Abstract
BACKGROUND Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCL) are an aggressive group of mature T-cell neoplasms, often associated with poor outcomes, in part, due to frequent relapsed/refractory disease. The objective of this study was to assess the prognostic impact of disease progression within 24 months (POD24) on overall survival (OS) for patients diagnosed with PTCL. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on a cohort of patients with newly diagnosed PTCL who underwent chemotherapy at the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University between January 2010 and September 2021. Prognostic assessment was limited to patients who were evaluable for POD24. RESULTS Records were reviewed for 106 patients with PTCL, of whom 66 patients experienced POD24 (referred to as the POD24 group) and 40 patients did not experience POD24 (referred to as the no POD24 group). Significant differences were observed between the POD24 group and the no POD24 group in regard to clinical stage, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS), International Prognostic Index (IPI) score, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels, β2-microglobulin (β2-MG) levels, prealbumin and albumin levels. Patients in the POD24 group had a significant shorter median OS compared to the no POD24 group (11.9 months vs not reached, respectively; P < 0.001). Non response (NR) to treatment and POD24 were identified as independent negative prognostic factors for survival in patients with PTCL. CONCLUSION POD24 is a prognostic factor associated with unfavorable outcomes in patients with PTCL and can be used to identify high-risk patients and guide treatment decisions.

Sleep and liver function biomarkers in relation to risk of incident liver cancer: a nationwide prospective cohort study. BMC Med 2024; 22:261. [PMID: 38915009 PMCID: PMC11197319 DOI: 10.1186/s12916-024-03440-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2024] [Accepted: 05/24/2024] [Indexed: 06/26/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To assess the largely undetermined separate and joint effects of sleep and liver function biomarkers on liver cancer. METHODS Data of 356,894 participants without cancer at baseline in the UK Biobank were analyzed. Sleep score was evaluated using five sleep traits (sleep duration, chronotype, insomnia, snoring, and excessive daytime sleepiness) and dichotomized into healthy or unhealthy sleep. Circulating liver function biomarkers were measured. Cox proportional hazard model was performed to investigate the independent and joint associations of sleep and liver function biomarkers with liver cancer incidence. RESULTS After a median follow-up time of 13.1 years, 394 cases of incident liver cancer were documented. The multivariable-adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for liver cancer was 1.46 (95% confidence interval: 1.15-1.85) associated with unhealthy sleep (vs. healthy sleep), and was 1.17 (1.15-1.20), 1.20 (1.18-1.22), 1.69 (1.47-1.93), 1.06 (1.06-1.07), 1.08 (1.07-1.09), 1.81 (1.37-2.39), or 0.29 (0.18-0.46) associated with each 10-unit increase in alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), total bilirubin (TBIL), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total protein (TP), or albumin (ALB), respectively. Individuals with unhealthy sleep and high (≥ median) ALT, AST, TBIL, GGT, ALP, or TP or low (< median) ALB level had the highest HR of 3.65 (2.43-5.48), 4.03 (2.69-6.03), 1.97 (1.40-2.77), 4.69 (2.98-7.37), 2.51 (1.75-3.59), 2.09 (1.51-2.89), or 2.22 (1.55-3.17) for liver cancer, respectively. Significant additive interaction of unhealthy sleep with high TP level on liver cancer was observed with relative excess risk due to an interaction of 0.80 (0.19-1.41). CONCLUSIONS Unhealthy sleep was associated with an increased risk of liver cancer, especially in participants with lower ALB levels or higher levels of ALT, AST, TBIL, GGT, ALP, or particularly TP.

