Abstract
Simple Summary Pancreatic cancer (PC) has a poor prognosis; however, diagnosing PC at an earlier stage could improve long-term patient outcomes. Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) plays an important role in PC detection, and the indirect findings (caliber change, retention cysts, and dilatation of the branch duct) that are detected by EUS are especially important for the early detection of PC. The aim of this retrospective study was to compare the diagnostic efficacy of radial- and convex-arrayed echoendoscope for the detection rate of indirect findings. As a result, the radial-arrayed echoendoscope was found to be an independent detection factor of indirect findings by multivariate analysis. The radial-arrayed echoendoscope is useful for the detection of indirect findings. Abstract Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is useful for detecting early-stage pancreatic cancer. Because the detection of small lesions is difficult, it is important to detect indirect findings, namely caliber change, retention cysts, and dilatation of the branch duct, during the procedure. Although two types of EUS endoscopes are frequently used, there is no comparative study on their efficacy for detecting indirect findings. Therefore, we aimed to compare the diagnostic efficacy of these two types for indirect findings. We retrospectively analyzed 316 consecutive patients who had undergone EUS for pancreaticobiliary disease at a single center between January 2017 and December 2018. The main outcome was the detection rate of indirect findings and its comparison between the two echoendoscope types. This outcome was achieved using the inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) analysis. The detection rate of indirect findings was higher for the radial-arrayed endoscope than for the convex-arrayed echoendoscope (9.2% vs. 2.3% (p = 0.02)). The univariate analysis also revealed that the radial-arrayed echoendoscope was significantly superior to the convex-arrayed echoendoscope in terms of the detection of indirect findings (odds ratio, 5.94; 95% confidence interval, 1.68–21.10; p = 0.01) after IPTW. After adjustment for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT), radial-arrayed echoendoscope remained an independent factor for indirect finding detection (odds ratio, 6.04; 95% confidence interval, 1.74–21.00; p = 0.01). Finally, five patients who had indirect EUS findings were diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Our results indicate that the radial-arrayed echoendoscope is useful for the detection of indirect findings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the association of preoperative lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) and overall survival (OS) in patients with oral cancer and develop a dynamic nomogram for individualized survival prediction. METHOD The prognostic value of LMR was evaluated in a large-scale cohort with 651 postoperative patients with oral cancer between January 2010 and December 2017. Propensity score-matched (PSM) analysis and inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) analysis were performed to further verify the prognostic value of LMR. A dynamic nomogram was then developed based on the LMR and clinicopathological features, and its predictive performance and clinical utility were evaluated. RESULTS A high LMR was significantly associated with better OS of patients with oral cancer (HR = 0.65; 95% CI = 0.44-0.98). The similar association was also observed in the PSM and IPTW analyses. Moreover, compared with TNM staging system, the dynamic nomogram based on the LMR exhibited more excellent predictive performance (0.72 versus 0.64, p < .001), with calibration curves (1,000 bootstrap resamples) suggesting good match between the actual and predicted probabilities. Decision curve analyses (DCAs) showed a more significant positive net benefit in the practical ranges of threshold probabilities using the dynamic nomogram. CONCLUSION Preoperative LMR may serve as an easily accessible and non-invasive prognostic biomarker for predicting the prognosis of patients with oral cancer. A dynamic nomogram based on the LMR may show more convenience in survival prediction for patients with oral cancer. Further future studies are warranted to confirm our findings.
