BACKGROUND: Metabolic factors and obesity may influence the development and progression of cancer. In this study, we examine their association with the risk of developing metastases of uveal melanoma.
METHODS: Data on metabolic factors, medications, serum leptin levels, tumour leptin receptor RNA expression and clinical outcomes were examined in three cohorts. HRs for metastasis and cumulative incidences of melanoma-related mortality were calculated, and the levels of tumour leptin receptor expression were compared with prognostic factors including BAP1 mutation, and tumour cell morphology.
RESULTS: Of 581 patients in the main cohort, 116 (20%) were obese and 7 (1 %) had metastatic disease at presentation. In univariate Cox regressions, tumour diameter, diabetes type II and use of insulin were associated with metastases, but patients with obesity had a lower risk. The beneficial prognostic implication of obesity was retained in multivariate regressions. In competing risk analyses, the incidence of melanoma-related mortality was significantly lower for patients with obesity. Serum leptin levels≥median were associated with a reduced risk for metastasis, independent of patient sex and cancer stage in a separate cohort (n=80). Similarly, in a third cohort (n=80), tumours with BAP1 mutation and epithelioid cells had higher leptin receptor RNA expression levels, which have a negative correlation with serum leptin levels.
CONCLUSION: Obesity and elevated serum leptin levels are associated with a lower risk for developing metastases and dying from uveal melanoma.
