摘要: 目的  研究治疗后叶酸受体阳性循环肿瘤细胞(folate receptor-positive circulating tumour cells,FR+-CTCs)对可切除Ⅲ期鳞癌患者新辅助化学药物治疗(以下简称化疗)联合免疫治疗疗效的预测价值。方法  收集首都医科大学附属北京胸科医院2021年6月至2023年6月入院可切除Ⅲ期鳞癌患者,经过2周期新辅助化疗联合免疫治疗,记录患者以下指标:①一般临床资料:年龄、性别、临床分期、肿瘤位置、治疗前后白细胞计数;②治疗前后肿瘤标志物——血清癌胚抗原(carcinoembryonic antigen,CEA)、细胞角蛋白19片段(cytokeratin 19 fragment,CYFRA 21-1)、鳞状上皮细胞癌抗原(squamous cell carcinoma antigen,SCC)、FR+-CTCs数据;③患者术后病理结果,根据术后病理结果将患者分为两组,肿瘤病灶在病理层面上残存肿瘤细胞占比≤10%(缓解组,E组),肿瘤病灶在病理层面上残存肿瘤细胞占比>10%(NE组),比较E组和NE组患者的一般临床资料,治疗前后白细胞计数、肿瘤标志物和FR+-CTCs水平,将组间比较差异有统计学意义的变量纳入二元 Logistic 回归分析,统计分析出可切除Ⅲ期鳞癌患者新辅助化疗联合免疫治疗疗效的影响因素,采用受试者工作特征(receiver operating characteristics, ROC)曲线分析FR+-CTCs对其的预测价值。结果  最终纳入24例患者,E组15例,NE组9例,两组患者一般临床资料、治疗前CEA、CYFRA 21-1、SCC、FR+-CTCs比较差异均无统计学意义(P >0.05),治疗后CEA、CYFRA 21-1、SCC差异无统计学意义 (P >0.05),E组治疗后FR+-CTCs显著低于NE组(P<0.05),二元Logistic回归分析显示,治疗后FR+-CTCs(OR=1.28,95% CI: 1.00~1.63,P=0.047)是新辅助化疗联合免疫治疗的影响因素,ROC分析显示,治疗后FR+-CTCs截点值为10.10,特异度0.87,灵敏度0.89,曲线下面积(area under the curve,AUC)0.837。结论  对可切除Ⅲ期鳞癌患者,治疗后FR+-CTCs低于10.10 FU/3 mL是预测新辅助化疗联合免疫治疗缓解效果的可靠指标。

Abstract: Objective  To investigate the predictive value of folate receptor-positive circulating tumor cells (FR+-CTCs) in determining the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy in patients with resectable stage Ⅲ squamous cell carcinoma. Methods  A total of patients diagnosed with resectable stage Ⅲ squamous cell carcinoma and admitted to Beijing Chest Hospital from June 2021 to June 2023 were included in this study. After receiving 2 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy, the following parameters were recorded: ① general clinical data including age, gender, clinical stage, tumor location,pre-and post-treatment white blood cell count; ② levels of tumor markers such as serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA 21-1), squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC), and FR+-CTCs before and after treatment; ③ postoperative pathological results, based on which the patients were divided into two groups: group E (<10% residual tumor cells) and NE group (>10% residual tumor cells). Binary Logistic regression analysis was performed using general clinical data, white blood cell count, tumor marker data, and FR+-CTCs data before and after treatment to statistically analyze factors influencing the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy in patients with resectable stage Ⅲ squamous cell carcinoma. The predictive value of FR+-CTCs was assessed using receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis. Results  A total of 24 patients were included in this study, with 15 patients in group E and 9 patients in the NE group. There were no significant differences observed between the two groups regarding general clinical data or pre-treatment levels of CEA, CYFRA 21-1, SCC or FR+-CTCs(P >0.05). Additionally,no statistically significant differences were found for CEA,CYFRA21-1,and SCC levels after treatment.FR+-CTCs in group E was significantly lower than that in group NE (P<0.05). Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that FR+-CTCs after treatment (OR=1.28, 95%CI: 1.00-1.63, P=0.047) was the influencing factor of neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy. ROC analysis showed that the cut-off value of FR+-CTCs after treatment was 10.10, with a specificity of 0.87, a sensitivity of 0.89, and an area under the curve of 0.837. Conclusion  For patients with resectable Ⅲ squamous cell carcinoma, FR+-CTCs after treatment lower than 10.10 FU/3 mL can predict the remission effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy.
