Abstract   The effects of preoperative nutritional status and postoperative inflammatory response on esophageal cancer patients on prognosis were unclear. In the present study, we evaluated the preoperative nutritional parameters and postoperative inflammatory responses and analyzed relationship between these parameters and cancer prognosis. Methods One hundred and eleven esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients were analyzed with pathological TNM StageI-IV. Preoperative nutritional parameters: PNI (Prognostic Nutritional Index) was calculated from following formula:10 x Albumin(g/dl) +0.005 x peripheral lymphocyte counts (/mm3). Preoperative NLR (Neutrophil/Lymphocyte ratio) was defined as absolute neutrophil counts divided by the absolute lymphocyte counts. The highest CRP level was evaluated as postoperative inflammatory responses. Cut-off values of these continuous parameters were calculated by ROC, and univariate and multivariate analysis using Cox model for overall survival (OS) were examined in the parameters. Results Overall three or five years survivals were 60.9%, 56.28%, respectively. Cut-off value of PNI, CRP, NLR, Intraoperative blood loss were 44.8, 21.7 mg/dl,2.27,159 mL, respectively. High PNI group was significantly better survival than low group (3 years OS, 65.94 vs 45.82%, p < 0.05). No association between PNI and prognosis was noted for patients with pStageI, but the low PNI patients of pStageII-IV were extremely poor prognosis (p < 0.01). High CRP group was tendency to be worse survival than low group (3 years OS, 65.97 vs 38.82%, p = 0.062). The patients of low blood loss group was significantly better survival than high group (p < 0.05).NLR was not associated with OS. Cox model showed that pTNM, tumor location, and PNI were independent prognostic factors. Conclusion Preoperative nutritional status affected the prognosis of esophageal cancer patients. But, postoperative inflammatory response was not affected the prognosis of these patients. Preoperative nutritional interventions may improve the prognosis of patients with esophageal cancer.

Summary The present study aimed to investigate the prognostic effect of intratumoral and stromal exhausted tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) on operable esophageal cancer patients. We performed a retrospective cohort study by consecutively recruiting 142 patients with esophageal cancer. The proportion and cell counts of intratumoral and stromal PD-1+ TILs in tumor microenvironment were independently evaluated by two pathologists. Neither proportion nor cell counts of intratumoral PD-1+ TILs was associated with prognosis (p > 0.05). However, patients with the proportion of stromal PD1+ TILs >20% had the median overall survival (OS) at 19 months, significantly longer than those with the proportion = 20%. The adjusted hazard ratio (HR) was 1.49 (95%CI 0.82, 2.69). Patients with cell counts of stromal PD1+ TILs = 18/ high-power field (HPF) had the median disease-free survival (DFS) at 10 months. However, patients with cell counts>18/HPF had the median DFS at 48 months (p = 0.037), and the adjusted HR was 0.59 (95%CI 0.35, 1.01). Compared with patients with proportion = 20% and cell counts >18/HPF of stromal PD1+ TILs, patients with proportion = 20% and cell counts = 18/HPF, proportion >20% and cell counts >18/HPF, and proportion >20% and cell counts = 18/HPF, had the adjusted HRs increased to 3.73, 3.36 and 3.99 for DFS (p for trend being 0.030) and the adjusted HRs increased to 2.95, 3.64 and 3.82 (p for trend being 0.015) for OS, respectively. The integration of proportion and cell counts of PD-1+ stromal TILs has a significant association with the relapse and overall survival of esophageal cancer patients. Further prospective studies are warranted.

