Abstract

Purpose

Associations between the preoperative absolute neutrophil count (NC), lymphocyte count (LC), and monocyte count (MC) in the peripheral blood and the prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients have not been widely studied.

Methods

We enrolled 361 patients who underwent surgery for CRC between January 2007 and December 2013 to analyze correlations among the LC, MC, and NC and prognosis.

Results

Based on cut-off values determined by a receiver operating characteristic analysis, patients were subgrouped as LymphHigh or LymphLow (cut-off: LC = 1460 cells/µL); as MonoHigh or MonoLow (cut-off: MC = 421 cells/µL); and as NeutHigh or NeutLow (cut-off: NC = 3247 cells/µL). Patients were then given lymphocyte–monocyte–neutrophil (LMN) scores by adding the points of their different subgroups (1 point each for LymphLow, MonoHigh and NeutHigh; 0 points for LymphHigh, MonoLow and NeutLow). The 5-year overall survival rates significantly differed by the LMN score (0: 89.7%, 1: 80.6%, 2: 68.8%, and 3: 57.4%; P < 0.0001). In the multivariate analysis, the LMN score was found to be an independent prognostic indicator.

Conclusions

The combination of the preoperative absolute number of lymphocytes, monocytes, and neutrophils is a useful prognostic indicator in CRC patients.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.

S2e-Leitlinie „Distale Radiusfraktur“

Radiusfraktur BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Webinar beschäftigt sich mit Fragen und Antworten zu Diagnostik und Klassifikation sowie Möglichkeiten des Ausschlusses von Zusatzverletzungen. Die Referenten erläutern, welche Frakturen konservativ behandelt werden können und wie. Das Webinar beantwortet die Frage nach aktuellen operativen Therapiekonzepten: Welcher Zugang, welches Osteosynthesematerial? Auf was muss bei der Nachbehandlung der distalen Radiusfraktur geachtet werden?
