Abstract P3-08-12: Prognostic relevance of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in young women with breast cancer (BC)
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Abstract Background: Many studies suggest that a high NLR prior to systemic treatment is an adverse prognostic marker for BC but its role in women ≤ age 40 in general, and in those with pregnancy associated BC (PABC) in particular is unknown. We investigated whether the NLR is independently prognostic for recurrence-free survival (RFS) in a prospective database of young BC patients. Methods: A prospective database of women ≤40 years of age diagnosed with BC from 02-2008 to 01-2015 was analyzed. Data regarding age, stage at diagnosis, pathology, treatment and clinical outcomes were available; the NLR was abstracted from the patients' medical record retrospectively with all values obtained post-diagnosis and prior to systemic therapy. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate time-to-event outcomes, with a primary outcome of RFS. Insufficient events had occurred to analyze overall survival. Univariable Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to evaluate factors that were potentially prognostic for RFS; a subsequent multivariable Cox proportional hazards model adjusted for nodal involvement, PABC status and tumor size. All tests were two-sided and statistical significance was defined as a p-value ≤0.05. Results: Of 233 women in the database, 208 had a NLR and outcomes available for analysis. The mean age of patients was 35.1 and 24% (n=66/233) had PABC (BC diagnosed during pregnancy or ≤ 24 months postpartum); the median size of their tumors was 2.8 cm (range 0.1 cm – 19.0 cm) and 48% (n=102/211) were node positive. The majority of women had hormone receptor positive (92%; n=206/223) and HER2 negative 75% (n=160/212) disease, 50% (n=112/223) were treated with breast conserving surgery, 61% (n=142/233) received adjuvant radiotherapy and 83% (n=184/223) received adjuvant chemotherapy. With a median follow-up of 41 months, 16 patients (7%) experienced a local recurrence and 25 (11%) had distant recurrent disease. A higher NLR was prognostic for an adverse RFS in both uni- and multi-variable models (Table). The neutrophil count, individually, was also prognostic for adverse RFS but the lymphocyte count was not. The findings for patients with PABC and non-PABC were similar (interaction tests >0.05).

In our study, a higher neutrophil count drives the prognostic effects of NLR, suggesting an inflammatory state. If our results are confirmed in larger data sets, these findings may warrant the investigation of anti-inflammatory agents in the treatment of young women with BC. As BC in this age group has a worse prognosis than BC in older women, the potential benefit of anti-inflammatory agents may be easier to observe in this population.

Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
