Prognostic Role of Lung Immune Scores for Prediction of Survival in Limited-stage Small Cell Lung Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background/aim

Previous studies have suggested the prognostic value of the Lung Immune Prediction Index (LIPI) and the Gustave Roussy Score (GRIM) as prognostic markers in advanced small cell lung cancer (SCLC). However, LIPI and GRIM score have not been evaluated in patients with limited stage SCLC (LS-SCLC).

Patients and methods

Pretreatment LIPI and GRIM score of 33 (43%) patients out of 77 LS-SCLC patients treated with chemoradiotherapy (CRT) during 2004-2015 were included.

Results

The median overall survival (OS) time in the good, intermediate, and poor LIPI subgroups were 14, 17 and 3 months (p=0.973) and 14, 17 and 17 months in the GRIM subgroups. In univariate analysis, patients age <65 years (p=0.008), concurrent chemotherapy (p=0.028), and administering prop
