摘要

摘要: 目的探讨中性粒细胞/淋巴细胞比值(NLR)、红细胞分布宽度/淋巴细胞比值(RLR)及淋巴细胞/单核细胞比值(LMR)在早期小肝癌射频消融术后的预后价值。方法选取2011年9月-2020年12月在天津市第二人民医院行射频消融术的132例初诊早期肝细胞癌(HCC)患者。收集患者术前资料并随访观察复发和生存情况。运用X-tile工具以5年生存率及无复发生存率确定NLR、RLR和LMR的最佳截断值并组合成为N-R-L评分, 并据此分为N-R-L 0分组(n=92)、N-R-L 1分组(n=29)和N-R-L 2分组(n=11)。计数资料3组间比较采用χ²检验。采用Kaplan-Meier方法绘制生存曲线, 并用log-rank检验对无复发生存率及总体生存率进行组间比较。单因素分析采用log-rank检验, 并将log-rank检验分析中具有统计学意义的因素纳入多因素Cox回归分析以确定无复发生存率与总生存率的危险因素。结果 N-R-L 0分、N-R-L 1分和N-R-L 2分组的组间Child-Pugh分级、Alb比较差异均有统计学意义(χ²值分别为10.992、5.699, P值均 < 0.05)。3组的1、3和5年总体生存率分别为100%、96.3%、90.7%, 96.6%、60.4%、41.3%和81.8%、46.8%、15.6%(χ²=38.460, P < 0.000 1);3组的1、3和5年无复发生存率分别为76.9%、52.5%、33.3%, 42.9%、13.1%、0和11.1%、0、0(χ²=35.345, P < 0.000 1)。多因素Cox回归分析显示, 肿瘤直径≥ 2 cm(HR=2.10, 95%CI: 1.28~3.43, P=0.003; HR=3.67, 95%CI: 1.58~8.52, P=0.002)、N-R-L评分1分(HR=3.14, 95%CI: 1.81~5.46, P < 0.000 1; HR=8.27, 95%CI: 3.15~21.71, P < 0.000 1)以及N-R-L评分2分(HR=2.61, 95%CI: 1.06~6.42, P=0.037; HR=14.59, 95%CI: 3.96~53.78, P < 0.000 1)是无复发生存与总生存的独立预测因素。结论由NLR、RLR和LMR组合而成的全身炎症反应标志物N-R-L评分是早期小肝癌射频消融术后复发和生存的独立危险因素, 可作为有用的无创生物标志物, 与肿瘤特征联合用来预测早期HCC射频消融术后的复发和生存。

Abstract: Objective To investigate the value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), red blood cell distribution width-to-lymphocyte ratio (RLR), and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) in predicting the prognosis of early small hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after radiofrequency ablation (RFA). Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for 132 patients newly diagnosed with early HCC who underwent RFA in Tianjin Second People's Hospital from September 2011 to December 2020. Preoperative data were collected and the patients were followed up to observe recurrence and overall survival (OS). The X-tile tool was used to determine the optimal cut-off values of NLR, RLR, and LMR based on 5-year survival rate and recurrence-free survival (RFS) rate, and then the patients were divided into N-R-L 0 group with 92 patients, N-R-L 1 group with 29 patients, and N-R-L 2 group with 11 patients. The chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between the three groups. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot the survival curve, and the log-rank test was used to compare RFS and OS rates between groups. The factors with statistical significance in the log-rank test were included in the multivariate Cox regression analysis to determine the risk factors for RFS and OS rates. Results There were significant differences in Child-Pugh class and albumin between the N-R-L 0, N-R-L 1, and N-R-L 2 groups (χ²2=10.992 and 5.699, both P < 0.05). The 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS rates of the three groups were 100%/96.3%/90.7%, 96.6%/60.4%/41.3%, and 81.8%/46.8%/15.6%, respectively (χ²=38.46, P < 0.000 1), and the 1-, 3-, and 5-year RFS rates of the three groups were 76.9%/52.5%/33.3%, 42.9%/13.1%/0, and 11.1%/0/0, respectively (χ²=35.345, P < 0.000 1). The multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that tumor diameter ≥ 2 cm (hazard ratio[HR]=2.10, 95% confidence interval[CI]: 1.28-3.43, P=0.003; HR=3.67, 95% CI: 1.58-8.52, P=0.002), N-R-L score of 1 point (HR=3.14, 95% CI: 1.81-5.46, P < 0.000 1; HR=8.27, 95% CI: 3.15-21.71, P < 0.000 1), and N-R-L score of 2 points (HR=2.61, 95% CI: 1.06-6.42, P=0.037; HR=14.59, 95% CI: 3.96-53.78, P < 0.000 1) were independent predictive factors for RFS and OS. Conclusion N-R-L, a systemic inflammatory response marker composed of NLR, RLR, and LMR, is an independent risk factor for recurrence and survival of early small HCC after RFA, and it can be used as a useful noninvasive biomarker in combination with tumor features to predict the recurrence and survival of early HCC after RFA.
