T-lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) is a highly aggressive neoplasm of lymphoblasts of T-cell origin. Although promising improvements have been recently achieved, one third of patients experience relapse or refractory T-LBL. Therefore, optimal strategies for identifying high-risk patients are urgently needed.
In the present study, 75 newly diagnosed adult patients (aged ≥15 years) with T-LBL were identified and the predictive value of complete blood count (CBC) abnormalities, including lymphocyte-monocyte ratio (LMR), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) on clinical outcomes, was analyzed.
Using the receiver operating characteristic curve to determine the best cutoff values based on survival, it was found that patients with T-LBL with LMR ≤2.8, NLR ≥3.3, and PLR ≥200 had both inferior progression-free survival (PFS) and inferior overall survival (OS), in which the differences were much more remarkable in the international prognostic index score 0-2 subgroup. In the multivariable analysis, NLR ≥3.3 together with age >40 years and central nervous system (CNS) involvement were identified to be independently associated with shortened PFS, whereas PLR ≥200 and CNS involvement were identified to be independent risk factors for OS. LMR, NLR, and PLR were integrated to generate a "CBC score" model, which well separated adult patients with T-LBL into three risk groups, and the 3-year OS was 84%, 53%, and 30% for low-, intermediate-, and high-risk patients, respectively.
Overall, a "CBC score" model was initially promoted for stratification in adult patients with T-LBL using simple, widely available, and easy to interpret parameters in the largest adult T-LBL cohort to date.
Optimal strategies for identifying high-risk patients with T-lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) are urgently needed. In the largest adult T-LBL cohort to date, simple, inexpensive, widely available parameters were applied and revealed that patients with lymphocyte-monocyte ratio (LMR) ≤2.8, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) ≥3.3, and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) ≥200 had both inferior progression-free survival and inferior overall survival (OS), in which the differences were much more remarkable in the international prognostic index score 0-2 subgroup. LMR, NLR, and PLR were integrated to generate a "complete blood count score" model, in which the 3-year OS was 84%, 53%, and 30% for low-, intermediate-, and high-risk patients, respectively.
T 淋巴母细胞淋巴瘤(T-LBL)是一种来源于 T 细胞的淋巴母细胞来源的高度侵袭性肿瘤。尽管最近取得了有希望的改善,但仍有三分之一的患者出现 T-LBL 复发或难治。因此,迫切需要确定高危患者的最佳策略。
本研究共纳入 75 例新诊断的成人 T-LBL 患者(年龄≥15 岁),分析了全血细胞计数(CBC)异常,包括淋巴细胞-单核细胞比值(LMR)、中性粒细胞-淋巴细胞比值(NLR)和血小板-淋巴细胞比值(PLR)对临床结局的预测价值。
使用基于生存的受试者工作特征曲线确定最佳截断值,发现 LMR≤2.8、NLR≥3.3 和 PLR≥200 的 T-LBL 患者的无进展生存期(PFS)和总生存期(OS)均较差,在国际预后指数评分 0-2 亚组中差异更为显著。在多变量分析中,NLR≥3.3 以及年龄>40 岁和中枢神经系统(CNS)受累被确定为与较短的 PFS 相关,而 PLR≥200 和 CNS 受累被确定为 OS 的独立危险因素。LMR、NLR 和 PLR 整合生成了一个“CBC 评分”模型,该模型很好地将成人 T-LBL 患者分为低、中、高危三组,低、中、高危患者的 3 年 OS 分别为 84%、53%和 30%。
总之,在迄今为止最大的成人 T-LBL 队列中,使用简单、广泛可用且易于解释的参数,初步提出了一个“CBC 评分”模型,用于成人 T-LBL 患者的分层。
目前迫切需要确定 T 淋巴母细胞淋巴瘤(T-LBL)高危患者的最佳策略。在迄今为止最大的成人 T-LBL 队列中,应用了简单、廉价、广泛可用的参数,结果显示,淋巴细胞-单核细胞比值(LMR)≤2.8、中性粒细胞-淋巴细胞比值(NLR)≥3.3 和血小板-淋巴细胞比值(PLR)≥200 的患者无进展生存期和总生存期(OS)均较差,在国际预后指数评分 0-2 亚组中差异更为显著。LMR、NLR 和 PLR 整合生成了一个“全血细胞计数评分”模型,低、中、高危患者的 3 年 OS 分别为 84%、53%和 30%。
