1 Americn Joint Committee on Cncer Stging nd Clinicopthologicl High-Risk Predictors of Oculr Surfce Squmous Neoplsi A Study From Tertiry Eye Center in Indi Sheetl Chuhn, MSc; Seem Sen, MD; Anjn Shrm, PhD; Rdhik Tndon, MD; Seem Kshyp, MD; Neelm Pushker, MD; Murugesn Vnthi, MD; Nmrt Shrm, MD Context. Oculr surfce squmous neoplsi (OSSN) is the most common tumor of conjunctivl epithelium ssocited with risk of permnent visul impirment. It includes conjunctivl intrepithelil neoplsi nd squmous cell crcinom. Although Americn Joint Committee on Cncer TNM (AJCC-TNM) stging is commonly used in vrious tumors, it hs only recently been described for OSSN. Objectives. To evlute the prognostic relevnce of AJCC-TNM stging nd the clinicopthologicl fetures in OSSN. Design. Sixty-four histopthologiclly proven cses of OSSN (20 conjunctivl intrepithelil neoplsi nd 44 squmous cell crcinom) were included in the study. The AJCC-TNM stging nd clinicopthologicl fetures of OSSN cses were recorded. Ptients were followed up for 17 to 40 months (medin, 32 months). Univrite nd multivrite nlyses were performed to determine the prognostic vlue of vrious clinicopthologicl fetures. Results. Longer sunlight exposure (P ¼.01), diffuse growth pttern (P ¼.02), lrger tumor size (2 cm) (P ¼.03), histopthologicl dignosis of squmous cell crcinom (P ¼.02), nd orbitl invsion or invsion of djcent structures (T3 or T4) (P,.001) emerged s significnt predictors of reduced recurrence-free survivl. Using multivrite nlysis, higher T ctegory (T3 or T4) ws the most importnt prognostic indictor of poor outcome. Conclusions. A higher T ctegory (T3 or T4) is n importnt predictor of clinicl outcome, nd the use of the AJCC-TNM stging system is recommended in the mngement of ll ptients with OSSN. Longer sunlight exposure, lrger tumor size (2 cm), orbitl invsion or invsion of djcent structures (T3 or T4), nd histopthologicl dignosis of squmous cell crcinom re other clinicopthologicl fetures of prognostic relevnce in ptients with OSSN. (Arch Pthol Lb Med. 2014;138: ; doi: /rp OA) Oculr surfce squmous neoplsi (OSSN) is the most common tumor of the oculr surfce, with n estimted incidence of 0.02 to 3.5 cses per worldwide. 1 It represents spectrum of lesions tht rnges from conjunctivl intrepithelil neoplsi (CIN) to invsive squmous cell crcinom (SCC), involving the conjunctiv nd cornel epithelium. 2 Oculr surfce squmous neoplsi Accepted for publiction Jnury 8, From the Deprtment of Oculr Pthology (Ms Chuhn nd Drs Sen nd Kshyp), Deprtment of Oculr Microbiology (Dr A.

Most of the ptients belonged to T2N0M0 or T4N0M0 ctegory. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ptients Sixty-four ptients with OSSN (20 CIN nd 44 SCC) were enrolled in the present study from 2009 to Informed consent ws obtined from the ptients. The study ws pproved by the Institute Ethics Committee, All Indi Institute of Medicl Sciences, New Delhi (IESC/T-95/ &RT-24/ ). Clinicl Fetures Clinicl dt on the ptients were recorded, including ge, sex, lterlity, history of oculr trum, durtion of sunlight exposure, geneticlly predisposed stte, tumor loction, nd type of lesion. All of the ptients were clssified on the bsis of their socioeconomic sttus using the Socioeconomic Sttus Scle by Kuppuswmy. 12 A history of prolonged sun exposure ws determined by self-reported history nd by the occuption of the ptient. The AJCC-TNM clssifiction of conjunctivl crcinom ws used to stge ll cses of OSSN. 13 Ptients with orbitl invsion or invsion of djcent structures were ssigned to higher T ctegory (T3 or T4). Histopthologicl Fetures Gross exmintion of the excised tumor ws performed, including mesurement of the lrgest tumor dimeter. Hemtoxylin-eosin stined sections were exmined to confirm the dignosis of OSSN (CIN or SCC). Sebceous crcinom cses were excluded bsed on light microscopic fetures. The CIN cses were further clssified s mild, moderte, severe dysplsi, or crcinom in situ bsed on the extent of epithelil involvement. Invsion ws ruled out by obtining 3 to 5 seril sections (depending on the size of lesion). The SCC cses were ctegorized s well differentited or s poorly differentited depending on the extent of kertiniztion. 14 The presence of orbitl invsion or invsion of djcent structures ws determined, s well s the extent of srcomtoid differentition. Sttisticl Anlysis All sttisticl nlyses were performed using the SPSS 18.0 sttisticl pckge (SPSS, Inc, Chicgo, Illinois). The ssocitions of clinicopthologicl fetures with T ctegory nd metstsis were exmined using contingency tbles, which were further nlyzed using the v 2 test. Survivl probbility (recurrence-free survivl for OSSN nd disese-free survivl for SCC) ws clculted using the Kpln-Meier method. Univrite nlysis with the Cox proportionl hzrds model ws performed to determine every identified prognostic fctor; multivrite nlysis with the Cox proportionl hzrds model ws used to explore combined effects. A difference of P,.05 ws considered sttisticlly significnt. RESULTS Clinicl Fetures The TNM clssifiction ws T2N0M0 in 38 ptients nd T4N0M0 in 12 ptients (Tble 1).

