected. The percentage of recurrence in patients with normal postoperative CYFRA 21-1 levels was 2.3% (l/43). The percentageof recurrence in pts with CYFRA postoperative elevated levels was significantlyhigher and equaled 87% (13/15). In 11 of 13 pts with recurrence after complete resection, recurrent elevation of CYFRA 21-1 preceded changes detectable by CT or clinical examination by 2 to 6 months. In conclusion, CYFRA 21-1 appears to be a useful prognostic marker in NSCLC.
ROLE OF ELASTOTIC FRAMEWORK ON THE TUMOR DEVELOPMENT OF PERIPHERAL LUNG ADENOCARCINOMA LESS THAN 4 CM IN DIAMETER.
T. Eto, H. Suzula, A. Honda,and Y.Nagashima.Shizuoka General Hospital, Shizuoka, Japan. Two hundred six patients of peripheral lung adenocarcinoma (PLA) less than 4 cm in diameter were studied histologically, morphometrically, radiographically and clinicopathologically in special reference to the stromal elastosis. We classified PLA mto two types from the stromal elastotic framework (FFW). Type 1(24 patients) had the preserved EFW consisting of constantly thick stroma. Type 2 (182 patients) revealed the disrupted EFW especially in the center of tumor forming central fibrosis (CF) where many air spaces were collapsed or collagenized. At the periphery of type 2, extending stroma (Exst) was formed with thin walled elastic framework similar to normal alveoli (NA). From the image analysis, increased amounts of elastic fibers could be calculated in type 1 ( 3.3-9.7 fold) and type 2 ( 3.9-7.6 fold) EFW compared to NA, which mean the contraction rate of pre-existing NA. In contrast, Exst in type 2 contained 0.8-2.1 fold of the fibers compared to NA suggesting mild-reacting pre-existing NA. Radiographically, in type 1, tumor size hardly enlarged and the density tended to increase gradually over a long time. In type 2, tumor size tended to increase abruptly over a short time. As prognosis of patients who were followed more than 3 years, 50% had relapsed in type 2, but none in type 1. Conclusion ; Tumor stroma in the early stage of PLA might show the preserved EFW (type 1) formed by contractmg and thickening reaction of NA. As tumor developing, disrupted EFW (type 2) form CF with Exst. It indicate the stromal invasion and directly reflect to the prognosis.
