    Abstract:
    The present study compared the prognostic value of the modified Glasgow prognostic score (mGPS) and high-sensitivity mGPS (HS-mGPS) in unresectable locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcimona (LAESCC) patients treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). The baseline data of 163 eligible patients were retrospectively collected. Patients with a C-reactive protein (CRP) ≤ 10 mg/l and albumin ≥ 35 g/l were allocated to mGPS-0 group. Patients with only elevated CRP (> 10 mg/l) were assigned to mGPS-1 group. Patients who had both elevated CRP (> 10 mg/l) and hypoalbuminurea (< 35 g/l) were assigned to mGPS-2 group. The HS-mGPS was calculated based on cutoff values of 3mg/l for CRP and the same value (35 g/l) for albumin. Prognostic significance for both tumor response and overall survival (OS) was analyzed by univariate and multivariate analysis. The mGPS was 0 in 95 patients, 1 in 28 patient and 2 in 40 patients. In contrast, the HS-mGPS was 0 in 66 patients, 1 in 47 patients and 2 in 50 patients. In multivariate analysis, the HS-mGPS was the only positive factor for tumor response (P = 0.015). Both the mGPS (P < 0.001) and HS-mGPS (P < 0.001) were good prognostic predictors for OS. However, the HS-mGPS was found to be a superior prognostic predictor compared to the mGPS in a multivariate analysis (P = 0.006). In conclusion, the pretreatment HS-mGPS is a strong prognosticator superior to the mGPS for both tumor response and OS in LAESCC patients who received CCRT.