These results re summrized in Tble 4. Correltion of Clinicopthologicl Fetures With Recurrence-Free Survivl nd Prognosis Risk of recurrent disese ws greter in ptients with diffuse growth pttern (hzrd rtio [HR], 0.34; P ¼.02), longer sunlight exposure (HR, 3.4; P ¼.01), lrger tumor size of t lest 2 cm (HR, 2.4; P ¼.03), nd higher T ctegory of T3 or T4 (HR, 2.9; P,.001) (Figure 2). In n nlysis compring the 2 histopthologicl groups (CIN nd SCC), dignosis of SCC ws predictor of shorter survivl (HR, 0.22; P ¼.01). On univrite nlysis (Cox proportionl hzrds model), dignosis of SCC nd higher T ctegory (T3 or T4) were significntly ssocited with poor prognosis (Tble 5). On multivrite nlysis, higher T ctegory (T3 or T4) hd n independent prognostic effect on the survivl of ptients with OSSN (Tble 6). COMMENT Oculr surfce squmous neoplsi is common lesion in Indi, s in other prts of the world. The pthogenesis of OSSN is multifctoril. Ultrviolet rdition is known mjor risk fctor for the development of dysplstic nd neoplstic chnges in cornel nd conjunctivl epithelium. Cse-control studies hve demonstrted tht the incidence of the tumor increses with higher levels of mbient solr rdition. Our results hve shown direct reltionship between excessive sunlight exposure nd reduced recurrence-free survivl in ptients with OSSN. Humn ppillomvirus nd humn immunodeficiency virus hve lso been cited s possible cofctors in OSSN tht my influence the prognosis. 3,18 20 Recurrence developed in 17% of 48 ptients herein with follow-up dt, which is similr to tht in other studies (17% 41%). 1,7 Lrger tumors (2 cm) nd those with diffuse growth pttern hd higher risk of recurrence. Erlier studies 6,11 hve lso indicted n incresed risk of recurrence in ptients with lrger tumor dimeter nd diffuse growth pttern. A histopthologicl dignosis of SCC nd n AJCC-TNM ctegory of T3 or T4 (infiltrtion of the orbit nd introculr structures) were ssocited with significntly incresed risk of recurrence.

Recurrence-free survivl ws worse in ptients with diffuse growth pttern (P ¼.02) (A), longer sunlight exposure (P ¼.01) (B), lrger tumor dimeter (2 cm) (P ¼.03) (C), higher T ctegory (T3 or T4) (P,.001) (D), nd histopthologicl dignosis of squmous cell crcinom (SCC) compred with conjunctivl intrepithelil neoplsi (P ¼.02) (E). Finger 10 hve lso reported tht tumors with n dvnced AJCC-TNM T ctegory, loclly invsive tumors, nd more pthologiclly ggressive tumors hve higher risk of recurrence. The incidence of orbitl invsion nd invsion of djcent structures hs been reported to rnge from 2% to 15% in OSSN cses. However, we found very high incidence of orbitl invsion or invsion of djcent structures (50%) Tble 5.

7 mong 44 SCC cses. 4,5,6 Cornel nd sclerl invsion ws observed in 25% of ptients in the present study, which is similr to the 30% incidence reported in other studies. 2,9 Although OSSN is considered low-grde mlignncy, 18% of 34 ptients with SCC in our study developed metstsis, nd 12% died of their disese. This is higher thn erlier reports of metstsis (0% 16%) nd deth (0% 8%). 4 6,21 While older men (72%) nd ptients with limbl tumor loction (55%) represented the most common clinicl presenttions of OSSN in the present study, younger ptients nd those with trsl tumor loction hd higher rtes of metstsis nd deth. These ptients with younger ge group nd trsl tumor loction hd lrger tumors (61%) nd poor histopthologicl differentition of their lesions (58%). Histories of prolonged sunlight exposure nd oculr trum hve been suggested s possible risk fctors for OSSN. 22 Ptients with such histories in our study hd n incresed risk of metstsis nd deth. Other high-risk fetures included diffuse growth pttern cliniclly, higher T ctegory (T3 or T4), lrge tumor size (2 cm), nd poorly differentited SCC. To our knowledge, this is the first study tht hs correlted the risk of metstsis or deth with clinicopthologicl fetures in ptients with OSSN. Our study hs shown tht longer sunlight exposure, diffuse growth pttern, lrger tumor size (2 cm), orbitl invsion or invsion of djcent structures (T3 or T4), nd histopthologicl dignosis of SCC re importnt predictors of recurrence in ptients with OSSN or metstsis nd of deth in ptients with SCC. In ddition, younger ptients nd those with trsl tumor loction hve higher risk of metstsis nd deth. Bsed on multivrite nlysis of ll the bove fetures, higher AJCC-TNM T ctegory is the most importnt prognostic indictor of poor outcome. Therefore, the AJCC-TNM stging system is useful nd relible djunct in the mngement of ptients with OSSN. Ms Chuhn is supported by senior reserch fellowship from the Indin Council of Medicl Reserch.
