Abstract
Purpose: To explore the prognostic value of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in stage I non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) undergoing surgery. Patients and Methods. Between 2014 and 2016, a total of 190 patients with postoperative pathology of stage I NSCLC who underwent radical surgery at Nanjing Chest Hospital were studied. Clinical data were analyzed and classified into low-risk, moderate-risk, and high-risk groups based on independent risk factors to assess the prognosis.
Results: NLR was associated with histological type and gender, and patients with an elevated NLR have poor overall survival (OS). Lymphovascular invasion, red blood cell distribution width-standard deviation (RDW-SD), and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) were independent prognostic factors for progression-free survival (PFS) in postoperative patients with stage I NSCLC, while NLR, RDW-SD, and CEA were independent risk factors for OS. Both PFS and OS were shorter in the low-risk group than in the medium-risk and high-risk groups.
Conclusions: NLR, RDW-SD, CEA, and lymphovascular invasion are independent risk factors for postoperative prognosis in patients with stage I NSCLC, and the combination has a predictive value.
期刊介绍:
Canadian Respiratory Journal is a peer-reviewed, Open Access journal that aims to provide a multidisciplinary forum for research in all areas of respiratory medicine. The journal publishes original research articles, review articles, and clinical studies related to asthma, allergy, COPD, non-invasive ventilation, therapeutic intervention, lung cancer, airway and lung infections, as well as any other respiratory diseases.
