Five-year survival rate was 93%. Survival probabilities were calculated by the product limit method of Kaplan and Meier that showed, patients with no myometrial invasion and low mitotic count < or = 5/HPF have longer disease-free survival, but P value was not significant.
Introduction: Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is one of the major health concerns of women in developing countries. This study gives an insight into the prevalence and genotype distribution of HPV infection and compares it with Pap smear results among Iranian women.Methods: In this study, 12 076 Iranian women underwent routine examination from November 2016 to November 2018 using HPV Direct Flow CHIP System for HPV DNA typing. Cytology was undertaken for 5138 samples.
Background: Immune system status is a factor related to cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) recurrence. neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a useful factor in assessing the immune status. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of NLR factor for CIN recurrence in patient who underwent excisional procedure and its relationship with recurrence free survival (RFS). Methods: In this historical cohort study, a population of 307 patients with CIN (confirmed by excisional pathology) from 2009 to 2017 were selected. NLR and hematologic factors were measured before surgery and the follow-up records of these patient were analyzed. The recurrence rate and RFS were assessed during the follow-up phase. Results: The NLR cutoff point of 1.9 was determined using the Youden Index. NLR<1.9 (low NLR) and NLR≥1.9 (high NLR) were observed among 68.1% and 39.1% of patients, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that higher NLR values (P<0.001), absolute neutrophilic counts (ANC) (P<0.001) and platelet lymphocytic ratios (PLR) (P=0.002) were significantly associated with reduction in RFS. The results of Cox regression showed that removing more tissue during excision (HR = 0.325; 95% CI (0.936-0.136) significantly reduced the hazard of recurrence, higher NLR (HR = 4.55; 95% CI) (1.97-10.51) and white blood cell (WBC) count levels (HR =1.27; 95% CI, 1.04-1.55), significantly decreased RFS, but PLR and ANC associated with RFS were not confirmed by Cox regression. Conclusion: NLR and total WBC count might be prognostic factors involved in the prediction of recurrence and RFS in CIN patient underwent excisional procedure. To confirm these results, more prospective studies with larger sample sizes are needed.
Purpose: The current study aimed at assessing the association between neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR) for the prognosis of the surgical outcome of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Materials and Methods: EOC patient medical records of surgical operations between January, 2005 and December, 2015 were reviewed and their data of clinicopathological complete blood counts (CBCs) and surgical outcomes were collected. To assess their effects on surgical outcomes, PLR and NLR optimal predictive values were determined and then compared with each other. Results: A statistically significant relation was found between surgical outcomes and NLR and PLR (p<0.001 and p<0.001), for which new cutoff points were gained (PLR: 192,3,293; NLR: 3). The sensitivity and specificity were 0.74 and 0.67, respectively for PLR and 0.74 and 0.58, for NLR. Conclusions: NLR and PLR seem to be useful methods for the prediction of surgical outcomes in patients with EOCs. Increased NLR and PLR proved to be beneficial for poor surgical outcomes. Moreover, PLR increase showed further help in the predicting outcome of EOC suboptimal debulking.
