    Background
    

    Pretreatment nutritional status critically affects the clinical outcomes. Induction chemoradiotherapy (iCRT) followed by surgery (trimodality therapy) is a high-invasive treatment option for patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC). LA-NSCLC is a heterogeneous disease. Direct invasion into the surrounding structures easily promotes the invasion-related symptoms which inpair quality of life, but lymph node metastasis rarely causes its related symptoms until the bulky metastatic lymph nodes invade the surrounding structures. These differences of disease extent are expected to affect not only clinical outcome of treatment but also nutritional condition before initiation of treatment. While the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is known to be correlated with the clinical outcomes after surgery in patients with early NSCLC, the significance of the PNI in LA-NSCLC patients undergoing trimodality therapy has not yet been well examined. In this study, we investigated the clinical impact of PNI in the LA-NSCLC patients who underwent iCRT followed by surgery considering the heterogeneity of disease extent.

    Method
    

    We enrolled 127 patients who received trimodality therapy at our institution between 1999 and 2016. The PNI was examined at all three time-points in the patients: before iCRT, before surgery, and after surgery.

    Result
    

    Fifty-five and 72 patients were diagnosed as clinical T1/2 (cT1/2) and cT3/4 diseases, respectively, and, 42 and 85 patients were cN0/1 and cN2/3, respectively. The PNI significantly decreased as the treatment progressed among all 127 patients. Patients with cT3/4 disease showed significantly lower PNI values before and after surgery than those with cT1/2 disease. By contrast, the PNIs were equivalent at all time-points between patients with cN2/3 and cN0/1 disease. We performed receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis to determine the cutoff the pre-iCRT PNI for overall survival (OS) in all (n = 127), cT3/4 (n = 72) and cN2/3 patients. The ROC curve analyses indicated that a significant cutoff was identified only in cT3/4 patients. Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that high pre-iCRT PNI values were significantly correlated with better survival in cT3/4 patients. By contrast, the prognostic impact of pre-iCRT PNI values could not be observed in cN2/3 patients

    Conclusion
    

    The nutritional status deteriorates as the treatment progresses during trimodality therapy. Intensive perioperative nutritional intervention is required especially for cT3/4 LA-NSCLC patients receiving trimodality therapy.
