Summary | BACKGROUND/AIM:We investigated the prognostic nutritional index (PNI), comprised of lymphocytes and albumin, as a potential prognosticator of metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) patients receiving pembrolizumab.PATIENTS AND METHODS:Sixty-five patients were retrospectively enrolled and classified as low (<40) and high (≥40) based on pretreatment PNI. Progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and response rates were evaluated.RESULTS:In the low PNI group, significantly shorter PFS and OS were observed. PNI was shown to be an independent predictor of PFS and OS in the multivariate analysis. C-index for both PFS and OS improved with the addition of PNI to the model described in the KEYNOTE-045 study. Significantly more patients experienced initial disease progression in the low PNI group.CONCLUSION:PNI is a useful predictor of prognosis and disease progression in mUC patients receiving pembrolizumab. |
