  2. 1: # Prognostic value of lymphocyte-monocyte ratio (LMR) after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by radical gastrectomy for locally advanced gastric cancer 2: Author: Yikai Liang, Zhiwei Zhang 3: Date: 10-21-2020 4: Link: https://doi.org/10.1186/s12885-020-07565-7 5: BMC Cancer: Research Article 6: ## Abstract 7: BackgroundTo explore whether preoperative LMR could serve as a prognostic marker after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) followed by radical gastrectomy (RG) for locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC). 8: MethodsThis retrospective study included patients who underwent nCRT followed by RG between January 2009 and December2015 at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center (SYSUCC). The optimal cut-off value of LMR was determined by X-tile software. 9: ResultsA total of125 patients were included into final analysis according to inclusion criteria (nCRT group). Patients were divided into high LMR group (≥2.22; n = 74) or low LMR group (< 2.22; n = 51). The median follow-up time was45 months (range:11–86 months). Multivariate analysis showed that low LMR was an independent prognostic factor for poor overall survival (OS) [hazard ratio (HR):2.154;95% confidence interval (CI):1.016–4.565;P = 0.046]. In addition,a low LMR predicted poor disease-free survival (DFS) [HR:2.264;95% CI:1.189–4.312;P = 0.013]and disease-specific survival (DSS) [HR:2.234;95% CI:1.032–4.836;P = 0.042] after surgery. 10: ConclusionsThe present study demonstrated that low LMR was associated with worse OS/DFS/DSS after nCRT followed by RG for LAGC. 11: ## Background 12: Gastric cancer (GC) remains one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide [1]. Approximately one-third of GC patients are diagnosed as locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC), which means clinical stage II/III disease according to TNM classification [2]. Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by radical gastrectomy has been demonstrated as an efficient treatment modality for LAGC [3]. However,the prognosis of these patients remains poor [4]. 13: In recent years,inflammatory response has been considered as an important aspect of tumor progression [5]. Tumor microenvironment consists not only tumor cells but also various inflammatory cells such as neutrophils [6],lymphocytes [7],monocytes/macrophages [8] etc.. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio( NLR),platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio(PLR),lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio(LMR)and C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio(CAR)have been proved as prognostic factors for many cancers including GC [9]. The prognostic value of these markers has been verified before surgery [10]and after surgery[11]. 14: In recent years,the application of neoadjuvant therapy has gradually increased,the influence of inflammation factors should be re-evaluated before surgery.The purpose of this study was to explore whether preoperative LMR could serve as a prognostic marker after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by radical gastrectomy. 15: ## Methods 16: ### Patient selection 17: This retrospective study was approved by the institutional review board at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center(SYSUCC). All patients provided written informed consent before treatment. 18: Patients who underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by radical gastrectomy between January2009and December2015at SYSUCC were reviewed from medical records retrospectively.A total of144 patients were initially identified.After exclusion criteria were applied,a total of125 patients were included into final analysis(nCRT group). 19: The inclusion criteria were as follows:(1)pathologically confirmed adenocarcinoma;(2)clinical stage II/III disease according to TNM classification;(3)treatment consisted of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by radical gastrectomy;(4)sufficient clinicopathological data. 20: The exclusion criteria were as follows:(1)received radiotherapy only;(2)received chemotherapy only;(3)surgery alone;(4)received immunotherapy;(5)lost follow-up;(6)survival time less than one month;(7)history of other malignant tumors. 