Popis: | AIM To evaluate the role of baseline neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as prognostic marker in squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx (OPC) treated with definitive chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in the era of HPV status. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis of 125 patients (pts) affected with locally advanced OPC was performed. Inclusion criteria were age >18 years, stage III or IV (TNM 7th ed.) and definitive CRT. Haematological marker for their independent role as prognostic biomarkers for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Logistic models were used to assess the association with downstage in TNM 8th ed. RESULTS Seventy-seven (61.6%) pts had HPV/p16 + related OPC. Therapeutic choice consisted in sequential and concurrent CRT. Median follow-up was 50 months. A value of NLR ≥3 was associated with poorer OS. Two-year OS was 91% and 81% in pts with NLR |
