Prognostic Implication of Inflammation-based Prognostic Scores in Patients with Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma Treated with First-line Gemcitabine plus Cisplatin

Summary

Background We aimed to comprehensively evaluate the prognostic value of inflammation-based prognostic scores, including the modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS), neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet–lymphocyte ratio (PLR), exclusively in patients with advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA). Methods Between May 2010 and April 2015, 305 patients with histologically documented unresectable or metastatic iCCA were treated with first-line gemcitabine plus cisplatin (GemCis). Among these, 257 patients had complete data for inflammation-based prognostic scores and were included. Results Median age was 59 (range: 27–78) years, and 158 patients (61.5%) were males. High mGPS was independently associated with poor progression-free survival (PFS; mGPS ≥1 vs. 0: median, 3.9 vs. 5.5 months; P = 0.001) and overall survival (OS; mGPS ≥1 vs. 0; median, 6.9 vs. 14.1 months; P = 0.002) in the multivariate analysis. Regarding high NLR (> median) and PLR (> median), although a potential association existed with poor PFS or OS in the univariate analysis, these did not remain as significant in the multivariate analyses. Conclusion The current study suggests that mGPS might be the relevant prognostic index that could stratify the survival outcomes of patients with unresectable or metastatic iCCA who received first-line GemCis.
