Abstract
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most frequent lymphoma. MIC-A and MIC-B are the natural ligands for NKG2D, a receptor expressed in NK cells. MIC-A soluble isoforms (sMICA) have been described in different malignancies. OBJECTIVES To analyze lymphocyte subsets and sMIC-A in germinal center DLBCL. MATERIALS AND METHODS sMICA, sMICB, and peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets (CD4+, CD8+, NK, NKT, γδ T cells, and dendritic cells) were analyzed in 59 patients and 60 healthy donors. RESULTS Patients had decreased numbers of type 1 and type 2 dendritic cells, NK, iNKT, CD4 T, and CD8 T cells, and higher levels of sMIC-A. The 2-year PFS for high IPI scores and high sMIC-A was 24% and 28%, respectively. The 2-year OS for high IPI scores and high sMIC-A was 42% and 33%. The 2-year PFS and OS for patients not achieving response to treatment were 0% and 10%, respectively. The MICPI score (one point each for high IPI score and high sMIC-A) showed that those patients summing two points had worse PSF and OS. CONCLUSIONS Patients with DLBCL have decreased numbers of peripheral lymphocyte subsets and high levels of sMIC-A. The addition of sMIC-A to IPI could improve its prognostic relevance.

The Prognostic Impact of Tumor Microenvironment and Checkpoint Blockade-Associated Molecules (PD-1, PD-L1, CD163 and CD14) in Nodal Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma, NOS. Indian J Hematol Blood Transfus 2024; 40:340-345.

Abstract
It is aimed to determine expression of programmed cell death-1 (PD-1), programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1), CD163 and CD14 in diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL), and whether these markers may predict prognosis in DLBCL cases. A total of 52 nodal DLBCL, NOS cases with no known extranodal involvement at the time of diagnosis were evaluated. PD-1, PD-L1, CD163, and CD14 were studied by immunohistochemistry. The relationships between the results and clinical and laboratory prognostic markers were investigated. It was observed that patients with PD-1 expression < 5 positive cells/HPF had worse overall survival. No significant relationship was found between survival and PD-L1, CD163 and CD14 expressions. In addition, cases that are > 60 years of age, that have Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance score ≥ 2, stage IV disease, high International Prognostic Index score score (≥ 3), elevation of LDH, low albumin level, low hemoglobin level, low peripheral blood lymphocyte count, high peripheral blood neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, high peripheral blood platelet/lymphocyte ratio were found to have worse overall survival. It was concluded that in patients with low number of PD-1 positive tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes have low survival rates and therefore PD-1 expression may be useful in indicating prognosis.

Prognostic value of the peripheral blood lymphocyte/monocyte ratio combined with 18F-FDG PET/CT in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Curr Probl Cancer 2024; 48:101066. [PMID: 38364336 DOI: 10.1016/j.currproblcancer.2024.101066] [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: 07/26/2023] [Revised: 12/18/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2024] [Indexed: 02/18/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the prognostic value of the peripheral blood lymphocyte/monocyte ratio (LMR) combined with 18F-FDG PET/CT for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). METHODS The clinical data of 203 patients with primary DLBCL who were hospitalized to the First People's Hospital of Lianyungang between January 2017 and December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Before and after three courses of treatment, PET/CT was performed on forty DLBCL patients. The subject operating characteristic (ROC) curve has been employed to determine the most effective LMR cutoff points. According to the criteria for assessing the efficacy of Lugano lymphoma, the PET/CT findings after 3 courses of treatment were specified as complete remission (CR), partial remission (PR), stable disease (SD) and disease progression (PD). The CR group, PR+SD group, and PD group were the three groups created from the four outcomes. Results were analyzed using the Cox proportional risk model, the Kaplan-Meier method (K-M), and the log-rank test. RESULTS An optimal cutoff point of 3.00 for the LMR in 203 patients was determined by the SPSS 26 software ROC curve. When LMR≥3.00, the 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year OS (Overall Survival) rates are 98%, 88%, and 64% respectively, and the PFS (Progression-free Survival) rates are 90%, 75%, and 56% respectively. When LMR <3.00, the 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year OS rates are 96%, 72%, and 28% respectively, and the PFS rates are 83%, 60%, and 28% respectively. A lower LMR was substantially related with shorter OS, and PFS, according to a K-M survival analysis (P<0.005). LMR<3.00 was an independent predictor of OS, based on a multifactorial Cox analysis (P=0.037). K-M survival analysis of the 18F-FDG PET/CT results of 40 patients revealed that both OS and PFS were statistically significant (P<0.001). Patients were separated into 3 groups combining LMR and 18F-FDG PET/CT: PET/CT CR patients with LMR≥3.00, PET/CT PD patients with LMR<3.00, and others. The Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that there were significant differences in OS and PFS for each of the three groups (P<0.001). ROC curves showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of the combined testing of the two was 0.735, and the combined testing of the two was better compared to testing alone (PET/CT AUC=0.535, LMR AUC=0.567). This indicates that combining both PET/CT and LMR is a favorable prediction for DLBCL. CONCLUSION A decreased LMR at initial diagnosis suggests an unfavorable prognosis for DLBCL patients; For patients with DLBCL, combining 18F-FDG PET/CT and the LMR has a better predictive value.

