Abstract 4619
Background
Inflammation impacts each step of tumorigenesis, including tumor initiation, promotion and metastatic progression. Biomarkers including the neutrophil, lymphocyte and platelet count, as well as the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and monocyte-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) are indices of inflammation. The aim of the present study was to assess the blood the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and monocyte-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) as a prognostic factors in male breast cancer patients (BC).
Methods
A the retrospective analysis of 38 male BC patients who were treated at COI (Gliwice, Poland) between January 2005 and December 2018 was performed. Based on the cut-off values determined, the NLR was considered as ‘elevated’ at > 2.65, the MLR value was ‘elevated’ at > 0.28 and the PLR was considered ‘elevated’ at > 190.9. The prognostic value (OS) of the pre-treatment PLR, NLR and MLR was assessed by univariate analysis.
Results
There was observed tendency to worse 5-year OS in male BC patients with lymph node metastases (N+) (43.5% vs. 73.9%, p = 0.171); higher tumor size (T4 vs. T1) (42% vs.85.79%, p = 0.128); negative steroid receptor status (PR-) (28.6% vs. 65.6%, p = 0.109). Patients with cancer family history had significantly better 5-year OS than patients without cancer family history (86.3% vs.35.0%, p = 0.004).Younger male BC patients (age ≤53 years) had better 5 year OS in comparison to patients over 53 years (88.9% vs. 43.1%, p = 0.014).The 5-year OS was lower in patients with lower lymphocyte value ≤1.52 (24.0% vs. 67.4%, p = 0.010). There was reported tendency to the worse 5-year OS in patients with higher PLT value (PLT>193 x 10^3) (47.3% vs. 78.8%, p = 0.157). The 5-year OS was lower in the NLR >2.75 compared with that in the NLR≤2.75 group (29.6% vs. 64.4%, p = 0.031). Similarly, a worse OS rate was associated with an elevated PLR (>114.5) (34.4% vs.77.5%, p = 0.021). There was detected tendency to worse OS in group with lower MLR level (≤3.23) (39.5% vs. 71.9%, p = 0.155).
Conclusions
The present results revealed that an elevated NLR (>2.75) and PLR (>114.5) are associated with poor OS in male breast cancer patients. In contrary, the elevated MLR affected better OS.
