Abstract Background Immunoinflammatory and nutritional markers, such as the peripheral blood neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and Onodera’s prognostic nutritional index (OPNI), have gained considerable attention and have been preliminarily revealed as prognostic markers of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). Methods In this study, we first investigated the prognostic value of OPNI in GISTs treated with or without TKIs based on the propensity score matching (PSM) method. All of the patients had received surgical resection for primary GIST, and data from 2010 to 2018 were initially and retrospectively identified from our gastrointestinal center. Recurrence-free survival (RFS) was calculated by the Kaplan–Meier method and compared by the log-rank test. Results The patients were divided into groups treated and not treated with TKIs, and we used the propensity score matching method to homogenize their baseline data. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression models were applied to identify associations with outcome variables. A total of 563 GISTs were initially chosen, and 280 of them were included for analysis under the inclusion criteria. After PSM, there were 200 patients included. Multivariate analyses identified OPNI as an independent prognostic marker that was associated with primary site, tumor size, mitotic index, tumor rupture, necrosis, and modified NIH risk classification. Low OPNI (< 42.6; HR 0.409; P < 0.001) was associated with worse RFS. Conclusions Preoperative OPNI is a novel and useful prognostic marker for GISTs both treated and not treated with TKIs. Higher NLR and PLR have negative effects on RFS.

Introduction: Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was shown to be prognostic in several solid malignancies. There are limited data about predictive/prognostic value of NLR during targeted therapy of patients with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). The aim of this study was to asses a clinical value of this ratio in patients with advanced GIST. Methods: Between 2001 and 2016, 385 patients with metastatic/unresectable GIST treated initially with imatinib were included in the analysis. In all patients, the NLR was assessed at the baseline, after 3 months of treatment, and upon disease progression (or last observation). The cutoff values for NLR were set at 2.7 and 5.4. Kaplan-Meier survival probability estimation with log-rank test and Cox proportional hazards model were used for analysis. Results: Median progression-free survival (PFS) on imatinib treatment was 44.8 months, 5-year rate 43%; median overall survival (OS) 87.2 months, 10-year rate 36.3%. NLR >2.7 at baseline was significantly associated with poorer OS and PFS: median OS was 89.3 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 80.2-115) for NLR ratio ≤2.7 vs 59.4 months (95% CI 48.6-82) for NLR >2.7 ( p < .001); median PFS was 59.4 vs 32.7 ( p < .001), respectively. In multivariate model adjusted for mitotic index and driver mutation in the tumor ( KIT exon 11 mutation versus other), NLR ratio was proven to be statistically significant (hazard ratio 1.09; 95% CI 1.01-1.19; p = .030). Among patients with disease progression, NLR >2.7 assessed at the third month of treatment was linked with significantly shorter median time to progression (7.5 vs 19 months). Conclusions: Our results demonstrate the usefulness of NLR as a prognostic and predictive marker as well as a marker for treatment monitoring in patients with advanced GIST treated with imatinib.

Abstract Background Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) of the stomach are the most common GISTs. The risk, incidence and outcome of cancer are different between the sexes. Whether gender is related to the prognosis of gastric stromal tumors is unclear. Therefore, this study aims to explore the relationship between gender and gastric GIST prognosis. Methods Data from gastric GIST patients were collected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. After propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to reduce confounding factors, the clinicopathological features and prognosis of GIST patients were comprehensively evaluated. Results There were 512 male patients and 538 female patients with gastric GIST. The gender of gastric GIST patients was associated with marital status, surgical treatment, tumor size, and mitotic index (P < 0.05). The Kaplan-Meier analysis and log-rank test revealed that male patients had a higher mortality rate than female patients (P = 0.0024). After matching all the potential confounding factors, the survival of the female gastric GIST patients was better than that of the male gastric GIST patients (P = 0.042). Cox regression analysis revealed that gender was an independent risk factor for overall survival. The risk of death was higher for males than for females (HR: 1.539, 95% CI: 1.066–2.222, P = 0.021). Conclusion Gender could be a prognostic factor for gastric GIST survival, and male patients had a higher risk of death.
