The value of a new prognostic model developed by lymphocyte-monocyte ratio and platelet-monocyte ratio in peripheral T-cell lymphoma.
2021
Peripheral T-cell lymphoma(PTCL) is a group of lymphoproliferative tumors originated from post-thymic T cells or mature natural killer (NK) cells. It shows highly aggressive clinical behaviour, resistance to conventional chemotherapy, and a poor prognosis. Although a few prognostic models of PTCL have been established in retrospective studies, some high-risk patients still can not be screened out. Therefor we retrospectively studied 347 newly diagnosed PTCL patients and assessed the prognostic role of lymphocyte-monocyte ratio (LMR) and platelet-monocyte ratio (PMR) in the complete response (CR) and survival of PTCL patients. Patients with LMR ≤ 1.68 and PMR ≤ 300 achieved a lower CR rate and a poor survival. In multivariate analysis, LMR ≤ 1.68 (HR = 1.751, 95% CI 1.158–2.647, p < 0.05) and PMR ≤ 300 (HR = 1.762, 95% CI 1.201–2.586, p < 0.05) were independently associated with short survival. On this basis, a new prognostic model of PTCL was established to screen out high-risk patients. In our "Peripheral Blood Score (PBS)" model, three groups were identified at low risk (178 patients, 51.3%, score 0), intermediate risk (85 patients, 24.5%, score 1), and high risk (84 patients, 24.2%, score 2), having a 1-year OS of 86%, 55.3% and 22.6% (p < 0.05), and a 3-year OS of 43.4%, 20% and 13.1% (p < 0.05), respectively. Optimal strategies for identifying high-risk patients with PTCL are urgently needed. Our new PBS model is simple, inexpensive and widely available to screen out the high risk patients.
