Cervical cancer ranks as the second most fatal tumour globally among females. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) have been widely applied to the diagnosis of cancers.
The clinicopathologic data of 180 patients with stage IB2-IIB cervical cancer who underwent radical concurrent chemoradiotherapy from January 2018 to December 2019 were retrospectively analysed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted to analyse the optimal cut-off values of NLR and PLR for predicting the therapeutic effects of concurrent chemoradiotherapy. The associations of PLR and other clinicopathological factors with 1-year survival rates were explored through univariate analysis and multivariate Cox regression analysis, respectively.
NLR was significantly associated with the therapeutic effects of neoadjuvant therapy, with the optimal cut-off value of 2.89, area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.848 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.712-0.896), sensitivity of 0.892 (95% CI: 0.856-0.923) and specificity of 0.564 (95% CI: 0.512-0.592). PLR had a significant association with the therapeutic effects of neoadjuvant therapy, with the optimal cut-off value of 134.27, AUC of 0.766 (95% CI: 0.724-0.861), sensitivity of 0.874 (95% CI: 0.843-0.905) and specificity of 0.534 (95% CI: 0.512-0.556). Lymphatic metastasis ([95% CI: 1.435-5.461], [95% CI: 1.336-4.281], depth of invasion ([95% CI: 1.281-3.546], [95% CI: 1.183-3.359]) and tumour size ([95% CI: 1.129-3.451], [95% CI: 1.129-3.451]) were independent factors influencing the overall survival and disease-free survival (DFS) of patients with cervical cancer. NLR (95%CI: 1.256-4.039) and PLR (95%CI:1.281-3.546) were also independent factors affecting DFS.
NLR and PLR in the peripheral blood before treatment may predict DFS of patients with stage IB2-IIB cervical cancer.
宫颈癌是女性中全球第二大致命肿瘤。中性粒细胞与淋巴细胞比值(NLR)和血小板与淋巴细胞比值(PLR)已广泛应用于癌症的诊断。
回顾性分析了 2018 年 1 月至 2019 年 12 月期间 180 名接受根治性同期放化疗的 IB2-IIB 期宫颈癌患者的临床病理资料。绘制受试者工作特征(ROC)曲线以分析 NLR 和 PLR 对预测同期放化疗疗效的最佳截断值。通过单因素分析和多因素 Cox 回归分析分别探讨 PLR 与其他临床病理因素与 1 年生存率的关系。
NLR 与新辅助治疗的疗效显著相关,最佳截断值为 2.89,ROC 曲线下面积(AUC)为 0.848(95%置信区间[CI]:0.712-0.896),敏感性为 0.892(95%CI:0.856-0.923),特异性为 0.564(95%CI:0.512-0.592)。PLR 与新辅助治疗的疗效显著相关,最佳截断值为 134.27,AUC 为 0.766(95%CI:0.724-0.861),敏感性为 0.874(95%CI:0.843-0.905),特异性为 0.534(95%CI:0.512-0.556)。淋巴转移([95%CI:1.435-5.461],[95%CI:1.336-4.281])、浸润深度([95%CI:1.281-3.546],[95%CI:1.183-3.359])和肿瘤大小([95%CI:1.129-3.451],[95%CI:1.129-3.451])是影响宫颈癌患者总生存和无病生存(DFS)的独立因素。NLR(95%CI:1.256-4.039)和 PLR(95%CI:1.281-3.546)也是影响 DFS 的独立因素。
治疗前外周血 NLR 和 PLR 可能预测 IB2-IIB 期宫颈癌患者的 DFS。
