: The prognostic nutritional index (PNI), a marker reflecting both nutritional and immune status, has been associated with prognosis in various malignancies. However, evidence in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), particularly from non-Asian populations, remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of baseline PNI and to develop a blood-based prognostic model in mCRPC patients treated with abiraterone acetate (AA), enzalutamide (ENZA), or cabazitaxel (CABA). : This retrospective study included mCRPC patients treated with AA, ENZA, or CABA before or after docetaxel. PNI was calculated as: 10 × serum albumin (g/dL) + 0.005 × total lymphocyte count (/mm). Patients were classified into low-PNI (≤40.8) and high-PNI (>40.8) groups using the median PNI value. Survival outcomes were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression methods. : A total of 299 patients were analyzed: 133 (44.5%) received AA, 106 (35.5%) ENZA, and 60 (20.0%) CABA. Patients with high PNI had significantly longer median overall survival (OS; 30.2 vs. 12.6 months, < 0.001), radiologic progression-free survival (rPFS; 13.5 vs. 6.7 months, < 0.001), and PSA progression-free survival (PSA-PFS; 10.2 vs. 5.1 months, < 0.001). These associations remained significant across all treatment subgroups. In multivariate analysis, prostate surgery (HR: 0.6), high PNI (HR: 0.5), PSA response (HR: 0.5), and elevated ALP (HR: 1.6) were independent predictors of OS. A prognostic model incorporating PNI, alkaline phosphatase, and anemia stratified patients into four risk groups with distinct OS: 49.1, 30.8, 18.8, and 9.1 months, respectively. : This is the largest study to date in a non-Asian mCRPC population showing that baseline PNI is a strong, independent prognostic factor for survival. The proposed blood-based tool may aid in clinical risk stratification, pending prospective validation.
预后营养指数(PNI)是一种反映营养和免疫状态的标志物,已被证明与多种恶性肿瘤的预后相关。然而,关于转移性去势抵抗性前列腺癌(mCRPC)的证据,尤其是来自非亚洲人群的证据仍然有限。本研究旨在评估基线PNI的预后价值,并为接受醋酸阿比特龙(AA)、恩杂鲁胺(ENZA)或卡巴他赛(CABA)治疗的mCRPC患者建立一种基于血液的预后模型。 :这项回顾性研究纳入了在多西他赛治疗之前或之后接受AA、ENZA或CABA治疗的mCRPC患者。PNI的计算方法为:10×血清白蛋白(g/dL)+0.005×总淋巴细胞计数(/mm)。使用PNI的中位数将患者分为低PNI(≤40.8)和高PNI(>40.8)组。采用Kaplan-Meier和Cox回归方法分析生存结果。 :共分析了299例患者:133例(44.5%)接受AA治疗,106例(35.5%)接受ENZA治疗,60例(20.0%)接受CABA治疗。高PNI患者的中位总生存期(OS)显著更长(30.2个月对12.6个月,<0.001),放射学无进展生存期(rPFS)(13.5个月对6.7个月,<0.001),以及前列腺特异性抗原无进展生存期(PSA-PFS)(10.2个月对5.1个月,<0.001)。这些关联在所有治疗亚组中均保持显著。在多变量分析中,前列腺手术(HR:0.6)、高PNI(HR:0.5)、PSA反应(HR:0.5)和碱性磷酸酶升高(HR:1.6)是OS的独立预测因素。一个包含PNI、碱性磷酸酶和贫血的预后模型将患者分为四个风险组,其OS明显不同:分别为49.1个月、30.8个月、18.8个月和9.1个月。 :这是迄今为止在非亚洲mCRPC人群中开展的最大规模研究,表明基线PNI是生存的一个强大的独立预后因素。所提出的基于血液的工具可能有助于临床风险分层,有待前瞻性验证。
