Background: The most effective treatment for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is surgical resection. Nevertheless, up to 20% of patients, even those with stage I NSCLC, relapse after surgery and die. The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is used to assess immunonutritional conditions or is a predictor of postoperative recurrence in patients with digestive malignancies. However, the usefulness of the PNI for lung cancer is still unknown. We retrospectively analyzed clinicopathological features of stage I NSCLC patients to identify predictors of recurrence and to investigate effects of preoperative PNI levels.Methods: We selected 141 consecutive stage I NSCLC patients who were treated from August 2005 to August 2010. We measured their preoperative PNI levels in uni- and multivariate Cox regression analyses of recurrence-free survival.Results: A low PNI was significantly associated with sex (P = 0.0117), preoperative serum carcino embryonic antigen levels (P = 0.0228), and postoperative recurrence (P < 0.0001). In multivariate analysis, PNI (RR: 9.243; 95% CI: 3.662-25.823; P
