Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: We sought to explore the expression of mismatch repair (MMR) status and its correlation with clinicopathologic and survival characteristics in ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC).
METHODS: Expression of four MMR proteins (MLH1, PMS, MSH2, and MSH6) were measured using tissue microarray-based immunohistochemistry in 120 OCCC patients. The associations of clinicopathologic parameters with recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method, and multivariate analysis was further performed by the Cox regression model.
RESULTS: Overall, 120 OCCC patients met the entry criteria, and their MMR status was detected, consisting of 24 patients with dMMR and 96 patients with proficient MMR (pMMR). Patients with dMMR were strongly associated with platinum-sensitive disease (P = .006) and large tumor volume (P = .038). Among all the patients who have received surgery, tumors with dMMR had a better RFS and OS than those with pMMR (hazard ratio [HR] for recurrence: 0.459 [95% confidence interval {95% CI} = 0.224-0.940], P = .029; HR for death: 0.381 [95% CI = 0.170-0.853], P = .015). In subgroup analysis, dMMR patients experienced a better trend of RFS (HR = 0.273; P = .055) and OS (HR = 0.165; P = .040) than pMMR cases among early stages (I-II), but this difference was not observed in advanced stage (III-IV) patients. Meanwhile, pMMR was associated with a more favorable trend of prognosis than dMMR in platinum-resistant patients (RFS: HR = 0.317, P = .051; OS: HR = 0.370, P = .046). Multivariate analysis revealed that only advanced stages (III-IV) were adverse independent prognosticators for both RFS (HR = 5.938 [95% CI = 2.804-12.574]; P < .001) and OS (HR = 6.209 [95% CI = 2.724-14.156]; P < .001).
CONCLUSIONS: Tumors with dMMR were related to better OS in OCCC on univariate analysis. Only the tumor stage was an independent prognosticator for both RFS and OS. MMR status is a potentially valuable prognostic index in OCCC patients, and larger prospective studies are required to validate its prognostic role.
