Özet
Purpose: This study aimed to assess the effect of pretreat- ment albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) score on treatment outcomes in pancreatic cancer (PC) patients with liver metastasis at the time of diagnosis treated with chemotherapy (CT) in the first-line setting. Methods: This was a retrospective study of 273 PC patients >= 18 years of age who had liver metastasis at the time of diagnosis and received CT in the first-line. ALBI score was calculated through the following formula; [(log10 bilirubin (mu mol/L)x0.66)+[albumin(g/l)x-0.0852]. Patients were strati- fied into 3 categories based on the ALBI score as follows; grade I:ALBI <=-2.60, grade II:-2.60-1.39. Results: A total of 273 patients, [180 (65.9%) men and 93 (34.1%) women], were evaluated. The median age was 60 years. ALBI grade was I in 45 (16.4%) patients, II in 156 (57.1%) patients, and III in 72 (26.5%) patients. Based on the ALBI grade, median progression-free survival (mPFS) was 9 months in grade I patients, 6 months in grade II patients, and 4 months in grade III patients (p=0.002), with median overall survival (mOS) durations of 12 months vs. 8 months vs. 5 months, respectively (p<0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that ALBI grade II (HR,1.543) or III (HR,2.260) negatively affected survival. Conclusion: A higher pretreatment ALBI grade is related to worse OS and PFS in PC patients with liver metastasis treated with a first-line CT, and therefore it can help predict the treatment outcomes in these patients.
