Abstract
OBJECTIVE This article aims to investigate the clinical value of hemoglobin/red cell distribution width ratio (Hb/RDW), C-reactive protein/albumin ratio (CAR) and plateletcrit (PCT) combined with carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in colorectal cancer (CRC) auxiliary diagnosis. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed in 718 subjects (212 with CRC, 209 with benign colorectal lesions (BCL), 111 with other cancers, and 186 healthy controls). RESULTS The CAR, PCT, and CEA in the CRC group were higher than those in the BCL, other cancers, and the healthy control group. However, Hb/RDW in the CRC group was lower than the other three groups. Moreover, there were significant differences in Hb/RDW and CEA among different T-N-M stages (all P< 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression showed that low level of Hb/RDW and high level of CAR, CEA, PCT were risk factors for CRC, and are correlated with CRC stage. Additionally, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of Hb/RDW+CEA (AUC: 0.735), CAR+CEA (AUC: 0.748), PCT+CEA (AUC: 0.807) was larger than that of Hb/RDW (AUC: 0.503), CAR (AUC: 0.614), or PCT (AUC: 0.713) alone (all P< 0.001) in distinguishing CRC from BCL. CONCLUSIONS Hb/RDW, CAR, PCT, and CEA are independent risk factors for CRC. Hb/RDW, CAR, and PCT combined with CEA have significant value for auxiliary differential diagnosis of CRC and BCL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is one of the most common endocrine malignancies with different risk levels. However, preoperative risk assessment of PTC is still a challenge in the worldwide. Here, the authors first report a Preoperative Risk Assessment Classifier for PTC (PRAC-PTC) by multidimensional features including clinical indicators, immune indices, genetic feature, and proteomics. MATERIALS AND METHODS The 558 patients collected from June 2013 to November 2020 were allocated to three groups: the discovery set [274 patients, 274 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE)], the retrospective test set (166 patients, 166 FFPE), and the prospective test set (118 patients, 118 fine-needle aspiration). Proteomic profiling was conducted by FFPE and fine-needle aspiration tissues from the patients. Preoperative clinical information and blood immunological indices were collected. The BRAFV600E mutation were detected by the amplification refractory mutation system. RESULTS The authors developed a machine learning model of 17 variables based on the multidimensional features of 274 PTC patients from a retrospective cohort. The PRAC-PTC achieved areas under the curve (AUC) of 0.925 in the discovery set and was validated externally by blinded analyses in a retrospective cohort of 166 PTC patients (0.787 AUC) and a prospective cohort of 118 PTC patients (0.799 AUC) from two independent clinical centres. Meanwhile, the preoperative predictive risk effectiveness of clinicians was improved with the assistance of PRAC-PTC, and the accuracies reached at 84.4% (95% CI: 82.9-84.4) and 83.5% (95% CI: 82.2-84.2) in the retrospective and prospective test sets, respectively. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that the PRAC-PTC that integrating clinical data, gene mutation information, immune indices, high-throughput proteomics and machine learning technology in multicentre retrospective and prospective clinical cohorts can effectively stratify the preoperative risk of PTC and may decrease unnecessary surgery or overtreatment.

Indian J Nucl Med 2023; 38:313-319. [PMID: 38390543 PMCID: PMC10880857 DOI: 10.4103/ijnm.ijnm_35_23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2023] [Accepted: 03/30/2023] [Indexed: 02/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose of the Study To assess the association of inflammatory markers with known risk factors and short-term outcome of well-differentiated thyroid cancer. Materials and Methods Well-differentiated nonmetastatic thyroid cancer patients diagnosed and treated between September 2015 and December 2019 at Kasturba Hospital, Manipal, India, were retrieved for the study. Patients' presurgical blood parameters were noted, and neurtrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) were calculated. Clinicopathological details along with tumor markers at baseline and at 6 months' follow-up were tabulated. Patients were categorized as complete disease clearance if their clinical examination was normal, stimulated thyroglobulin (Tg) was <1 ng/ml, Anti-thyroglobulin antibodies <65 IU/L or showing a decreasing trend, and follow-up I-131 whole-body scan was negative. The association of the inflammatory markers with known risk factors and short-term outcomes were compared. Results A total of 272 patients were analyzed in the study. The median NLR in our study cohort was 2.55 (mean = 3.96 with standard deviation [SD] =4.20) and the median LMR was 3.72 (mean = 3.79 with SD = 1.94). The disease clearance rate of our study cohort was 73.9%. The median NLR (2.4 vs. 3.1) and LMR (3.13 vs. 3.93) were significantly different among the patients with complete disease clearance and those with persistent disease (P = 0.008 and P = 0.003, respectively). The known risk factors such as multifocality (P = 0.04), tumor size (P = 0.013), lymph node metastases (P = 0.001), and baseline Tg (P ≤ 0.001) were significantly associated with persistent disease at 6 months. The NLR showed a positive correlation and LMR had a negative correlation with the known risk factors, however, the associations were not statistically significant. Conclusions The NLR and LMR are simple yet potential prognostic tools in well-differentiated thyroid cancer.

MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2023; 59:1488. [PMID: 37629778 PMCID: PMC10456539 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59081488] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2023] [Revised: 08/16/2023] [Accepted: 08/17/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023]
Abstract
Background and objectives: Thyroid nodules are a common finding in clinical practice and can be either benign or malignant. The aim of this study was to compare laboratory parameters between patients with malignant thyroid nodules and those with benign thyroid nodules. Materials and methods: A total of 845 patients were included, with 251 in the study group (malignant thyroid nodules) and 594 in the control group (benign thyroid nodules). Results: Our results show that there were statistically significant differences in several laboratory parameters, including FT3, FT4, ESR, fibrinogen, WBC, and lymphocyte percentage, between the two patient groups (p < 0.05). Conclusions: These findings suggest that certain laboratory parameters may be useful in differentiating between benign and malignant thyroid nodules and could aid in the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid cancer. However, further diagnostic tests such as fine-needle aspiration biopsy and imaging studies are typically required for an accurate diagnosis. Routine laboratory tests prove most effective when combined with other diagnostic methods to identify thyroid cancer. Although not conclusive on their own, these tests significantly suggest and guide physicians to suspect malignancy in thyroid nodules. This affirmative answer to our question, "Can routine laboratory tests be suggestive in determining suspicions of malignancy in the case of thyroid nodules?" aligns with the results of our study.

Relation of Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) with Cancer: A Systematic Review with a Focus on Disease Outcome on Twelve Types of Cancer. Curr Oncol 2023; 30:3391-3420. [PMID: 36975471 PMCID: PMC10047416 DOI: 10.3390/curroncol30030258] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2023] [Revised: 03/08/2023] [Accepted: 03/12/2023] [Indexed: 03/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Inflammatory proteins activate platelets, which have been observed to be directly related to cancer progression and development. The aim of this systematic review is to investigate the possible association between Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) and cancer (diagnostic capacity of MPV, relation to survival, the severity of the disease, and metastasis). A literature review was performed in the online database PubMed and Google Scholar for the period of 2010–2022. In total, 83 studies including 21,034 participants with 12 different types of cancer (i.e., gastric cancer, colon cancer, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, renal cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, thyroid cancer, lung cancer, bladder cancer, gallbladder cancer, and multiple myeloma) were identified. The role of MPV has been extensively investigated in several types of cancer, such as gastric, colon, breast, and lung cancer, while few data exist for other types, such as renal, gallbladder cancer, and multiple myeloma. Most studies in gastric, breast, endometrium, thyroid, and lung cancer documented an elevated MPV in cancer patients. Data were less clear-cut for esophageal, ovarian, and colon cancer, while reduced MPV was observed in renal cell carcinoma and gallbladder cancer. Several studies on colon cancer (4 out of 6) and fewer on lung cancer (4 out of 10) indicated an unfavorable role of increased MPV regarding mortality. As far as other cancer types are concerned, fewer studies were conducted. MPV can be used as a potential biomarker in cancer diagnosis and could be a useful tool for the optimization of treatment strategies. Possible underlying mechanisms between cancer and MPV are discussed. However, further studies are needed to elucidate the exact role of MPV in cancer progression and metastasis.

