Prognostic value of EGFR family expression in lymph node-negative esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients
چکیده انگلیسی
The human epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family has been widely studied in cancer, however, the prognostic role of EGFR family expression in lymph node-negative esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients have not been invalidated. This study was designed to determine the prognostic value of EGFR family expression in a population of lymph node-negative ESCC patients treated with curative resection. EGFR family protein expression was examined by immunohistochemical analysis of tissue microarrays of 94 patients with lymph node-negative ESCC after radical esophagectomy with three-field lymphadenectomy. Survival differences were compared using Kaplan-Meier analysis. Cox regression analyses were performed to determine the prognostic factors for overall survival and disease-free survival (DFS). ErbB4 expression was found to be an independent prognostic factor for DFS in patients without lymph node metastasis; increased ErbB4 expression was associated with decreased DFS. Additionally, patients with high ErbB4 expression tended to have worse overall survival. EGFR, ErbB2 and ErbB3 expression were not significantly associated with survival in lymph node-negative ESCC patients. Increased ErbB4 immunohistochemical expression was associated with poor prognosis in lymph node-negative ESCC patients.
