Journal Article
Lymphocyte percentage as a valuable predictor of prognosis in lung cancer
2022
Overview
Lymphocytes and neutrophils are involved in the immune response against cancer. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between lymphocyte percentage/neutrophil percentage and the clinical characteristics of lung cancer patients, and to explore whether they could act as valuable predictors to ameliorate lung cancer prognosis. A total of 1312 patients were eligible to be recruited. Lymphocyte percentage and neutrophil percentage were classified based on their reference ranges. Survival curves were determined using Kaplan–Meier method, and univariate and multivariate cox regression analyses were performed to identify the significant predictors. Decision curve analysis was used to evaluate the clinical benefit. The results of both training and validation cohorts indicated that lymphocyte percentage exhibited high correlation with clinical characteristics and metastasis of lung cancer patients. Both lymphocyte percentage and neutrophil percentage were closely associated with survival status (all p < 0.0001). Low lymphocyte percentage could act as an indicator of poor prognosis; it offered a higher clinical benefit when combined with the clinical characteristic model. Our findings suggested that pretreatment lymphocyte percentage served as a reliable predictor of lung cancer prognosis, and it was also an accurate response indicator in lung adenocarcinoma and advanced lung cancer. Measurement of lymphocyte percentage improved the clinical utility of patient characteristics in predicting mortality of lung cancer patients.
