Modified Glasgow Prognostic Score is Better for Predicting Oncological Outcome in Patients with Soft Tissue Sarcoma, Compared to High-Sensitivity Modified Glasgow Prognostic Score.

Background: Inflammation plays a critical role in the development, progression, clinical presentation, and diagnosis of tumours. We compared the usefulness of the high-sensitivity modified Glasgow prognostic score (HS-mGPS) and mGPS in predicting oncological outcomes in patients with soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) who underwent primary surgical tumour resection. Methods: Between 2002 and 2018, 144 patients were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 63 years. The mean follow-up period was 76 months. Results: The disease-specific survival (DSS) at five years was 71.5% in all patients. When patients were divided into three groups according to the HS-mGPS and mGPS, those with a score of 1 or 2 had a poorer DSS than those with a score of 0, respectively. When we compared the survival rate among the 98 patients with both HS-mGPS and mGPS of 0 and 21 patients with HS-mGPS of 1 and mGPS of 0, there was no significant difference in the prognosis. In multivariate analysis, larger tumour size and higher mGPS remained significant. Conclusion: mGPS is a reliable system for identifying patients at high risk for death in patients with STSs.
