Abstract:

Objective: To investigate the prognostic value of Naples prognostic score (NPS) in predicting postoperative recurrence and metastasis of cervical cancer in patients with stage Ⅰ-Ⅱcervical cancer according to the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO). Methods: The clinical data of 186 patients with FIGOⅠ-Ⅱ cervical cancer were collected retrospectively. The patients were divided into low-risk group (0), medium-risk group (1-2) and high-risk group (3-4) according to NPS. Patients were divided into non-recurrence or metastasis group (n=147) and recurrence or metastasis group (n=39) according to whether they had relapsed or not, and the differences in clinical characteristics between the two groups were compared. COX proportional hazards regression was used to analyze the factors influencing patients′ recurrence or metastasis. Kaplan-Meier method was used to compare the difference of disease-free survival (DFS) among patients with different NPS patients. Results: There were statistically significant differences in albumin, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte-monocyte ratio (LMR), degree of differentiation and proportion of parametrial infiltration in low-risk, medium-risk and high-risk NPS groups (all P<0.05). COX regression analysis showed that NPS was an independent prognostic factor for recurrence or metastasis in patients with cervical cancer (HRhigh-risk vs. low-risk=14.304, 95%CI: 3.214-63.656, P<0.001). Subgroup analysis showed that DFS in NPS high-risk group was significantly lower than that in medium-risk group and low-risk group (Log-rank χ2=23.267, P<0.001). Patients with FIGO stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ had significantly lower DFS in the NPS high-risk group than in the medium-risk and low-risk groups (Log-rank χ2=15.760 and 8.294, respectively, P<0.05). Conclusions: NPS is an independent influencing factor of postoperative progress of patients with FIGOⅠ-Ⅱ cervical cancer, and patients with higher NPS have relatively shorter DFS.
