| Popis: | Objectives Although systemic chemotherapy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has made progress, ensuring long-term survival remains difficult. There are several reports on the usefulness of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in predicting the prognosis of PDAC, but few reports in systemic chemotherapy. We hereby investigated the usefulness of NLR in systemic chemotherapy for PDAC.Materials and methods A retrospective study was conducted on patients with advanced PDAC treated with first-line systemic chemotherapy. Cox regression hazards models were performed to analyze the association between baseline patient characteristics and the initial treatment response, and overall survival (OS).Results A total of 60 patients with PDAC were enrolled. At baseline, there were significant differences in NLR and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), as well as the selection rate of combination chemotherapy, between patients with partial response or stable disease and those with progressive disease. Univariate and multivariate analysis showed that NLR < 3.10, combination chemotherapy, and CA19-9 |
