MA 16.13 - PD-L1 Expression Is a Prognostic Factor in Patients with Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Treated with Postoperative Adjuvant Radiotherapy (ID 9831)

Background:
Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), is reported to serve as an indicator of prognosis in many malignant tumors. The aim of this study was to determine whether PD-L1 expression status in tumor cell can predict patient’s prognosis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).
Method:
246 paraffin-embedded tissue samples were detected PD-L1 expression by immunohistochemistry from ESCC patients after surgery. And we statistically analyzed the association between expression of PD-L1 and clinicopathological factors and outcomes of survival.
Result:
The rate of positive PD-L1 expression was 24.4% (60/246) . Multivariate analysis indicated positive PD-L1 expression was associated with advanced TNM stage (P=0.009). The median of overall survival (OS) for patients with positive PD-L1 expression was similar to those with negative PD-L1 expression (Median OS, 52.4 vs. 56.4 months, P=0.466). However, in the subgroup analysis, the results indicated that the prognosis of patients with positive PD-L1 expression treated with adjuvant radiotherapy was significantly better than those with negative PD-L1 expression (Median OS, 84.4 vs. 36.0 months, P=0.046), while the OS of positive PD-L1 expression patients treated with adjuvant chemotherapy was poorer than those with negative PD-L1 expression although without significant statistical differences (Median OS, 21.8 months vs. 41.0 months, P=0.765) (Figure 1). Multivariate Cox regression hazards analysis revealed PD-L1 expression statue was not an independent prognostic factor (P=0.804) for entire cohort.Figure 1 Subgroup analysis for OS in ESCC based upon PD-L1 expression. (A) Subgroup of surgery alone; (B) Subgroup of surgery plus adjuvant chemotherapy; (C) Subgroup of surgery plus adjuvant radiotherapy; (D) Subgroup of surgery plus adjuvant chemoradiotherapy.
Conclusion:
Positive PD-L1 expression was likely to be more associated with malignant biological behavior of ESCC. PD-L1 expression was not a prognostic factor of OS for entire cohort, however, it is a prognostic factor in patients treated with postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy.

P2.02-013 - Investigation of Genomic and TCR Repertoire Evolution of AAH, AIS, MIA to Invasive Lung Adenocarcinoma by Multiregion Exome and TCR Sequencing (ID 9192)
09:30 - 09:30 | Author(s): J. Hu
- Abstract
Background:
Carcinogenesis may result from accumulation of molecular aberrations (molecular evolution) and escaping from host immune surveillance (immunoediting). It has been postulated that atypical adenomatous hyperplasia (AAH) represents preneoplastic lesion that may progress to adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS), minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA) and further to frankly invasive adenocarcinoma (ADC). However, due to lack of appropriate study materials, the molecular and immune landscape of AAH, AIS or MIA have not been well studied and the definition and management of these lesions remain controversial.
Method:
With the intent to delineate the pivotal molecular and immune events during early carcinogenesis of lung adenocarcinoma, we have collected 119 resected pre- and early neoplastic lung lesions including AAH (N=24), AIS (N=27), MIA (N=54) and ADC (N=14) from 53 patients including 41 patients presenting with multifocal lesions and 25 patients carrying more than one type of pathology. Two to five spatially separated regions from each lesion were subjected to whole exome sequencing and T cell receptor sequencing.
Result:
Mutation burden (average SNVs) was found to progressively increase from 1.32/Mb in AAH to 2.55/MB in AIS, 5.42/MB in MIA and 15.38/MB in ADC. Genomic heterogeneity has also become more complex with neoplastic progression with mean Shannon index of 1.53 in AAH, 1.78 in AIS, 1.56 in MIA and 1.79 in ADC. An increase in C>A transversions coincident with a decrease in A>G transitions and progressively increasing APOBEC enrichment scores (4.13 in AAH, 5.63 in AIS, 6.02 in MIA and 6.59 in ADC) were observed with neoplastic disease progression. Furthermore, phylogenetic analysis revealed varying evolutional processes in AAH, AIS, MIA and ADC with canonical cancer gene mutations in KRAS, ATM, TP53 and EGFR etc. as key drivers in a subset of patients. TCR sequencing demonstrated a progressive decrease in T cell density (average percent T cells among all nuclear cells: 12% in AAH, 8% in AIS, 7% in MIA and 4% in ADC) and a progressive decrease in productive TCR clonality (average productive TCR clonality: 0.0434 in AAH, 0.0427 in AIS, 0.0399 in MIA and 0.0395 in ADC) suggesting suppressive T cell repertoire in more advanced diseases.
Conclusion:
Our results provide molecular evidence supporting the model of early lung carcinogenesis from AAH, to AIS, MIA and ADC and demonstrated that with disease progression, genomic landscape of lung neoplastic lesions has become progressively more complex along with progressive immunosuppressive TCR repertoire.
