Abstract Background: A novel systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), based on the neutrophils, lymphocytes and platelet counts, is associated with the prognosis of several cancers. The present study evaluates the prognostic significance of SII in non-metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC).Method: The present study retrospectively reviewed the medical record of patients with non-metastatic RCC who underwent nephrectomy between 2010 and 2013. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to identify the optimal cut-off value. In addition, the propensity score matching (PSM) was performed with a matching ratio of 1:1. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were used to identify the prognostic factors. The results were reported by hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (95% CI). Results: A total of 646 patients were included in the final analysis. High SII group (>529) was significantly associated with older age (P=0.014), larger tumor (P<0.001), higher pathological T stage (P<0.001), higher tumor grade (P<0.001) and more tumor necrosis (P<0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis demonstrated that the higher preoperative SII was significantly associated with worse overall survival (OS) (HR=2.26; 95%CI 1.44-3.54; P<0.001) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) (HR=2.17; 95%CI 1.33-3.55; P=0.002). After PSM, elevated preoperative SII was an independent predictor of poor OS (HR=1.78; 95%CI 1.1-2.87; P=0.018) and CSS (HR=1.8; 95%CI 1.07-3.03; P=0.027).Conclusion: In conclusion, preoperative SII is associated with adverse factors for RCC. Furthermore, higher preoperative SII is an independent predictor of poor OS and CSS in surgically treated patients with non-metastatic RCC. More prospective and large scale studies are warranted to validate our findings.

Introduction: International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Database Consortium (IMDC) criteria are the most representative risk model for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). However, the intermediate-risk group of IMDC criteria is thought to include patients with different prognoses because the majority of the patients are classified into the intermediate-risk group. In this study, we investigated the impact of systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), which is calculated based on neutrophil count, platelet count, and lymphocyte count, on predicting the prognosis in patients with mRCC and its usefulness for re-classification of patients with a more sophisticated risk model. Methods: From January 2008 to January 2018, 179 mRCC patients with a pretreatment and SII were retrospectively investigated. All patients were classified into either a high-SII group or a low-SII group based on the cutoff value of a SII at 730, as reported in previous studies; the overall survival (OS) rates in each group were compared. Results: The median age was 65 years old. Males and females comprised 145 and 34 cases, respectively. The categories of favorable-, intermediate-, and poor-risk groups in the IMDC model were assessed in 39, 102, and 38 cases, respectively. The median of the observation period was 24 months. The low-SII and high-SII groups consisted of 73 and 106 cases, respectively. The 50% OS in the high-SII group was 21.4 months, which was significantly worse than that in the low-SII group (49.7 months; p<0.0001). Multivariate analysis showed that a high SII was an independent predictive factor for a worse OS. Next, we constructed a modified IMDC risk model that included the SII instead of a neutrophil count and a platelet count. By using this modified IMDC model, all cases were re-classified into four groups of 33, 52, 81, and 13 cases with 50% OS of 88.8, 45.9, 29.4, and 4.8 months, respectively. Conclusions: The systemic immune-inflammation index is useful for establishing a more sophisticated prognostic model that can stratify mRCC patients into four groups with different prognoses.

The aim of this study was to assess the utility of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), plate-let-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and systemic immune inflammation index (SII) as predictive biomarkers with oncological outcomes for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) patients treated with nivolumab and ipilimumab (NIVO + IPI). We conducted a retrospective multicenter cohort study assessing patients with mRCC treated with NIVO + IPI at eight institutions in Japan. In this study, the follow-up period was median 14 months. The 1-year overall- and progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 89.1% and 63.1, respectively. The objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) were 41.9% and 81.4%, respectively. The 1-year PFS rates were 85.7% and 49.1% for NLR ≤ 2.8 and >2.8, respectively (p = 0.005), and 75.5% and 49.7% for PLR ≤ 215.6 and >215.6, respectively (p = 0.034). Regarding SII, the 1-year PFS rates were 90.0% and 54.8% when SII was ≤561.7 and >561.7, respectively (p = 0.023). Therefore, NLR, PLR, and SII levels in mRCC patients treated with NIVO + IPI may be useful in predicting oncological outcomes.