Prognostic value of the preoperative prognostic nutritional index and systemic immuno-inflammatory index in Chinese breast cancer patients: A clinical retrospective cohort study. J Surg Oncol 2023; 127:921-928. [PMID: 36734983 DOI: 10.1002/jso.27210] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2022] [Revised: 12/29/2022] [Accepted: 01/06/2023] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND It has been shown that peripheral blood inflammatory factor ratios correlate with the prognosis of various malignancies. Although indicative of prognosis in some tumors, its value for prognosis in breast cancer patients is unclear. METHODS The clinical data of breast cancer patients diagnosed with breast cancer in the Second Hospital of Jilin University from January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2017, were retrospectively analyzed. The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) optimal cutoff values of the subjects' operating characteristic curves divided the patients into a low PNI group (≤51.05) and a high PNI group (>51.05). Correlations between breast cancer and PNI clinicopathological variables were determined by the χ2 test or Fisher exact test. Kaplan-Meier plots and log-rank tests were used to assess clinical outcomes in terms of disease-free survival (DFS). The prognostic value of PNI was analyzed by univariate and multivariate Cox proportional risk regression models. RESULTS The best cutoff value for predicting DFS by pretreatment PNI was 51.05 and the Youden index when was 0.416, with a sensitivity of 71.4% and specificity of 70.2%. Univariate analysis showed that PNI ≤ 51.05, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) positivity, and the number of lymph node metastases >4 were risk factors affecting DFS in invasive breast cancer (p < 0.05). Cox multifactor analysis showed that PNI and lymph node status were the most important factors affecting the prognosis of invasive breast cancer. Neutrophils-to-lymphocytes ratio and platelets-to-lymphocytes ratio were not significantly correlated with patient prognosis (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION Preoperative peripheral blood PNI in patients with invasive breast cancer are independent risk factors affecting patients' prognosis, they are positively correlated with prognosis and can be used as indicators to assess prognosis. PNI, HER-2, and lymph node status had the best predictive efficacy with the area under the curve = 0.816 (95% confidence interval: 0.680-0.951, p < 0.001).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) represents the most frequent lymphoma in adults. Prognosis for DLBCL patients may be evaluated through the most prominent clinical/laboratory parameters or pattern of gene expression. In order to improve prognostic/prediction scores or provide new therapeutic targets, novel genetic markers are needed. This study evaluates the association of ATG16L1 rs2241880 and TP53 rs1042522 with clinical characteristics and course of DLBCL. METHODS The study included 108 DLCBL patients treated with R-CHOP. Of these, 44 patients were subjected to stem cell transplantation and 55 to radiotherapy. Genotyping was performed by TaqMan genotyping assays. RESULTS Amongst analyzed characteristics and prognostic scores, genotypes were associated with clinical stage (TP53 CG+CC vs GG p = 0.06), extranodal disease (ATG16L1 AG vs AA p = 0.07; AG vs GG p = 0.04), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) (ATG16L1 AA vs AG+GG, p = 0.052; AA vs GG, p = 0.054) and neutrophils-to-lymphocytes ratio (NLR) (ATG16L1 AA vs AG+GG, p = 0.033; AA vs GG, p = 0.003). Analyzed genotypes didn't impact response to therapy, relapse and therapy-related complications. Considering outcome, patients with ATG16L1 AA had higher survival rate than GG carriers (p = 0.04). In all patients, duration of overall survival (OS) and relapse free survival (RFS) was not affected by analyzed genotypes. When subjected to radiotherapy, patients with ATG16L1 A allele (p = 0.05) or AA genotype (p = 0.03) had superior OS. CONCLUSION Our results demonstrated the association of TP53 rs1042522 with clinical stage and ATG16L1 rs2241880 with extranodal disease, LMR and NLR. The impact of ATG16L1 genotypes on OS in patients subjected to radiotherapy, indicates significance of individual single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in particular subgroups of DLBCL.

