ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Systemic immune, inflammatory, and nutritional indices are prognostic across multiple tumor sites. Comprehensive analysis of these markers in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) treated with definitive (chemo)radiotherapy [(C)RT] is limited and may assist with future prognostication.METHODS:
For this retrospective cohort study, patients with LACC treated with definitive (C)RT were identified from a comprehensive cancer center's clinicopathological database. Pre-treatment indices were derived including systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR), neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte lymphocyte ratio (MLR), albumin to alkaline phosphatase ratio (AAPR) and prognostic nutritional index (PNI). Univariate analysis was performed for PFS and OS. ROC curves were analyzed to determine optimal cut points. PFS and OS were assessed by the Kaplan-Meier method and Log-Rank test. Multivariate analysis was performed using Cox regression.RESULTS:
196 patients were identified median follow-up 7 years (IQR 2-11). Higher SII (≤700 vs >700; p = 0.01), higher PLR (≤ 250 vs >250; p < 0.001) and higher NLR (≤ 5 vs >5; p = 0.003) were associated with worse PFS. Higher SII (≤700 vs >700 p = 0.02), higher PLR (≤ 250 vs >250 p < 0.001) and higher NLR (≤ 5 vs >5; p = 0.01) were associated with worse OS. On multivariate analysis, SII, NLR and PLR were independently associated with PFS. SII and PLR were independently associated with OS.CONCLUSIONS:
SII and PLR were independently associated with PFS and OS in patients with LACC treated with definitive (C)RT. NLR was independently associated with PFS. High inflammatory state is associated with shorter survival suggesting this as a target for interventions if validated in future studies.
