P1.06-029 - Serum Glutathione Peroxidase 3 as a Biomarker of Postoperative Relapse in Patients with Lung Cancer (ID 892)
09:30 - 09:30 | Author(s): S. Lee
- Abstract
Background:
Glutathione peroxidase 3 (GPx3) which is an extracellular secretory protein is down regulated in patients with early stage lung cancer. We examined the usefulness of serum GPx3 as a biomarker for monitoring of relapse after surgery.
Methods:
We prospectively collected serial serum samples at baseline, 3 months (3m), 6 months (6m), and 12 months (12m) after operation from the patients who underwent surgery during the year 2013. GPx3 levels were measured three times per sample using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and the mean values were analyzed by repeated measure analysis of variance.
Results:
A total of 126 (73 adenocarcinoma, 31 squamous cell carcinoma, 22 others) patients were analyzed in this study. Median age of patients was 66 years old (range, 39-80) and 19 (15.4%) out of 123 lung cancer patients were confirmed relapse during the follow-up period of 2 years. In squamous cell carcinoma, the changes of mean serum GPx3 were significantly different between relapse (baseline: 13.3 ± 1.1 μg/mL, 3m: 17.1 ± 4.6 μg/mL, 6m: 14.8 ± 2.7 μg/mL, 12m: 17.9 ± 1.7 μg/mL) and control group (baseline: 10.8 ± 2.3 μg/mL, 3m: 13.4 ± 3.4 μg/mL, 6m: 12.4 ± 2.6 μg/mL, 12m: 13.5 ± 4.7 μg/mL, p=0.043). The changes of mean serum GPx3 levels were not different between two groups in all histology (p=0.258) and adenocarcinoma (p=0.701).
Conclusion:
Postoperative serum GPx3 levels were significantly elevated only in relapsed squamous cell histology, not in adenocarcinoma. More large scaled validation studies are warranted.
