The SDF-1/CXCR4 pathway has been suggested to play a role in the metastatic dissemination of various tumours. We assessed the prognostic impact of SDF-1 and CXCR4 expression in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Seventy-one HNSCC samples collected at the time of initial diagnosis were retrospectively analysed. SDF-1 and CXCR4 expression levels were measured using real-time RT-PCR and correlated to survival. After a median follow-up of 45 months, 25 patients (35%) died of cancer (group D), and 46 patients (65%) were alive or dead without evidence of HSNCC evolution (group A). The median level of CXCR4 expression was 0.33 and 0.29 in groups A and D, respectively (P = 0.93), showing no correlation with recurrence or survival. By contrast, the median level of SDF-1 expression was significantly different in the A and D groups (2.41 vs 1.16, respectively, P = 0.018). Using the median level as a cut-off, patients with low SDF-1 had poorer metastasis-free (P = 0.026), disease-free (P = 0.006) and overall specific survival rates (P = 0.002). The prognostic value of SDF-1 was confirmed by a multivariate analysis. In this series of 71 HNSCC patients, the SDF-1 expression level correlated significantly with metastatic evolution and overall survival. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
