    Abstract: Improved detection methods for diagnosis of asymptomatic malignant mesothelioma (MM) are essential for an early and reliable detection and treatment of this type of neoplastic disease. Thus, focus has been on finding tumor markers in the blood that can be used for noninvasive detection of MM. Ninety-four asbestos-exposed subjects defined at high risk, 22 patients with MM, and 54 healthy subjects were recruited for evaluation of the clinical significance of 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8OHdG) in WBCs and plasma concentrations of soluble mesothelin-related peptides (SMRPs), angiogenic factors [platelet-derived growth factor β, hepatocyte growth factor, basic fibroblast growth factor, and vascular endothelial growth factor β (VEGFβ)], and matrix proteases [matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 2, MMP9, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP) 1, and TIMP2] for potential early detection of MM. The area under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves indicate that 8OHdG levels can discriminate asbestos-exposed subjects from healthy controls but not from MM patients. Significant area under ROC curve values were found for SMRPs, discriminating asbestos-exposed subjects from MM patients but not from healthy controls. Except for platelet-derived growth factor β, the hepatocyte growth factor, basic fibroblast growth factor, and VEGFβ can significantly differentiate high-risk individuals from healthy control and cancer groups. No diagnostic value was observed for MMP2, MMP9, TIMP1, and TIMP2. In addition to the diagnostic performance defined by the ROC analysis, the sensitivity and specificity results of markers with clinical significance were calculated at defined cutoffs. The combination of 8OHdG, VEGFβ, and SMRPs best distinguished the individual groups, suggesting a potential indicator of early and advanced MM cancers. The combination of blood biomarkers and radiographic findings could be used to stratify the risk of mesothelioma in asbestos-exposed populations. (Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 2008;17(1):163–70)

    Abstract: Purpose: To analyze the impact of TP53 mutations on response to first-line tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) in patients with EGFR-mutated non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Experimental Design: 136 EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients receiving first-line TKIs were analyzed. TP53 mutations were evaluated in 123 patients in relation to disease control rate (DCR), objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Results: TP53 mutations were observed in 37 (30.1%), 10 (27.0%), 6 (16.2%), 9 (24.3%), and 12 (32.4%) patients in exons 5, 6, 7, and 8, respectively. DCR was 70% in TP53-mutated patients compared with 88% in TP53-wild type (wt) patients [relative risk, RR, of disease progression: 3.17 (95% CI, 1.21–8.48), P = 0.019]. In particular, a 42% DCR was observed in patients with TP53 exon 8 mutation versus 87% in exon 8 wt patients [RR of disease progression 9.6 (2.71–36.63), P & lt; 0.001]. Shorter median PFS and OS were observed in patients with TP53 exon 8 mutations compared with others (4.2 vs. 12.5, P = 0.058, and 16.2 vs. 32.3, P = 0.114, respectively); these differences became significant in the subgroup with EGFR exon 19 deletion (4.2 vs. 16.8, P & lt; 0.001, and 7.6 vs. not reached, P = 0.006, respectively), HR 6.99 (95% CI, 2.34–20.87, P & lt; 0.001) and HR 4.75 (95% CI, 1.38–16.29, P = 0.013), respectively. Conclusions: TP53 mutations, especially exon 8 mutations, reduce responsiveness to TKIs and worsen prognosis in EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients, mainly those carrying exon 19 deletions.
