Prognostic and Therapeutic Significance of Circulating Tumor Cell Phenotype Detection Based on Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition Markers in Early and Midstage Colorectal Cancer First-Line Chemotherapy

Purpose. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is related to the process of metastasis and challenges the detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) based on epithelial cell adhesion molecules. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have been proven to be a prognostic indicator of colorectal cancer (CRC)...

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is related to the process of metastasis and challenges the detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) based on epithelial cell adhesion molecules. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have been proven to be a prognostic indicator of colorectal cancer (CRC). Although there is evidence that CTC heterogeneity based on EMT markers is associated with disease progression, no standard recommendations have been established for clinical practice. This study is aimed at evaluating the prognostic significance of dynamic CTC detection based on EMT for early and midstage colorectal cancer patients. Methods. 101 patients with early to midterm CRC were admitted from January 2016 to September 2018. All patients underwent CRC radical surgery and standard chemotherapy. Patients in the postchemotherapy were able to epithelial mesenchymal transformed (EMT) CTC testing in peripheral blood using the CanPatrol™ system. Multiple CTC tests were performed according to patient’s own condition and different follow-up time points. Based on patient’s basic information and follow-up data, the Kaplan-Meier method was utilized to establish the progression-free survival model, and the log-rank test was utilized to compare the survival rates between the two groups. Result. Total CTC change of the patient is the best method to predict whether progression-free survival progresses in tumor patients (Area=0.857). The second detection of total number of CTCs (P<0.01) detected after chemotherapy, epithelial CTCs (P=0.032), the increased total number of CTCs (P<0.01), and the increased number of mesenchymal CTCs (P=0.015) are significantly related with patient’s poor progression-free survival. Conclusion. Analysis of the second CTC count and classification after follow-up are more related to the survival prognosis of the tumor. The joint analysis of CTC dynamic monitoring data is a good tool to judge patient’s survival prognosis.Guang LuZhiwen LuCaixia LiXianping HuangQiang LuoHindawi LimitedarticleComputer applications to medicine.
