This study aimed to assess the prognostic and predictive value of a circulating hematological signature (CHS) and to develop a CHS-based nomogram for predicting prognosis and guiding individualized chemotherapy in non-metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients.
NPC patients were recruited between January 2014 and December 2017 at the Jiangxi Cancer Hospital. The CHS was constructed based on a series of hematological indicators. The nomogram was developed by CHS and clinical factors.
A total of 779 patients were included. Three biomarkers were selected by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression, including prognostic nutritional index, albumin-to-fibrinogen ratio, and prealbumin-to-fibrinogen ratio, were used to construct the CHS. The patients in the low-CHS group had better 5-year DMFS and OS than those in the high-CHS group in the training (DMFS: 85.0% vs 56.6%, <0.001; OS: 90.3% vs 65.4%, <0.001) and validation cohorts (DMFS: 92.3% vs 43.6%, <0.001; OS: 92.1% vs 65.5%, <0.001). The nomogram_CHS showed better performance than clinical stage in predicting distant metastasis (concordance index: 0.728 vs 0.646). In the low-TRS (total risk scores) group, the patients received RT alone, CCRT and IC plus CCRT had similar 5-year DMFS and OS (>0.05). In the middle-TRS group, the patients received RT alone had worse 5-year DMFS (58.7% vs 80.8% vs 90.8%, =0.002) and OS (75.0% vs 94.1% vs 95.0%, =0.001) than those received CCRT or IC plus CCRT. In the high-TRS group, the patients received RT alone and CCRT had worse 5-year DMFS (18.6% vs 31.3% vs 81.5%, <0.001) and OS (26.9% vs 53.2% vs 88.8%, <0.001) than those received IC plus CCRT.
The developed nomogram_CHS had satisfactory prognostic accuracy in NPC patients and may individualize risk estimation to facilitate the identification of suitable IC candidates.
本研究旨在评估循环血液学特征(CHS)的预后和预测价值,并开发一种基于CHS的列线图,用于预测非转移性鼻咽癌(NPC)患者的预后并指导个体化化疗。
2014年1月至2017年12月期间,在江西省肿瘤医院招募NPC患者。CHS基于一系列血液学指标构建。列线图由CHS和临床因素开发而成。
共纳入779例患者。通过最小绝对收缩和选择算子回归选择了三个生物标志物,包括预后营养指数、白蛋白与纤维蛋白原比值以及前白蛋白与纤维蛋白原比值,用于构建CHS。在训练队列(无远处转移生存期[DMFS]:85.0%对56.6%,<0.001;总生存期[OS]:90.3%对65.4%,<0.001)和验证队列(DMFS:92.3%对43.6%,<0.001;OS:92.1%对65.5%,<0.001)中,低CHS组患者的5年DMFS和OS均优于高CHS组。列线图_CHS在预测远处转移方面表现优于临床分期(一致性指数:0.728对0.646)。在低总风险评分(TRS)组中,单纯接受放疗、同步放化疗(CCRT)以及诱导化疗(IC)加CCRT的患者5年DMFS和OS相似(>0.05)。在中TRS组中,单纯接受放疗的患者5年DMFS(58.7%对80.8%对90.8%,=0.002)和OS(75.0%对94.1%对95.0%,=0.001)均比接受CCRT或IC加CCRT的患者差。在高TRS组中,单纯接受放疗和CCRT的患者5年DMFS(18.6%对31.3%对81.5%,<0.001)和OS(26.9%对53.2%对88.8%,<0.001)均比接受IC加CCRT的患者差。
所开发的列线图_CHS在NPC患者中具有令人满意的预后准确性,可能实现风险评估个体化,以促进识别合适的IC候选者。
