The predictive and prognostic role of a novel ADS score in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients undergoing esophagectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chronic inflammation is deemed to play a significant effect on initiation and progression of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). In current study, we investigated the prognostic and predictive role of albumin (Alb) to fibrinogen (Fib) ratio (AFR) and a novel AFR-Alb-derived neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (dNLR) score (ADS) in ESCC patients undergoing esophagectomy and compared them with Fib, Alb, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), dNLR, platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and lymphocyte to monocyte ratio (LMR).

Materials and methods

A total of 153 clinical confirmed ESCC patients undergoing esophagectomy between January 2011 and December 2013 were included in present study. We detected preoperative Alb, Fib and neutrophil, monocyte, lymphocyte and platelet count, and obtained overall survival (OS) by 3 years' follow-up in the cases. X-tile software, Kaplan-Meier curve, Cox regression and predicted nomogram were used to evaluate the predictive and prognostic role of them in ESCC patients.

Results

The optimal cut-off values of Fib, Alb, AFR, NLR, dNLR, PLR and LMR were 3.2 mg/dL, 38.2 g/L, 9.3, 2.1, 4.3, 145.9 and 2.3, respectively. High levels of Fib [(adjusted hazard ratio (HR)?=?2.148, 95% confidential interval (CI) (1.229-3.753)], dNLR (adjusted HR?=?2.338, 95% CI 1.626-5.308) and PLR (adjusted HR?=?1.964, 95% CI 1.129-3.415) as well as low AFR (adjusted HR?=?2.381, 95% CI 1.152-4.926) and Alb (adjusted HR?=?2.398, 95% CI 1.342-4.273) were significantly associated with decreased OS in ESCC patients. The survival predictive areas under the time-dependent receiver operating characteristics curve of AFR, dNLR and Alb were higher than Fib and PLR, respectively. High ADS score was significantly associated with short 3 years' OS of ESCC patients (adjusted HR?=?2.94, 95% CI 1.70-5.08). Moreover, OS of ESCC patients receiving adjuvant radio-chemotherapy was longer than those without the treatment in high ADS score subgroup (p?=?0.001), however, no significant survival difference was observed in the patients with or without treatment radio-chemotherapy (p?=?0.297). Additionally, a significant difference was observed in c-index values of the nomograms including or without ADS (0.720 vs. 0.670, p?ConclusionsPreoperative ADS was a prospective biomarker to predict clinical efficacy of adjuvant radio-chemotherapy and clinical prognosis of ESCC patients undergoing esophagectomy, and the score could apparently improve predicted efficacy of the nomogram.

Project description:BackgroundA variety of nutritional evaluation parameters has been documented as prognostic indicators in some malignancies. However, the prognostic significance of the controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score, as one of these nutritional indices, in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains unclear and warrants investigation. Our study sought to elucidate the prognostic value of this nutritional index in ESCC patients who underwent neoadjuvant therapy followed by esophagectomy.MethodsThis retrospective study encompassed 314 patients diagnosed with ESCC who underwent neoadjuvant therapy followed by esophagectomy at West China Hospital of Sichuan University between August 2016 and August 2021. CONUT scores were computed at two specific time points: prior to neoadjuvant therapy initiation and before surgery, utilizing serum albumin, total lymphocyte, and cholesterol levels of ESCC patients. Furthermore, the delta CONUT (ΔCONUT) score was derived by subtracting the preoperative CONUT score from the pretreatment CONUT score. The associations between CONUT scores and various survival outcomes were evaluated using Kaplan-Meier methods and Cox regression analysis.ResultsPatients with a high preoperative CONUT score demonstrated a higher postoperative complication rate [odds ratio (OR) =2.009, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.150-3.510, P=0.01] compared to those in the low CONUT group. Multivariate analysis revealed that a ΔCONUT score ≥0 served as an independent negative prognostic indicator for increased postoperative complications (OR =3.008, 95% CI: 1.509-5.999, P=0.002) and poorer overall survival [hazard ratio (HR) =2.388, 95% CI: 1.052-5.422, P=0.04] in ESCC patients who underwent neoadjuvant therapy combined with esophagectomy.ConclusionsA high preoperative CONUT score and a ΔCONUT score ≥0 were indicative of a poor prognostic nutritional status in ESCC patients who had undergone neoadjuvant therapy followed by esophagectomy.

Project description:BackgroundNaples prognostic score (NPS) serves as a new prognostic index based on nutritional and inflammatory status in recent years. The aim of the current study was to explore the prognostic effect of NPS and to develop and validate a reliable nomogram based on NPS for individual cancer-specific survival (CSS) prediction in patients with resected ESCC without neoadjuvant therapy.MethodsThe clinical data for 287 (Jan. 2010 to Jun. 2012, Training sets) and 118 (Jan. 2015 to Dec 2015, Validation sets) consecutive resected ESCC cases were retrospectively analyzed. Two NPS models based on the different cut-off values of parameters were compared. Cut-off values in model 1 were derived from previous published studies, while cut-off values in model 2 were obtained in this study based on receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. The relationships between NPS and clinical characteristics and CSS were analyzed. The prediction model of nomogram was developed with independent prognostic factors in the training sets and was validated in the validation sets.ResultsThe 5-year CSS for NPS 0, 1 and 2 were 61.9%, 34.6% and 13.4% in model 1 and 75.0%, 42.4% and 13.0% in model 2, respectively (P<0.001). Subgroup analyses revealed that NPS was also significantly associated with CSS in both model 1 and model 2 in different TNM stages. Multivariate analyses revealed that NPS was an independent prognostic marker regarding CSS in patients with resected ESCC (P<0.001). A predictive nomogram based on NPS was established and validated. The C-indexes of the nomogram in the training sets and validation sets were 0.68 and 0.72 in model 1 and 0.69 and 0.73 in model 2, respectively. These results confirmed that NPS-based nomogram was a more accurate and effective tool for predicting CSS in patients with resected ESCC.ConclusionThe current study confirmed that NPS was still a useful independent prognostic score in patients with resected ESCC. The NPS-based nomogram was successfully developed and validated, which may contribute to individual CSS prediction for resected ESCC patients.
