RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Prognosis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) differs within the same stage and grade. Our aim was to investigate the incidence of COX-2 in primary RCC tumors at different stages according to the occurrence of metastasis, and the impact of this biomarker on the survival of RCC patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The cytoplasmic/membranous COX-2 protein expression was examined by immunohistochemistry in RCC tumors from 102 patients. The patients were divided into those with: no metastasis during 7.5 years' follow-up (nm), no metastasis at the time of nephrectomy but who later developed metastases (lm), and those with metastasis at presentation (pm). The immunoreactivity of COX-2 was classified as none (absent/weak intensity in fewer than 10% of the cancer cells), low (weak intensity in over 10% of the cancer cells) or high immunostaining (strong intensity in the majority of the cancer cells). In addition p53 and Ki-67 immunostaining was also assessed in tumors. RESULTS: Percentages of COX-2 reaction were (no/low/high): 78/16/7 in the nm, 53/28/19 in the lm, 92/8/0 in the pm groups (p=0.014). Median metastasis-free survival was shorter in lm patients with COX-2-negative tumors when compared to those with COX-2-positive ones (15 vs. 46 months; p=0.020). Median overall survival was shorter in pm/lm patients with COX-2-negative tumors when compared to those with COX-2-positive ones (28 vs. 94 months; p=0.027), and with COX-2-negative/Ki-67-positive tumors when compared to COX-2-positive/Ki-67-negative ones (19 vs. 97 months; p=0.004). Findings for patients with COX-2-negative/p53-positive tumors were similar, with shorter survival compared to those with COX-2-positive/p53-negative ones (19 vs. 97; p=0.006). CONCLUSION: COX-2 protein expression is associated with slow development of metastases, and favourable prognosis in metastatic RCC.
