摘要
Background In 2017, nivolumab monotherapy was shown to be effective as third- or later-line therapy in patients with advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer. Objective In this study, we investigated the relationship between the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the outcomes of nivolumab monotherapy in patients with gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer. Patients and Methods The long-term outcomes and treatment responses to nivolumab monotherapy were assessed in patients with gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer. We compared patients with a NLR > 2.5 and those with a NLR <= 2.5 at the time of starting nivolumab monotherapy. Results The proportion of patients who have received three or more regimens was higher in the NLR > 2.5 group than in the NLR <= 2.5 group. The disease control rate was significantly worse in the NLR > 2.5 group than in the NLR <= 2.5 group (23% and 46%, respectively; p = 0.044). Overall survival was significantly better in the NLR <= 2.5 group than in the NLR > 2.5 group. Multivariate analysis showed that the macroscopic type, primary site resection, and the NLR were independent prognostic factors for overall survival (hazard ratio [95% confidence interval], 2.586 [1.286-5.203], 0.473 [0.260-0.861], and 1.736 [1.007-2.992], respectively). Conclusions This study demonstrates that the NLR is an independent prognostic factor in patients with gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer treated with nivolumab monotherapy. Careful attention must be paid when nivolumab monotherapy is used to treat patients with gastric cancer with a NLR > 2.5.
