Abstract:
121 Background: Systemic inflammation has been linked to worse outcome in metastatic prostate cancer. This study analyzes the influence of complete blood count (CBC) on outcome after curative radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer. Methods: We reviewed our institutional database of patients with localized prostate cancer treated with either definitive external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) or brachytherapy from September 2001- June 2014. Data on pre-treatment CBC such as hemoglobin (Hgb), mean corpuscular volume(MCV) and platelet count (PLT) were available in 1,021 pts, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in 1,015 pts. Univariate and multivariate cox proportional hazards models were used to analyze the influence of complete blood count parameters on overall and recurrence free survival (PSA nadir + 2 ng/mL). A p 〈 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Median follow-up was 44 months. 55 patients had biochemical recurrence and 68 patients died.On univariate analysis, increasing risk of biochemical recurrence was associated with a combination of all known risk factors as defined by the Cancer of the Prostate Risk Assessment (CAPRA) score, but not by age. When adjusting for age (p=0.009), CAPRA remained significant (p=0.0003) but no comorbidity or CBC. On univariate analysis for overall survival, CAPRA (p=0.0001) and neutrophil count (p=0.04, HR1.16, 1.01-1.34) as well as a cardiac history (p=0.009) were associated with increased risk of overall mortality. The first multivariate model was adjusted for age and included the CAPRA, comorbidity and CBC variables: age (p=0.006) and CAPRA (p=0.008) were prognostic, neutrophil count was borderline significant (p=0.056, HR 1.17, 0.99-1.37). In a second multivariate model without adjusting for age, neutrophil count was a significant prognostic factor for overall survival (p=0.032, HR 1.18, 1.01-1.38) as well as the CAPRA (p=0.005, HR 1.18, 1.05-1.33). Conclusions: In this testing cohort, neutrophil count was an independent risk factor for increased overall mortality in patients with localized prostate cancer. The influence of age on this prognostic factor will be further studied. A validation cohort is needed to corroborate these results.
