Pretreatment Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio Combined with Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio as a Predictor of Survival Outcomes after Definitive Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy for Cervical Cancer

The aim of the study was to evaluate pretreatment neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) as prognostic factors for predicting clinical outcomes after definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) for cervical cancer. The cases were divided into two groups based...

description The aim of the study was to evaluate pretreatment neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) as prognostic factors for predicting clinical outcomes after definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) for cervical cancer. The cases were divided into two groups based on the values of NLR and PLR: High NLR-PLR (high value in both NLR and PLR) and Low NLR-PLR (low value in either NLR or PLR). The relationships between survival outcomes and the pretreatment NLR-PLR were investigated. Of the 148 patients enrolled in the study, 30 patients died during the median follow-up of 75 months. Based on receiver operating curves, NLR and PLR cut-off values for survival analysis were 2.34 and 148.89. The 10-year overall survival and disease-free survival rates for high NLR-PLR vs. low NLR-PLR were 63.6% vs. 86.2% (p = 0.001) and 63.3% vs. 77.5% (p = 0.026), respectively. Based on a multivariate analysis, independent predictors of overall survival were high NLR-PLR (hazard ratio [HR], 2.435; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.106–5.361; p = 0.027) and stage (HR 2.659; 95% CI, 1.146–6.613; p = 0.024). Increases in both NLR and PLR are associated with poor survival. Elevation in both NLR and PLR before initiation of CCRT may be a useful biomarker for predicting clinical outcomes.
