Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide. The survival time of patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC) is shortened. We evaluated the role of the sodium/fibrinogen ratio (SFR) and sodium/D-dimer ratio (SDR) in predicting the first-line chemotherapy response, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) of patients with AGC.
A total of 304 patients with AGC were retrospectively reviewed. SDR only was selected as a potential prognostic marker for the subsequent studies in this study. Based on the cut-off value of the SDR, the patients were divided into high-SDR and low-SDR groups and investigated for their clinicopathological features, first-line chemotherapy effects and clinical outcomes.
The cut-off value based on the SDR was 282.22, and the patients were divided into low-SDR (SDR ≤ 282.22) and high-SDR (SDR > 282.22) groups. The disease control rate was higher in the high-SDR group than in the low-SDR group (91.1% vs. 82.3%; = 0.036). Patients with a high SDR had a longer median PFS and OS than those with a low SDR (PFS: 206.0 vs. 134.0 days, < 0.001; OS: 435.0 vs. 295.5 days, < 0.001). The SDR was an independent prognostic indicator in the multivariable analysis of PFS ( < 0.001) and OS ( = 0.004). In subgroup analyses, among the patients with normal sodium and D-dimer levels, SDR was still a reliable prognostic indicator of PFS and OS in patients with AGC (all ≤ 0.001).
This study suggests that the SDR may serve as a prognostic indicator for chemotherapy outcome, PFS and OS for patients with AGC receiving first-line chemotherapy.
胃癌(GC)是全球最常见的癌症之一。晚期胃癌(AGC)患者的生存时间缩短。我们评估了钠/纤维蛋白原比值(SFR)和钠/D-二聚体比值(SDR)在预测AGC患者一线化疗反应、无进展生存期(PFS)和总生存期(OS)中的作用。
回顾性分析了304例AGC患者。本研究仅选择SDR作为后续研究的潜在预后标志物。根据SDR的临界值,将患者分为高SDR组和低SDR组,并对其临床病理特征、一线化疗效果和临床结局进行研究。
基于SDR的临界值为282.22,患者分为低SDR组(SDR≤282.22)和高SDR组(SDR>282.22)。高SDR组的疾病控制率高于低SDR组(91.1%对82.3%;P=0.036)。高SDR患者的中位PFS和OS长于低SDR患者(PFS:206.0天对134.0天,P<0.001;OS:435.0天对295.5天,P<0.001)。在PFS(P<0.001)和OS(P=0.004)的多变量分析中,SDR是独立的预后指标。在亚组分析中,在钠和D-二聚体水平正常的患者中,SDR仍然是AGC患者PFS和OS的可靠预后指标(均P≤0.001)。
本研究表明,SDR可作为接受一线化疗的AGC患者化疗结局、PFS和OS的预后指标。