A Nomogram Based on Hematological Parameters and Clinicopathological Characteristics for Predicting Local–Regional Recurrence After Breast-Conserving Therapy. Front Oncol 2022; 12:861210. [PMID: 35928880 PMCID: PMC9344968 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.861210] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2022] [Accepted: 06/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives The aim of this study was to identify the factors for local–regional recurrence (LRR) after breast-conserving therapy (BCT). We established a practical nomogram to predict the likelihood of LRR after BCT based on hematological parameters and clinicopathological features. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 2,085 consecutive breast cancer patients who received BCT in Shandong Cancer Hospital from 2006 to 2016, including 1,460 patients in the training cohort and 625 patients in the validation cohort. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed based on hematological parameters (fibrinogen, platelets, mean platelet volume, neutrophils, monocytes, and lymphocytes) and clinicopathological characteristics to identify the independent factors for LRR. Subsequently, a nomogram for predicting LRR was established by logistic regression analysis. The nomogram was validated in 625 patients in the validation cohort. Results During the median follow-up period of 66 months, 44 (3.01%) patients in the training cohort and 19 (3.04%) patients in the validation cohort suffered from LRR. Multivariate analysis showed six independent factors related to LRR, including molecular subtype, pathological N stage, re-resection, radiotherapy or not, platelet count*MPV*fibrinogen (PMF), and neutrophil count/lymphocyte count ratio (NLR). Six variables were entered into logistic regression to establish the nomogram for predicting LRR. The nomogram of LRR showed excellent discrimination and prediction accuracy. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was 0.89 (p < 0.001, 95% CI = 0.83, 0.95) in the training cohort and 0.88 (p < 0.001, 95% CI = 0.8, 0.96) in the validation cohort. Calibration curves for the prediction model in the training and validation cohorts both demonstrated satisfactory consistency between the nomogram-predicted and actual LRR. Conclusion The combination of hematological parameters and clinicopathological characteristics can predict LRR after BCT. The predictive nomogram based on preoperative and postoperative indicators of BCT might serve as a practical tool for individualized prognostication. More prospective studies should be performed to verify the model.

Abstract
Background Platelet index was reported to be used as a potential prognostic marker in patients with liver fibrosis. We aimed to explore the association between plateletcrit (PCT) and severity of hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (HSOS). Methods Seventy consecutive patients who diagnosed as HSOS by CT and medical history during January 2017‐November 2021 were included. All patients were divided into two groups which confirmed as favorable prognosis and poor prognosis on the basis of Child‐Turcotte‐Pugh score system. The clinical manifestation and laboratory parameters of two groups were retrospectively selected. PCT was evaluated within two groups, and the diagnostic accuracy was evaluated by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. Results The significant difference between the two groups not only in diarrhea, abdominal pain, abdominal distention, urine volume, and skin ecchymosis (p < 0.005), but also in WBC count, NE count, PLT count, TBIL, and D‐Dimer (p < 0.005) were found. The PCT level was significantly higher in HSOS patients with poor prognosis (0.169Â ± 0.060) than favorable prognosis patients (0.110Â ± 0.047). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of RDW in predicting poor prognosis was 0.781, with 67.70% sensitivity and 79.5%specificity. Conclusions The PCT level was correlated positively with the poor prognosis in HSOS patients. PCT can be a promising indicator for predicting prognosis in HSOS

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the clinical significance of blood immune indexes in predicting lateral lymph node metastasis (LLNM) of thyroid papillary carcinoma (PTC). METHODS The pathological data and preoperative blood samples of 713 patients that underwent thyroid surgery at affiliated Hangzhou First People's Hospital Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2013 to June 2021 were collected as the model group. The pathological data and preoperative blood samples of 177 patients that underwent thyroid surgery in the same hospital from July 2021 to October 2021 were collected as the external validation group. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to determine the independent risk factors of LLNM in PTC patients. A predictive model for assessing LLNM in PTC patients was established and externally validated using the external data. RESULTS According to univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses, tumor diameter (P < 0.001, odds ratios (OR): 1.205, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.162-1.249) and the preoperative systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) (P = 0.032, OR: 1.001, 95% CI: 1.000-1.002) were independent risk factors for distinguishing LLNM in PTC patients. When the Youden index was the highest, the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.860 (P < 0.001, 95% CI: 0.821-0.898). The externally validated AUC was 0.827 (P < 0.001, 95% CI: 0.724-0.929), the specificity was 86.4%, and the sensitivity was 69.6%. The calibration curve and the decision curve indicated that the model had good diagnostic value. CONCLUSION Blood immune indexes can reflect the occurrence of LLNM and the biological behavior of PTC. The predictive model established in combination with SII and tumor diameter can effectively predict the occurrence of LLNM in PTC patients.
