The prognostic role of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in cervical cancer are controversial. We conducted this meta-analysis to obtain a more accurate assessment of prognostic significance of NLR in cervical cancer.
A total of 9 studies, consisting of 2,804 patients, were selected in this meta-analysis. Our pooled results showed that high pre-treatment NLR level was significantly associated with poorer overall survival (HR: 1.88, 95% CI 1.30-2.73) and shorter progression free survival (HR 1.65, 95% CI 1.18-2.29). Additionally, increased NLR was also significantly correlated with tumor size (OR 2.05, 95% CI 1.14-3.65), advanced FIGO stage (OR 2.12, 95% CI1.28-3.49) and lymph node involvement (OR 2.24, 95% CI 1.65-3.04).
We conducted a systematic literature search using the electronic databases PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase up to May 2016.Statistical analysis was performed using Stata 10.0.
Elevated pretreatment NLR could serve as a predicative factor of poor prognosis for cervical cancer patients.
中性粒细胞与淋巴细胞比值(NLR)在宫颈癌中的预后作用存在争议。我们进行了这项荟萃分析,以更准确地评估NLR在宫颈癌中的预后意义。
本荟萃分析共纳入9项研究,涉及2804例患者。我们的汇总结果显示,治疗前NLR水平较高与较差的总生存期(HR:1.88,95%CI 1.30 - 2.73)和较短的无进展生存期(HR 1.65,95%CI 1.18 - 2.29)显著相关。此外,NLR升高还与肿瘤大小(OR 2.05,95%CI 1.14 - 3.65)、国际妇产科联盟(FIGO)分期较晚(OR 2.12,95%CI 1.28 - 3.49)和淋巴结受累(OR 2.24,95%CI 1.65 - 3.04)显著相关。
我们使用电子数据库PubMed、Web of Science和Embase进行了系统的文献检索,检索截至2016年5月。使用Stata 10.0进行统计分析。
治疗前NLR升高可作为宫颈癌患者预后不良的预测因素。
