Hubungan Ekspresi Aldehide Dehidrogenase (ALDH) Terhadap Respon Terapi Radiasi Pada Pasien Karsinoma Sel Skuamosa Serviks Stadium IIIB = Association Aldehyde Dehydrogenase (ALDH) Expression and Radiotherapy Response in Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Cervix Stage IIIB.

Tujuan: Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan ALDH1 terhadap respon radiasi karsinoma sel skuamosa serviks stadium IIIB. Metode: Sebanyak 58 sampel dari 360 pasien yang didiagnosis karsinoma sel skuamosa serviks stadium IIIB yang mendapat radiasi lengkap periode 2016 – 2021 di RSCM memenuhi kriteria eligibilitas subjek penelitian ini. Pemeriksaan MRI pra-radiasi dan pasca radiasi serta ekspresi ALDH dengan imunohistokimiawi (Santa Cruz ® ) dilakukan pada 58 sampel blok paraffin. Respon terapi dinilai pada 3 bulan setelah radiasi. Kami membandingkan respon terapi komplet yang dihasilkan pada ekspresi ALDH rendah dan ekspresi ALDH tinggi. Analisis dilakukan dengan software SPSS. Hasil: Nilai titik potong optimal skor ALDH terhadap respon radiasi adalah 166,05 pg/mL yang diperoleh dari analisis kurva ROC. Nilai AUC menunjukkan hasil 0.682 dengan sensitivitas 63,6% dan spesifisitas 64,0%. Skor ALDH ≥ 166,05 meningkatkan risiko hingga 3,1 kali untuk tidak tercapainya respon komplet (adj OR 3,127, IK 95% 1,034 – 9,456, p = 0,043). Ukuran tumor pre-radiasi (p = 0,593), derajat diferensiasi (p = 0,161), kelainan ginjal pre-radiasi (0,114), dan keratinisasi (p = 0,477) tidak berhubungan dengan respon radiasi. Simpulan: Ekspresi ALDH yang tinggi berhubungan dengan respon radiasi tidak komplet pada karsinoma sel skuamosa serviks stadium IIIB. Pasien dengan skor ALDH ≥ 166,05 meningkatkan risiko tidak tercapainya respon komplet hingga 3,1 kali lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan subjek dengan skor ALDH < 166,05.

Aim: This study aims to determine the association between ALDH1 and the radiation response of stage IIIB cervical squamous cell carcinoma. Methods: A total 58 of 360 patients diagnosed with stage IIIB cervical squamous cell carcinoma who received complete radiation during 2016-2021 at the RSCM met the eligibility criteria for this study. Pre- and post-irradiation MRI examinations and ALDH expression with immunohistochemistry (Santa Cruz®) were performed on 58 paraffin block samples. Therapy response was assessed at 3 months after radiation. We compared the complete response resulting in low and high ALDH expression. The analysis was carried out with SPSS software. Results: The optimal ALDH score cut-off point on the radiation response was 166.05 pg/mL which was obtained from the analysis of the ROC curve. The AUC value was 0.682 with sensitivity and specificity, 63,6% and 64%, respectively. ALDH score ≥ 166.05 increased the risk by 2.7 times for not achieving the complete response (OR = 2,656, IK 95% 0,844 – 8,356, p = 0,095). Pre-radiation tumor size (p = 0.593), degree of differentiation (p = 0.161), renal abnormalities (p = 0.114), and keratinization (p = 0.477) were not associated with radiation response. Conclusions: High ALDH expression was associated with incomplete radiation response in squamous cell carcinoma of cervix stage IIIB.