Asian Nurs Res (Korean Soc Nurs Sci) 2024; 18:178-187. [PMID: 38723775 DOI: 10.1016/j.anr.2024.04.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2024] [Revised: 04/30/2024] [Accepted: 04/30/2024] [Indexed: 06/05/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Radiation-induced dermatitis (RD) is a common side-effect of therapeutic ionizing radiation that can severely affect patient quality of life. This study aimed to develop a risk prediction model for the occurrence of RD in patients with cervical carcinoma undergoing chemoradiotherapy using electronic medical records (EMRs). METHODS Using EMRs, the clinical data of patients who underwent simultaneous radiotherapy and chemotherapy at a tertiary cancer hospital between 2017 and 2022 were retrospectively collected, and the patients were divided into two groups: a training group and a validation group. A predictive model was constructed to predict the development of RD in patients who underwent concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy for cervical cancer. Finally, the model's efficacy was validated using a receiver operating characteristic curve. RESULTS The incidence of radiation dermatitis was 89.5% (560/626) in the entire cohort, 88.6% (388/438) in the training group, and 91.5% (172/188) in the experimental group. The nomogram was established based on the following factors: age, the days between the beginning and conclusion of radiotherapy, the serum albumin after chemoradiotherapy, the use of single or multiple drugs for concurrent chemotherapy, and the total dose of afterloading radiotherapy. Internal and external verification indicated that the model had good discriminatory ability. Overall, the model achieved an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of .66. CONCLUSIONS The risk of RD in patients with cervical carcinoma undergoing chemoradiotherapy is high. A risk prediction model can be developed for RD in cervical carcinoma patients undergoing chemoradiotherapy, based on over 5 years of EMR data from a tertiary cancer hospital.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) on the prognosis of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) remains unclear. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to discuss the value of the GNRI in evaluating long-term outcomes in DLBCL. METHODS We systematically and roundly retrieved PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Scopus and Web of Science electronic databases from inception of the databases to March 20, 2023. At the same time, we calculated the pool hazard ratios (HRs) with their 95% confidence interval (CI) for overall survival and progression-free survival to assess the effect of GNRI on the prognosis of DLBCL patients. RESULTS In our primary meta-analysis, 7 trials with a total of 2448 patients were enrolled. Results showed that lower level of GNRI was related to poorer overall survival (HR = 1.78, 95% CI 1.27, 2.50, p < 0.01) and worse progression-free survival (HR = 2.31, 95% CI 1.71, 3.13, p < 0.01) in DLBCL patients. CONCLUSION The results of our meta-analysis indicate that a lower GNRI significantly associated with poorer prognosis for DLBCL. It is believed that GNRI was a promisingly predictive indicator of survival outcomes in DLBCL patients. However, large multicenter prospective studies are necessary to verify the results.

Abstract
Different prognostic scores have been applied to identify patients with non-small cell lung cancer who have a higher probability of poor outcomes. In this study, we evaluated whether the Naples Prognostic Score, a novel index that considers both inflammatory and nutritional values, was associated with long-term survival. This study presents a retrospective propensity score matching analysis of patients who underwent curative surgery for non-small cell lung cancer from January 2016 to December 2021. The score considered the following four pre-operative parameters: the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio, serum albumin, and total cholesterol. The Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression analysis were performed to evaluate the relationship between the score and disease-free survival, overall survival, and cancer-related survival. A total of 260 patients were selected for the study, though this was reduced to 154 after propensity score matching. Post-propensity Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a significant correlation between the Naples Prognostic Score, overall survival (p = 0.018), and cancer-related survival (p = 0.007). Multivariate Cox regression analysis further validated the score as an independent prognostic indicator for both types of survival (p = 0.007 and p = 0.010, respectively). The Naples Prognostic Score proved to be an easily achievable prognostic factor of long-term survival in patients with non-small cell lung cancer after surgical treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Plasma cell neoplasms are a group of hematologic neoplasms that often develop in the elderly population. The relationship between cholesterol levels and hematologic malignancy has been identified in population studies. However, it is still unclear if there is a relationship between cholesterol levels and plasma cell neoplasm in European ancestry. METHODS Prospective cohorts included 502,507 individuals from the UK Biobank who were followed up to 2019 and assessed total cholesterol(TC) levels, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels, apolipoprotein A (ApoA) and apolipoprotein B (ApoB) as risk factors for plasma cell neoplasms with Cox proportional hazard regression and restricted cubic spline model. We also used two-sample Mendelian randomization to determine if the cholesterol level has a causal effect on developing plasma cell neoplasms. RESULTS We observed 1819 plasma cell neoplasm cases during 14.2 years of follow-up in the UK Biobank. We found higher blood serum cholesterol levels at baseline were associated with a lower risk of plasma cell neoplasm in our study. All lipid profiles we analyzed in this study were inversely associated with plasma cell neoplasm risk (all ptrend <0.005) but triglycerides did not have such association. However, there was no suggestive association of genetically predicted serum LDL, HDL, and total cholesterol levels with multiple myeloma. CONCLUSION Low serum total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, ApoA, and ApoB levels were all associated with increasing the risk of plasma cell neoplasm.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Although several studies have found dietary intake is related to multiple myeloma (MM) and its precursor status risks, the role of one's nutritional status has been ignored and its role in plasma cell neoplasm development is still unclear. This study aimed to explore the relationship between various clinical indices of nutritional status and the risk of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) in the population. METHODS We selected 9520 participants from the NHANES III and NHANES 1999-2004 studies. Controlling nutritional status index (CONUT), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) and body mass index (BMI) were calculated as indices of nutritional status of the participants. Associations between nutritional indices and MGUS were investigated using multiple logistic regression, subgroup analysis, and an RCS model. RESULTS In our study, 266 participants had MGUS, with a prevalence of 2.79%. This study found that CONUT and PNI identified populations with poor nutritional status and had a significant positive correlation with the risk of MGUS. In multivariate logistic regression, compared with the lower CONUT score (<3) group, the OR for the group with higher scores (≥3) was 1.805 (95%CI: 1.271, 2.564). Compared with the lowest quartile group, the highest quartile PNI score group had an OR of 0.509 (95%CI: 0.290, 0.896). GNRI had no significant correlation with the risk of MGUS, with an OR of 0.737 (95%CI: 0.443, 1.227). CONCLUSION This study found that older adults with CONUT and PNI scores indicating poorer nutrition had a higher risk of MGUS.

