Abstract

AbstractBackgroundPapillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most common type of differentiated thyroid cancer. Early identification of patients at higher risk of recurrence may allow to improve relevant follow‐up strategies and plan tailored treatment. Inflammation play an important role in the prognosis of cancer. We aimed to explore the predictive value of systemic inflammatory markers in PTC recurrence.MethodsWe retrospectively enrolled 200 consecutive patients who were diagnosed with PTC and underwent curative resection at Lianyungang Oriental Hospital between January 2006 and December 2018. Clinicopathological characteristics, preoperative hematologic results were analyzed. The optimal cutoff values were calculated using x‐tile software. The multivariate logistic regression and univariable survival analysis were performed by SPSS.ResultsMultivariable analysis showed that lymph node metastases (odds ratio [OR] = 2.506, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.226–5.119, p = 0.012) and higher monocyte‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (MLR) (OR = 2.100, 95% CI: 1.042–4.233, p = 0.038) were independent prognostic factors for tumor recurrence. The cutoff value 0.22 of MLR significantly predicted recurrence at 53.3% sensitivity and 67.9% specificity. Patients with MLR ≥ 0.22 exhibited significantly poor long‐term prognosis (46.8%) compared to the counterpart (76.8%, p = 0.0004).ConclusionsPreoperative MLR significantly predicted PTC recurrence after curative resection, which may provide clues for early identification of patients at higher risk of PTC recurrence.
