Popis: Nasal type, extranodal natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) is a heterogeneous disorder with poor prognosis, requiring risk stratification in this population. We designed to investigate the prognostic significance of absolute lymphocyte count (ALC), absolute monocyte count (AMC), ALC/AMC ratio and ALC/AMC prognostic score (low risk, normal ALC and AMC; intermediate risk, low ALC or high AMC; high risk, low ALC and high AMC) and to determine whether ALC/AMC ratio or prognostic score is a better predictor of prognosis in ENKTL. A total of 264 patients with newly diagnosed ENKTL were retrospectively analyzed in present study. Receiver Operating Curve analysis showed that optimal cut-off values of ALC, AMC and ALC/AMC ratio were 1.0×109/L, 0.5×109/L and 2.85, respectively. In multivariate analysis all tested factors including ALC, AMC, ALC/AMC ratio and prognostic score were independent risk factors. After a median follow-up of 30 months (range 1-87), an estimated 3-year overall survival (OS) in the 264 patients was 75.4%. Patients with ALC/AMC ratio≥2.85 had a better OS and progression-free survival (PFS) than those with ALC/AMC ratio Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
