Abstract

The aim of the present study was to evaluate 29 whole blood or serum indicators to identify factors able to predict clinical outcome following cytokine‑induced killer (CIK) cell therapy combined with chemotherapy in patients with advanced non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and to evaluate the 5‑year prognosis of the patients. From March 2008 to October 2013, 42 patients with advanced NSCLC (stages III and IV) were enrolled in the study. These patients were from a single hospital, and had been treated with CIK therapy combined with chemotherapy. Evaluation of the correlation between prognosis and age, gender, tumor stage, surgery resection status, number of CIK therapy cycles, tumor subtype, and the differential whole blood or serum indicators were analyzed by Kaplan‑Meier methods and the log‑rank test. The prognostic factors were analyzed by Cox proportional models. The median progression‑free survival (mPFS) time of patients with high expression levels of albumin [20.0 months; 95% confidence interval (CI): 17.4‑22.6 months] was significantly longer than the mPFS for patients with low expression levels of albumin (36.0 months; 95% CI: 24.7‑47.3 months) (P=0.034). Other factors demonstrated no significant difference. Following analysis using the Cox proportional hazards regression model, the number of CIK therapy cycles (P=0.041) and the expression level of albumin (P=0.038) were revealed to be independent prognostic factors following the use of CIK cell therapy combined with chemotherapy for patients with advanced NSCLC. The risk of adverse outcomes in patients receiving ≥4 CIK therapy cycles and in patients with increased expression levels of albumin were 0.38 (95% CI: 0.14‑1.13) and 0.32 (95% CI: 0.10‑1.24)‑fold those of patients receiving <4 CIK therapy cycles and with decreased expression levels of albumin, respectively. The serum albumin concentration may therefore be a predictor of the 5‑year survival rate of patients with advanced NSCLC treated with CIK cell therapy combined with chemotherapy; patients with high expression levels of albumin may have a better prognosis in comparison with patients with low expression levels of albumin.
