ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a lethal disease with a high potency of metastasis or recurrence after radical resection. Effective predictors for metastasis and recurrence postoperatively were dominant for the development of systemic adjuvant treatment regimens. The ATP hydrolase correlated gene CD73 was described as a promoter in tumor growth and immune escape of PDAC. However, there lacked research focused on the role of CD73 in PDAC metastasis. This study aimed to investigate the expression of CD73 in PDAC patients with different outcomes as well as the prognostic effect of CD73 for disease-free survival (DFS).METHODS:
The expression level of CD73 in cancerous samples from 301 PDAC patients was evaluated by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and translated into a histochemistry score (H-score) by the HALO analysis system. Then, the CD73 H-score was involved in multivariate Cox regression along with other clinicopathological characteristics to find independent prognostic factors for DFS. Finally, a nomogram was constructed based on those independent prognostic factors for DFS prediction.RESULTS:
Higher CD73 expression was found in PDAC patients with tumor metastasis postoperatively. Meanwhile, higher CD73 expressions were also investigated in PDAC patients diagnosed with advanced N stage and T stage. Furthermore, CD73 H-score along with tumor margin status, CA19-9, 8th N stage, and adjuvant chemotherapy was indicated as independent prognostic factors for DFS in PDAC patients. The nomogram based on these factors predicted DFS in a good manner.CONCLUSION:
CD73 was associated with PDAC metastasis and served as an effective prognostic factor for DFS in PDAC patients after radical surgery.Palavras-chave