Associations of Albumin and BMI with Colorectal Cancer Risk in the Southern Community Cohort Study: a Prospective Cohort Study. J Racial Ethn Health Disparities 2023:10.1007/s40615-023-01797-x. [PMID: 37733284 PMCID: PMC10954588 DOI: 10.1007/s40615-023-01797-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2023] [Revised: 09/05/2023] [Accepted: 09/07/2023] [Indexed: 09/22/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity may increase colorectal cancer (CRC) risk through mechanisms of increased inflammation. Although BMI is the most used adiposity indicator, it may less accurately measure adiposity in Black populations. Herein, we investigate associations between BMI, low albumin as an inflammation biomarker, and CRC risk in a racially diverse cohort. METHODS Participant data arise from 71,141 participants of the Southern Community Cohort Study, including 724 incident CRC cases. Within the cohort, 69% are Black. Blood serum albumin concentrations, from samples taken at enrollment, were available for 235 cases and 567 controls. Controls matched by age, sex, and race were selected through incidence density sampling. Cox proportional hazards calculated BMI and CRC risk associations (hazard ratios [HRs]; 95% confidence intervals [CIs]. Conditional logistic regression calculated albumin and CRC risk associations (odds ratios [ORs]; 95%CIs). RESULTS Underweight, but not overweight or obese, compared to normal BMI was associated with increased CRC risk (HR:1.75, 95%CI:1.00-3.09). Each standard deviation increase of albumin was associated with decreased CRC risk, particularly for those who self-identified as non-Hispanic Black (OR: 0.56, 95%CI:0.34-0.91), or female (OR:0.54, 95%CI:0.30-0.98), but there was no evidence for interaction by these variables (p-interactions > 0.05). Moreover, albumin concentration was lower in Black than White participants. Mediation analysis suggested that the relation between albumin and CRC was not mediated by BMI. CONCLUSIONS Null associations of overweight/obesity with CRC risk demonstrates limited utility of BMI, especially among Black populations. Low albumin may indicate CRC risk. In Black individuals, albumin may better predict adiposity related risks than BMI.

