Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this retrospective study was to explore whether pretreatment Pan-Immune-Inflammation-Value (PIV) measurements might predict the risk of mandibular osteoradionecrosis (ORN) in patients receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) for locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer (LA-NPC).MethodsThe platelet, monocyte, neutrophil, and lymphocyte counts acquired on the first day of CCRT were used to compute pretreatment PIV levels: PIV = (Platelets x Monocytes x Neutrophils) & DIVIDE; Lymphocytes. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to determine the association between ORN rates and PIV levels. Spearman correlation analysis was used to examine the probable intergroup correlations. The potential link between the pretreatment PIV levels and the post-treatment ORN rates was determined as the primary objective.Results: 21 (10.0%) of 210 eligible patients were diagnosed with ORN. The optimal pre-CCRT PIV cutoff was 833, which separated patients into two PIV groups with divergent ORN prevalence estimates: Group 1: PIV < 833 (N = 153), and Group 2: PIV & GE; 833 (N = 57). The comparison analysis found that the PIV & GE; 833 cohort had significantly higher ORN rates than the PIV < 833 cohort (29.8% vs. 2.6%; P < 0.001). Other characteristics linked to significantly higher ORN rates were the patient's continuing smoking, the use of the Three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy technique, the mean mandibular dose of & GE; 58.1 Gy, the number of tooth extractions before CCRT & GE; 4, and the presence of tooth extractions after CCRT. The independent importance of all factors on higher ORN occurrence rates were retained in multivariate analysis (P < 0.05).Conclusions: Our findings revealed a strong link between aggravated inflammatory response and ORN genesis, with high pretreatment PIV levels related to significantly higher ORN rates.
