Outline of Final Research Achievements

Hypoxia is a common feature of cancer and thus is prognostic factor for many type of cancer. In this retrospective study, immunohistochemistry were performed for CD31 and HIF-1α on 40 OSCCspecimens. Each patient was evaluated by both FMISO-PET before surgery, and the tumor-muscle ratio (TMR) of FMISO-PET were measured. The association between CD31 and HIF1-αexpression and 18F-FMISO uptake(TMR ratio) in the tumor was analyzed statistically. 18F-FMISO uptake in the primary site of OSCC indicates a hypoxic environment with HIF-1α expression.CD31-positive vessel area was increased in the hypoxic tumor compared with that in a non-hypoxic tumor. The tumor vessel in the hypoxic tumor was morphologically more irregular and tortuous than that in the non-hypoxic tumor.We demonstrated a significant relationship between 18F-FMISO TMR and CD31 and HIF1-αexpression in OSCC. In the future, we will perform detailed research on the relationship
between tumor angiogenesis and 18F-FMISO uptake.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究において、FMISO-PET所見から腫瘍血管を「見える化」の一端を実現できたと考えている。個人個人の体内での腫瘍血管の状態を把握することが必要であると考える。
さらに、将来的には低酸素の状態と腫瘍血管の構造状態について実際の臨床に応用できるクライテリアを薬剤到達の観点から検討したい。今後は、北海道大学の口腔外科・口腔内科の口腔癌症例でretrospectiveに検証し、データを蓄積して、抗癌剤使用の有無、stage別での治療反応性、予後を(NC、PR、CR)を検討したい。将来的なクライテリアを構築できるように基礎的データを蓄積し、実際の臨床に応用したいと考えている。
