Prognostic value of pre-treatment systemic immune-inflammation index in patients with endometrial cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), which is calculated using absolute platelet, neutrophil, and lymphocyte counts, has recently attracted attentions as a prognostic indicator in patients with solid malignancies. In the current study, we retrospectively investigated the prognostic significance of pre-treatment SII among patients with endometrial cancer.

Method

Endometrial cancer patients treated at Nara medical university hospital between 2008 and 2018 were included in the current study. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to find the optimal SII cut-off values for 3-years progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Then, the predictive abilities of SII and its superiority over neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) were investigated. Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the OS and PFS rates, and log-rank test was used to compare the survival rate between two groups. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis were performed to identify risk factors for PFS and OS.

Result

A total of 442 patients were included in the current study. The cut-off value of SII for predicting PFS and OS were defined by ROC analysis as 931 and 910, respectively. Univariate analyses showed that elevated SII was associated with significantly shorter survival (p <0.001 for both PFS and OS). Cox regression analyses revealed that an advanced FIGO stage (p <0.001 for both PFS and OS) and an elevated SII (p = 0.014 for PFS, p = 0.011 for OS) are the independent prognostic factors for survival. When SII was compared with NLR and PLR, SII showed greater area under curve for predicting survival.

Conclusion

The SII is an independent prognostic factor in endometrial cancer patients, allowing more precise survival estimation than PLR or NLR.

Project description:BackgroundBiomarkers acquired from blood samples are easy to obtain and cost-effective, have attracted considerable interest, and have been widely investigated. Inflammation plays a crucial role in cancer cell initiation, proliferation, and metastasis. We aimed to evaluate the association of the preoperative systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) with the clinical outcomes of patients diagnosed with bladder cancer and who underwent radical cystectomy (RC).Materials and methodsData from patients diagnosed with bladder cancer and who underwent RC from December 2010 to May 2020 in West China Hospital were retrospectively collected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients were divided into a low-SII group and a high-SII group according to the SII level. Survival outcomes were obtained during follow-up. The primary endpoints were overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS). Cox proportional hazard models were performed to estimate the effect of SII on OS and RFS and control for potential confoundings. Subgroup analyses were conducted, and the log likelihood ratio test was used to inspect the interaction.ResultsA total of 725 patients who underwent RC were ultimately involved in this study. Of these patients, 621 (85.66%) were men and 104 (14.34%) were women. The median age was 65 years. The median follow-up was 36 months for OS and 33.6 months for RFS. The optimal cutoff value was identified as 554.23 × 109/l. A total of 467 (64.41%) patients were divided into the low-SII group (SII <554 × 109/l), and 258 (35.59%) patients were divided into the high-SII group (SII ≥554 × 109/l) accordingly. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression demonstrated that a high SII was an independent prognostic factor for worse OS (HR: 1.69 95% CI: 1.02-2.81, P = 0.0436) and RFS (HR: 1.88, 95% CI: 1.09-3.24, P = 0.0229) in NMIBC patients. A high SII was found to be an independent prognostic factor for worse RFS in patients with HBP (HR: 2.11, 95% CI: 1.34-3.30, P = 0.0012), with DM (HR: 3.76, 95% CI: 1.73-8.15, P = 0.0008), and without PNI (HR: 1.32, 95% CI: 1.04-1.69, P = 0.0238).ConclusionsThe SII was a potential prognostic predictor for bladder cancer patients who underwent RC. Further prospective multicenter investigations are warranted.
