Abstract 3163
Background
To explore the characteristics of cancer-associated systemic and local inflammation and its impact on overall survival (OS) in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) treated with neoadjuvant radiotherapy (RT).
Methods
A consecutive cohort of 76 LARC patients underwent neoadjuvant RT were retrospectively analyzed from February 2012 to September 2015. Peripheral neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was calculated at diagnosis, and tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte was examined in postoperative tumor tissue by immunohistochemistry. The association between clinicopathological features and inflammation was explored through chi-square test. The prognostic factors in terms of OS were investigated through uni- and multivariate Cox regression. SPSS 22.0 was used for statistical analyses.
Results
The median follow-up time was 29.0 months (range, 2-59). The 1-, 3- and 5-year OS rates were 93.4% (95%CI 87.91-98.89), 80.0% (95%CI 69.81-90.19) and 68.6% (95%CI 46.06-91.14), respectively. High NLR (≥2.0) and low CD8+ T-cells (<9%) were more common in 76 patients (53.9% and 59.2%, respectively). For patients with high NLR and low CD8+ T-cells, 5-year OS was significantly worse than those with low NLR and high CD8+ T-cells (P = 0.005). Also, NLR ≥ 2.0 was associated with poor tumor regression after neoadjuvant RT (P = 0.039), while no significant association was found between CD8+ T-cells and tumor regression. In addition, NLR was related to lymphovascular invasion (P = 0.031). CD8+ T-cell was related to neural invasion (P = 0.048) and mucinous adenocarcinoma (P = 0.045). Furthermore, NLR (HR 7.71, 95%CI 1.30-45.71, P = 0.025), CD8+ T-cells (HR 0.09, 95%CI 0.01-0.67, P = 0.018) , age (HR 16.1, 95%CI 1.56-167.15, P = 0.020), lymphovascular invasion (HR 7.17, 95%CI 1.12-46.05, P = 0.038) and T stage (HR 0.03, 95%CI 0.00-0.45, P = 0.011) were independent risk factors for prognosis according to multivariate Cox regression.
Conclusions
High NLR and low CD8+ T-cells were significantly associated with dismal survival. Systemic combined with local inflammation might help to predict prognosis of LARC with neoadjuvant RT.
