Elevated NLR in gallbladder cancer and cholangiocarcinoma – making bad cancers even worse: results from the US Extrahepatic Biliary Malignancy Consortium

Abstract Background Gallbladder and extrahepatic biliary malignancies are aggressive tumors with high risk of recurrence and death. We hypothesize that elevated preoperative Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratios (NLR) are associated with poor prognosis among patients undergoing resection of gallbladder or ex...

description Abstract Background Gallbladder and extrahepatic biliary malignancies are aggressive tumors with high risk of recurrence and death. We hypothesize that elevated preoperative Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratios (NLR) are associated with poor prognosis among patients undergoing resection of gallbladder or extrahepatic biliary cancers. Methods Patients who underwent complete surgical resection between 2000–2014 were identified from 10 academic centers (n=525). Overall (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were analyzed by stratifying patients with normal (5) NLR. Results Overall, 375 patients had NLR 5. Median OS was 24.5 months among patients with NLR5 (p5, dyspnea and preoperative peak bilirubin were independently associated with OS in patients with gallbladder cancer. Median RFS was 26.8 months in patients with NLR5 (p=0.030). NLR>5 was independently associated with worse RFS for patients with gallbladder cancer. Conclusions Elevated NLR was associated with worse outcomes in patients with gallbladder and extrahepatic biliary cancers after curative-intent resection. NLR is easily measured and may provide important prognostic information.
