Is High Score of Preoperative Lactate Dehydrogenase to Albumin Ratio Predicting Poor Survivals in Esophageal Carcinoma Patients?
Purpose: The lactate dehydrogenase-to-albumin ratio (LAR) has been reported as a potential prognostic biomarker in various cancers; however, only a few pieces of information have been reported on esophageal cancer. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of preoperative LAR in patients with esophageal cancer.
Methods: This study included 236 patients (193 men and 43 women; mean age of 66 years [range, 41-83 years]) with esophageal cancer who underwent curative surgery between September 2008 and March 2020. A total of 107 patients underwent upfront surgery, and 129 patients received neoadjuvant treatment. Patients were assigned into two groups, high and low LAR, based on preoperative LAR using a cutoff value of 6.2. The clinicopathological and prognostic significance of preoperative LAR was evaluated in univariate and multivariate analyses.
Results: Patients with deep tumors and neoadjuvant treatment were significantly associated with high LAR (p <0.05). The high LAR group showed a significantly poorer prognosis than the low LAR group (p <0.01). The multivariate analysis for the overall survival showed that deep tumors, lymph node metastasis, and high LAR were independent poor prognostic factors (p <0.05).
Conclusion: High LAR was a useful poor prognostic biomarker in patients with esophageal cancer.
