研究概要

NLR 与肿瘤坏死、TAMs 和 TILs 之间的关联说明了循环和局部免疫微环境之间的相互作用。晚期 NLR 是预后的强有力指标,可能有助于预后判断和疾病监测。

研究思路结论见上方概要

中性粒细胞-淋巴细胞比值(NLR)是癌症相关炎症的全身反映,也是乳腺癌的预后标志物。对于局部肿瘤微环境,TIL(肿瘤浸润淋巴细胞)(TILs)和肿瘤相关巨噬细胞(TAMs)也与乳腺癌生存高度相关。本研究旨在探讨循环与局部免疫微环境之间的关系,并进一步阐明NLR在接受新辅助化疗(NAC)的乳腺癌患者中的预后作用。

获取了一组接受NAC并随后手术的乳腺癌患者队列。回顾了临床数据。对活检(化疗前)和切除(化疗后)标本的组织学切片及CD8免疫组化进行了评估,以检测TILs和TAMs。

共纳入146例患者。以2.6(化疗前NLR中位数)为截断值时,手术前与手术后NLR之间存在显著正相关(P < 0.001)。化疗前NLR与活检坏死(P = 0.027)、切除标本坏死(P = 0.021)及切除标本TAMs(P = 0.049)呈正相关。术后1年NLR与高肿瘤分期(P = 0.050)和低组织学分级(P = 0.008)相关。通过组织学评估和CD8免疫染色,在几乎所有时间点,NLR高值病例的TIL计数均较低(P < 0.050)。在多变量分析中,术后NLR是总生存期[OS;风险比(HR)= 9.524,P < 0.001]、乳腺癌特异性生存期(BCSS)(HR = 10.059,P = 0.001)和无病生存期(DFS;HR = 2.824,P = 0.016)的独立预测因子。

A cohort of breast cancer patients receiving NAC with subsequent surgery was retrieved. Clinical data were reviewed. Histological slides and CD8 immunohistochemistry from biopsy (pre-chemotherapy) and excision (postchemotherapy) specimens were assessed for TILs and TAMs.

A total of 146 patients were included. There was a significant positive correlation between pre- and postsurgery NLR at a cut-off of 2.6 (median pre-chemotherapy NLR) (P < 0.001). NLR pre-chemotherapy was associated positively with necrosis on biopsy (P = 0.027) and excision (P = 0.021) and TAMs on excision (P = 0.049). NLR 1 year postsurgery was associated with high tumour stage (P = 0.050) and low histological grade (P = 0.008). TIL count was lower in NLR-high cases at almost all time-points by histological assessment and CD8 immunostaining (P < 0.050). In multivariate analysis, postsurgery NLR is an independent predictor for overall survival [OS; hazard ratio (HR) = 9.524, P < 0.001], breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) (HR = 10.059, P = 0.001) and disease-free survival (DFS; HR = 2.824, P = 0.016).

The association between NLR with tumour necrosis, TAMs and TILs illustrates an interaction between the circulating and local immune microenvironment. Late NLR is a strong indicator of outcome and may be useful for prognostication and disease monitoring.
