    Abstract Purpose: Patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) who underwent total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) showed an increase in the percentage of complete pathological response (pCR). The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between Ki-67, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL), and TNT in LARC patients.
    Method: In total, one hundred fifty-nine patients with LARC were included in this prospective study. The international working group was used to categorize the TIL into three groups based on the percentage and density of staining: group 0 (0-10%), group 1 (11-59%), and group 2 (≥ 60%). Ki-67 expression was classified as low (≤ 50%) or high (> 50%).
    Result: Most patients had tumor grade III (74.2%) and T2-T3 (78.6%). Lymph node involvement (48.7%) and tumor size ≥ 3 cm were detected in approximately half of the patients. Forty-four percent of patients had a high Ki-67 index; 15.7% of patients belonged to group 1, and 21.4% belonged to group 2. pCR was detected in 18.2% of the patients. TIL and Ki-67 levels were significantly correlated with pCR (p = 0.001 and 0.003 for multivariate analysis and 0.001 and 0.03 for univariate analysis, respectively).
    Conclusion: There was a statistically significant correlation between Ki-67, TIL, and pCR following TNT protocol, which may help maximize the therapeutic outcome.

    Abstract Objectives: Thither is a more pressing effort to think about chemotherapy (CTx) in second-line and beyond in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer (mPC). The current work aimed to evaluate the value of the Glasgow prognostic score (GPS) and modified Glasgow prognostic score (mGPS) to predict the survival in patients receiving second-line CTx protocol.
    Material and methods: We retrospectively reviewed the patients' medical files with mPC who received second-line CTx protocol between September 2013 and December 2017. The GPS/mGPS graded from 0 to 2 based on C-reactive protein and serum albumin.
    Results: One hundred and sixty-nine patients with mPC were eligible. Survival of patients with Score 0 (GPS/mGPS) was better than that of Score 1 (GPS/mGPS) or Score 2 (GPS/mGPS), which was statistically significant (
    Conclusion: Our data suggested that GPS/mGPS is an easy and applicable index that may be used in daily practice and may help in the prognostic stratification of mPC patients to avert overtreatment in frail patients and raise the best supportive treatment concept.

    Abstract Objectives: Background: Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) reflect the antitumor response of the host. This study aimed to assess the value of TILs in predicting pathological response after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and survival outcomes in patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).
    Methods: A retrospective analysis conducted between February 2012 and December 2015. Patients with stage I, II, and III TNBC patients were enrolled. TILs were assessed in haematoxylin and eosin-stained sections from true cut needle biopsies before NAC. According to international TILs working group, we had three groups; low (0-10%), intermediate (11-59%), and high TILs (= 60%).
    Results: A total of 159 patients was included, 56% were premenopausal and 76.1% were less than 60 years. The main bulk of patients had histological grade III, high Ki 67, and high TILs (74.2%, 84.3%, and 72.3%), respectively. The pre-treatment high TILs was significantly correlated with high Ki-67 (p = 0.001), pCR (p<0.001), and late relapse (p<0.001). Other clinico-pathological features such as age, menopausal status, tumor size, histological grade, lymph node involvement and lympho-vascular invasion weren't significantly correlated with TILs levels. 71.3% of enrolled patients having high TILs achieved pCR, vs 27.8% in the intermediate group and 30.8% in low group. After a median follow-up of 45.3 months, patients with high TILs were significantly associated with longer DFS and OS as compared to intermediate and low TILs (27.2 vs 15.9 vs11.4 months for DFS and 70.2 vs 34.3 vs 27.6 months for OS)p<0.001).
    Conclusions: Pre-treatment level of TILs had a predictive and prognostic value in TNBC patients receiving NAC. TILs may be integrated into the basic laboratory for TNBC prognostication as a credible biomarker.

    Abstract Objectives: The The study proposed to assess the relation between the body mass index (BMI) and clinicopathological features of metastatic urinary bladder cancer (uBCa) and the influence on survival outcome.
    Methods: A retrospective study included 201 metastatic uBCa patients. They classified into three groups according to BMI, group I; a BMI of 18.5-24.9 kg/m2, group II; a BMI of 25-29.9 kg/m2, and group III; BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2. The Kaplan - Meier curve used for survival analysis.
    Results: 69 patients (34.3%) belonged to group I, 75 patients (37.3%) belonged to group II, and 57 patients (28.4%) belonged to group III. Smoking history was detected in 44.8% of patients with Performance Status (PS) 0 in 55.2%, and PS 1 in 26.9%. Of note, 44.8% of patients responded to 1st chemotherapy and 50.7% received more than 2 lines. Through the univariate analysis, poor prognostic outcome was associated with male (P= 0.01), smoking (P=0.002), BMI group II and group III (p=0.00), PS 2 compared with PS 0 (P<0.001), metastasis to liver, lung, and lymph node (P<0.001), and no response to first line chemotherapy (P<0.001). While no effect for age (P=0.1), bone metastasis (P=0.6), serum LDH (P=0.1), serum albumin (P=0.4), and ≥2 chemotherapy lines (P=0.5) on survival outcome. After the follows-up period, the OS was 12.7 months for all patients. Regarding the BMI groups, the median OS was 23.5 months, 12.9 months, and 10.2 months for group I, group II, and group III respectively (p<0.001).
    Conclusion: High BMI associated with aggressive clinico-pathological features and poor survival outcome in metastatic uBCa.

