Abstract
Background Oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is a kind of squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck, and its incidence is on the rise in recent years. A variety of prognostic markers for OPSCC have been reported in many studies, but they are expensive or difficult to obtain. So, we retrospectively studied the prognostic significance of cytokeratin 19 soluble fragment (Cyfra21-1) in patients with OPSCC, in order to provide theoretical basis for accurate prognosis assessment. Methods A retrospective analysis of the clinicopathological data of 85 OPSCC patients with concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy (CRT) admitted from January 2010 to June 2017. Serum Cyfra21-1 levels were measured before treatment. Analyze the relationship between Cyfra21-1 and clinical pathological characteristics of patients. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to calculate the cut-off value of Cyfra21-1. The Cox proportional hazard model was used to conduct univariate and multivariate analysis of related prognostic factors, and to determine the factors related to overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Results The cutoff value for Cyfra21-1 was 2.93 ng/mL. The baseline data of patients in different Cyfra21-1 groups were balanced and comparable. In the univariate and multivariate analyses, it was found that Cyfra21-1 was associated with OS and PFS. A measurement of Cyfra21-1 ≥2.93 ng/mL indicated poor OS (P<0.001) and PFS (P=0.001). After adjusting for age and disease stage, Cyfra21-1 can independently affect the OS (HR =3.57, 95% CI: 1.60-7.99, P=0.002) and PFS (HR =2.89, 95% CI: 1.41-5.91, P=0.004) of patients with OPSCC treated with CRT. Conclusions Pre-treatment Cyfra21-1 can be used as a prognostic marker for patients with OPSCC treated with CRT, which has important clinical significance.
