Abstract
PURPOSE The main aim of this study was to identify a possible association between month of birth of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients and overall survival (OS) or disease-free survival (DFS). METHODS This observational study included all consecutive adult patients diagnosed with CRC undergoing oncological surgery from January 2005 to December 2019 with a minimum follow-up of 10 years. The outcome variables were locoregional recurrence, death due to cancer progression, OS and DFS. Non-supervised learning techniques (K-means) were conducted to identify groups of months with similar oncologic outcomes. Finally, OS and DFS were analysed using Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression tests. The model was calibrated with resampling techniques and subsequently a cross-validation was performed. RESULTS A total of 2520 patients were included. Three birth month groups with different oncologic outcomes were obtained. Survival analysis showed between-group differences in OS (p < 0.001) and DFS (p = 0.03). The multivariable Cox proportional hazards model identified the clusters obtained as independent prognostic factors for OS (p < 0.001) and DFS (p = 0.031). CONCLUSION There is an association between month of birth and oncologic outcomes of CRC. Patients born in the months of January, February, June, July, October and December had better OS and DFS than those born in different months of the year.

Abstract
Background Simple approaches for detecting the tumor stage of colon cancer patients are required during the preoperative period. In recent years, the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) have been employed as predictive parameters for systemic inflammatory response and long-term prognosis in a variety of malignancies. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the NLR and PLR correspond with tumor characteristics in colon cancer patients. Materials and methods About 90 patients with colon cancer who reported to our institute during the time interval July 2021 to December 2022 were included in the study. The NLR and PLR were calculated using data obtained from a complete blood count evaluation. The relationship between inflammatory cell ratio and tumor-specific characteristics were analyzed. Results Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and PLR correlated with pTNM staging in 88 patients. Two patients exhibited diffuse peritoneal metastasis. A significant association was found between PLR and early (Tis + T1 + T2) and advanced (T3 + T4) groups. Although the difference was not statistically significant, patients with lymphovascular invasion (LVI) and perineural invasion (PNI) had greater mean NLR and PLR. Conclusion Platelet-lymphocyte ratio was found to be more accurate than NLR in predicting colon cancer tumor depth/invasion. A high PLR value aids in prognosticating advanced T-stage colon cancer patients and can be used as a valuable tool for preoperative counseling, but it must be validated with a survival analysis. Clinical practice points The tumor microenvironment contains a variety of inflammatory cells that contribute to the growth and spread of the neoplasm. The NLR and PLR have been shown to be clinically and prognostically important in a variety of gastrointestinal cancers. The results of this study demonstrate that PLR was more accurate than NLR in predicting colon cancer tumor depth/invasion. Also, a high PLR value aids in prognosticating advanced T-stage colon cancer patients and may be used as a valuable tool for preoperative counseling.

Abstract
Background The focus of this study was to analyze the prognostic value of different combinations of inflammatory and coagulation factors using preoperative blood and to appraise the clinical importance of these biomarkers in colorectal cancer patients. Methods A prospective, multicenter study included patients undergoing radical colorectal surgery in three county hospitals. Inflammatory and coagulation markers were analyzed preoperatively. Results Two hundred and one patients were included. We examined patients based on their tumor localization. Colon cancer group involved patients with the tumor localized in the colon (n = 105, 52.24%) and rectal cancer group the patients with the tumor in the rectum (n = 96, 47.76%). Examining coagulation factors, univariate Cox analysis of colon cancer patients showed that activated partial thromboplastin time (p = 0.020) was significantly associated with overall survival, but we could not prove it in multivariate analysis. In colon cancer patients, neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (NLR, p < 0.001) was positively correlated with tumor size and had significant association (χ2 = 5.48, p = 0.019, df = 1) with perineural invasion. Univariate and multivariate Cox analysis of colon cancer patients showed that NLR (p = 0.011 and p = 0.048) was significantly associated with disease‐free survival (DFS). Conclusion NLR was proved to be an independent prognostic factor for DFS in patients with non‐metastatic colon cancer. NLR might help to recognize the high‐risk patients between patients with the same tumor‐node‐metastasis stage and could help with the decision on adjuvant chemotherapy. Since the biomarkers in preoperative blood tests are habitually evaluated, NLR could be an inexpensive prognostic marker that can be easily assessed in clinical practice.

Abstract
Purpose Previous studies have shown that various preoperative inflammatory indicators can predict the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but the role of postoperative inflammatory indicators remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the prognostic value of postoperative inflammatory indicators and whether combining preoperative and postoperative inflammatory indicators can improve the predictive performance of the prognostic model. Patients and Methods Eighty-eight patients with primary HCC were included in this study. A preoperative model, postoperative model, and combined model that integrated preoperative and postoperative inflammatory indicators were established. The prognostic value of the models was evaluated by the area under the curve of time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curves (td-AUC). Results Multivariate analysis of preoperative and postoperative inflammatory indicators and clinicopathological indicators found that tumor number, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) level, and the preoperative platelet-lymphocyte ratio (prePLR), preoperative prognostic nutritional index (prePNI), and postoperative neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (postNLR) were independent prognostic factors for the disease-free survival. The prognostic efficacy of the postNLR at 2 years and 3 years was better than that of tumor number, AFP level, and the prePLR, and prePNI. The combined model had higher td-AUC values than the preoperative model, postoperative model, American Joint Committee on Cancer 8th edition stage, and Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer stage at 2 years (0.814 vs 0.754, 0.765, 0.513 and 0.527, respectively), and 3 years (0.786 vs 0.749, 0.753, 0.509 and 0.529, respectively). The predictive performance of the combined model was better than that of the preoperative model, postoperative model, and traditional clinical stage. Conclusion Postoperative inflammatory indicators were valuable prognostic indicators. The combination of preoperative and postoperative inflammatory indicators improved the predictive performance of the prognostic model. We should pay more attention to postoperative inflammatory indicators.

