摘要
Malnutrition and inflammation are common in patients with head and neck cancer and are closely associated with prognosis. Although several parameters for evaluating nutritional/inflammatory status have been assessed in relation to the prognosis of patients with head and neck cancer, previous studies primarily included patients with advanced-stage disease. To date, there is no consensus regarding the most reliable parameter for predicting the prognosis of early and advanced-stage head and neck cancer. This study sought to evaluate nutritional/inflammatory prognostic factors before treatment in patients with early and advanced-stage head and neck cancer.We retrospectively reviewed medical records of patients treated between 2008 and 2015 at our institution in order to evaluate the effects of nutritional/inflammatory parameters, including C-reactive protein/albumin ratio, modified Glasgow prognostic score, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, platelet/lymphocyte ratio, and Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index, on overall survival. Effects of potential risk factors on overall survival were analyzed by computing Kaplan-Meier estimates; curves were compared using the log-rank test.A total of 164 patients were enrolled. C-reactive protein/albumin ratio, modified Glasgow prognostic score, platelet/lymphocyte ratio, and Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index were found to be statistically significantly correlated with overall survival. Only the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index remained statistically significant in the multivariate analysis. The three-year survival rates according to the four-group Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index scores for normal, low, moderate, and high risk were 95.5%, 84.3%, 53.8%, and 23.4%, respectively.The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index is therefore a useful prognostic factor for patients with early and advanced-stage head and neck cancer.
