Abstract

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of preoperative mean platelet volume to plateletcrit (MPV/PCT) ratio in patients with osteosarcoma.

Materials And Methods: The retrospective study included 188 consecutive osteosarcoma patients who experienced neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgical resection of tumor. The relationships between MPV/PCT and clinicopathological characteristics were analyzed. The Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression proportional hazard model were applied to assess the prognostic value of MPV/PCT ratio.

Results: MPV/PCT ratio was found to be significantly associated with platelet count, platelet distribution width, and PCT (all <0.001). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that high MPV/PCT ratio (≥43.58) was associated with a prolonged disease-free survival (DFS, =0.035). The multivariate Cox revealed that only good chemotherapy response was an independent predictor of better DFS in the overall population. However, the stratification analysis showed that a high MPV/PCT ratio (≥43.58) was indicated as an independent prognostic factor for a favorable DFS (HR =0.137, 95%CI =0.029-0.644, =0.012) in the male osteosarcoma patients but not in female patients.

Conclusion: The high preoperative MPV/PCT ratio may serve as an independent prognostic factor for a favorable prognosis in male osteosarcoma patients. Further studies are needed to confirm the findings.
