Elevated neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio predicts poor prognosis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Elevated neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been reported to be associated with worse survival in many malignancies, whereas its role in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) remains unclear. We retrospectively reviewed 363 consecutively, newly diagnosed, non-disseminated, and biopsy-proven NPC patie...

description Elevated neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been reported to be associated with worse survival in many malignancies, whereas its role in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) remains unclear. We retrospectively reviewed 363 consecutively, newly diagnosed, non-disseminated, and biopsy-proven NPC patients. Disease-specific survival (DSS), distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS), and locoregional recurrence-free survival (LRFS) rates were compared according to NLR level. Multivariate analysis was performed to assess the prognostic value of NLR. The 5-year DSS, DMFS, and LRFS rates for patients with elevated or non-elevated NLR (> or ≤3.73) were 59.6% vs. 76.6% ( p  = 0.03), 69.7% vs. 86.6% ( p  = 0.002), and 78.5% vs. 87.3% ( p  = 0.105), respectively. For patients with locoregionally advanced disease, NLR was not only an independent prognostic factor, but also a predictor of response to chemoradiotherapy. The 5-year DSS, DMFS, and LRFS rates for patients with elevated or non-elevated NLR were 47.2% vs. 73.7% ( p
