LCS Study Update: Survival OutcomesRebecca Suk Heist, MD MPH
Lung Cancer Susceptibility (LCS) Study
• Case-control study of lung cancer susceptibility at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH)
• Enrolling patients and controls since 1992
• MGH thoracic oncology and thoracic surgery units
• Blood samples and tumor tissue collected at time of recruitment
• Questionnaires for smoking, environmental exposures, diet
• Informed consent obtained, including for follow-up data collection and contact
Lung Cancer Survival by Clinical Stage
Chest 1997; 111: 1710-7
Survival Study: Case Ascertainment in LCS
• Early Stage (I – II)– 12/92 – 12/01
– Treated with surgical resection at MGH
• Late Stage (IIIA – IV)– 12/92 – 7/04
– Received treatment at MGH
– Initially focused on platinum-treated -> expanded to all
• No other malignancy (other than non-melanoma skin cancer) in the previous five years prior to lung cancer diagnosis
Clinical Outcomes in LCS
• Clinical data extraction– TNM Stage– Treatment
• Type of surgery• Radiation• Chemotherapy
• Survival outcomes – Date of death or last known date alive
• MGH tumor registry, SSDI, NDI, patient’s physician or family
– Date of progression or last known date without progression
• Toxicity outcomes

Investigating Prognostic and Predictive Factors
• Stage I and II surgically resected– Currently no adjuvant treatment, but will include with
more current updates
• Stage III and IV – Chemotherapy
– +/- Radiation
– +/- Surgery
Potential Prognostic and Predictive Factors
• Genetic polymorphisms
– DNA repair
– MMP
– MDM2
• Environmental and Dietary Exposures
– Smoking
– Vitamin D
Role of DNA repair in lung cancer outcomes?
Defective DNA Repair
Genetic mutations accumulate
More aggressive tumor
Worse survival
DNA damage from platinum cannot be
repaired as efficently
Better response
Better survival
DNA repair expression and survival
• Platinum-treated advanced stage:
– Increased DNA repair expression has been associated with resistance to platinum chemotherapy and worse survival in multiple cancers
• Early stage:
– Increased DNA repair expression in tumor associated with better survival
DNA Repair Polymorphisms and Survival
• Stage IIIA, IIIB, IV
• Platinum-treated, histologically defined NSCLC
– carboplatin/taxane
– cisplatin/vinca
– cisplatin/etoposide
– other combinations
• 60% also received radiation

DNA Repair and Clinical Outcomes
• Looked separately at – early stage – no chemotherapy or radiation
– late stage – treated with chemotherapy and/or radiation
• Direction of effect of DNA repair polymorphisms opposite in early and late stages
• DNA repair polymorphisms may have different roles in tumor behavior and response to chemotherapy
• Consistent with findings from mRNA and IHC analysis
Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs)
• Proteolytic enzymes that degrade extracellular matrix and facilitate invasion through the basement membrane
– Remodeling and degrading extracellular matrix
– Angiogenesis
– Mediating cell-cell adhesions
• Elevated levels of MMPs have been associated with worse survival in NSCLC
Polymorphisms in MMP-1,-3,-12 with potential function
MMP-1 -1607 1G/2G (rs1799750)
2G higher transcriptional activity
MMP-3 -1612 5A/6A (rs3025058)
5A higher transcriptional activity

Polymorphism in MDM2
• T->G at position 309 in promoter area
• Increase binding affinity of Sp1 transcription factor
• G/G associated with higher MDM2 mRNA and protein levels, and inactivation of p53 pathway
• Hypothesis: G/G genotype worse survival

Vitamin D Metabolism
Vitamin D and Cancer
• Epidemiologic studies have linked season and geographic latitude with incidence and mortality from a variety of cancers
• Anti-proliferative effects – Induction of G0/G1 cell cycle arrest
• VDR knock-out mice develop more tumors when exposed to carcinogens
• In a mouse model, metastatic spread of Lewis lung carcinoma cells inhibited by higher serum 1,25(OH)2D

Summary
• Detailed dataset of clinical information and survival outcomes in NSCLC patients
• Platform for investigating prognostic/predictive markers
• Candidate SNPs
• Dietary/environmental factors
Future Directions
• Pathway based approach rather than one candidate gene– DNA repair– Inflammation– Angiogenesis– Hormonal– Cell cycle/apoptosis
• Haplotype tagging SNPs
• Correlation with tumor tissue levels
• Tumor genomics