    Abstract Currently, most men are diagnosed with prostate cancer (PCa) after a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test shows an elevated level of the PSA protein. An elevated level suggests cancer may be present. If an elevation is detected, a biopsy to detect cancer is followed. But the PSA test is controversial. An elevated level does not always mean there is cancer present. The test often leads men to having unnecessary biopsies and treatments. Even if cancer is found on biopsy, many of these cancers are slow growing and would not impact the lives of the men who have them. Current advances in molecular techniques have provided new tools facilitating the discovery of new biomarkers for PCa. The purpose of this review is to examine the advances in PCa biomarkers and implication for possible improving disease outcome. The future of cancer prognosis may rely on small panels of markers that can accurately predict PCa presence, stage, and metastasis and can serve as prognosticators, targets, and/or surrogate endpoints of disease progression and response to therapy.

    Abstract Background: In terminal cancer patients (TCPs), one of the most important things is to define the survival to help the main responsible physicians, patients, and main caregivers make decisions, set goals, and work across the end-of-life strategies.
    Patients and methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical files of TCPs, who died during September 2011 and December 2017, to recognize the correlation between prognostic nutritional indices (PNIs) and survival in those subtypes of patients. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to identify the cutoff value of PNI.
    Results: A total of 858 TCPs were eligible and included, the median age was 62 years (range: 18-107). The most common primary cancer sites were colorectal cancer in 151 patients (17.6%), hepatobiliary in 129 (15%), lung cancer in 115 (13.4%), breast cancer in 114 (13.3%), and genitourinary in 80 (9.3%). The mean value of PNI for all cancer types was 32.9 ± 6.7. The values showed different levels across cancer types. For patients who lived >2 weeks, PNI was 36.7 compared with that who died within 2 weeks was 29.3, which was a statistically significant (
    Conclusion: The PNI is an easy and an applicable biomarker to estimate life expectancy in TCPs.

    Abstract Background: For physicians and patients, survival estimation is vital for the treatment plan, especially with frequent use of new therapeutic agents in metastatic breast cancer (MBC). The Chuang's Prognostic Scale (CPS) is a validated prognostic score that may be useful in the avoidance of unnecessary palliative systemic treatment.
    Aim: The present study aimed to evaluate the CPS in survival prediction in patients with MBC after at least two lines of palliative systemic chemotherapy protocols (PSCPs).
    Methods: CPS was prospectively measured in 221 patients with MBC. The total score ranged from 0 to 8.5; the lower score refers to a good prognosis. The survival assessment was made by the Kaplan-Meier curve and the survival difference among the groups was estimated by log-rank test.
    Results: Using the cutoff value of CPS 5.7, the patients were classified into two groups: Group A had score ≤5.7 (174 patients, 78.7%) and Group B had CPS score >5.7 (47 patients, 21.3%). About 86.2% of the patients in Group A survived >3 months (median survival was 165 days, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 77-261) compared with 21.3% of patients survived in Group B (median survival was 81 days, 95% CI: 55-123) (
    Conclusion: CPS could be helpful in estimating the survival outcome in patients with MBC who received at least two PSCPs.

    Abstract Background: There is growing evidence that the response to chemotherapy may be affected by Androgen Receptor (AR) expression suggesting that triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC) AR+ and quadruple negative breast cancer (QNBC) subtypes may have different diseases behavior.
    Methodology: We retrospectively estimated the predictive value of the AR expression in stage II and stage III TNBC patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and correlated with the rate of pathological response (pCR).
    Results: Of 89 TNBC patients, 29 patients (32.6%) were TNBC AR+ and 60 patients (67.4) were QNBC. Most of the patients were less than 60 years old. Of note, approximately 62% in the QNBC group were less than 40 years old compared with 39 % in the TNBC AR+ group. The Ki-67 expression was higher in the QNBC in comparison with TNBC AR+ being 86.7% and 65.5%, respectively. QNBC subgroup showed higher rates of pCR compared with TNBC; 60% and 24%, respectively. Higher Ki-67 expression, higher grade, and lymph node involvement were statistically significantly correlated with the rate of pCR in the QNBC group (p=0.02, p=0.04, and p=0.03, respectively). In contrast, no significant association was observed between pCR and clinical-pathological features in the TNBC AR+ group.
    Conclusion: Our results suggested that the AR expression in TNBC may be applied as a predictive marker for NAC. TNBC AR+ had a lower rate of pCR compared with QNBC, suggesting that this subtype may have a partial chemoresistance.

    Abstract Background: Although, efforts to encourage palliative care only for terminal patients, aggressive end-of-life care (EOL) care still common for those probably to die shortly.
    Aim: Multicenter experiences to investigate where did we stand in this era?
    Patients and methods: A retrospective study included patients with advanced solid tumors. The presence of one or more of the following indicators in the last month of life (LM) referred to aggressive EOL care: emergency department (ED) visits ≥ twice, admission to the hospital through ED, death in critical care units (CCUs), and palliative chemotherapy (PC) at the past 2 weeks before death.
    Results: A total of 435 patients, 51.5% were men with a median age of 62 years (range: 17-108), were included in the study. Most of the patients (89.2%) belonged to Group II; they had attended ED at least twice (60%), approximately 53% admitted to the hospital through ED, 31% received PC-LM with 41% of them had at the past 2 weeks before death, 13% died in the CCUs, and more than half of them (53%) survived <2 weeks. Kaplan-Meier estimator revealed that median survival was 30 days in Group I versus 13 days in Group II (odds ratio: 1.63; 95% confidence interval: 1.20-2.21;
    Conclusion: The majority of our patients continue with anticancer treatments they possibly do not need and associated with poor survival.
