- Abstract
Background: This study was performed to assess the impact of osteopenia on chemotherapy-induced neutropenia and the prognosis for patients treated with FOLFOXIRI for colorectal cancer., Methods: In total, 77 patients who underwent FOLFOXIRI for un-resectable metastatic and advanced colorectal cancer were retrospectively evaluated. Osteopenia was evaluated by the bone mineral density, which was measured using the average pixel density of the trabecular bone in the 11th thoracic vertebra by computed tomography before the introduction of chemotherapy. The relationship between osteopenia and neutropenia was evaluated. Progression-free survival and overall survival of patients with osteopenia and patients with neutropenia were evaluated., Results: Grade ≥ 3 neutropenia was significantly more common in patients with than without osteopenia (p = 0.002). The multivariate analysis showed that osteopenia was a significant independent predictive factor for grade ≥ 3 neutropenia (p = 0.016). There was no significant difference in progression-free survival or overall survival between patients with and without osteopenia. Patients with grade ≥ 3 neutropenia tended to have a higher progression-free survival rate than others (p = 0.059). The overall survival rate was significantly higher in patients with grade ≥ 3 neutropenia than in others (p = 0.011)., Conclusion: Osteopenia might be a predictor of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia, and neutropenia might be a prognostic factor for progression-free survival and overall survival in patients with colorectal cancer treated with FOLFOXIRI., (© 2022.
