Inflammatory Ratios as Predictors for Tumor Invasiveness, Metastasis, Resectability and Early Postoperative Evolution in Gastric Cancer
Our study aimed to evaluate the baseline neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) in relation to invasion, metastasis, and resectability for patients with gastric cancer, respectively, a...

Sumario: | Our study aimed to evaluate the baseline neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) in relation to invasion, metastasis, and resectability for patients with gastric cancer, respectively, as predictors of death during hospitalization or surgical complications. A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 657 gastric cancer subjects. Inflammatory biomarkers were computed. The associations with tumor stage, metastasis, optimal procedure, in-hospital mortality, and surgical complications were evaluated. Subjects who underwent curative-intent surgery presented lower median NLRs (2.9 vs. 3.79), PLRs (166.15 vs. 196.76), and SIIs (783.61 vs. 1122.25), and higher LMRs (3.34 vs. 2.9) than those who underwent palliative surgery. Significantly higher NLRs (3.3 vs. 2.64), PLRs (179.68 vs. 141.83), and SIIs (920.01 vs. 612.93) were observed for those with T3- and T4-stage cancer, in comparison with those with T1- and T2-stage cancer. Values were significantly higher in the case of metastasis for the NLR (3.96 vs. 2.93), PLR (205.22 vs. 167.17), and SII (1179 vs. 788.37) and significantly lower for the LMR (2.74 vs. 3.35). After the intervention, the NLR, PLR, and SII values were higher (p < 0.01) for patients with surgical complications, and the NLR and SII values were higher for those who died during hospitalization. Higher NLRs, PLRs, SIIs, and lower LMRs were associated with a more aggressive tumor; during early follow-up, these were related to post-operative complications and death during hospitalization. |
