BACKGROUND/AIM: Allostatic load (AL) is a measure of chronic stress that is associated with worse cancer outcomes. The purpose of this retrospective cohort study was to investigate the relationship between AL and uveal melanoma (UM) clinical features.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: AL score was calculated as a composite of ten biomarkers in 111 patients with UM from the University of Illinois Hospital. One point was assigned to an AL score for each biomarker based on predetermined cutoff values. Linear and logistic regression analyses evaluated the relationship between AL score and several tumor clinical characteristics.
RESULTS: High AL score had a significant relationship with extraocular extension (p=0.015). There was also a significant difference in mean blood glucose levels between the different tumor size groups (p=0.029). Higher AL scores also had a trend of being associated with a smaller tumor size (p=0.069).
CONCLUSION: AL score was significantly associated with the presence of extraocular extension for uveal melanoma, while the smallest tumor size group was associated with the highest blood glucose level. No other significant correlations were found between AL and other clinical features of UM. The relationship between AL score and extraocular extension warrants further investigation. Additional research is needed to evaluate socioeconomic factors and their effect on the relationship between chronic stress and the clinical features of UM.
