Prognostic value of an integrated RECIST v1.1 and CA19-9 dual-marker stratification model in advanced pancreatic cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy
探讨实体瘤临床疗效评价标准(response evaluation criteria in solid tumor,RECIST)1.1版联合血清糖类抗原19-9(carbohydrate antigen 19-9,CA19-9)双指标分层模型在接受一线化疗的晚期胰腺癌患者中的预后预测价值。

回顾并连续纳入2020年4月—2022年7月于复旦大学附属肿瘤医院接受一线化疗的晚期胰腺癌患者,化疗方案包括吉西他滨联合白蛋白结合型紫杉醇化疗方案(AG)、AG联合程序性死亡[蛋白]配体-1(programmed death ligand-1,PD-L1)抑制剂方案及mFOLFIRINOX方案,根据化疗2个周期后的影像学(RECIST 1.1版)与生化反应(CA19-9下降≥50%),将患者分为双指标响应组、单一指标响应组和双指标无响应组。采用Kaplan-Meier法和log-rank检验比较各组总生存期(overall survival,OS)的差异,并进行亚组分析。
To investigate the prognostic value of a dual-marker stratification model combining response evaluation criteria in solid tumor (RECIST) v1.1 and serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer receiving first-line chemotherapy.
Methods
2
Patients with advanced pancreatic cancer who received first-line chemotherapy at Fudan University
Shanghai Cancer Center from April 2020 to July 2022 were retrospectively enrolled. Chemotherapy regimens included AG
AG combined with programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) inhibitor
and mFOLFIRINOX. Based on the radiological (RECIST v1.1) and biochemical (CA19-9 reduction ≥ 50%) responses after two cycles of chemotherapy
patients were classified into three groups: dual-marker responders (radiological non-progressive disease and biochemical response)
single-marker responders (either radiological or biochemical response)
and dual-marker non-responders (radiological progressive disease and non-biochemical response). Overall survival (OS) was compared among groups using Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test
and subgroup analyses were performed.
Results
2
Among the 69 patients included in the study
43 patients (62.32%) were classified into the dual-marker response group
19 (27.54%) into the single-marker response group
and 7 (10.14%) into the dual-marker non-response group. The median OS showed a significant gradient among the three groups: the dual-marker response group had a median OS of 404 days
which was significantly longer than that of the other two groups (
P
=0.01 and
P
=0.04
respectively). Subgroup analysis revealed that RECIST v1.1 had better predictive performance in the mFOLFIRINOX subgroup (
P
=0.01)
while CA19-9 showed superior predictive value in the AG subgroup (
P
=0.01). However
neither single nor combined indicators effectively predicted prognosis in the AG combined with PD-L1 inhibitor subgroup.
Conclusion
2
The dual-marker stratification model combining RECIST v1.1 and CA19-9 effectively distinguishes the prognosis of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer receiving chemotherapy
providing incremental value over single indicators. This model is simple and practical
offering reference for individualized treatment decisions.