Abstract
The conventional mechanical biosensor based on stress and electrical conversion can be an effective method to detect key human biomarkers for clinical diagnosis and early disease prevention. However, the applications of this type of biosensor are greatly limited due to their unsatisfactory sensitivity. In this work, a magnetic-sensitized (MS) mechanical biosensor based on multi-field coupling was developed for higher sensitivity, giving access to detect human serum albumin (HSA). Via introducing secondary magnetic antibodies labeled with magnetized Fe2O3 nanoparticles to the stress and electrical conversion element of the MS-biosensor, the multi-field coupling was realized based on stress, electricity, and magnetism. Under the action of the magnetic field, the magnetic force of the secondary magnetic antibody and the stress of antigen-antibody binding jointly drove and enhanced the deformation of the MS-biosensor, amplifying the electrical signal, and realizing magnetic sensitization. The HSA was detected by the MS-biosensor at a range of 0-80 μg/mL with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.14 μg/mL, demonstrating the high performance of the MS-biosensor. Moreover, the MS-biosensor showed high selectivity, specificity, and stability, indicating that the magnetic sensitization strategy of the MS-biosensor was significant for the clinical application of mechanical biosensors.

Abstract
Objective Although the survival rate of patients who undergo surgery for gastric cancer has greatly improved, still many patients have a poor prognosis. This retrospective study aimed to investigate the predictive ability of the PNI-IgM score, a combined prognostic nutritional index (PNI), and immunoglobulin M (IgM), on the prognosis of patients undergoing surgery for gastric cancer. Methods 340 patients with gastric cancer who underwent surgery from January 2016 to December 2017 were selected. The PNI-IgM score ranged from 1 to 3: score of 1, low PNI (< 48.45) and low IgM (< 0.87); score of 2, low PNI and high IgM, or high PNI and low IgM; score of 3, high PNI and high IgM. We compared the differences in disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) among the three groups, while univariate and multivariate analyses calculated prognostic factors for DFS and OS. In addition, the nomograms were constructed based on the results of multivariate analysis to estimate the 1-, 3- and 5-year survival probability. Results There were 67 cases in the PNI-IgM score 1 group, 160 cases in the PNI-IgM score 2 group, and 113 cases in the PNI-IgM score 3 group. The median survival times of DFS in the PNI-IgM score group 1, the PNI-IgM score group 2, and the PNI-IgM score group 3 were 62.20 months, not reached, and not reached, and 67.57 months vs. not reached vs. not reached in three groups for OS. Patients in the PNI-IgM score group 1 had a lower DFS than the PNI-IgM score group 2 (HR = 0.648, 95% CI: 0.418-1.006, P = 0.053) and the PNI-IgM score group 3 (HR = 0.337, 95% CI: 0.194-0.585, P < 0.001). In stratified analysis, PNI-IgM score 1 had a worse prognosis in the age < 60 years group and CA724 < 2.11 U/m group. Conclusion PNI-IgM score is a novel combination of nutritional and immunological markers that can be used as a sensitive biological marker for patients with gastric cancer who undergo surgery. The lower the PNI-IgM score, the worse the prognosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Intracranial artery stenosis from atherosclerosis is one of the etiologies of ischemic stroke. There is a correlation between serum albumin level and atherosclerosis. We aimed to investigate whether serum albumin level is related to intracranial atherosclerosis and its significance. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 150 individuals who underwent cervical cerebral angiography after admission, including clinical data, imaging data, and laboratory data. Since atherosclerosis cannot be used as a good quantitative indicator, we choose the degree of arterial stenosis to reflect atherosclerosis. SPSS 24 software was used for data analysis, and P < .05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS Univariate analysis showed that age, diabetes, and serum albumin level were risk factors for intracranial atherosclerosis (P < .05). Multivariate analysis showed that diabetes and serum albumin levels were independent risk factors for intracranial atherosclerosis (P< 0.05). The average serum albumin level in the non-severe group was 39.80 g/L, and the average serum albumin level in the severe group was 37.60 g/L. The area under the ROC curve of serum albumin was 0.667 (95%CI 0.576-0.758, P = .001), the cutoff value was 0.332176, the sensitivity was 75.9%, and the specificity was 57.3%. CONCLUSION Serum albumin level is an independent risk factor for intracranial atherosclerosis, and provides a new direction for clinical prevention and treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) is a nutritional index for elderly patients that is associated with prognosis in cancer patients. We investigated using the GNRI in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer to predict prognosis. METHODS This study included 419 metastatic colorectal cancer patients who received first-line chemotherapy between February 2005 and December 2020. First, we calculated pre-treatment GNRI and divided the patients into four groups according to the values (G1-G4). We evaluated patient characteristics and overall survival in the four groups. RESULTS Overall, 419 patients were included. The median follow-up was 34.4 months. Lower GNRI was positively associated with a lower grade Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (p = 0.009), synchronous metastases (p < 0.001), primary tumor resection prior to chemotherapy (p = 0.006), and did not undergo resection after chemotherapy (p < 0.001). Patients with low GNRI had significantly shorter overall survival than the group with high GNRI (median OS: G1 = 19.3 months [M], G2 = 30.8 M, G3 = 38 M, G4 = 39.7 M; log-rank test, p < 0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that GNRI was an independent prognostic factor (G3: HR = 0.49, 95% CI = 0.35-0.69; G4: HR = 0.67, 95% CI = 0.48-0.93). In the subgroup analysis of overall survival, we found no interaction between clinicopathological factors and the prognostic value of GNRI. Interestingly, younger patients (< 70 years) but not older patients showed a significant difference in overall survival according to GNRI, despite being the metric being designed for elderly patients. CONCLUSION Pretreatment GNRI can be a prognostic marker for patients with mCRC who received systemic chemotherapy.

