The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic significance of pretreatment inflammatory markers in patients with metastatic UC who underwent first-line gemcitabine plus cisplatin (GC) chemotherapy. METHODS We reviewed the medical records of 214 metastatic UC patients who received first-line GC at 14 institutions between 2005 and 2014. The associations of pretreatment clinical factors, including the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), derived NLR, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, Onodera's prognostic nutritional index and C-reactive protein (CRP), with progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were assessed. The Cox proportional hazards model was used for multivariate analysis. RESULTS After excluding 27 patients with missing data, 187 patients were finally enrolled. The median PFS and OS were 7.5 months (IQR 3.6-11.9) and 11.7 months (IQR 7.3-19.9), respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that pretreatment CRP ≥ 1.0 mg/dL and liver or bone metastasis were independent poor prognostic factors for PFS and OS (Table). A prognostic model predicting OS was constructed based on the number of these three variables present (0, 1 and 2). The classified patients showed significantly different OS (p < 0.0001, log-rank test, Figure) and Harrell's concordance index was 0.66 (95%CI 0.58 - 0.74). CONCLUSIONS Pretreatment CRP elevation is an independent poor prognostic factor for mUC in patients undergoing first-line GC chemotherapy. Our newly developed prognostic model using the pretreatment CRP is a good discriminator of OS in metastatic UC patients. © 2016FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 195Issue 4SApril 2016Page: e364 Advertisement Copyright & Permissions© 2016MetricsAuthor Information Takeshi Maehana More articles by this author Toshiaki Tanaka More articles by this author Tetsuya Shindo More articles by this author Atsushi Takahashi More articles by this author Naoki Ito More articles by this author Keisuke Taguchi More articles by this author Hiroshi Hotta More articles by this author Naoya Masumori More articles by this author Expand All Advertisement Advertisement PDF downloadLoading ...
