P1.05-025 - Prognostic Significance of Hepatitis B Virus to Stage IB Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients in China (ID 5474)
14:30 - 14:30 | Author(s): Z. Li
- Abstract
Background:
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is considered to be a major cause of hepatocellular carcinoma. However, little is known about the role of chronic HBV infection in other malignancies. We aimed to determine HBV infection with other well established prognostic factors and performed multivariate survival analyses to evaluate its value in Chinese non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.
Methods:
It is a retrospective evaluation of the impact of HBV infection status in 366 patients who underwent complete surgical resection for stage IB NSCLC NSCLC patients in Shanghai Chest Hospital from 1998 to 2008. All the patients were Shanghai Niece and all the stage IB NSCLC patients didn’t receive adjuvant chemotherapy. The patients’ blood samples were tested with chemiluminescent immunoassay for the presence of HBV surface antigen (HBsAg), antibodies against HBV core antigen (anti-HBc), and antibodies against HBsAg (anti-HBs) before operation. Other variables in the analysis included age, gender, history of smoking and pathologic type. HBsAg positive was definite as HBV infection.
Results:
Figure 1 51 HBV infection cases (13.93%) were positive in stage IB NSCLC. The 5-year overall survival of patients without or with chronic HBV infection were 71.25% and 50.98% (P=0.028). Multivariate analyses revealed that gender, chronic HBV infection were significant predictive factors for overall survival (P< 0.05).
Conclusion:
The chronic HBV infection is a significant independent prognostic factor in stage IB non-small cell lung cancer.

P2.01-001 - Enrichment-Free, Rapid Metabolic Assay for Detection of Tumor Cells in Pleural Effusion and Pheripheral Blood (ID 3790)
14:30 - 14:30 | Author(s): Z. Li
- Abstract
Background:
Current methods for circulating tumor cell (CTC) detection are mostly include an enrichment step and the subsequent immunostaining-based identification of CTCs by epithelial and leukocytes markers. These methods are limited by loss and damage of CTCs during the enrichment and fail to determine the malignancy and drug targets of putative CTCs.
Methods:
We describe an enrichment-free, metabolic-based assay for rapid detection of tumor cells in the pleural effusion and peripheral blood samples. All nucleated cells are plated on microwell chips that contain 200,000 addressable microwells. These cells are labeled with a fluorescent anti-CD45 antibody (leukocyte marker), a fluorescent glucose analog (2-NBDG) and a dead cell marker (EthD-1). The microwell chips are imaged by a computerized high-speed fluorescent microscope in three colors and the bright filed. A computation algorithm analyzes the images and identify candidate tumor cells that are viable, CD45 negative, and exhibit high glucose uptake (EthD-1[-]/CD45[-]/2-NBDG[high]). A micromanipultor is then utilized to retrieve single tumor cells based on recorded addresses for single-cell sequencing.
Results:
EthD-1[-]/CD45[-]/2-NBDG[>100] cells are identified as candidate tumor cells. Single-cell sequencing based on a small panel of driver oncogenes (EGFR, KRAS, PIK3CA) shows that >60% of candidate tumor cells are true tumor cells harboring mutations in the panel. Single-cell whole exome sequencing results show all candidate tumor cells have high mutation frequency in dirver oncogenece and tumor suppressors from Qiagen's Human Lung Cancer Panel. Meanwhile, CD45[-]/EthD-1[-]/2-NBDG[>100] tumor cells show heterogenieity in cytokeratin (CK) expression, and only ~40% of these tumor cells are found CK positive. Figure 1
Conclusion:
We have developed a simple and functional-based method to rapidly identify tumor cells with high glucose uptake in the clinical liquid samples without enrichment. These tumor cells are addressable, enabling single-cell manipulation and sequencing. Clinical feasibility of this assay has been established by testing samples from a cohort of patients.
