Abstract: Objective

To evaluate the impact of preoperative platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and derived NLR (dNLR) on the prognosis in patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.

Methods

The clinical data of 473 patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma who underwent primary surgery in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University were analyzed retrospectively. According to preoperative PLR, NLR and dNLR, the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) for diagnosing tumor recurrence was drawn to determine PLR, NLR and dNLR thresholds, and then the patients were divided into the lower groups and the higher groups. Kaplan-Meier analysis and COX risk model were used to analyze the relationship between PLR, NLR, dNLR, and other clinicopathological parameters and recurrence of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.

Results

The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of PLR, NLR and dNLR for the diagnosis of tumor recurrence were 0.683, 0.720 and 0.696, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that PLR, NLR, dNLR, tumor classification, TNM stages, pathological differentiation, invasion of thyroid cartilage plate, lymph nodes metastasis, age and coagulation were associated with recurrence in patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma; In COX regression model, a higher PLR, tumor classification and age were identified as independent risk factors for the recurrence of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (P<0.001; P=0.033; P=0.030).

Conclusion

Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma patients with high preoperative dNLR are more likely to relapse. Preoperative PLR is a more valuable prognostic factor than NLR and dNLR for recurrence of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. It could be a clinically biomarker for the prognosis of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.
