584 Background: Clinical and molecular characteristics are different between Right-side and left-sided colorectal cancer (CRC). The aim of this study was to clarify the significance of the correlation of the Sidedness of CRC and tumor immunity. Methods: A total of 116 patients who underwent curative colectomy for stage II/III CRC were included in this study. The expression of PD-1, PD-L1, FoxP3, TGF-b, and IDO was examined by immunohistochemistry and the relationship of sidedness to several prognostic factors was examined. Results: In clinicopathological factors, there were no significant difference between right sided and left sided CRC except for differentiation. Regarding tumor immunity, there were no significant difference in PD-1 and IDO expression. However, Fox P3 (right side 72% vs. left side 59%) and TGFβ (right side 72% vs. left side 57%) tended to be highly expressed in right side(p < 0.1). PDL1 was significantly highly expressed in right side(right side 65% vs. left side 35%, p < 0.05). In OS and DFS, the patients with right sided tumor tended to have poor prognosis compared with left side (p < 0.1). The PD-L1 positive patients of right-sided tumor had poor prognosis (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Sidedness is associated with tumor immunity in colorectal cancer.

Abstract Aim: This study aims to investigate the relationship of two prognostic factors NLR and PLR to patient survival in gastric cancer patients diagnosed before surgery.Background: Due to the high prevalence of gastric cancer and the lack of appropriate prognostic factors, most patients are diagnosed at advanced stages of the disease. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the appropriate prognostic factor investigated investigate the relationship of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in gastric cancer patients.Methods: This retrospective study was performed on all gastric cancer patients referred to Kashani Hospital of Shahrekord (Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province) in 2011-2016. Demographic and biological variables such as NLR and PLR were evaluated. Patient survival was calculated by subtracting the date at disease diagnosis (using endoscopy) from the date at death and expressed in month. Data was analyzed by SPSS software.Results: The mean age of patients was 63.79 ± 15.03 (range: 10-92) years. 76% of patients were male and the rest were female. Only NLR had significant effect on survival (P < 0.05) and PLR had no significant effect on survival (P > 0.05).Conclusion: With the increase in NLR by one point, the risk of death in gastric cancer patients increased by 18%. In other words, with increase in NLR, survival rate of gastric cancer after surgery significantly decreased. It is suggested that further studies be conducted with a more statistical population to ensure the reproducibility of the results of the present study.

Abstract OBJECTIVES Characterizing pathological nodes (pNs) by location alone is sometimes inadequate as patients with pN1 or pN2 non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) show prognostic heterogeneity. We aimed to assess the relationship of the number of metastatic lymph nodes (LNs) and zones with prognosis in NSCLC patients. METHODS We analysed 1393 patients who underwent lobectomy with mediastinal LN dissection for NSCLC at the Osaka International Cancer Institute between January 2006 and December 2015. Patients were classified into 3 groups according to the number of LNs: n1–3, n4–6 and n7–. We investigated the relationship of prognosis with the number of metastatic LNs and metastatic zones. RESULTS In the multivariable analyses, the number of metastatic LNs and zones were not independent factors for overall survival or recurrence-free survival in patients with pN1 disease after adjustment for age, sex, tumour histology and tumour diameter. However, n4–6 (ref. n1–3) was an independent prognostic factor for overall survival [hazard ratio (HR) 4.148, P &lt; 0.001] in those with pN2 disease. There were no significant differences in overall survival and recurrence-free survival between pN1 (HR 0.674, P = 0.175) and pN2n1–3 disease (HR 1.056, P = 0.808). Moreover, patients with pN2 disease with a higher number of metastatic zones had a poor prognosis for recurrence-free survival [3 zones (ref. 1): HR 1.774, P = 0.051, and 4 zones (ref. 1): HR 2.173, P &lt; 0.047]. CONCLUSIONS The number of metastatic LNs and metastatic zones were useful prognostic factors in NSCLC patients. The findings could help in establishing a new pN classification.
