How General and Inflammatory Status Impacts on the Prognosis of Patients Affected by Lung Cancer: State of the Art. Biomedicines 2024; 12:1554. [PMID: 39062127 PMCID: PMC11274951 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines12071554] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2024] [Revised: 06/23/2024] [Accepted: 07/09/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Pulmonary cancer is often associated with systemic inflammation and poor nutritional status and these two aspects are strongly correlated and related to the scarce infiltration of a tumor by immune cells. We reviewed all English literature reviews from 2000 to 2024 from PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar, including original articles, review articles, and metanalyses. We excluded non-English language articles and case reports/case series. Generally speaking, nutritional and inflammatory status largely affect medium and long-term prognosis in lung cancer patients. A correct stratification of patients could improve their preoperative general functional nutritional and inflammatory status, minimizing, therefore, possible treatment complications and improving long-term prognosis.

A Nomogram Model Based on the Inflammation-Immunity-Nutrition Score (IINS) and Classic Clinical Indicators for Predicting Prognosis in Extranodal Natural Killer/T-Cell Lymphoma. J Inflamm Res 2024; 17:2089-2102. [PMID: 38595337 PMCID: PMC11001545 DOI: 10.2147/jir.s452521] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2023] [Accepted: 03/19/2024] [Indexed: 04/11/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Systemic inflammation, immunity, and nutritional status are closely related to patients' outcomes in several kinds of cancers. This study aimed to establish a new nomogram based on inflammation-immunity-nutrition score (IINS) to predict the prognosis of extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) patients. Methods The clinical data of 435 patients with ENTKL were retrospectively reviewed and randomly assigned to training cohort (n=305) and validation cohort (n=131) at a ratio of 7:3. Cox regression analysis was employed to identify independent prognostic factors and develop a nomogram in the training cohort. Harrell's concordance index (C-index), calibration curve, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA) curve were employed to assess the performance of the nomogram and compare it with traditional prognostic systems (PINK, IPI, KPI). Internal validation was performed using 1000 bootstrap resamples in the validation cohort. Kaplan-Meier survival analyses were conducted to compare the overall survival (OS) of patients in different risk groups. Results In the training cohort, in addition to several classic parameters, IINS was identified as an independent prognostic factor significantly associated with the OS of patients. The nomogram established based on the independent prognostic indicators showed superior survival prediction efficacy, with C-index of 0.733 in the training cohort and 0.759 in the validation cohort compared to the PINK (0.636 and 0.737), IPI (0.81 and 0.707), and KPI (0.693 and 0.639) systems. Furthermore, compared with PINK, IPI, and IPI systems, the nomogram showed relatively superior calibration curves and more powerful prognostic discrimination ability in predicting the OS of patients. DCA curves revealed some advantages in terms of clinical applicability of the nomogram compared to the PINK, IPI, and IPI systems. Conclusion Compared with traditional prognostic systems, the nomogram showed promising prospects for risk stratification in ENKTL patient prognosis, providing new insights into the personalized treatment.

Abstract
Background Gallbladder cancer is a rare malignancy characterised by poor survival with lack of durable response to treatment. Thus, novel biomarkers are needed to prognosticate patients. This systematic review and meta-analysis sought to examine the role of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet count (PC) and serum immune inflammation index in predicting the survival of patients with gallbladder cancer. Materials and methods A systematic search was done using PubMed, Cochrane, ClinicalTrials.gov and Google Scholar for articles published from inception until 8 February 2022. Hazard ratios (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were pooled and subgroup analyses were conducted according to treatment, region and cut-offs. The primary outcome of interest was overall survival (OS). Data were summarised using RevMan version 5.4. Results Twenty studies comprising 5,183 patients were included in the analysis. High neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (HR 1.72, 95% CI 1.47-2.02), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (HR 1.51, 95% CI 1.33-1.72), monocyte-lymphocyte ratio (HR 1.96, 95% CI 1.46-1.64), PC (HR 1.20, 95% CI 1.02-1.40) and serum inflammation index (HR 1.73, 95% CI 1.36-2.18) were all associated with worse survival. The association was consistent across most subgroups on race and cut-offs with a trend towards poor survival for PC above 252.5. Conclusion High neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-lymphocyte ratio, monocyte-lymphocyte ratio, PC and SII are associated with worse OS in gallbladder cancer and are potential biomarkers for prognostication. Prospective studies are recommended to further evaluate their use.

