PG - 4 LID - 10.3892/mco.2021.2437 [doi] LID - 4 AB - Oxidative stress serves an important role in carcinogenesis. The present study investigated the clinical significance of oxidative stress as a prognostic factor for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The participants comprised 55 consecutive patients with DLBCL. A commercially available derivatives of reactive oxygen metabolites (d-ROMs) test kit was used to assess oxidant levels. Similarly, a commercially available biological antioxidant potential (BAP) test was used to assess antioxidant levels. The antioxidative/oxidative stress ratio was calculated as d-ROMs/BAP. The median serum concentration of d-ROMs was 425 microM. The levels of d-ROMs were significantly higher in patients with DLBCL than in healthy volunteers (P<0.01). The complete remission (CR) rates in patients with d-ROMs <425 and >/=425 microM were 81.5 and 85.7%, respectively [not significant (NS)]. The 3-year overall survival (OS) rates for patients with d-ROMs <425 and >/=425 microM were 67.2 and 72.0%, respectively (NS). The median BAP was 2,002 microM. The CR rates of patients with BAP <2,002 and >/=2,002 microM were 77.8 and 88.9%, respectively (NS). The 3-year OS rates of patients with BAP <2,002 and >/=2,002 microM were 60.9 and 75.9%, respectively (NS). No significant difference in the d-ROMs/BAP ratio was observed between groups. Multivariate analysis revealed that d-ROMs were an independent prognostic factor for progression-free survival. CI - Copyright (c) 2020, Spandidos Publications.