Abstract
PURPOSE Numerous studies have demonstrated that a variety of systemic inflammatory markers were associated with the survival of different tumors. However, the association between elevated postoperative neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (postNLR) and long-term outcomes, including overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), in patients with solid tumors remains controversial. A systematic review was conducted to explore the association between the postNLR and long-term outcomes in solid tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS Relevant literature was identified using PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library from the initiation of the databases to October 2020. Data were extracted from included studies reporting hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI), and were pooled using generic inverse-variance and random-effects modeling. 25 studies reporting on7539 patients were included in the analysis. RESULTS Elevated postNLR was associated with poor OS (HR 1.87, 95% CI = 1.53-2.28; P < 0.00001), and worse DFS (HR 1.69, 95% CI = 1.28-2.22; P = 0.0002). Subgroup analyses showed that the trend of the pooled HR for most of the subgroups was not changed, and the heterogeneity of the same tumor type was not obvious. However, there was no correlation between high postNLR obtained within 7days and poor DFS (n = 3, HR 1.25, 95CI% = 0.54-2.88; P = 0.60). CONCLUSIONS Elevated postNLR might be a readily available and inexpensive biomarker for long-term outcomes in solid tumors. Multicenter and prospective studies are needed to explore the impact of the postNLR on the prognosis of solid tumors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the potential prognostic value of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in testicular cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS 80 patients with testicular cancer treated at our institution from 2005 to 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Age, tumor markers, stage and histotype at final pathology, eventual medical treatment, tumor recurrence and follow-up data were extracted. The NLR was retrospectively calculated from blood tests. Data were analyzed by medians comparison, linear correlation, univariate and multivariate Cox regression and survival curve analysis. RESULTS Population's median age was 33 years and median follow-up was 40.5 months. Overall, the median NLR was significantly reduced after orchiectomy (2.2 [1.55-3.09] vs. 1.77 [1.34-2.46], M-W P<0.001). Post-orchiectomy NLR was higher in patients who had disease recurrence (2.51;IQ 1.84-3.74 vs 1.59; IQ 1.10-2.24; M-W P=0.001), regardless of disease's stage: HR=1,85 (95%CI 0,99-3,46) and HR=1,91 (95%CI 0,96-3,78) for stage disease I or stage II, respectively. After stratification of patients by post-orchiectomy NLR (optimal cut-off: 2.255), patients with lower NLR had significantly longer recurrence-free survival (107.7 months [95%CI 97,7-119,2] vs. 57.65 months [95%CI 48,2-81,1], P<0.001). Univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazard analyses, showed post-orchiectomy NLR, histotype at final pathology and disseminated disease at diagnosis as predictors of recurrence. CONCLUSION NLR is a simple and wildly available biomarker. Higher post-orchiectomy NLR was found independently correlated to higher risk of recurrence, regardless of disease stage, which could potentially lead to a worse prognosis.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the prognostic value of modified Glasgow prognostic score (mGPS) asssessed prior to anticancer treatment in patients with esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC).Methods: A comprehensive search through PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science and The Cochrane Library databases was performed to identify potential studies exploring the prognostic value of baseline mGPS in patients with ESCC. We combined the hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to assess the association of mGPS with overall survival (OS).Results: A total of 10 studies including 3415 patients were analyzed and all patients were from Japan or China. A significant correlation between elevated mGPS and poor OS (HR = 1.66, 95% CI: 1.14-2.41, P = 0.008) was observed. Subgroup analyses suggested that the country and therapy method may affect the effect of mGPS on predicting OS in ESCC and patients with mGPS 1 or two had poorer OS compared with those with mGPS 0 (HR = 2.91, 95% CI: 1.74-4.87, P<0.001; HR = 2.39, 95% CI: 1.44-3.97, P = 0.001).Conclusions: Baseline mGPS might serve as a promising indicator for the OS in Chinese and Japanese patients with ESCC. More well-designed prospective studies with large samples are needed to verify our findings.

Abstract
Giant cell tumor (GCT) of bone is a common primary bone tumor, which exhibits local aggressiveness and recurrent potential, especially for the spinal lesion. Increasing evidence indicates that inflammation plays a vital role in tumorigenesis and progression. The prognostic value of inflammatory biomarkers in GCT has not been established. A retrospective analysis was conducted in patients with spinal GCT in Changzheng Hospital Orthopedic Oncological Center (CHOOC) between January 2005 and October 2015 and 129 patients were identified eligible. Traditional clinical parameters and inflammatory indexes such as Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), and albumin/globulin ratio (AGR) were concluded and analyzed. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to calculate the disease-free survival (DFS). Cox regression analysis was performed to assess the prognostic factors. Nomograms were established to predict DFS quantitatively for the first time, and Harrell’s concordance index (c-index) was adopted to evaluate prediction accuracy. As results, the DFS was 78.3% in the cohort. Patients were stratified into 2 groups by NLR (≤ 2.70 and > 2.70), PLR (≤ 215.80 and > 215.80), LMR (≤ 2.80 and >2.80) and AGR (< 1.50 and ≥ 1.50). Patients with NLR > 2.70, PLR > 215.80, LMR ≤ 2.80 and AGR < 1.50 were significantly associated with decreased DFS (p < 0.05). Multivariate analysis indicated that treatment history, tumor length, bisphosphonate treatment, NLR and PLR were independent factors of DFS (p < 0.05, respectively). In addition, nomogram on DFS was established according to all significant factors, and c-index was 0.728 (95% CI: 0.710-0.743). Nomograms based on DFS can be recommended as practical models to evaluate prognosis for spinal GCT patients.
