Abstract

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is the second most common salivary gland malignancy and it has a high rate of recurrences and a poor long-term prognosis. Our aim was to assess the prognostic factors in ACC and study MYB-NFIB fusion and MYB protein expression in a large retrospective cohort of 135 patients with a median follow-up of 6.3 years. The 5- and 10-year local recurrence-free survival (RFS) rate of 94% and 78%, 5- and 10-year distant metastasis survival rate of 77% and 58%, and 5- and 10-year RFS of 66% and 44%. The following features were identified as adverse prognostic factors of RFS on univariate analysis: large tumor size, solid growth pattern, increased mitoses, positive margin, American Joint Committee on Cancer clinical staging, high-grade transformation, vascular invasion, nuclear atypia, open chromatin, prominent nucleoli, and tumor necrosis. However, on multivariate analysis, only increased mitoses (≥5/10 high-power fields), any solid growth pattern, and advanced American Joint Committee on Cancer TNM staging were independent adverse predictors for RFS. MYB immunoexpression and MYB-NFIB translocation were common findings in ACC, occurring in 72% and 59% of the tested ACCs, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of MYB immunohistochemistry in detecting MYB-NFIB fusion was relatively low at 78% sensitivity and 50% specificity. The high prevalence of alterations leading to high expression of the MYB transcription factor family suggests that targeted approaches developed to suppress the expression of these oncogenic transcription factors and/or the transcriptional activity of these proteins would be a rational therapeutic approach to investigate in ACC.

摘要

 腺样囊性癌(ACC)是涎腺第二常见的恶性肿瘤,复发率高、远期预后差。本研究旨在回顾性分析135例患者中MYB-NFIB基因融合和MYB蛋白的表达情况,并评估ACC的预后因素,本组患者中位随访时间为6.3年。5年和10年局部无瘤生存率(RFS)分别是94%和78%,5年和10年远处转移生存率分别是77%和58%,5年和10年RFS分别为66%和44%。单变量分析研究显示以下特征是RFS的预后不利因素:肿瘤较大、实性生长结构、核分裂增加、切缘阳性、AJCC分期、高级别转化、脉管侵犯、核异型性,染色质空淡、显著的核仁以及肿瘤性坏死。然而,多变量分析显示仅有核分裂增加(≥5个/10HPF)、任何的实性生长结构以及AJCC的TNM分期高是RFS预后不良的独立因素。MYB蛋白表达和MYB-NFIB易位常见于ACC中,发生率分别为72%和59%。MYB免疫组化在检测MYB-NFIB融合中的敏感性和特异性相对偏低,分别为78%和50%。这种融合基因的高频率发生,导致MYB转录因子家族的高表达,表明可通过靶向治疗方法来抑制这些致癌转录因子的表达和/或蛋白的转录活性,可能成为ACC的合理治疗方案。
