ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Lung cancer, the most common cause of cancer-related death, is diagnosed mostly in advanced stages, and 5-year survival is approximately 5.8%. It is critical to identify reliable prognostic factors to optimize treatment responses, guide therapeutic strategies and pave the way to new research. In this study, we aimed to investigate the strongest prognostic factors for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).METHODS:
We retrospectively analyzed 278 patients with NSCLC. We evaluated the association between potential prognostic factors and overall survival (OS) times using Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression analysis.RESULTS:
The median OS in all patients was 15.3 months. In univariate analysis, gender, histologic type, performance status, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, hemoglobin level, serum albumin, sodium-globulin ratio (SGR), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), systemic immune inflammation index (SII), hemoglobin-albumin-lymphocyte-platelet score (HALP), and advanced lung cancer index (ALI) were associated with survival. Models were established for multivariate analyses. In the models, NLR, SGR, HALP, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status showed independent prognostic features (p < 0.001, p = 0.003, p = 0.002, p < 0.001, p = 0.010, and p = 0.025, respectively). In addition, in the subgroup analysis, prognostic indexes (NLR, SGR, and HALP) were found to have a prognostic effect on survival in multiple subgroups.CONCLUSIONS:
Pretreatment NLR, SGR, HALP, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, and ECOG performance status are independent prognostic factors for advanced NSCLC patients. These prognostic factors can be used in clinical practice as easily accessible, simple, and useful tools for clinicians.
