BACKGROUND: Soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) represents a circulating form of ICAM-1 that is constitutively expressed or is inducible, which localizes to the cell surfaces of different cell lines and is related to the metastatic potential of cancer cells. The aim of the present study was to determine the relationships between the preoperative serum concentration of sICAM-1 and clinicopathological features, established tumor markers and prognosis, in colorectal cancer patients. METHODS: One hundred and thirty-eight patients with histologically proven colorectal cancer and 40 normal volunteers were included in this trial. Preoperative serum was collected, and sICAM-1 levels were assayed using a commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit. RESULTS: The mean sICAM-1 level in patients was significantly higher than that in controls, and increased with disease progression. The prognosis of patients with an elevated sICAM-1 level was significantly worse than that of patients with a normal sICAM-1 level. In a Cox multivariate analysis, the strongest prognostic factor in all patients was distant metastasis followed by sICAM-1 level, while in patients with stage II classification, the strongest prognostic factor was serum level of sICAM-1. The prognosis of stage II patients positive for sICAM-1 was comparable to that of stage III patients. CONCLUSIONS: Preoperative sICAM-1 level is an independent prognostic marker for stage II colorectal cancer. Measuring serum sICAM-1 may provide valuable information, especially for stage II patients, when selecting appropriate candidates for adjuvant chemotherapy.
