Abstract:
BACKGROUND:The purpose of this study was to investigate the diagnostic and prognostic value of circulating endothelial cell (CEC), a potential surrogate of tumor angiogenesis, in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). METHODS:We prospectively evaluated CEC count in 4.0 mL of peripheral blood sampled from patients with a suspicion of MPM. An automated system was used to capture CECs with an anti-CD146 antibody. RESULTS:Of 109 eligible patients, 30 were finally diagnosed with non-malignant diseases, and 79 were with MPM. CEC count was significantly higher in MPM patients than in NM patients (mean CEC count, 120.3 and 39.9, respectively; P = 0.001), and a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that CEC provided a significant diagnostic performance in discrimination between MPM and nonmalignant diseases with an area under curve (AUC-ROC) of 0.700 (95 % confidence interval [95 % CI], 0.595-0.806; P = 0.001). Among MPM patients, CEC count was positively correlated with intratumoral microvessel density (MVD), a measurement of tumor angiogenesis (Spearman correlation coefficiency [r] = 0.444; P = 0.001). Higher CEC count (>50) was significantly associated with a poor prognosis (median overall survival, 11.4 months [95 % CI, 7.6-15.2] for higher CEC count patients versus 20.1 months [95 % CI, 16.0-24.2] for lower CEC count patients; P = 0.028). A multivariate analysis showed that higher CEC count was a significant and independent factor to predict a poor prognosis (hazard ratio [HR], 2.24, [95 % CI, 1.24-4.43]; P = 0.009). CONCLUSIONS:CEC, as a surrogate of tumor angiogenesis, was a promising marker in diagnosis and prediction of prognosis in MPM.
