Abstract
Background
Systemic inflammatory response in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is closely related to disease prognosis. Our aim is to determine the role of pretreatment platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in predicting early treatment response in DLBCL patients.
Methods
This retrospective study included 94 patients. The correlation of PLR at the time of diagnosis with early treatment response was evaluated.
Results
66 patients responded to treatment and 28 patients were unresponsive or partially responsive. In univariate analysis, age, eastern cooperative oncology group performance status (ECOG-PS), disease stage, extranodal involvement, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), PLR, hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte, platelet (HALP) score were found to predict response to treatment. Multivariate analysis revealed that PLR and ECOG-PS were independent predictors of early treatment response.
Conclusion
PLR can be used by clinicians as an effective, inexpensive inflammatory parameter supplementary to the IPI score to predict early treatment response to chemoimmunotherapy. Treatment of patients with DLBCL with high PLR at the time of diagnosis with more potent regimens may be a rational approach for patients to benefit more from treatment.
期刊介绍:
Indian Journal of Hematology and Blood Transfusion is a medium for propagating and exchanging ideas within the medical community. It publishes peer-reviewed articles on a variety of aspects of clinical hematology, laboratory hematology and hemato-oncology. The journal exists to encourage scientific investigation in the study of blood in health and in disease; to promote and foster the exchange and diffusion of knowledge relating to blood and blood-forming tissues; and to provide a forum for discussion of hematological subjects on a national scale.
The Journal is the official publication of The Indian Society of Hematology & Blood Transfusion.
