<p>Prognostic Significance of the Preoperative Lymphocyte to Monocyte Ratio in Patients with Gallbladder Carcinoma</p>

Abstract: Background: This study was designed to investigate the prognostic value of the lymphocyte to monocyte ratio (LMR) in patients with gallbladder carcinoma (GBC). Patients and Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 154 consecutive GBC patients from 2005 to 2017 in this study. The LMR of preoperative blood samples was calculated by dividing the lymphocyte count by the monocyte count. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was employed to identify the optimal cutoff value of the LMR in the determination of o… Show more

“…But what is interesting is that the predictive value of MLR in patients with GBC after the operation is related to age. There is a significant difference in the cut-off value of MLR between ≤ 60 years old and > 60 years old in patients with GBC ( 16 ). In our study, ALP (RR=1.495, 95% CI: 1.145-1.952) and GGT (RR=1.472, 95%CI:1.126-1.925) were risk factors for the recurrence of GBC.…”

“…Lymphocyte is also considered as valuable markers and effective indexes for survival prognosis of cancers (18,19). The patients with lower lymphocyte count are more likely to have poor survival outcome (20,21). LMR and monocyte are signi cantly associated with the differentiation of benign and malignant gallbladder diseases in univariate analysis and had prediction ability, but they are not included in the prediction model by stepwise multivariate regression analysis.…”

“…However, these prognostic factors are far from optimal in offering accurate information, since survival substantially varies among patients with the same TNM stage. Previous studies have usually focused on a single or a few parameters in blood to identify prognostic predictors for cancer (9,17,34). We previously reported that high counts of circulating P, N, and low P were significantly associated with reduced survival in patients with OSCC (13).…”

“…From the clinical perspective, immune, inflammatory, and nutritional status has also been identified as source for novel biomarkers in patient diagnosis and prognostic prediction. For example, lymphocyte counts (L), lymphocyte-monocyte ratio (LMR), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), plateletlymphocyte ratio (PLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), and C-reactive protein (CRP) have been developed and verified with prognostic values in a broad spectrum of cancers (8)(9)(10)(11)(12). In our previous studies, high SII and plateletneutrophil-lymphocyte score (PNL), low PNI, high counts of platelets and neutrophils, and low lymphocyte counts were significantly associated with reduced survival in patients with resectable OSCC (12)(13)(14).…”
