To investigate the prognostic value of metastatic lymph node ratio (MLNR) in extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ECC) patients undergoing radical resection.
Seventy-eight patients with ECC were enrolled. Associations between various clinicopathologic factors and prognosis were investigated by Kaplan-Meier analyses. The Cox proportional-hazards model was used for multivariate survival analysis.
The overall three- and five-year survival rates were 47.26% and 23.99%, respectively. MLNR of 0, 0-0.2, 0.2-0.5, and > 0.5 corresponded to five-year survival rates of 28.59%, 21.60%, 18.84%, and 10.03%, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that degree of tumor differentiation, lymph node metastasis, MLNR, tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage, and margin status were closely associated with postoperative survival in ECC patients (P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that MLNR and TNM stage were independent prognostic factors after pancreaticoduodenectomy (HR = 2.13, 95%CI: 1.45-3.11; P < 0.01; and HR = 1.97, 95%CI: 1.17-3.31; P = 0.01, respectively). The median survival time for MLNR > 0.5, 0.2-0.5, 0-0.2, and 0 was 15 mo, 24 mo, 23 mo, and 35.5 mo, respectively. There were statistical differences in survival time between patients with different MLNR (χ(2) = 15.38; P < 0.01).
MLNR is an independent prognostic factor for ECC patients after radical resection and is useful for predicting postoperative survival.
探讨转移淋巴结比率(MLNR)在接受根治性切除的肝外胆管癌(ECC)患者中的预后价值。
纳入78例ECC患者。采用Kaplan-Meier分析研究各种临床病理因素与预后之间的关联。采用Cox比例风险模型进行多因素生存分析。
总体三年和五年生存率分别为47.26%和23.99%。MLNR为0、0 - 0.2、0.2 - 0.5和>0.5时,对应的五年生存率分别为28.59%、21.60%、18.84%和10.03%。单因素分析显示,肿瘤分化程度、淋巴结转移、MLNR、肿瘤-淋巴结-转移(TNM)分期和切缘状态与ECC患者术后生存密切相关(P<0.05)。多因素分析显示,MLNR和TNM分期是胰十二指肠切除术后的独立预后因素(HR = 2.13,95%CI:1.45 - 3.11;P<0.01;以及HR = 1.97,95%CI:1.17 - 3.31;P = 0.01)。MLNR>0.5、0.2 - 0.5、0 - 0.2和0的患者的中位生存时间分别为15个月、24个月、23个月和35.5个月。不同MLNR患者的生存时间存在统计学差异(χ(2)=15.38;P<0.01)。
MLNR是ECC患者根治性切除术后的独立预后因素,有助于预测术后生存。
