Abstract
Objective
To analyze the prognostic value of N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and other biomarkers of inflammation in patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) treated with [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE (Lutathera®). The prognostic value of histological characteristics of the tumor was also analyzed.
Patients and methods
Prospective study of a cohort of patients with advanced and metastatic NETs treated with [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE. Before the administration of doses, NT-proBNP, hemoglobin, hematocrit, C-reactive protein, leukocytes, lymphocytes, neutrophils, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) have been determined. Overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) were calculated, using the Kaplan-Meier method, and curves were compared with a log-rank test. To determine the predictor variables of OS, a Cox regression model was fitted.
Results
48 NET patients treated with [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE. Median OS was 96 months and PFS was 29 months. Factors associated with lower OS were: NTproBNP values > 300 pg/mL (HR: 10.5; P = .005) in the subgroup of patients with grades 2-3, in addition to inflammatory indices NLR > 2 (HR: 3.87; P = .049) and PLR > 300 (HR: 11.88; P = .01) and higher tumor grade (HR: 6.45; P = .011). PLR > 300 (HR: 5.506; P = .003) was also associated with lower PFS. In contrast, higher levels of lymphocytes (HR: 0.21; P = .002), hemoglobin (HR: 0.65; P = .041) and hematocrit (HR: 0.862; P = .031) were associated with higher OS, without significant changes in PFS.
Conclusion
In patients with NETs treated with [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE, the determination of natriuretic factors (NT-ProBNP) and other inflammatory biomarkers may be useful as predictors of survival and prognostic factors.