Prognostic Value of Inflammatory Indexes in Patients with Resected Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:cancers15061854. [PMID: 36980740 PMCID: PMC10046843 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15061854] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2023] [Revised: 03/16/2023] [Accepted: 03/18/2023] [Indexed: 03/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Background (1): Our goal was to investigate if and how pre-operative inflammatory status can influence the long-term prognosis of patients undergoing lung surgery for cancer. Materials and Methods (2): This prospective observational study includes the agreement of all operable patients to the study, who were referred to our department between 1 January 2017 and 30 December 2018. The inflammatory pre-operative status of the patients was investigated by calculating albumin, CPR (c-protein reactive), complete blood count (neutrophils, lymphocytes, platelets, hemoglobin), and some other indexes referring to inflammatory status, namely the HALP amalgamated index, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), neutrophil-to-lymphocytes ratio (NLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), and advanced lung cancer inflammation Index (ALI). The follow-up ended in November 2021. Patient overall survival was assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method. The log-rank test was used to compare survival rates. Variables significantly associated with survival at univariate analysis were entered int Cox multivariate analysis (stepwise mode) to assess their independent character. Hazard ratios and their 95% confidence intervals were calculated. Variables associated with p < 0.05 were considered significative. Results (3): We enrolled 257 patients in our study. The overall survival of the cohort was as follows: 1 year, 96.1%; 3 year, 81.3%; and 4 year, 74.2%. Univariate analysis showed risk factors for overall survival as follows: Thoracoscore ≥ 2 (p = 0.002); histology (p = 0.002); HALP < 32.2 (p = 0.0002); SII ≥ 808.9 (p = 0.0004); ALI < 34.86 (p = 0.0005); NLr ≥ 2.29 (p = 0.01); hemoglobin < 13 g/dl (p = 0.01); PLR ≥ 196.1 (p = 0.005); pN+ (p < 0.0001); pleural invasion (p = 0.0002); and presence of vascular or lymphatic tumor emboli (p = 0.0002). Multivariate Cox analysis (stepwise model) identified Thoracoscore ≥ 2 (p = 0.02); histology, HALP < 32.2 (p = 0.004), and pN (p < 0.0001) as independent predictors of death. Conclusion (4): Pre-operative inflammatory status strongly influences long-term prognosis in patients affected by NSCLC and undergoing surgery.

