description | Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women worldwide. The current approaches still have limitations in predicting the therapy outcome of each individual because of cancer heterogeneity. The goal of this study was to establish a gene expression signature that could help when choosing the right therapeutic method for the treatment of advanced-stage cervical cancer. The 666 patients were collected from four independent datasets. The 70-gene expression signature was established using univariate Cox proportional hazard regression analysis. The 70-gene signature was significantly different between low- and high-risk groups in the training dataset (p = 4.24e−6) and in the combined three validation datasets (p = 4.37e−3). Treatment of advanced-stage cancer patients in the high-risk group with molecular-targeted therapy combined with chemoradiotherapy yielded a better survival rate than with only chemoradiotherapy (p = 0.0746). However, treatment of the patients in the low-risk group with the combined therapy resulted in significantly lower survival (p = 0.00283). Functional classification of 70 genes revealed involvement of the angiogenesis pathway, specifically phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase signaling (p = 0.040), extracellular matrix organization (p = 0.0452), and cell adhesion (p = 0.011). The 70-gene signature could predict the prognosis and indicate an optimal therapeutic modality in molecular-targeted therapy or chemotherapy for advanced-stage cervical cancer. |
