Abstract:Objective To explore whether neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) or β-human chronic gonadotropin (β-hCG) along or in combination can predict the risk of malignant transformation from hydatidiform mole to gestational trophoblastic neoplasm (GTN). Methods This study recruited hydatidiform mole patients who attended the gynecology departments of the affiliated Hospital of Qinghai University and Qinghai Red Cross Hospital, from January 2015 to December 2017. Those patients were given standardized diagnosis and treatment throughout the study period, and visited regularly. A total of 175 patients with hydatidiform mole were finally enrolled in this study. According to β-hCG levels measured 2 years after curettage, those patients were divided into a malignant group (n=38) and a cured group (n=137). The blood routine testing results on neutrophil (N), lymphocyte (L), and platelet count (PLT) were collected before and after uterine curettage. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio were further derived. We evaluated how those clinical markers could predict the malignant transformation using the area under the curve (AUC) statistic derived from the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Results For N, NLR, PLR or lgβ-hCG measured before the first curettage, the mean value in the malignant group was significantly higher than that in the cured group (P<0.05). Mean L value in the cured group was significantly higher than that in the malignant group (P<0.05). Among the clinical markers measured before first curettage, for NLR=3.23, PLR=159.38, or their combination, the AUC was estimated as 0.727 (P<0.05, 95%CI:0.63-0.82), 0.675 (P<0.05, 95%CI:0.58-0.78), or 0.724 (P<0.05,95%CI:0.65~0.79), respectively; Among the markers measured after curettage, PLR=129.2, the AUC was 0.636 (P<0.05, 95%CI:0.56-0.71). Conclusion Among hydatidiform mole patients, the risk of malignant transformation can be predicted by NLR and PLR before the first curettage, or PLR after curettage.
