Abstract

Introduction. Individualization of patients with lung cancer treatment remains one of pressing questions of modern oncology. One of main markers are CD31/CD34 – that can help to assess microvessel density (MD) in the tumor. The aim of our work was to evaluate MD in the tumor in patients with early stages NSCLC, and assess correlation of this factor with clinico-morphologycal criterions and prognosis for patients.

Materials and methods. MD assessment was conducted in 241 patients with І-ІІ studies of NSCLC. All patients were treated in Zaporozhye regional clinical oncology center since June 2008 to December 2012. 202 of them were men (83,8%) and 39 - women (16,2%). Mean age of the patients that were included in the study was 60,9 year (95% ВІ, 59,9-61,9). After operation immunohistochemical analysis of tumors were performed. MD assessed with help of the CD31/CD34 markers. All statistic analysis conducted in program “Statistica 6.0”.

Results. Mean count of microvessels in tumors were 68,7±2,1 (95%, CI: 64,5-72,9%). For more convenient analysis of prognosis, all patients were divided in two groups. First group: patients with high MD in the tumor (≥63 microvessels), and another one – patients with low MD in the tumor (<63 microvessels).

No any correlation between age, sex, body mass index of patients, locations, “T”, “N” criteria, stage of disease and microvessel density in the tumor was founded. Also, no correlation between MD and histologyc type of tumor, necrosis in the tumor and infiltration of visceral pleura was presented. 

Survival in patients with low MD in the tumor was better than survival in patients with high MD in the malignances. Means of survival of patients with low MD in the tumor was 52,7±2,8 month (95%, CI: 47,3-58,2). At the same time, survival in patients with high MD was 35,6±3,2 month (95%, CI, 29,4-41,8). Median of survival patients with low MD has not reached. Median of survival patients with high MD was 30,0±8,9 month. So, survival of patients with low MD was better than survival in patients with high MD in the tumor. Also, Log-rank confirmed this statement (р=0,00017).

 

Conclusion:

  1. CD31/CD34 expression analysis and microvessels density assessment in the tumor patients with early stages of NSCLC help to make conclusion that no statistical correlation between age, sex, body mass index of patients, locations, “T”, “N” criteria, stage of disease and microvessel density in the tumor presented. Also, no correlation between MD and histologyc type of tumor, necrosis in the tumor and infiltration of visceral pleura was founded.
  2. Microvessels density has important prognostic role, that was confirmed with univariate and multivariate analysis. We can use CD31/CD34 for prognosis in patients with early stages of NSCLC.
