Prognostic impact of preoperative NLR and CA19-9 in pancreatic cancer.
BACKGROUND: Recently, several preoperative proinflammatory markers and nutritional factors such as neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and prognostic nutrition index (PNI) have been reported as significant predictor for poor prognosis of various malignant tumors. In this study, we evaluated the prognostic values of these preoperative parameters in patients with resectable pancreatic head cancer.
METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed consecutive patients who underwent PD for pancreatic head cancer between 2007 and 2012. A total of 46 patients were enrolled in this analysis. Preoperative parameters such as CRP, CA19-9, NLR and PNI at the time of presentation were recorded as well as overall survival. Cancer specific survival was assessed using Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression models were applied to evaluate the prognostic relevance of preoperative parameters. The correlations between CA19-9 values, NLR and pathological findings, first recurrence site were respectively reviewed.
RESULTS: In multivariable analysis preoperative high NLR (≧2.7) and high CA19-9 (≧230) were independent prognostic factors for poor survival (P value: 0.03 and 0.025, respectively). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis demonstrated the overall 2-year survival rate in patients with high NLR or high CA19-9 were 37.5% compared with 89.9% in patients with low NLR and low CA19-9.
CONCLUSION: Preoperative NLR and serum CA19-9 offer significant prognostic information associated with overall survival following PD in the patients with pancreatic head cancer.
