OBJECTIVE: The study aimed to evaluate the role of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) as a prognostic biomarker of tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC).
STUDY DESIGN: CTC levels in the peripheral blood of 50 patients with TSCC at baseline (i.e., before treatment) and of 8 healthy donors were determined using the NanoVelcro system. The relationship between CTC levels and clinicopathologic parameters and clinical outcomes such as recurrence, metastasis, and death during follow-up (mean 17 months) was analyzed.
RESULTS: CTCs levels were closely correlated with TSCC clinical staging (P = .002), N staging (P = .007), and progression status (P = .002) in TSCC patients. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis revealed that the count of CTC ≥4 (area under curve: 0.832 [95% confidence interval 0.695-0.950]; sensitivity: 0.83; specificity: 0.75; P < .001) was a better prognostic marker than TNM stage (area under curve: 0.692 [0.536-0.848]; sensitivity: 0.83; specificity: 0.55; P = .023). In addition, univariate and multivariate analysis showed that the CTC was an important and independent predictive factor for overall survival and disease-free survival (P < .001).
CONCLUSIONS: CTC was an independent prognostic indicator in patients with TSCC. CTC may be used as an auxiliary parameter to predict the prognosis of TSCC.
