Outline of Final Research Achievements

Hormonal therapy reactivity in breast cancer is related to the expression of estrogen receptor (ER) and hypoxia. In patients with pre-treatment breast cancer stage, FDG accumulation in tumors (SUVmax) and FMISO accumulation (FMISO-TBR) were measured to examine the correlation between histopathological factors. ER measurement by non-invasive FES-PET has also been established.
In FMISO-TBR, significant correlation was observed in tumor diameter, nuclear grade, ER, PgR. Blood cytokines that were highly correlated with hypoxia was VEGF, IL-8, TGF1α. The association between hypoxic state and the decrease in estrogen receptor expression and neovascular growth was shown. FES-PET was considered to be capable of non-invasive ER measurements with good image quality.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

乳癌ではホルモン療法感受性がエストロゲン受容体(ER)発現と関連しており、低酸素状態が治療予後に関与していることが示された。本研究では治療前乳がん組織の慢性低酸素状態が病理組織学的関係因子と関連しており、ER陽性がんではER陰性がんと比較して低酸素状態が軽度で、またER陽性乳がんでは低酸素が強いと治療効果が低下することが示された。腫瘍の慢性低酸素解消により治療効果が向上する可能性が示された。また、ホルモン療法に重要なER評価がFES-PETで非侵襲的に可能と考えられた。転移病変の評価に役立つ可能性がある。