Additional diagnostic value of the monocyte to red blood cell count ratio and the product of lymphocyte count and albumin concentration in lung cancer management. Oncol Lett 2023; 25:135.

Abstract
The present study aimed to evaluate the potential of the monocyte to red blood cell count ratio (MRR), the neutrophil to red blood cell count ratio (NRR), the lymphocyte to red blood cell count ratio (LRR) and the product of lymphocyte count and albumin concentration (LA) for the diagnosis of lung cancer. The cases of 216 patients with newly diagnosed lung cancer and 184 healthy volunteers were retrospectively analysed. The MRR and NRR were found to be higher in patients with lung cancer compared with those in healthy controls, while the LRR and LA were lower. The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed that of the four markers, the MRR and LA yielded a higher area under the curve (AUC) (MRR: AUC, 0.810; 95% CI, 0.768-0.847; and LA: AUC, 0.721; 95% CI, 0.674-0.764). The combination of MRR, LA, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and cytokeratin 19 fragment antigen 21-1 (CYFRA21-1) achieved the highest diagnostic value when compared with other single or combined markers (AUC, 0.882; 95% CI, 0.846-0.912; sensitivity, 81.9%; specificity, 81.0%). As the disease progressed, the MRR tended to increase, while LA exhibited a decreasing trend. Binary logistic regression analysis revealed an increase in the MRR, as well as in CEA and CYFRA21-1 concentrations, and a decrease in the LA, which could all be possible risk factors for lung cancer. Differences in the MRR and LA between patients with early stage (IA-IIIA) lung cancer and healthy controls were observed. Further analysis revealed that the MRR also exhibited the potential to detect early stage (IA-IIIA) lung cancer in the model. The present findings demonstrated that the MRR and LA may be used as auxiliary biomarkers for the diagnosis of lung cancer and could partly indicate disease progression.

Abstract
This study aimed to construct an effective nomogram based on the clinical and oxidative stress-related characteristics to predict the prognosis of stage I lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). A retrospective study was performed on 955 eligible patients with stage I LUAD after surgery at our hospital. The relationship between systematic-oxidative-stress biomarkers and the prognosis was analyzed. The systematic oxidative stress score (SOS) was established based on three biochemical indicators, including serum creatinine (CRE), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and uric acid (UA). SOS was an independent prognostic factor for stage I LUADs, and the nomogram based on SOS and clinical characteristics could accurately predict the prognosis of these patients. The nomogram had a high concordance index (C-index) (0.684, 95% CI, 0.656–0.712), and the calibration curves for recurrence-free survival (RFS) probabilities showed a strong agreement between the nomogram prediction and actual observation. Additionally, the patients were divided into two groups according to the cut-off value of risk points based on the nomogram, and a significant difference in RFS was observed between the high-risk and low-risk groups (p < 0.0001). SOS is an independent prognostic indicator for stage I LUAD. These things considered, the constructed nomogram based on SOS could accurately predict the survival of those patients.

