Abstract

BACKGROUND:

Lymphopenia during definitive radiotherapy (RT) has been shown to reduce survival in patients with cervical cancer. However, there are few studies on the significance of onset time of lymphopenia during RT in patients with cervical cancer.

OBJECTIVE:

This study aimed to exam the prognostic significance of early onset of severe lymphopenia (EOSL) during definitive RT in patients with cervical cancer.

METHODS:

Newly diagnosed cervical cancer patients treated with definitive RT from January 2015 to December 2019 were eligible for this retrospective study. EOSL was defined as first onset of grade 3–4 lymphopenia ⩽⩽ 3 weeks from the start of RT. Mean body dose (MBD) was the mean radiation dose absorbed by the body during the whole course of external beam RT (EBRT) and was directly obtained from the dose volume histogram (DVH) of the EBRT planning. Logistic regression analysis and restricted cubic spline (RCS) models were applied to assess relationships between clinicopathological factors and EOSL. Survival analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank test. A COX regression model was developed to predict overall survival (OS).

RESULTS:

A total of 104 patients were included and 59.6% had EOSL. MBD (P= 0.04), concurrent cisplatin (P= 0.011), and pre-RT absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) (P= 0.001) were associated with EOSL. A linear relationship (P for non-linearity == 0.803) between MBD and risk of EOSL was found. Patients with EOSL had decreased OS (2-yr 75.1% vs 91.1%, P= 0.021) and progression-free survival (PFS) (2-yr 71.2% vs 83.7%, P= 0.071). An OS prediction COX model was developed with C-index of 0.835 and AUC of 0.872.

CONCLUSIONS:

EOSL during definitive RT correlates with MBD and predicts poor survival in patients with cervical cancer.
