Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to determine the prognostic value of a panel of SIR-biomarkers, relative to standard clinicopathological variables, to improve mRCC patient selection for cytoreductive nephrectomy (CN). MATERIAL AND METHODS A panel of preoperative SIR-biomarkers, including the albumin-globulin ratio (AGR), De Ritis ratio (DRR), and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), was assessed in 613 patients treated with CN for mRCC. Patients were randomly divided into training and testing cohorts (65/35%). A machine learning-based variable selection approach (LASSO regression) was used for the fitting of the most informative, yet parsimonious multivariable models with respect to prognosis of cancer-specific survival (CSS). The discriminatory ability of the model was quantified using the C-index. After validation and calibration of the model, a nomogram was created, and decision curve analysis (DCA) was used to evaluate the clinical net benefit. RESULTS SIR-biomarkers were selected by the machine-learning process to be of high discriminatory power during the fitting of the model. Low AGR remained significantly associated with CSS in both training (HR 1.40, 95% CI 1.07-1.82, p = 0.01) and testing (HR 1.78, 95% CI 1.26-2.51, p = 0.01) cohorts. High levels of SII (HR 1.51, 95% CI 1.10-2.08, p = 0.01) and DRR (HR 1.41, 95% CI 1.01-1.96, p = 0.04) were associated with CSS only in the testing cohort. The exclusion of the SIR-biomarkers for the prognosis of CSS did not result in a significant decrease in C-index (- 0.9%) for the training cohort, while the exclusion of SIR-biomarkers led to a reduction in C-index in the testing cohort (- 5.8%). However, SIR-biomarkers only marginally increased the discriminatory ability of the respective model in comparison to the standard model. CONCLUSION Despite the high discriminatory ability during the fitting of the model with machine-learning approach, the panel of readily available blood-based SIR-biomarkers failed to add a clinical benefit beyond the standard model.

Li J, Cao D, Peng L, Meng C, Xia Z, Li Y, Wei Q. Potential Clinical Value of Pretreatment De Ritis Ratio as a Prognostic Biomarker for Renal Cell Carcinoma. Front Oncol 2021; 11:780906. [PMID: 34993141 PMCID: PMC8724044 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2021.780906] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2021] [Accepted: 11/25/2021] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Background We performed this study to explore the prognostic value of the pretreatment aspartate transaminase to alanine transaminase (De Ritis) ratio in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Methods PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library were searched to identify all studies. The hazard ratio (HR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) for overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) were extracted to evaluate their correlation. Results A total of 6,528 patients from 11 studies were included in the pooled analysis. Patients with a higher pretreatment De Ritis ratio had worse OS (HR = 1.41, p < 0.001) and CSS (HR = 1.59, p < 0.001). Subgroup analysis according to ethnicity, disease stage, cutoff value, and sample size revealed that the De Ritis ratio had a significant prognostic value for OS and CSS in all subgroups. Conclusions The present study suggests that an elevated pretreatment De Ritis ratio is significantly correlated with worse survival in patients with RCC. The pretreatment De Ritis ratio may serve as a potential prognostic biomarker in patients with RCC, but further studies are warranted to support these results.

Evaluation of the Predictive Role of Blood-Based Biomarkers in the Context of Suspicious Prostate MRI in Patients Undergoing Prostate Biopsy. J Pers Med 2021; 11:jpm11111231. [PMID: 34834583 PMCID: PMC8625876 DOI: 10.3390/jpm11111231] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2021] [Revised: 11/13/2021] [Accepted: 11/16/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the predictive value of pre-biopsy blood-based markers in patients undergoing a fusion biopsy for suspicious prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We identified 365 consecutive patients who underwent MRI-targeted and systematic prostate biopsy for an MRI scored Prostate Imaging–Reporting and Data System Version (PI-RADS) ≥ 3. We evaluated the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), derived neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (dNLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), systemic immune inflammation index (SII), lymphocyte/monocyte ratio (LMR,) de Ritis ratio, modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS), and prognostic nutrition index (PNI). Uni- and multivariable logistic models were used to analyze the association of the biomarkers with biopsy findings. The clinical benefits of biomarkers implemented in clinical decision-making were assessed using decision curve analysis (DCA). In total, 69% and 58% of patients were diagnosed with any prostate cancer and Gleason Grade (GG) ≥ 2, respectively. On multivariable analysis, only high dNLR (odds ratio (OR) 2.61, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.23–5.56, p = 0.02) and low PNI (OR 0.48, 95% CI 0.26–0.88, p = 0.02) remained independent predictors for GG ≥ 2. The logistic regression models with biomarkers reached AUCs of 0.824–0.849 for GG ≥ 2. The addition of dNLR and PNI did not enhance the net benefit of a standard clinical model. Finally, we created the nomogram that may help guide biopsy avoidance in patients with suspicious MRI. In patients with PI-RADS ≥ 3 lesions undergoing MRI-targeted and systematic biopsy, a high dNLR and low PNI were associated with unfavorable biopsy outcomes. Pre-biopsy blood-based biomarkers did not, however, significantly improve the discriminatory power and failed to add a clinical benefit beyond standard clinical factors.
