Prognostic Importance of Ki-67 Expression in Early-Stage Glottic Larynx Cancer Treated with Radiotherapy
Öz
Objective: The prognostic importance of Ki-67 expression in early-stage glottic larynx cancer is controversial. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the prognostic importance of Ki-67 expression in early-stage glottic cancer treated with curative radiotherapy at a single centre.
Material and Method: Between 2010 and 2021, patients with T1a/bN0 stage glottic larynx cancer treated with curative radiotherapy were identified. The cases included in this study were re-evaluated by a single pathologist retrospectively. According to the ROC curve, the optimal cut-off value was 35% for Ki-67. Above these cut-off points were accepted as high expression levels (Ki-67-high), while below these points were accepted as low expression levels (Ki-67-low).
Results: A total of 49 patients with early-stage glottic larynx cancer treated with definitive radiotherapy were included. The median follow-up time was 35.74 (range; 7.03-161.65) months. The median OS was 95.4 (range; 62.1-128.8) months. According to univariate analysis, tumour grade (p=0.006) and Ki-67 expression level (low vs high; p=0.039) were the prognostic factors that predict OS. The median DFS was 42.1 (range; 32.8-51.3) months. According to univariate analyses, tumour grade (p=0.008) and Ki-67 expression level (low vs high; p=0.007) were the prognostic factors that predict DFS.
Conclusion: Higher Ki-67 expression was associated with lower OS and DFS. Ki-67 expression level can be used as a biomarker to determine treatment choice in these patients. Additional prospective studies with more patients are needed to confirm our results.

Küratif Radyoterapi ile Tedavi Edilmiş Erken Evre Glottik Larinks Kanserinde Ki-67'nin Prognostik Önemi
Öz
Amaç: Erken evre glottik larinks kanserinde Ki-67 ekspresyonunun prognostik önemi halen tartışmalıdır. Bu çalışmada küratif radyoterapi ile tedavi edilmiş erken evre glottik larinks kanserde Ki-67 ekspresyonunun prognostik önemini değerlendirmek amaçlanmıştır.
Metod: 2010-2021 yılları arasında kliniğimizde küratif radyoterapi ile tedavi edilmiş T1a/bN0 hastalar tespit edildikten sonra olgular geriye dönük olarak tek bir patolog tarafından Ki-67 ekspresyonu açısından yeniden değerlendirilmiştir. ROC eğrisine göre Ki-67 için optimal cut-off değeri %35 tespit edilmesi nedeniyle bu eşik noktasının üstü yüksek ekspresyon (Ki-67-yüksek), altı ise düşük ekspresyon (Ki-67-düşük) olarak kabul edilmiştir.
Bulgular: Küratif radyoterapi ile tedavi edilmiş toplam 49 hasta analize dahil edildi. Ortanca takip süresi 35,74 (7,03-161,65) ay idi. Ortanca genel sağkalım süresi (GS) 95,4 (62,1-128,8) ay idi. Tek değişkenli analize göre, tümör gradı (p=0.006) ve Ki-67 ekspresyon düzeyi (p=0.039) GS’yi öngören anlamlı prognostik faktörler olarak saptandı. Ortanca hastalıksız sağkalım süresi (HSS) 42,1 (32,8-51,3) ay idi. Tek değişkenli analizlere göre, tümör gradı (p=0.008) ve Ki-67 ekspresyon düzeyi (p=0.007), HSS’yi öngören anlamlı prognostik faktörler olarak bulundu.
Sonuç: Ki-67 ekspresyonu sağkalımı öngörebilecek prognostik bir belirteç olarak bulunmuş olup yüksek ekspresyon düzeyi daha düşük GS ve HSS ile ilişkilendirilmiştir. Ki-67 ekspresyon seviyesi, bu hastalarda tedavi seçimini belirlemek için bir biyobelirteç olarak kullanılabilir. Sonuçlarımızı doğrulamak için daha fazla hasta ile ek prospektif çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.
