Background. The prognostic significance of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in nonmetastatic renal cell carcinoma (non-mRCC) is controversial, although NLR has been established as a prognostic factor in several cancers. The objective of our study was to assess the prognostic significance of preoperative NLR in non-mRCC, based on a large, multicenter cohort analysis. Methods. Totally, 1,284 non-mRCC patients undergoing surgery were enrolled from six institutions between 2000 and 2014. Recurrence-free survival (RFS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) were calculated, and the prognostic significance of NLR was evaluated. Results. Patients with higher NLR had larger tumors (p<0.001), higher T stage (p<0.001), worse Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (p<0.001), worse symptoms (p=0.003), sarcomatoid differentiation (p=0.004), and tumor necrosis (p<0.001). The 5-year RFS and CSS rates were significantly lower in patients with high NLR than in those with low NLR (each p<0.001). Multivariate analysis identified NLR to be an independent predictor of RFS and CSS (each p<0.05). Moreover, predictive accuracy of multivariate models for RFS and CSS increased by 2.2% and 4.2%, respectively, with NLR inclusion. Conclusions. Higher NLR was associated with worse clinical behavior of non-mRCC. Also, NLR was a significant prognostic factor of both RFS and CSS.

Objective. The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic significance of the preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in small renal cell carcinoma (sRCC, ≤4 cm). Methods. This study was approved by the review board (NO.XYFY2019-KL032-01). Between 2007 and 2016, a total of 384 consecutive patients who underwent curative surgery for sRCC at our institution were evaluated. Patients were divided into high NLR and low NLR groups by plotting the NLR receiver operating characteristic curve. The Kaplan–Meier method was utilized to graphically display survivor functions. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis addressed time to overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS). Results. Of the 384 patients, 264 (68.8%) were males and 120 (31.2%) were females. Median follow-up time after surgical resection was 54 months. One hundred and eighty-seven (48.7%) patients had a high NLR (≥1.97), and the remaining 197 (51.3%) had a low NLR (<1.97). Patients with high NLR were more likely to be aged compared with patients with low NLR (P=0.028). High NLR was associated with decreased OS and CSS compared with low NLR (P=0.002, P=0.065, respectively, the log-rank test). Multivariate Cox model analysis showed that the high NLR was an independent prognostic factor for OS (hazard ratio: 3.145, 95% confidence interval: 1.158–8.545, P=0.025). Conclusions. Elevated preoperative NLR is an independent adverse prognostic factor for OS after surgery with curative intent for sRCC.

Introduction: Renal cell carcinoma is the most common malignancy of the kidney, which accounts 85% of all renal tumors. In recent years, the incidence of renal cell carcinoma was increased due to the widespread use of imaging techniques. The aim of this study is to investigate the clinical significance of pretreatment neutrophil to lymphocyte and platelet to lymphocyte ratios in patients with renal cell carcinomas. Methods: The patients who underwent nephrectomy for renal tumor between 2010 and 2018 in two centers were reviewed retrospectively. The age, sex, complete blood test, and pathological results were recorded. The patients who were diagnosed with other carcinomas, benign renal tumors, and missing data of age, complete blood test, and pathological results, were excluded. The patients were divided into two groups according to the T stage and Fuhrman grade, T1-2 and T3-4, G1-2 and G3-4. Results: There were 271 patients in the current study. The male to female ratio was 1.97 and the mean age of the patients was 59.37±11.62 years. Clear cell renal cell carcinoma was the most common subtype in 72.7% of the patients. Both the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and the platelet to lymphocyte ratio were significantly higher in patients with high-grade and advanced-stage disease than in the others. The receiver operating characteristic curve showed no significant difference between platelet to lymphocyte ratio and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio to diagnose the high grade and stage of renal cell carcinoma. Conclusion: The neutrophil to lymphocyte and platelet to lymphocyte ratios are easily accessible biomarkers which are used for the prognosis of malignancy. The current study found that these biomarkers may predict the pathological results during the preoperative period.
