Accurate disease prognosis is essential in establishing personalized treatment decisions; yet optimum tools for precise risk stratification remain a competing task. In the present study, we have performed the complete evaluation of TP63 clinical significance in improving disease prognosis. METHODS: The levels of DeltaNp63 and TAp63 transcripts of TP63 were quantified in 342 bladder tissue specimens of our screening cohort (n = 182). Hedegaard et al. (Cancer Cell 30:27-42. doi:10.1016/j.ccell.2016.05.004, 2016) (n = 476) and TCGA provisional (n = 413) were used as validation cohorts for NMIBC and MIBC, respectively. Survival analysis was performed using recurrence and progression for NMIBC or mortality for MIBC as endpoint events. Bootstrap analysis was performed for internal validation, while decision curve analysis was used for the evaluation of the clinical net benefit on disease prognosis. RESULTS: DeltaNp63 was significantly expressed in bladder tissues, and was found to be over-expressed in bladder tumors. Interestingly, reduced DeltaNp63 levels were correlated with muscle-invasive disease, high-grade tumors and high-EORTC-risk NMIBC patients. Moreover, DeltaNp63 loss was independently associated with higher risk for NMIBC relapse (HR = 2.730; p = 0.007) and progression (HR = 7.757; p = 0.016). Hedegaard et al. and TCGA validation cohorts confirmed our findings. Finally, multivariate models combining DeltaNup63 loss with established prognostic markers led to a superior clinical benefit for NMIBC prognosis and risk stratification. CONCLUSIONS: DeltaNup63 loss is associated with adverse outcome of NMIBC resulting in superior prediction of NMIBC early relapse and progression.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">31595333</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Papadimitriou, Maria-AlexandraAvgeris, MargaritisLevis, Panagiotis KTokas, TheodorosStravodimos, KonstantinosScorilas, AndreasengGermany2019/10/09 06:00J Cancer Res Clin Oncol. 2019 Dec;145(12):3075-3087. doi: 10.1007/s00432-019-03028-5.
