Abstract

Background

Accurately identifying malignant components in patients with pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) remains challenging. Preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a marker of poor prognosis in patients with several types of malignancy. This study assessed whether NLR was predictive of intraductal papillary mucinous carcinoma (IPMC) in patients with IPMN.

Method

This study retrospectively assessed 76 patients who underwent curative resection for IPMN from 1995 to 2015. The correlation between the presence of malignant components and preoperative NLR was analyzed.

Results

Preoperative NLR in IPMC was significantly higher in patients with in IPMC (2.51 ± 0.84) than in patients with intraductal papillary mucinous adenoma (2.01 ± 0.71, P = 0.0079) and healthy volunteers (1.37 ± 0.33, P < 0.0001). NLR was significantly reduced after curative tumor resection. The main duct type (P = 0.0231) and NLR >2.074 (P = 0.0329) were independent predictors of IPMC in all patients. Combined criteria including international consensus guidelines, CA19-9 >37 IU/ml, and NLR >2.074 shows a high positive predictive value of 78 % and high specificity of 96 %.

Conclusions

Preoperative NLR is a useful supportive marker to predict IPMC in patients with IPMN.

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.
