Inflammation is widely recognized to play an important role in cancer progression and is related to thrombosis. Soluble P-selectin (sP-selectin) is one of several biomarkers that may be predictive of thrombosis in cancer. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between monocyte count and sP-selectin in various stages of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Methods   Fifty-five patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma were divided into three groups according to nodal and distant metastasis (group of stages I-IVA, IVB, and IVC). Monocyte count was calculated from routine peripheral blood examination, while sP-selectin level was measured using commercial ELISA kit.Results   The monocyte count of subjects in groups IVB and IVC was significantly higher compared to group I-IVA (707/ μ L versus 528/ μ L,  p  = 0.022; 841/ μ L versus 528/ μ L,  p  = 0.005). Plasma levels of sP-selectin in group IVC were higher than group I-IVA (59.5 ng/mL versus 41.97 ng/mL,  p  = 0.001) and group IVB (59.5 ng/mL versus 45.53 ng/mL,  p  = 0.007). In subjects with high monocyte count (>665/ μ L), there was moderate correlation between monocyte count and sP-selectin ( r  = 0.436,  p  = 0.022).Conclusion   Advanced stages of nasopharyngeal carcinoma had higher levels of monocyte count and sP-selectin compared to earlier stages. Monocyte count was correlated with sP-selectin especially in high monocyte count subgroup.
