Abstract
BACKGROUND: The prognostic factors of retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcoma (STS) have been explored but not yet certain. This study evaluated the prognostic impact of various preoperative clinical parameters and inflammatory indices in primary STS, with a particular focus on the transition of inflammatory index before and after tumor resection in de-differentiated liposarcoma (DD-LPS). METHODS: The clinical data of 113 patients with primary retroperitoneal STS receiving tumor resection were reviewed. Six variables (neutrophils, platelets, C-reactive protein (CRP), lymphocytes, albumin, and hemoglobin) in the blood samples were measured and nine inflammatory indices (neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), CRP-lymphocyte ratio (CLR), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), neutrophil-albumin ratio (NAR), CRP-albumin ratio (CAR), platelet-albumin ratio (PAR), HALP (hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte and platelet), prognostic nutrition index (PNI), and modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS)) were calculated. The prognostic value of the indices was analyzed by univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS: Elevated NLR, CLR, PLR, NAR, CAR, PAR, and mGPS were associated with a worse overall survival (p = 0.0124, 0.0011, 0.049, 0.0047, 0.0085, 0.0332, and 0.0086, respectively) in univariate analysis. Multivariate analysis showed that elevated CLR and DD-LPS were associated with poor overall survival (p = 0.0267 and 0.0218, respectively) in all retroperitoneal STS. In DD-LPD, patients with preoperative high CLR, whose postoperative CLR was normalized, demonstrated a favorable survival rate similar to those with preoperative low CLR. CONCLUSIONS: Elevated CLR before surgery as well as DD-LPS were poor prognostic markers for overall survival in primary retroperitoneal STS. Perioperative CLR normalization may be related to a favorable prognosis in DD-LPS.
