The Relationship

Objective: Various studies have reported that the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in the serum (sNLR) may serve as a cost-effective and useful prognostic factor in patients with various cancer types. We investigated the clinical impact of NLR as a prognostic factor in malign pleural effusion (MPE) and sNLR on prognosis in MPE. Method: We retrospectively reviewed all of the patients who were diagnosed MPE. The relationship between sNLR and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in the malign pleural effusion (mNLR) value, age, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG), histopathologic type, serum albumin and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) with survival were investigated. Results: A total of 222 patients with a mean age of 65.7±11.5 were included in the study. Patients with a mNLR value ≥0.42 and a serum NLR value ≥4.75 had a shorter survival (p: 0.000). Multivariate analysis, which showed that survival was significantly related mNLR value > 0.42 and/or sNLR value > 4.75 (Odds Ratio (OR): 2.66, %95 CI, 1,65-4,3 p: 0.001), serum LDH > 210 (OR = 1.8, %95 CI, 1,33-2,46 p: 0.001) and age > 65 (OR = 1.9, %95 CI, 1,41-2,55 p = 0.001). Conclusion: sNLR and mNLR may act as a simple, useful, and cost-effective prognostic factor in patients with MPE. Furthermore, these results may serve as the cornerstone of further research into the mNLR in the future. Although further studies are required to generalize our results, this information will benefit clinicians and patients in determining the most appropriate therapy for patients with MPE.

e15111 Background: The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) in Peru has increased in the last decades. Needing to use all the possible tools for an accurate diagnosis and early treatment. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been associated as poor prognostic factor in OS and PFS in CRC. There is no data that support this statement in Latin America. It is of a special utility in our country the detection of a simple and reproducible prognostic biomarker that guides the use of more advanced tests. Our objective was to explore the factors associated with OS in the local-locally advanced and metastatic settings. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the electronic medical records of 609 patients with CRC from one specialized Peruvian cancer center between 2006 and 2016 Descriptive results for numeric variables were presented as means with standard deviation (SD) or medians with interquartile range (IQR), depending on their distributions; otherwise, we expressed the qualitative variables as numbers with percentages. We divided our population into two groups: Local-locally advanced (L-LA) (516 pts) and debut metastatic- recurrence (M-R) (108 pts). We performed a ROC curve analysis to determine an appropriate cut-off value for NLR in both groups (L-LA:NLR ≥3, M-R:NLR ≥5). A univariate survival analysis was performed with Kaplan Meier method, comparing the curves with Log Rank test. A multivariate analysis was performed using the Cox regression model with the statistically significant variables found in the univariate analysis. Results: Pts with high NLR had significantly shorter OS in L-LA [HR, 12.1; 95% CI,5.019-29.211; p < 0.001] M-R [HR, 5.382; 95% CI,2.835-10.217; p < 0.001] than pts with low NLR. In the multivariate model, NLR retained a significant association with OS in both groups. Cox regression demonstrated that in L-LA setting sex, histologic grade and lymph node involvement; and in M-R setting sidedness, histologic grade, LVI and metastasectomy performed were independently risk factors for a shorter OS. Conclusions: High NLR is associated with poor prognosis (with our cut-offs L-LA:NLR ≥3, M-R:NLR ≥5). There are other variables to be considered that affect the OS, as: sex, histologic grade and lymph node involvement, sidedness, histologic grade, LVI and metastasectomy performed.