Abstract
Existing treatments are frequently ineffective in combating liver cancer (LC) due to its rapid growth, high metastatic potential, and chemoresistance. Thus, inducing ferroptosis, a new non-apoptotic regulated cell death-dependent massive iron overload-mediated lipid peroxidation, is an alternative effective approach for treating LC. The efficient trigger of ferroptosis requires blocking cellular antioxidant (anti-ferroptosis) response and selectivity to avoid harming other healthy tissues. In this study, green chemically synthesized ferrous oxide nanoparticles (F(II) NPs) were used for enhancing selective iron accumulation in tumor tissue, while diethyldithiocarbamate (DE) was for inhibiting the antioxidant system (glutathione and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) 2) which protects the tumor from damage-dependent lipid peroxides. Thus, F(II) NPs were used with DE as nanocomplex (DF(II) NPs) and its anti-LC activity compared to ferrous oxide DF(II). DF(II) NPs outperformed the typical complex of DF(II) in eradicating metastatic LC cells in HepG2 cells and a chemically induced metastatic LC animal model, as evidenced by flow cytometry, histological and immunohistochemical analyses, and α-fetoprotein depletion. The superior therapeutic potency-dependent ferroptotic activity of DF(II) NPs, attributed to their higher selective accumulation (∼77%) than DF(II) in tumor tissues (liver and lung), resulted in a strong elevation of cellular lipid peroxidation with extreme suppression of nuclear related factor 2 (Nrf2) transcriptional activity, glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase 4, and ALDH2. Subsequently, a severe inhibition in the expression of oncogenes and metastatic cancer stem cell genes was recorded in DF(II) NPs-treated LC animal group. In contrast to DF(II), DF(II) NPs were able to normalize liver functions and did not show any variations in hematological and histological parameters in the blood and tissues of DF(II) NPs-treated normal mouse group. These findings validate the potency and safety of DF(II) nanocomplex as a promising nanodrug for combating metastatic LC.

Abstract
Background: Naples Prognostic Score (NPS) is a novel score based on inflammatory-nutritional indicators. We aimed to analyze the prognostic value of the Naples Prognostic Score in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients following surgery. Methods: A total of 319 NSCLCpatients following surgery were analyzed in the retrospective cohort study. We analyzed the predictive value of Naples Prognostic Score for overall survival and recurrence-free survival in postoperative non-small cell lung cancer patients by using Kaplan-Meier survival curves and multivariate Cox regression analysis. At the same time, the time-dependent ROC and the area under curves were also created to compare the accuracy of different scoring systems. Results: According to NPS, we divided all patients into 3 groups,120 patients were divided into group 0, 161 patients were divided into group 1, and 38 patients were divided into group 2. The median survival time for all patients is 32 months, and the median survival times for different groups were 35 months, 31 months, and 28 months, respectively. The overall survival and recurrence-free survival survival curves of different groups were significantly different (both P < .05), and patients in the higher NPS groups had a disappointing prognosis. NPS may be an independent prognostic factor for overall survival and recurrence-free survival, according to the results of multivariate analysis (both P < .05). The area under curve showed that the accuracy of the NPS was significantly better than other score systems. Conclusions: The NPS is closely related to the long-term survival prognosis of patients with NSCLC, especially in stage III patients.

