Prognostic value of nutritional risk screening 2002 scale in nasopharyngeal carcinoma: A large-scale cohort study.

ABSTRACT: Little is known about the value of the nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS2002) scale in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). We conducted a large-scale study to address this issue. We employed a big-data intelligence database platform at our center and identified 3232 eligible patients treated between 2009 and 2013. Of the 3232 (12.9% of 24 986) eligible patients, 469 (14.5%), 13 (0.4%), 953 (29.5%), 1762 (54.5%) and 35 (1.1%) had NRS2002 scores of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, respectively. Survival outcomes were comparable between patients with NRS2002 <3 and ?3 (original scale). However, patients with NRS2002 ?3 vs >3 (regrouping scale) had significantly different 5-year disease-free survival (DFS; 82.7% vs 75.0%, P < .001), overall survival (OS; 88.8% vs 84.1%, P = .001), distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS; 90.2% vs 85.9%, P = .001) and locoregional relapse-free survival (LRRFS; 91.6% vs 87.2%, P = .001). Therefore, we proposed a revised NRS2002 scale, and found that it provides a better risk stratification than the original or regrouping scales for predicting DFS (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.530 vs 0.554 vs 0.577; P < .05), OS (AUC = 0.534 vs 0.563 vs 0.582; P < .05), DMFS (AUC = 0.531 vs 0.567 vs 0.590; P < .05) and LRRFS (AUC = 0.529 vs 0.542 vs 0.564; P < .05 except scale A vs B). Our proposed NRS2002 scale represents a simple, clinically useful tool for nutritional risk screening in NPC.

Project description:BackgroundBlood-based immune-inflammation indexes have been widely used to predict survival in a variety of cancers. In this research, we seeked to evaluate a novel immune-inflammation marker, named the pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV), in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) undergoing definitive radiotherapy.MethodsA group of 377 patients with NPC was retrospectived analyzed. Clinical data and laboratory data were collected. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed in order to determine the optimal PIV cut-off value. Survival curves were estimated by Kaplan-Meier method, and prognostic variables were identified using a Cox regression model. Additionally, we developed a nomogram and assessed its acuracy using the concordance index (C-index) and a calibration curve.ResultsThe optimal PIV cut-off value was 146.24 according to ROC analysis. High PIV was related to poorer Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) score (p = 0.017), more advanced T (p＜0.001) and clinical stages (p = 0.024). In univariate analysis, older Age, poorer ECOG PS, higher Epstein-Barr virus DNA (EBV-DNA), advanced T, N and clinical stage, and higher PIV levels were related to patients' poorer overall survival (OS). Poorer ECOG PS, higher EBV-DNA, later T stage, later clinical stage, and higher PIV were associated with patients' poorer progression free survival (PFS). Male sex and later T stage were associated with patients' poorer locoregional recurrence free survival (LRRFS). Poorer ECOG PS, higher EBV-DNA, later T stage, later clinical stage, and higher PIV were associated with patients' poorer distant metastasis free survival (DMFS). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that PIV was an independent prognostic index for OS (HR 2.231, 95 % CI 1.241-4.011, P = 0.007), PFS (HR 1.664, 95 % CI 1.003-2.760, P = 0.049), and DMFS(HR 2.081, 95 % CI 1.071-4.044, P = 0.031). Nomogram C-indexes for the nomogram of OS were 0.684, and PFS were 0.62, respectively. Survival predictions and actual survival were consistent according to the calibration curve.ConclusionsPre-treatment PIV is a promising biomarker for predicting survival in patients with NPC.
