Popis: Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are thought to be “metastatic intermediates”. Recently, we reported encouraging survival rates following neoadjuvant therapy using gemcitabine (Gem) and S-1 concurrently with radiotherapy (NACRT) in patients (pts) with resectable pancreatic cancer (PC). However, NACRT may have disadvantages. We hypothesized that NACRT in PC may induce epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), which is associated with metastasis followed by the increase of CTCs. To extend our assessment of EMT during NACRT, we investigate the results of the v-hCTC detection in the pts treated with NACRT. This study was a single institution trial, approved by the Kure Medical Center IRB. Pts with resectable cytologically or histologically proven ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreas were enrolled. Treatment consisted of an intervenous infusion of Gem 800 mg/m2 on day 1, 8, 22, and 29; and S-1 80 mg/m2 orally on day 1-5, 8-12, 22-26, and 29-33 given concurrently with IMRT to 60 Gy (2 Gy/day, 5 times per week, 30 fractions). Surgical exploration was scheduled 4-7 weeks after the final radiation fraction. To detect v-hCTCs, we employed a telomerase-specific replication-selective adenovirous expressing GFP (TelomeScan F35). 7.5 ml of blood samples were obtained from the pts included in this clinical study before NACRT, after 1 month of NACRT, and after 2 months of surgical resection. To distinguish between leucocyte and cells with epithelial origin, cells were stained with anti-CD45 and anti-Cytokeratin Abs. To distinguish cells with mesenchymal origin, cells were labeled with anti-Vimentin Ab. GFP-positive and CD45-negative cells were counted as v-hCTC. 12 pts aged 44-77 years (2 males and 10 females) were enrolled. No treatment-related deaths occurred.
