Context: A grading system was created by Donald F. Gleason for prostate cancer as prognostic indicators. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was found that it could be a prognostic factor in solid tumors.
Aims: This study aims to assess whether there is a correlation between NLR with the results of the Gleason score of patients with prostate adenocarcinoma biopsy at Haji Adam Malik Hospital Medan.
Settings and Design: A total of 121 patients underwent a prostate biopsy from early January 2013 to December 2015 at Adam Malik Hospital.
Subjects and Methods: Of the 121 patients, thirty were not included in the study because of incomplete baseline data and a history of hematological abnormalities. Data from 91 patients were then taken, including age, hematologic data prebiopsy, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) on initial examination, prostate weight estimation, and Gleason scores from biopsy results.
Statistical Analysis Used: The data are processed with SPSS version 22.
Results: A significant moderate strength correlation was found between NLR and Gleason Score (r = 0.572; P = 0.001). However, no statistically significant correlation found between NLR and prostate weight estimation (r = 0.077; P = 0.469) and NLR with PSA (r = 0.072; P = 0.496).
Conclusions: A significant correlation between the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and the Gleason score was noted. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings.