Abstract
Objective: Lymphocyte monocyte ratio (LMR) has been considered as a prognostic factor in patients with lymphoma, which focused on diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Recently, many relevant clinical studies have been published with inconsistent results. To gain a more comprehensive view of the prognostic value of LMR, we conducted a meta-analysis on the significance of peripheral LMR in all subtypes of lymphoma. Methods: PubMed, PMC, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library were searched for relevant articles to conduct a meta-analysis. Hazard ratio (HR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) of OS and PFS were extracted and pooled on stata12.1. Results: In the meta-analysis, forty studies were eligible and a total of 10446 patients were included. Low LMR was associated with an inferior OS (HR=2.45, 95%CI 1.95-3.08) and PFS (HR=2.36, 95%CI 1.94-2.88). In the analysis of lymphoma subtypes, similar results were seen in HL, NHL, and its subtypes including DLBCL, NK/T cell lymphoma, and follicular lymphoma. In addition, low LMR was related with higher LDH (OR=2.26, 95%CI 1.66-3.09), advanced tumor staging (OR=0.41, 95%CI 0.36-0.46), IPI score (OR=0.40, 95%CI 0.33-0.48), but not with bone marrow involvement (OR=1.24, 95%CI 0.85-1.81) or pathological subtype (OR=0.69, 95%CI 0.41-1.16). Conclusion: Low LMR in peripheral blood indicates poor prognosis in patients with lymphoma. As a simple clinical indicator, peripheral blood LMR combined with existing prognostic factors can improve the accuracy of lymphoma prognosis assessment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most frequent lymphoma. Three prognostic factors are widely used in DLBCL: International Prognostic Index (IPI), Revised-IPI (R-IPI), and National Comprehensive Cancer Network-IPI (NCCN-IPI). METHOD We established a prognostic model using peripheral blood absolute lymphocyte/absolute monocyte counts ratio (LMR), hemoglobin, and platelet counts obtained from complete blood cell counts (CBC) data at diagnosis based on 214 cases of DLBCL who received more than one course of R-CHOP therapy at a single institution. RESULTS The cutoff values for using the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve for LMR, hemoglobin, and platelet counts were 1.6, 100 g/L, and 150 × 109 /L, respectively. Stratification was performed using the three factors (LMR < 1.6, hemoglobin < 100 g/L, and platelet counts < 150 × 109 /L). CBC Group 1 (none of the 3 factors) included 92 cases, CBC Group 2 (1 or 2 of these factors) included 108 cases, and CBC Group 3 (all 3 factors) included 11 cases. The 5-year OS rates were 78.2%, 60.9%, and 10.1%, respectively. In multivariate analysis, CBC Group 3 (hazard ratio, 2.9760; 95% confidence interval, 1.2670-6.991; P = .01) were prognostic factors for OS. CBC Group 3 had factors based on which the further stratification of the poor prognosis group into IPI high-risk and R-IPI poor-risk groups (P = .01, <.0001, respectively) was possible. CONCLUSIONS In DLBCL, combination of three CBC parameters has the potential to be a useful prognostic tool.

Abstract
Many established inflammation- and nutrition-related factors have been investigated as potential independent prognostic factors in various cancers, including the C-reactive protein/albumin ratio (CAR), lymphocyte/monocyte ratio (LMR), modified Glasgow prognostic score (mGPS), body mass index (BMI), and prognostic nutritional index (PNI). This study was performed to estimate the prognostic value of these factors in predicting survival and platinum resistance in ovarian cancer (OC), especially according to stage. Kaplan-Meier and multivariate analyses were performed to plot the survival curve and determine the independent prognostic factors. Additionally, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was used to predict platinum resistance and prognosis by comparing the predictive ability of PNI and cancer antigen (CA)-125. In all patients, decreased PNI was significantly associated with platinum resistance and poor overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Regarding tumor stage, decreased PNI was significantly associated with poor PFS and OS only in stage III OC. Furthermore, the PNI also showed a significantly higher AUC value than CA-125 for predicting mortality and platinum resistance in all OC patients, but not in stage III patients. In conclusion, decreased PNI is a powerful predictor of a poor prognosis in OC, and especially for stage III cases.
