Study on the relationship between the prognosis nutritional index and clinicopathology of breast carcinoma

ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between prognosis nutritional index(PNI), prognosis and clinicopathology of breast cancer.

MethodsThe clinical data and following-up data of breast cancer patients from January 2014 to January 2017 were retrospectively analyzed.The relationships between PNI, and pathology and postoperative complications were analyzed.

ResultsThe incidence rate of postoperative complications in patients with high PNI score was lower(P < 0.01), and PNI was related to Her-2 and Ki-67.The positive rates of Her-2 and Ki-67 in patients with PNI more than or equal to 45 were less than those in patients with PNI less than 45(P < 0.05).The tumor size in patients with PNI more than or equal to 45 was less than that in patients with PNI less than 45(P < 0.01).The local recurrence rates of breast cancer in patients with PNI more than or equal to 45 and PNI less than 45 were 3.33% and 13.3%, respectively, and the difference of which was not statistically significant(P > 0.05), and the systemic metastasis rate in patients with PNI more than or equal to 45(5%) was lower than that in patients with PNI less than 45(20%)(P < 0.05).

ConclusionsPNI is a prognostic index of breast cancer, which is simple and easy to perform.
