PG - 4216-4224 LID - 10.1002/jcp.26239 [doi] AB - The prognostic value of inflammation indexes in non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) was not established. Therefore, we assessed the clinical applicability of the F-NLR score, which is based on fibrinogen (F) and the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and the glasgow prognostic score (GPS) to predict the prognoses of NSCLC patients. We retrospectively identified 515 patients with stage I/II/IIIA who underwent surgery at our institution, and evaluated their preoperative serum levels of CRP, albumin, fibrinogen, neutrophil count, and the lymphocyte count. The cut-off values of the fibrinogen level and NLR were determined with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. GPS was classified into three groups as previously described. The disease free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Categorical variables were compared using the chi(2) test. Survival curves were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the Cox proportional hazard model was used to assess the prognostic factors. The F-NLR was significantly associated with sex (p = 0.000), smoking history (p = 0.014), lesion type (p = 0.000), histologic type (p = 0.000), T stage (p = 0.000), venous invasion (p = 0.000), lymphatic invasion (p = 0.000), and TNM stage (p = 0.000). The 5-year DFS rates in F-NLR groups 0, 1, and 2 were 46.7%, 36.4%, 30.1%, respectively (p = 0.000), and the 5-year overall survival (OS) rates in the above three groups were 52.0%, 39.8%, 32.1%, respectively (p = 0.000). Multivariate analysis showed that venous invasion (p = 0.036), lymph node metastasis (p = 0.000), and F-NLR (p = 0.034) were independent prognostic factors for DFS. Age (p = 0.015), venous invasion (p = 0.024), lymph node metastasis (p = 0.000), and F-NLR (p = 0.019) were independent prognostic factors for OS. Thus, F-NLR was the independent prognostic factor for both the DFS and OS. And patients with a high-risk preoperative F-NLR group may benefit from adjuvant therapy by subgroup analysis. Our results demonstrated that F-NLR, a novel inflammation-based grading system, as well as the GPS, appeared to have value as a promising clinical predictor of the prognosis for the resectable non small cell lung cancer patients.
