Multidrug-resistance protein (MDR-1) and other predictors of prognosis in renal cell carcinoma V. Altieri Chair of Urology Endourology, Oncologic Urology Unit “Federico II” University, Napoli Roma, november 7th, 2008
INTRODUCTION 1 MORE EFFECTIVE DRUGS GREATER SCIENTIFIC INTEREST NEED FOR BETTER ASSESSMENT OF THE CLINICAL FEATURES BETTER “PROGNOSTIC ASSESSMENT”
INTRODUCTION 2 • Tumor size • T stage • Metastasis (nodal and visceral and/or skeletal) • Grade (Fuhrman) • ECOG PS • Symptoms at presentation • Histology type • Prognostic Biomarkers • Sex • Age
T LOCAL INVASION T VENOUS INVASION Renal sinus Perinephric fat Gerota’s fascia Adrenal Renal Caval (Infiltration ?) Atrial
TNM (2002) V = neoplastic thrombus involvement V0 – absent V1 – renal vein V2 – caval (infradiaphragmatic) V3 – caval (supradiaphragmatic)
T – PROGNOSTIC VALUE Ficarra V et al; Urol 2004 * Tsui K; J. Urol 2000
PROPOSAL FOR A NEW STAGING CLASSIFICATION Ficarra V; J. Urol 2007 (p < 0,0001)
T – STAGE:PROGNOSIS Ficarra V; J. Urol 2007 (p < 0,0001)
“STAGE GROUPING” PROGNOSTIC VALUE Tsui K; J. Urol 2000 (p < 0,001)
GRADING (FUHRMAN) Tumor Stage (p=0.0001) Synchronous metastases (p=0.003) Lymphnode involvment (p=0.0001) Renal vein involvment (p=0.0001) Tumor size (p=0.0001) Perirenal fat involvement (p=0.001) Multicentricity (p=0.14) correlation Nuclear grade Bretheau D, et al Cancer 1995 dec 15;76(12):2543-9

MULTIDRUG RESISTANCE Transporter Associated protein MDR-1/P glycoprotein MRP
MDRMETHODS • Paraffin embedded RCC samples • Immunohistochemical technique (Two independent pathologists) Assessment of positivity of the anti-MDR-1 polyclonal primary antibody • Cox multivariate regression analysis • Kaplan-Meyer
MDR-1 IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY The MDR-1 expression in RCC A: low expression of MDR-1 (x100). B: low expression of MDR-1 (x250). C: high expression of MDR-1 (x400). D: high expression of MDR-1 (x400).
MDRDISCUSSION - CONCLUSIONS • Good correlation with clinical parameters • Parameter of biologic invasiveness ? • Good prognostic significance, also as univariate parameter • Future, possible diagnostic (therapeutic) implications ? • Not very expensive
“TAKE HOME MESSAGE” 1 • Current TNM recommended for prognosis and therapy • T category (T3!) should be refined • T1a • Adrenal invasion ↓ • N category: N2 > N1(?)
“TAKE HOME MESSAGE” 2 • Performance status (ECOG) • Symptoms at presentation GOOD PROGNOSTIC CORRELATION
“TAKE HOME MESSAGE” 3 • Fuhrman grade • RCC subtypes • No biomarker should be routinely used SHOULD BE USED
“TAKE HOME MESSAGE” 4 • Integrated prognostic systems or NOMOGRAMS not routinely recommended in clinical practice, but in stratified inclusion for trials (RISK GROUPS)