Peripheral Blood Cell Ratios as Prognostic Indicators in a Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy-Treated Breast Cancer Cohort. Curr Oncol 2022; 29:7512-7523. [PMID: 36290868 PMCID: PMC9600104 DOI: 10.3390/curroncol29100591] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2022] [Revised: 10/01/2022] [Accepted: 10/04/2022] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Breast cancer represents a heterogeneous condition in which the interaction between host immune response and primary oncogenic events can impact disease progression. Ratios of systemic blood-based immunocytes have emerged as clinically-relevant prognostic biomarkers in cancer patients. The NLR (neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio) has been shown to be prognostic in a variety of cancers, including breast cancer. However, evaluation of the prognostic value for overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) of other key immunocyte ratios-neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), neutrophil-to-white cell count ratio (NWR), lymphocyte-to-white cell count ratio (LWR), monocyte-to-white cell count ratio (MWR), platelet-to-lymphocyte (PLR)-by breast cancer subtypes in a neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) cohort remains to be fully explored. An NAC-treated breast cancer cohort, comprised of Luminal A, Luminal B, HER2-positive, and triple negative/basal breast cancers, treated at a tertiary referral center (minimum 3-year follow-up), was used to calculate immunocyte ratios and immunocyte cut-off values, calculated with >80% specificity (using decision tree modeling). The association with subtype-specific OS, DFS, and tumor grade was analyzed using cut offs calculated using both receiver operating characteristic curves and decision tree modelling. Decision tree calculated ratios showed that LMR (5.29) and MWR (0.06) were significantly associated with Luminal A OS (p = 0.004 and p = 0.022) and DFS (p = 0.004 and p = 0.022), and Luminal B OS (p = 0.027 and p = 0.008) and DFS (p = 0.005 and p = 0.007). NLR (1.79) and LWR (0.30) were significantly associated with HER2-positive OS (p = 0.013 and p = 0.043). NLR (1.79) and NWR (0.62) were significantly associated with DFS (p = 0.035 and p = 0.021). No significant association we observed between any immunocyte ratio in the triple negative cohort. Our results demonstrate the subtype-specific prognostic value of immunocyte ratios in NAC-treated breast cancer patients. Further validation of immunocyte ratios will provide clinicians with a new prognostic aid for disease management and monitoring.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte to monocyte ratio (LMR) and monocyte-to-white blood cell ratio (MWR) can be used as diagnostic and prognostic markers for laryngeal carcinoma (LC). METHODS In this retrospective study, 50 patients with LC treated in the Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery of Beijing Tongren Hospital from August 2014 to August 2015 were enrolled in research group. In addition, 40 healthy volunteers from the same period were selected as control group. The counts of white blood cells, neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes and platelets in the peripheral blood of participants were measured with a blood counting instrument (Sysmex XE-2100, Sysmex Corporation, Japan), and the NLR, PLR, LMR and MWR were calculated. After that, the survival rate of patients was observed through a 5-year follow-up. The prognostic value of the above four indexes and their combination was discussed in patients with different clinical characteristics. RESULTS Compared with the control group, the NLR, PLR and MWR were higher and the LMR was lower in the research group. In terms of survival, patients with higher NLR, PLR and MWR and lower LMR showed a higher 5-year mortality than those with lower NLR, PLR and MWR and higher LMR, indicating that NLR, PLR and MWR were higher and LMR was lower in the survival group than in the death group. Subsequent analysis identified that NLR, PLR, LMR and MWR were closely correlated with age, alcohol drinking, smoking, clinical staging and T-staging. Clinical staging, T-staging, NLR, PLR, LMR, and MWR were confirmed as influencing factors for LC. CONCLUSIONS NLR, PLR, LMR, and MWR can be used as diagnostic and prognostic markers for LC and their combination has a superior diagnostic performance.

The Prognostic Significance of Preoperative Platelet-to-Lymphocyte and Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratios in Patients Operated for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. Cancer Manag Res 2021; 13:7795-7802. [PMID: 34675674 PMCID: PMC8517424 DOI: 10.2147/cmar.s317705] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2021] [Accepted: 09/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction The aim of the study was to determine the prognostic significance of PLR and NLR ratios in patients operated due to non-small cell lung cancer. Material The study group consisted of 532 (174 women, 358 men) patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) staged IA-IIIA. The mean age was 63.6 years (range 36 to 84 years). Together with platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), the following factors were included in the statistical analysis: age, sex, smoking history, the number of leukocytes, neutrophils, and platelets, histopathology, T-stage, N-stage, concomitant diseases according to the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), type of operation, adjuvant chemotherapy, and overall survival. Results Univariate analysis showed an association between the value of PLR and NLR and the length of survival. Multivariate analysis found that the stage of advancement of the neoplastic disease (p=0.00003), adjuvant chemotherapy (p=0.009), CCI > 4 (0.00008), and PLR > 144 (p=0.001) were negative prognostic factors for survival > 2 years; however, this effect diminishes in patients surviving more than 5 years. Conclusion PLR might serve as a prognostic factor in patients affected by NSCLC with expected two-year overall survival.
