Objective The aim of this study was to determine the prognostic significance of the C-reactive protein-toalbumin
ratio (CRP/Alb) for stage IE/IIE upper aerodigestive tract extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma patients.
Methods One hundred and fourteen patients diagnosed with extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma at Sichuan
Cancer Hospital from September 2011 to November 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. An optimal cutoff
value of CRP/Alb for overall survival rate as an endpoint was obtained using the receiver operating curve
(ROC).
Results The optimal cutoff value of CRP/Alb was 0.15. For the low CRP/Alb group, the 3-year
progression-free survival (PFS) was 78.6% and the 3-year overall survival (OS) was 80.7%. The 3-year
PFS and OS values for the high CRP/Alb group were 41.6% and 45.2%, respectively. Differences for PFS
(P < 0.001) and OS (P < 0.001) between the two groups were statistically significant. Univariate analysis
showed that ECOG, IPI, CRP, GPS, and CRP/Alb were significantly associated with PFS. Similarly, all five
were also significantly associated with OS. Multivariate analysis further confirmed that ECOG and CRP/
Alb were independent prognostic factors for both PFS and OS. Moreover, the cutoff value of CRP/Alb
showed superior prognostic ability in discriminating between patients with different outcomes in low-risk
group based on GPS, IPI, and KPI scores.
Conclusion CRP/Alb is a promising prognostic marker for early-stage extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma. |
