ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Nutritional and immunological statuses are attracting increasing attention for their ability to predict surgical outcomes in various cancers. The Naples prognostic score (NPS) consists of the serum albumin level, total cholesterol level, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio and could be useful for predicting survival. PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
We retrospectively analyzed 196 patients with pancreatic cancer who underwent curative R0/R1 resection with a surgery-first strategy between June 2003 and August 2016. The NPS of the patients was calculated from preoperative data, and the patients were then divided into three groups based on their NPS. Clinicopathological characteristics, surgical outcomes, and long-term survival were compared, and multivariate analysis of overall survival was conducted.RESULTS:
Of a total of 196 patients, 22 were classified into group 0 (NPS 0), 113 into group 1 (NPS 1 or 2), and 61 into group 2 (NPS 3 or 4). Median survival time was 103.4 months in group 0, 33.3 months in group 1, and 21.3 months in group 2. Significant survival differences were observed among the 3 groups (group 1 vs. 2, group 0 vs. 2, P = 0.0380, P = 0.0022, respectively). On multivariate analysis, NPS was identified as an independent prognostic factor [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.78; P = 0.0131]; however, there were no significant differences in the incidence of postoperative morbidity among the NPS groups.CONCLUSIONS:
The NPS could be an easy scoring system and an independent preoperative predictor of survival.
