Abstract 383P
Background
The body mass index (BMI) before therapy shows a variety of progression free survival (PFS), it was said in the BMI study <18.5 kg/m2, had a worse progression free survival, compared to BMI 18.5-24.9 kg/m and BMI >24.9 kg/m2. The neutrophil lymphocyte ratio before therapy showed a variety of progression free survival (PFS). It was said that NLR ≥ 3 patients study have a better progression free survival compared to those < 3, but these results are still contradictory. The aim of this study was to determine body mass index and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio before therapy to predict 3-year progression free survival in patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinom.
Methods
Patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (N=289) from 2015 until 2017 who underwent chemoradiation with and without adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy were enrolled. Body mass index before therapy was classified as <18.5 (underweight), 18.5-24.9 (normal), and >24.9 (overweight or obese) and the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio before therapy was categorized as ≥3 and <3, using the Cox proportional hazard and Kaplan-Meier models.
Results
Body mass index 18.5-24.9 and 24.9 on Cox regression has a better 3-year PFS with adjusted hazard ratio (HR = 0.219; CI = 1.43-1.59; p = 0.025 and HR = 0.136 ; CI = 1.51-1.76; p = 0.025 ), BMI <18.5 indicates a lower 3-year PFS (HR=1.644; CI=1.28-1.56; P=0.001). While NLR ≥3 before therapy had a better 3-year PFS (HR=0.152; CI 1.37-1.53, p=0.001) than NLR <3 (HR=1.603; CI 1.52-1.69, p=0.013.
Conclusions
Patients with BMI<18.5 before therapy had a lower 3-year PFS, and BMI>24.9 had a 3-year higher PFS than the normal weight group and NLR ≥3 had a higher PFS than under 3. This study provides a good understanding better between BMI and PFS and NLR and PFS, but further research is needed to confirm the result in different populations.
