Prognostic Impact of Preoperative Naples Prognostic Score in Gastric Cancer Patients Undergoing Surgery.

ABSTRACT: Background: The Naples prognostic score (NPS) is established according to nutritional or inflammatory state, which has been identified as a new prognostic score for various malignant tumors. However, its prognosis prediction effect on gastric cancer (GC) patients is still unknown so far. The present work aimed to examine the NPS function in the prediction of GC prognosis. Methods: In this study, patients undergoing surgery with no preoperative therapy were retrospectively examined from June 2011 to August 2019. Typically, the total cholesterol level, serum albumin content, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio were determined to calculate the NPS. Besides, the prognostic value of NPS was evaluated by survival analyses. Time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (t-ROC) curve analysis was also carried out to compare the prognostic value of the scoring systems. Results: Altogether 1,283 cases were enrolled into the present work. NPS was markedly related to age, gender, tumor size, body mass index, vascular invasion, perineural invasion, and pTNM stage. Upon multivariate analysis, NPS was identified as an independent prognostic factor for the prediction of overall survival (OS) (P < 0.001). In subgroup analyses stratified by adjuvant chemotherapy or surgery alone, NPS was still the independent prognostic factor for OS in both groups (both P < 0.001). Furthermore, NPS exhibited higher accuracy in the prediction of OS than additional prognostic factors, as revealed by the results of t-ROC curve analysis. Conclusions: NPS is a simple and useful scoring system that can be used to independently predict the survival of GC cases undergoing surgery.

Project description:IntroductionSeveral immunonutritional supplements have recently been developed. However, improvements in preoperative immunonutritional conditions using these supplements have not been analyzed in patients undergoing thoracic surgery.MethodsThis prospective, single-arm, single-institution pilot study involved patients planning to undergo thoracic surgery. Forty adults with a poor preoperative immunonutritional status were enrolled. The patients freely selected one of three oral immunonutritional supplements (IMPACTⓇ, MEINⓇ, or AboundⓇ) and started taking it on an outpatient basis from 7 to 14 days before thoracic surgery. The primary endpoint was the rate of improvement in three immunonutritional parameters on the hospitalization day: body mass index (BMI), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), and geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI). These improvement rates were compared with those of a matched historical control group.ResultsThe PNI and GNRI improvement rates were significantly higher in the immunonutritional support group than in the control group (PNI: 103.1% ± 0.6% vs. 98.9% ± 1.3%, p = 0.0391; GNRI: 101.7% ± 0.8% vs. 99.3% ± 0.8%, p = 0.0266), although there was no significant difference in the BMI improvement rate (101.0% ± 0.6% vs. 100.2% ± 0.7%, p = 0.3626). The PNI and GNRI improvement rates were significantly higher in the IMPACTⓇ support group than in the control group (PNI: 104.5% ± 2.4% vs. 98.9% ± 1.3%, p = 0.0212; GNRI: 101.6% ± 1.1% vs. 99.3% ± 0.8%, p = 0.0415).ConclusionsThe present study revealed that short-term preoperative immunonutritional support can actually improve immunonutritional parameters immediately before surgery. In particular, preoperative immunonutritional support using IMPACTⓇ supplementation might be the most promising agent in patients with a poor immunonutritional condition undergoing elective thoracic surgery.Trial registrationUniversity Hospital Medical Information Network 000035851.

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.

Project description:Oxidative stress plays an important role in the development of colorectal cancer (CRC). This study is aimed at developing and validating a novel scoring system, based on oxidative stress indexes, for prognostic prediction in CRC patients. A retrospective analysis of 1422 CRC patients who underwent surgical resection between January 2013 and December 2017 was performed. These patients were randomly assigned to the training set (n = 1022) or the validation set (n = 400). Cox regression model was used to analyze the laboratory parameters. The CRC-Integrated Oxidative Stress Score (CIOSS) was developed from albumin (ALB), direct bilirubin (DBIL), and blood urea nitrogen (BUN), which were significantly associated with survival in CRC patients. Furthermore, a survival nomogram was generated by combining the CIOSS with other beneficial clinical characteristics. The CIOSS generated was as follows: 0.074 × albumin (g/L), -0.094 × bilirubin (μmol/L), and -0.099 × blood urea nitrogen (mmol/L), based on the multivariable Cox regression analysis. Using 50% (0.1025) and 85% (0.481) of CIOSS as cutoff values, three prognostically distinct groups were formed. Patients with high CIOSS experienced worse overall survival (OS) (hazard ratio [HR] = 4.33; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.80-6.68; P < 0.001) and worse disease-free survival (DFS) (HR = 3.02; 95% CI, 1.96-4.64; P < 0.001) compared to those with low CIOSS. This predictive nomogram had good calibration and discrimination. ROC analyses showed that the CIOSS possessed excellent performance (AUC = 0.818) in predicting DFS. The AUC of the OS nomogram based on CIOSS, TNM stage, T stage, and chemotherapy was 0.812, while that of the DFS nomogram based on CIOSS, T stage, and TNM stage was 0.855. Decision curve analysis showed that these two prediction models were clinically useful. CIOSS is a CRC-specific prognostic index based on the combination of available oxidative stress indexes. High CIOSS is a powerful indicator of poor prognosis. The CIOSS also showed better predictive performance compared to TNM stage in CRC patients.
