Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the predictive value of pretreatment fibrinogen (FIB) levels in patients with cancer who received immunotherapy as a second‑line treatment. A total of 61 patients with stage III‑IV cancer were included. The cut‑off value of FIB for predicting overall survival (OS) was determined by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. The prognostic value of pretreatment FIB on progression‑free survival (PFS) and OS was determined by univariate and multivariate analyses. Based on a cut‑off point of 3.47 g/l, patients were divided into low pretreatment FIB (<3.47 g/l) and high pretreatment FIB (≥3.47 g/l) groups. A high pretreatment FIB level was more common in older patients (P=0.03). Kaplan‑Meier analysis showed that patients with high pretreatment FIB levels had shorter PFS and OS times than patients with low FIB levels (P<0.05). In multivariate analysis, pretreatment FIB was an independent prognostic factor for OS [hazard ratio (HR), 6.06; 95% CI, 2.01‑18.28; P<0.01] and OS from the initiation of second‑line treatment (HR, 3.69; 95% CI, 1.28‑10.63; P=0.02). Overall, FIB is associated with survival outcome in patients with cancer who are administered immunotherapy as a second‑line treatment.
