Resumo

Objetivos Avaliação da razão neutrófilos/linfócitos (RNL) pré-operatória, como fator preditor do risco de recorrência e progressão tumoral em doentes com carcinoma da bexiga não músculo invasivo (CBNMI).

Material e Métodos Análise retrospetiva dos doentes diagnosticados com CBNMI após serem submetidos a ressecção transuretral vesical (RTUV), entre janeiro de 2013 a dezembro de 2014. Foram excluídos os casos que não apresentavam hemograma com leucograma prévio à cirurgia e os doentes com tumores síncronos.

Foi realizada análise estatística multivariada com o software SPSS 22.0®, com as seguintes variáveis: idade, sexo, tempo até ocorrer recorrência ou progressão da doença (em meses), RNL, dimensão do tumor (≤3 ou >3cm), tumor múltiplo, histologia e grau inicial do tumor.

Resultados Foram avaliados 84 pacientes, sendo 79.8% do sexo masculino e com idade média de 69 anos. Em 67,9% dos casos o estadio tumoral inicial foi pTa e 77.4% dos tumores eram de baixo grau. Em 21.4% dos doentes o tumor era múltiplo e em 33.3% apresenta dimensões superiores a 3 cm. Observou-se recorrência tumoral em 19% dos indivíduos e progressão em  16.4%. Os pacientes com RNL>3.32 apresentaram mais frequentemente pT1 como histologia inicial do tumor (p=0.018). Em analise multivariada, a RNL>3.32 revelou estar associada a maior probabilidade de recorrência/progressão tumoral (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.94; 95% CI: 1.27–6.8; p =0. 012).

Conclusões Este estudo revela que a RNL pode ser um fator preditor de recorrência/progressão tumoral em pacientes com CBNMI, podendo ter um papel importante na prática clínica.