Abstract
Objective The preoperative nutritional status of cancer patients is closely related to prognosis. The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) has been shown to predict the prognosis of a variety of tumors, but its study in pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (pNENs) is lacking. The aim of the present study is to investigate the predictive value of the preoperative PNI for postoperative progression in patients with pNENs. Methods The medical records of 181 patients with pNENs, who underwent surgery, were retrospectively analyzed. A time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to determine the optimal cut-off value of the preoperative PNI. Correlations between the preoperative PNI and clinicopathological parameters were analyzed using multiple linear regression. A Kaplan-Meier curve was applied to assess the progression-free survival (PFS) rate, which was tested using a log rank. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional risk regression models were used to analyze the predictive value of the preoperative PNI on prognosis. Results The optimal cut-off value of the preoperative PNI was 48.275. The patients were divided into a high PNI group (PNI > 48.275, n = 92) and a low PNI group (PNI ≤ 48.275, n = 89). The proportion of patients with tumor progression after surgery was significantly higher in the low PNI group compared with that in the high PNI group (P = 0.004). The Kaplan-Meier curve showed that the PFS rate after surgery was significantly lower in the low PNI group compared with that in the high PNI group (P = 0.026). The preoperative PNI was an independent predictor of PFS (HR: 2.727, 95% CI: 1.174∼6.333, P = 0.020). Conclusion The preoperative PNI has a predictive value for postoperative progression in patients with pNENs.

Associations of Pre-Diagnostic Serum Levels of Total Bilirubin and Albumin With Lung Cancer Risk: Results From the Southern Community Cohort Study. Front Oncol 2022; 12:895479. [PMID: 35814479 PMCID: PMC9261263 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.895479] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2022] [Accepted: 04/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Previous studies conducted among European and Asian decedents reported inverse associations of serum total bilirubin and albumin with lung cancer risk. Yet, no study has been conducted among African Americans or low-income European Americans. Methods This study included 522 incident lung cancer cases and 979 matched controls nested in the Southern Community Cohort Study, a cohort of predominantly low-income African and European Americans. Serum levels of total bilirubin and albumin, collected up to 11 years prior to case diagnoses, were measured by a clinical chemistry analyzer. Conditional logistic regression models were applied to evaluate the associations of total bilirubin and albumin with lung cancer risk. Results Overall, serum levels of total bilirubin (ORT3 vs. T1 = 0.96, 95% CI: 0.66-1.39) were not significantly associated with lung cancer risk. However, higher levels of serum total bilirubin were significantly associated with decreased risk of lung cancer among participants who were diagnosed within two years following sample collection (ORT3 vs. T1 = 0.36, 95% CI: 0.15-0.87) and among former/never smokers (ORT3 vs. T1 = 0.54, 95% CI: 0.32-0.93). Serum levels of albumin were significantly associated with decreased risk of lung cancer overall (ORT3 vs. T1 = 0.70, 95% CI: 0.50-0.98) and among African Americans (ORT3 vs. T1 = 0.62, 95% CI: 0.41-0.96), but not among European Americans. Conclusion Our results indicate that in a low-income African American and European American population, serum levels of total bilirubin may be related to lung cancer progression and differ by smoking status. Meanwhile, the association of serum albumin levels with lung cancer risk may differ by race. Further studies are warranted to confirm these results.

Clin Epidemiol 2022; 14:771-778. [PMID: 35761866 PMCID: PMC9233496 DOI: 10.2147/clep.s367547] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2022] [Accepted: 06/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third–most frequently diagnosed cancer globally. Studies have linked low serum albumin with increased risk of CRC, but the causal nature of the association remains unclear. In the present study, we explored the potential causal relationship using bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR). Methods Instrumental variants for albumin were obtained from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on 102,223 Eastern Asian participants to investigate the effect of albumin on CRC. Summary statistics of CRC were obtained from a GWAS on 7,062 CRC cases and 195,745 controls of Eastern Asian ancestry. Bidirectional MR analysis was performed using inverse variance weighting (IVW) for primary analysis, supplemented with a maximum likelihood–based method, MR-PRESSO test, leave-one-out analysis, and MR-Egger regression. Stratification analyses were further performed. Results We found that genetically predicted serum albumin per unit was associated with a lower risk of CRC (OR 0.75, 95% CI 0.59–0.95 with IVW). No evidence of pleiotropy was observed. Sex-stratified MR analysis showed that serum albumin was inversely associated with risk of CRC in men (OR 0.71, 95% CI 0.53–0.96), but not in women (OR 0.81, 95% CI 0.55–1.19) using IVW. Reverse MR analysis suggested a genetic predisposition toward CRC was not associated with serum albumin. Conclusion Our study revealed a suggestive sex disparity in the effect of albumin, which deserves further exploration of the potential biological mechanism.
