Abstract:
Non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is a heterogeneous disease which has an unpredictable risk of progression to muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). The selection of patients who may benefit from early radical intervention is a challenge. To define the useful prognostic markers for progression, we analyzed the immunohistochemical expression of fatty acid synthase (FASN), Her2/neu, and E2F1 in 60 cases of NMIBC who underwent TURBT and adjuvant intravesical bacillus-Calmette-Guérin (BCG). Their predicting role for tumor recurrence, progression, recurrence-free survival (RFS) and progression-free survival (PFS) was analyzed. High FASN expression was observed in 56.7% (34/60) of NMIBC cases, and FASN expression was significantly associated with the tumor size, grade, and tumor stage (p=0.003, p < 0.001, p < 0.0001 respectively). Positive Her2/neu was noted in 18.3% (11/60) of the cases, and its expression was significantly associated with the tumor size, histologic grade, and tumor stage (p=0.001, p=0.002, p=0.011 respectively). High E2F1 expression was detected in 40% of the cases, and it was associated with tumor size, histologic grade, and tumor stage (p < 0.001 for each). Analysis of follow-up period revealed that NMIBC with high FASN, positive Her2/ neu, and high E2F1 expression exhibited a potent relation with tumor progression, shorter RFS, and poor PFS. Conclusions: High FASN, Her2/neu, and E2F1 are considered as adverse prognostic factors of tumor recurrence and progression in NMIBC and these patients should be followed carefully. Therefore, we suggest that FASN, Her2/neu, and E2F1 should be considered and evaluated during the selection of the appropriate management strategy for NMIBC patients.