21: ### Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy 22: Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy consisted of chemotherapy plus radiotherapy.The chemotherapy regimen was XELOX (oxaliplatin100 mg/m2 d1+ capecitabine1000 mg/m2 d1–14 q21d).Radiotherapy was performed using intensity-modulated radiotherapy(IMRT).The dose was prescribed at midplane.The total dose was45Gy/25f delivered over five weeks(1.8Gy/f).The target volume included whole stomach including perigastric lymph nodes,and regional lymph nodes including celiac axis,LN station No.l,No.la,No.lb,No.ll,No.lc,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s. 23: ### Surgery 24: All patients received radical gastrectomy with D1+ or D2 lymphadenectomy after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. 25: ### Follow-up 26: Follow-up was conducted every three months during first two years,and every six months thereafter until death.The follow-up methods included physical examination,B-ultrasound CT scan,MRI etc.. Overall survival(OS),disease-free survival(DFS),disease-specific survival(DSS)were calculated from date of diagnosis until death from any cause,cancer recurrence or last follow-up,respectively. 27: ### Statistical analysis 28: SPSS version19 software was used for statistical analysis.X-tile software was used for determining optimal cut-off value.LMR was calculated by dividing absolute lymphocyte count by absolute monocyte count.The cut-off value was determined accordingto receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC curve).Univariate analysis was performed using chi-square test,Kaplan-Meier method,and log-rank test.Multivariate analysis was performed using Cox regression model.P value less than0·05was considered statistically significant. 29: ## Results 30: ### Clinicopathological characteristics 31: A totalof125 patients were included into final analysis(nCRT group). The median age was60years(range30–80years). There were76male patients(60·8%)and49female patients(39·2%).The median body mass index(BMI)was22·9(range15·8–34·9). The median neutrophil count was4·41×109/L(range1·37–13·79×109/L),the median lymphocyte countwas1·77×109/L(range0·42–4·83×109/L),the median monocyte countwas0·43×109/L(range0·19–1·38×109/L),the median platelet countwas254×109/L(range107–517×109/L),the median hemoglobin levelwas117g/L(range59–160g/L),the median albumin levelwas38·5g/L(range26–51g/L),the median C-reactive protein level(CRP)was2·32mg/dl(range0·03–33·99mg/dl). The median LMR was2·32(range0·72–7·48). 32: Accordingto X-tile software,the optimal cut-off valueof LMRwas determined as2·22.Thus,the nCRT group was divided into high LMR group(≥2·22;n=74)or low LMR group(< 2·22;n=51). 33: Clinicopathological characteristics were summarized in Table 1.The results showed that there were no significant differences between high LMR groupand low LMR group(p ≥ 0∙05). 34: Table 1Clinicopathological characteristics 35: | Variables | Total(n=125)n(%) | High LMR(n=74)n(%) | Low LMR(n=51)n(%) | p-value | 36: | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | 37: | Age(years)(median65;range30–80years) | ≥65(<65) | (68)(57) | (40)(34) | (28)(23) | > 0∙999 | 38: | Sex(male/female)(median60;range30–80years) | Male/Female | (76)(49) | (47)(27) | (29)(24) | > 0∙999 | 39: | BMI(median22·9;range15∙8–34∙9 kg/m2) | ≥25(<25) | (35)(90) | (23)(51) | (12)(39) | > 0∙999 | 40: | NLR(median2∙69;range0∙62–16∙04) | ≥2∙69(<2∙69) | (73)(52) | (46)(62) | (27)(38)) | > 0∙999 | 41: | PLR(median121∙7;range58∙5–367∙9) | ≥121∙7(<121∙7)) | (71)(56∙8%) | (42)(56∙8%) | (29)(56∙9%) | > 0∙999 | 42: | CAR(median0∙08;range0∙01–0∙84)) | ≥0∙08(<0∙08)) | (71)(56∙8%) | (42)(56∙8%) | (29)(56∙9%) | > 0∙999 | 43: | Tumor location(Upper/Middle/Lower/Mixed/Anterior/Anterior+upper/Anterior+lower/Mid+lower/Mid+upper/Stomach body/Stomach fundus/Not available.)*(medianMiddle;rangeUpper/Mid-Lower/Stomach body/Stomach fundus/NA.) ) | 44: | U/M/L/Mixed/Anterior/Anterior+upper/Anterior+lower/Mid+lower/Mid+upper/Stomach body/Stomach fundus/NA.* | 45: | Preoperative tumor size(cm)(median4;range1–10cm) | 46: | Pathological type(Poorly/moderately/well differentiated/Poorly/moderately/well differentiated + signet ring cell carcinoma) | 47: | Histological grade(G1/G2/G3/GX)* | 48: | Lauren classification(Intestinal/Diffuse/Mixed/NA)* | 49: | Clinical stage(IIB/IIC/IIIA/IIIB/IIIC)* | 50: | Resection margin status(RM)/Margin involved(RMI) | 51: |
