Correlation and Heterogeneity of the Immune Microenvironment and Histopathological Growth Patterns in Resectable Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastases
Studie Overzicht
Toestand
Actief, niet wervend
Conditie
Gedetailleerde beschrijving
This study aims to retrospectively analyze the status and spatial heterogeneity of the tumor microenvironment (TME) in liver metastases from patients with CRLM, as well as the association between HGPs at the tumor-liver interface and postoperative recurrence following resection of liver metastases.
Furthermore, this study seeks to explore the underlying mechanisms through which HGPs influence patient prognosis.

patients with CRLM who underwent R0 resection
According to the 2017 guidelines on histopathological growth patterns of liver metastases, HGPs are primarily classified into three types: the desmoplastic histopathological growth pattern (dHGP), the replacement histopathological growth pattern (rHGP), and the pushing histopathological growth pattern (pHGP).
The tumor-liver interface was independently delineated by two pathologists using QuPath software, and distinct HGPs at the tumor-liver interface were identified.
Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) sections of colorectal cancer liver metastases were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E).Multiplex immunohistochemistry (mIHC) staining was performed on FFPE sections of liver metastases using two panels (Panel 1: CD4, CD8A, Foxp3, PD-L1, Panck; Panel 2: CD68, CD163, FAP-α, α-SMA, Panck), encompassing a total of nine immune cell markers.

TME (Tumor Microenvironment)
Tijdsspanne: From the completion of mIHC staining to the failure of staining or the damage and loss of the slides, the assessment period can be up to 100 months.

Multiplex immunohistochemistry (mIHC) staining was performed on FFPE sections of liver metastases using two panels (Panel 1: CD4, CD8A, Foxp3, PD-L1, Panck; Panel 2: CD68, CD163, FAP-α, α-SMA, Panck), encompassing a total of nine immune cell markers.
Using QuPath pathology imaging software, tissue sections were divided into the tumor center (defined as regions >500 μm from the liver-tumor interface) and the invasive tumor front (defined as a 1 mm region extending 500 μm on either side of the liver-tumor interface).
Quantitative analysis of immune cell populations was performed in the tumor center, the invasive tumor front, and regions corresponding to different histopathological growth patterns.

Beschrijving IPD-plan
First of all, there is a lack of sufficient funds or personnel to anonymize and maintain the data for a long time, such as the original imaging documents, which are difficult to organize compliance.
Second, this study was an early exploratory study with small data size and high risk of identification.
Finally, summary results are available after publication, and the data will be reassessed 5 years after the end of the study.

Statistisch analyseplan
Informatie-ID: qiumeng@wchscu.cnInformatie opmerkingen: Survival analysis was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared using the log-rank test. Quantitative data regarding the immune microenvironment were compared using the t-test or the Mann-Whitney U test, as appropriate. Changes between initial resection and secondary resection were analyzed using the nonparametric test for two paired samples. The endpoints of this study included patient clinical outcomes (OS and PFS), spatial distribution differences of immune cells within TME of liver metastases, distribution patterns of HGPs and their correlation with survival, and analysis of the immune microenvironment in relation to HGPs.
