RESUMO
Objective Endometrial cancer (EMC) is a most common malignancy in the female reproductive system. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) with the prognosis of EMC. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical and follow-up data about 153 EMC patients surgically treated in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. Based on the cutoff values of NLR and PLR, we divided the patients into a high and a low value group,and analyzed the relationships of NLR and PLR with clinical pathological features and prognosis of the patients. Results There were statistically significant differences between the high value group(NLR>3.40) and the low value group (NLR≤3.40) in the FIGO stage,pathological grade,invasion depth,and lymph node metastasis(P<0.05). No sig-nificant correlation was found between the PLR and the prognosis EMC (P>0.05). COX regression analysis showed that FIGO stageⅢ-Ⅳ (P<0.001),pathological grade G3(P=0.022) and NLR>3.4(P=0.004) were independent risk factors for the overall surviv-al and disease-free survival of the EMC patients. Conclusion High preoperative NLR was closely related with the FIGO stage, pathological grade,invasion depth,and lymph node metastasis in pa-tients with endometrial cancer.