e15535 Background: Preoperative nutritional status in gastric cancer patients is not only correlated with postoperative complications, also, prognostic nutritional index or Onodera´s nutritional index (PNI) may relate with overall survival (OS) after gastrectomy. There is no available data of preoperative nutritional status in Mexican population. We decide to explore these variables and analyze its impact in outcomes reported in our population. Methods: This is a retrospective included a total of 91 patients patients with locally advanced gastric cancer confirmed by laparoscopy treated in the National Cancer Institute in México between January 2010 and June 2016. The PNI level was determined according the following formula: 10 x serum albumin (g/dl) + 0.005 x total lymphocyte count (per mm3). The optimal cutoff value of PNI in our population was set at 38.7 according the median, we stratified patients in high (PNI > 38.7) or low (PNI < 38.7) nutritional status, clinicopathologic features were compared. Results: We analyzed 91 patients, the mean patients age was 58, 61.5% were man, the 51.6% went to total gastrectomy with D2 dissection, 56% were pathologic stage III and 61.5% of the patients received adjuvant chemotherapy. The patients with high nutritional status had a OS of 46 months vs patients with low nutritional status with 25 months (p = 0.009). Patients with body mass index (BMI) > 23 had a OS of 41 months vs patients with BMI < 23 with 19 months of OS (p = 0.001), finally the patients with albumin > 3.75 had a 39 months of OS vs 23 months with albumin < 3.75 (p = 0.011) Conclusions: The low PNI group had worse OS than the high PNI group (46 months vs 25 months, p = 0.009). Preoperative is a simple and useful marker to predict overall survival in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer

Abstract Background The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) reflects immunonutritional status. We evaluated the effects of postoperative PNI and perioperative changes in the PNI on overall survival (OS) in glioblastoma (GBM) patients. Methods Demographic, laboratory, and clinical data were retrospectively collected from 335 GBM patients. Preoperative and postoperative PNIs were calculated from serum albumin concentration and lymphocyte count, which were measured within 3 weeks before surgery and 1 month after surgery. Patients were classified into high (n = 206) or low (n = 129) postoperative PNI groups according to the postoperative PNI cutoff value and further classified into four groups according to the cutoff values of the preoperative and postoperative PNIs, as follows: Group HH (both high PNIs, n = 92), Group HL (high preoperative and low postoperative PNI, n = 70), Group LH (low preoperative and high postoperative PNI, n = 37), and Group LL (both low PNIs, n = 136). Results The median OS was significantly longer in the high postoperative PNI (PNI ≥ 50.2) group than the low postoperative PNI (PNI < 50.2) group (24.0 vs. 15.0 months, p <  0.001). In multivariate analysis, high postoperative PNI was a significant predictor of OS. OS was significantly longer in Group HH than in Group LL and seemed longer in Group HH than in Group HL and in Group LH than in Group LL. OS was not different between Groups HH and LH or between Groups HL and LL. Conclusions High postoperative PNI was associated with improved OS and perioperative changes in PNI may provide additional important information for prognostic prediction in GBM patients.

Abstract Background There have been reported that nutritional status and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) are prognostic factor for esophageal cancer. Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) is one of the most widely used indicators for nutritional status and also shows systemic immune competence. Because TILs is related to peritumoral immune system, there may be relation between PNI and TILs. Methods Using a database of 300 curatively resected esophageal cancer from April 2005 to Jun 2013, we evaluated the relationship between PNI and TILs. PNI was calculated using serum albumin and total lymphocyte count. TILs were histologically estimated using postoperative samples. Studying the expression of CD8 and Foxp3 by immunohistochemical staining, we tried to reveal which subsets of lymphocyte were relevant to PNI. Results PNI high group (N = 198) experienced better overall survival (P < 0.001) and cancer specific survival (P < 0.001) compared with PNI low group (N = 102). PNI was significantly related to the TILs status (P < 0.01). CD8 positive lymphocyte was also significantly related to the PNI (P = 0.013) but Foxp3 wasn’t (P = 0.62). CD8 positive lymphocyte high group (N = 224) was significantly better in overall survival (P = 0.028) and cancer specific survival (P = 0.012) than low group (N = 76). There was no significant difference between Foxp3 high group (N = 225) and Foxp3 low group (N = 75) about overall survival (P = 0.87) and cancer specific survival (P = 0.90). Conclusion PNI was predictive prognostic marker for esophageal cancer and had relation to TILs status. It means systemic immune competence maybe affects peritumoral immune system. Among subsets of lymphocyte, CD8 positive lymphocyte had relation to PNI and was prognostic factor. In this study, Foxp3 didn’t have any relation to PNI and prognosis.
