Abstract
Objective: Lung cancer, the most common cause of cancer-related death, is diagnosed mostly in advanced stages, and 5-year survival is approximately 5.8%. It is critical to identify reliable prognostic factors to optimize treatment responses, guide therapeutic strategies and pave the way to new research. In this study, we aimed to investigate the strongest prognostic factors for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 278 patients with NSCLC. We evaluated the association between potential prognostic factors and overall survival (OS) times using Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression analysis.
Results: The median OS in all patients was 15.3 months. In univariate analysis, gender, histologic type, performance status, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, hemoglobin level, serum albumin, sodium-globulin ratio (SGR), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), systemic immune inflammation index (SII), hemoglobin-albumin-lymphocyte-platelet score (HALP), and advanced lung cancer index (ALI) were associated with survival. Models were established for multivariate analyses. In the models, NLR, SGR, HALP, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status showed independent prognostic features (p < 0.001, p = 0.003, p = 0.002, p < 0.001, p = 0.010, and p = 0.025, respectively). In addition, in the subgroup analysis, prognostic indexes (NLR, SGR, and HALP) were found to have a prognostic effect on survival in multiple subgroups.
Conclusions: Pretreatment NLR, SGR, HALP, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, and ECOG performance status are independent prognostic factors for advanced NSCLC patients. These prognostic factors can be used in clinical practice as easily accessible, simple, and useful tools for clinicians.
期刊介绍：
Asia–Pacific Journal of Clinical Oncology is a multidisciplinary journal of oncology that aims to be a forum for facilitating collaboration and exchanging information on what is happening in different countries of the Asia–Pacific region in relation to cancer treatment and care. The Journal is ideally positioned to receive publications that deal with diversity in cancer behavior, management and outcome related to ethnic, cultural, economic and other differences between populations. In addition to original articles, the Journal publishes reviews, editorials, letters to the Editor and short communications. Case reports are generally not considered for publication, only exceptional papers in which Editors find extraordinary oncological value may be considered for review. The Journal encourages clinical studies, particularly prospectively designed clinical trials.
