Background: In many malignancies, including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), host-related inflammatory/immunonutritional markers, such as the prognostic nutritional index (PNI), modified Glasgow prognostic score (mGPS), and C-reactive protein (CRP)/albumin ratio are reported to be prognostic factors. However, the prognostic influence of these factors before and after chemoradiotherapy (CRT) has not been studied in PDAC patients. Methods: Of 261 consecutive PDAC patients who were scheduled for CRT with gemcitabine or S1 plus gemcitabine between February 2005 and December 2015, participants in this study were 176 who completed CRT and had full data available on inflammatory/immunonutritional markers as well as on anatomical and biological factors for the investigation of prognostic/predictive factors. Results: In multivariate analysis, the significant prognostic factors were RECIST classification, cT category, performance status, post-CRT carcinoembryonic antigen, post-CRT C-reactive protein/albumin ratio, post-CRT mGPS, and post-CRT PNI. Post-CRT PNI (cut-off value, 39) was the strongest host-related prognostic factor according to the p-value. In the patients who underwent resection after CRT, median survival time (MST) was significantly shorter in the 12 patients with low PNI (<39) than in the 97 with high PNI (≥39), at 15.5 months versus 27.2 months, respectively (p = 0.0016). In the patients who did not undergo resection, MST was only 8.9 months in those with low PNI and 12.3 months in those with high PNI (p < 0.0001), and thus was similar to that of the resected patients with low PNI. Conclusions: Post-CRT PNI was the strongest prognostic/predictive indicator among the independent biological and conditional prognostic factors in PDAC patients who underwent CRT.

Abstract Background: Frailty is an important consideration for older patients undergoing surgery. We aimed to investigate whether frailty could be prognostic factor in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma who underwent pancreatic resection.Methods: One hundred and twenty patients who underwent pancreatic resection for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma were enrolled. Frailty was defined as a clinical frailty scale score ≥4. Patients were divided into frailty (n = 29) and non-frailty (n=91) groups, and clinicopathological factors were compared between two groups. Results: The frailty group showed an older age, lower serum albumin concentration, lower prognostic nutritional index, larger tumor diameter, and higher rate of lymph node metastasis than the non-frailty group (p < 0.05). Neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio and modified Glasgow prognostic score tended to be higher in the frailty group. Cancer-specific and disease-free survival rates were significantly poor in the frailty group (p < 0.05). With a multivariate analysis, frailty was an independent prognostic factor of cancer-specific survival.Conclusions: Frailty can predict the prognosis of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma who undergo pancreatic resection.

Abstract Background: The aim of this study is to analyze the role of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and its variation pre and post-operatively (delta NLR) in overall survival after pancreatectomy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma at a single centre and to identify factors associated with overall survival.Methods: A retrospective study of consecutive patients undergoing pancreatic resection due to PDAC or undifferentiated carcinoma from January 2010 to January 2020 was performed. Association between evaluated factors and overall survival were analyzed using a log-rank test and Cox proportional hazard regression model.Results: Overall, 242 patients underwent complete pancreatic resection for PDAC or undifferentiated carcinoma. OS was 22.8 months (95% CI: 19.5-29) and survival rates at 1, 3 and 5 years were 72%, 32.5% and 20.8% respectively. NLR and delta NLR were not significantly associated with survival (HR=1.14, 95%CI: 0.77-1.68, p=0.5). Lymph node ratio was significantly associated (HR=1.66, 95%CI: 1.21-2.26, p=0.001) in the bivariate analysis. In multivariable analysis the only factors that were significantly associated with survival were perineural invasion (HR=1.94, 95%CI: 1.21-3.14, p=0.006), surgical margin (HR=1.83, 95%CI: 1.10-3.02, p=0.019), tumor size (HR=1.01, 95%CI: 1.003-1.027, p=0.16), postoperative CA 19-9 level (HR=1.001, p<0.001), and completion of adjuvant treatment (HR=0.53, 95%CI: 0.35-0.8, p=0.002).Conclusion: Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and delta NLR were not associated with overall survival in this cohort. Risk factors such as perineural invasion, surgical margins, CA19-9 level and tumor size showed worse survival in this study, whereas completing adjuvant treatment was a protective factor.
