Background: The relationship between neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) with outcome is a complex issue. A high NLR reflects systemic inflammation. This study aimed to estimate the relationship between NLR, and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in disease-free survival (DFS). Methods: This was a cross-sectional study in which we reviewed the patient files of 102 patients with breast cancer treated at the Babylon Oncology Center from January 2009 to September 2014, who had follow-up for at least 36 months. The following data were collected from patient files: age, diagnosis date, date of recurrence and/or metastasis, follow-up, histological tumor type, tumor size, node metastasis stage, histological differentiation degree, estrogen and/or progesterone receptor expression, HER2 neu status, and metastasis site. Results: The mean age of patients was 50.4 ± 11.7 years and lowest period of follow up was 40 months. Longest DFS was 62 months, with 5 years DFS in 52.5% of patients. Stage N0 was associated with a significantly higher DFS compared to stage N1. Isolated local recurrence was seen in 15% of patients and combined local recurrences with distant metastasis was observed 37%. NLR had the highest discrimination ability to predict recurrence and distant metastasis. Conclusion: An increase in NLR was associated with poor DFS, and it can therefore be a predictive and prognostic factor. NLR’s established prediction model warrants further investigation.

Terapi adjuvant hormonal merupakan pilihan terapi yang efektif bagi pasien kanker payudara stadium dini dengan hormonal responsif dan Her-2 negatif. Outcome klinis dari terapi kanker payudara adalah Disease Free Survival (DFS), Overall Survival (OS). Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi terapi adjuvant hormonal dan pengaruhnya terhadap outcome klinis pasien. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif dengan desain cross sectional study menggunakan data retrospektif registrasi kanker payudara Persatuan Ahli Bedah Onkologi Indonesia (PERABOI) Kota Padang selama periode 2008-2017. Analisis data menggunakan Kaplan Meier Analysis dengan Log rank. Diperoleh sebanyak 58 orang pasien yang memenuhi kriteri inklusi, dengan rerata umur yaitu 49,41 ± 8,69 tahun, kejadian relaps 22,4% dan sebanyak 6,9% pasien mengalami kematian. Terapi terbanyak pada pasien premenopause adalah tamoxifen (58,3%), pada pasien pascamenopause adalah Aromatase Inhibitor (54,5%). Secara statistik pada pasien premenopause tidak ada pengaruh terapi adjuvant hormonal yang berbeda terhadap DFS (P log rank test 0,243 dan HR = 0.513) dan OS (P log rank test 0,545 dan HR = 0.314). Pada pasien pascamenopause tidak ada pengaruh terapi yang berbeda terhadap DFS (P log rank test 0,586 dan HR = 0,10) dan OS (P log rank test 0,594 dan HR = 0,12).

Terapi adjuvan pada pasien early breast cancer (EBC) bertujuan untuk meningkatkan disease free survival, menurunkan risiko relaps dan menurunkan angka kematian. Tetapi pada kenyataannya masih sering dijumpai, pasien EBC yang telah mendapat terapi adjuvan mengalami relaps. Kejadian relaps sering dihubungkan dengan meningkatnya risiko kematian tanpa memperhatikan jenis pengobatan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui angka kejadian relaps pada pasien premenopausal EBC yang telah mendapatkan terapi adjuvan di RSUP dr. Sardjito Yogyakarta. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif observasional dengan desain cross sectional study menggunakan data retrospektif yang diperoleh dari data rekam medik pasien premenopausal EBC di Poliklinik Kanker Terpadu “Tulip” RSUP dr. Sardjito Yogyakarta yang telah mengalami tindakan pembedahan pada tahun 2010-2013, bersifat hormon responsif dan HER-2 negatif, mendapatkan terapi adjuvan, perempuan dengan umur 18-60 tahun dan  riwayat pemeriksaan sampai bulan Desember 2016. Pasien akan di eksklusi bila mempunyai penyakit penyerta. Dari 30 pasien diketahui sebanyak 46,67% berumur 41-50 tahun, sebanyak 63,33% menunjukkan ekspresi ER-PR positif, sebanyak 93,34% merupakan invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC). Semua pasien mendapatkan terapi adjuvan kemoterapi menggunakan regimen kombinasi dan semua pasien mendapatkan terapi endokrin berupa tamoksifen. Relaps terjadi pada 11 pasien (36,67%) dan kejadian relaps paling banyak adalah metastasis tulang yaitu pada 8 pasien (26,67%).

Objective: To investigate the adaptation of pregnant women to the recommended weight gain range according to body mass index (BMI) and to determine the factors affecting them. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed in a university hospital’s obstetrics and gynecology unit (tertiary center) in Turkey. This study was conducted between March 2018 and August 2018 (6 months) in pregnant women. Pregnant women with chronic disease and receiving treatment during antenatal follow-up, with twin pregnancy, with a fetus with a congenital abnormality, and nutritional disturbance were excluded from the study. Eight hundred twelve pregnant women with normal antenatal follow-up and who volunteered to participate were included in the study. Results: The mean age of the participants was 27.66±5.05 years. The mean weight and BMI before pregnancy were near standard in all participants. The group with the highest rate of recommended weight gain according to BMI before pregnancy was the group with low weight pregnant women. The ideal weight gain rate in all groups was 32%. Conclusions: The groups with overweight and obese pregnant women according to BMI before pregnancy had the highest rates of weight gain, above the recommended limits. BMI before pregnancy directly affects weight gain during pregnancy and the importance of pre-pregnancy counseling and weight loss is emphasized once again. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.35.5.133 How to cite this:Ozdilek R, Aba YA, Aksoy SD, Sik BA, Akpak YK.

This study aims to investigate the prognostic value of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients treated with liver transplantation (LT) through meta-analysis. Relevant articles were sought in PubMed, Embase, and Wangfang databases up to July 2015. A total of 1687 patients from 10 studies were included in this meta-analysis. Meta-analysis results showed that elevated NLR was significantly associated with poorer overall survival (OS) (HR = 2.71, 95% CI: 1.91–3.83) and poorer disease-free survival (DFS) (HR = 3.61, 95% CI: 2.23–5.84) in HCC patients treated with LT. Moreover, subgroup analysis showed the significant association between elevated preoperative NLR and poor prognosis was not altered by cutoff values of NLR or types of LT. Therefore, elevated preoperative NLR is associated with poor prognosis in HCC patients treated with LT. Preoperative NLR should be used to predict the prognosis of HCC after LT in our clinical work.
