ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the relationship between T lymphocyte subsets,neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio(NLR) and lung cancer pathological classification,clinical stage of non-small cell lung cancer.Methods The proportion of T lymphocyte subsets in 60 patients with lung cancer were detected by flow cytometry,the NLR were measured by blood sampling.Results The proportion of CD4+T lymphocytes,the proportion of CD8+T lymphocytes,CD4+/CD8+ and NLR in patients with lung adenocarcinoma,lung squamous cell carcinoma,small cell lung cancer patients were not statistically significant.The proportion of CD4+T lymphocytes and CD4+/CD8+ in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer(stage Ⅲ~Ⅳ) were lower(P<0.05) than in the early group(stage Ⅰ~Ⅱ).The proportion of CD8+T lymphocytes and NLR in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer(stage Ⅲ~Ⅳ) were higher(P<0.05) than that of early stage group(stage Ⅰ~Ⅱ).Conclusion The T lymphocyte subsets and NLR in the peripheral blood of non-small cell lung cancer patients have a certain correlation with the clinical stage of non-small cell lung cancer,which can be used as a reference index for clinical staging.
