摘要
Background: Approximately 30% of all colorectal cancer patients are diagnosed with stage II disease. Adjuvant therapy is not widely recommended. However, it is well-established that a subgroup of patients with stage II is at high risk for recurrence within their life time and should be considered for adjuvant chemotherapy. The present work was designed to assess the value of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) as a predictor of disease outcome in a series of 202 stage II colorectal cancer (CRC) patients with long-term follow-up. Methods: The present study comprises a series of 202 patients who underwent bowel resection for stage II CRC at Turku University Hospital. Archival paraffin-embedded CRC tissue samples were used to prepare tissue microarray blocks for immunohistochemical staining with MMP-9 antibody. Results: Forty-eight percent of all CRC samples were positive for MMP-9. There was no significant correlation between MMP-9 expression and age, depth of invasion, and lymph node status. However, MMP-9 expression was significantly related to histological grade (p=0.03) and location of the tumor (p=0.01), therefore, being lower in high-grade tumors and most intense in carcinomas of the descending colon and rectum. Tumors with high MMP-9 expression showed a higher recurrence rate than tumors with low expression (p=0.02). MMP-9 negative tumors had a more favorable disease-free survival (DFS) than those expressing MMP-9 (p=0.03). The same was true with disease-specific survival (DSS; p=0.02) as well, high expression of MMP-9 being associated with shorter survival rates. In multivariate (Cox) survival analysis, MMP-9 expression proved to be an independent predictor of DFS, but not DSS, which was predicted by age and sex only. Conclusion: Quantification of MMP-9 expression seems to provide valuable prognostic information in stage II CRC, particularly, in selecting the patients at high risk for recurrent disease who might benefit from adjuvant therapy. © 2009 Humana Press Inc.
