Aim: To evaluate the prediction ability of neutrophils and develop a nomogram on radiosensitivity in thoracic cancer patients. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 398 lung and esophageal cancers patients who received external-beam radiotherapy or concurrent chemoradiotherapy as first-line therapy. Results: Logistic regression model showed that patients with low levels of neutrophil counts and/or TGF-1 exhibited better radiation sensitivity. Furthermore, a nomogram was created to predict radiotherapy sensitivity. The combination of neutrophil count and TGF-1 level was an independent prognostic factor for lung and esophageal cancers patients. Conclusion: The study developed a nomogram based on the levels of circulating neutrophils and TGF-1. The prediction value in radiosensitivity and protumorigenic effect of neutrophils might owe to N2 tumor-associated neutrophils.
