OBJECTIVE: We analyzed the predictive value of dynamic changes in neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in recurrent and/or metastatic (R/M) head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). STUDY DESIGN: A total of 104 patients with R/M HNSCC treated with ICIs during August 2018 to June 2023 were included. Dynamic changes were defined as the difference between NLR and PLR on day 1 of cycles 1 and 2. RESULTS: Patients with increased NLR or PLR had an independently increased risk of disease progression at the first response evaluation (odds ratio [OR] 5.26, P = .005; OR 2.29, P = .042), disease progression (hazard ratio [HR] 2.29, P = .003; HR 1.68, P = .027), and death (HR 1.86, P = .027; HR 1.68, P = .037). Furthermore, patients with a decrease in NLR showed longer progression-free survival, with HRs of 0.36 (P < .001) for those with low pre-ICI NLR and 0.52 (P = .041) for those with high pre-ICI NLR, compared to those with increased NLR. CONCLUSIONS: Increased NLR or PLR was associated with adverse outcomes after ICI treatment in patients with R/M HNSCC.
目的:我们分析了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)在接受免疫检查点抑制剂(ICI)治疗的复发性和/或转移性(R/M)头颈部鳞状细胞癌(HNSCC)患者中的预测价值。
研究设计:共纳入 104 例在 2018 年 8 月至 2023 年 6 月期间接受 ICI 治疗的 R/M HNSCC 患者。动态变化定义为第 1 周期和第 2 周期第 1 天 NLR 和 PLR 的差值。
结果:NLR 或 PLR 升高的患者在首次反应评估时疾病进展的风险独立增加(优势比 [OR] 5.26,P =.005;OR 2.29,P =.042)、疾病进展(风险比 [HR] 2.29,P =.003;HR 1.68,P =.027)和死亡(HR 1.86,P =.027;HR 1.68,P =.037)。此外,NLR 降低的患者具有更长的无进展生存期,低基线 NLR 的患者 HR 为 0.36(P <.001),高基线 NLR 的患者 HR 为 0.52(P =.041),与 NLR 升高的患者相比。
结论:在 R/M HNSCC 患者中,ICI 治疗后 NLR 或 PLR 增加与不良结局相关。
