Abstract Background: Tumor immunity plays an important role in assessing the tumor progression. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of combined systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) and platelet–lymphocyte ratio (PLR) for treatment of gastroesophageal junction cancer (AEG) and upper gastric cancer (UGC).Methods: In this study, patients from 2003 to 2014 were divided into training and validation sets. The prognostic accuracy of each variable was compared using time-independent ROC analysis. The scoring system was calculated by cut-off values of SIRI and PLR in 5-year. Kaplan-Meier and Log-rank tests were used to analyze overall survival (OS). Chi-square test was used to analyze the association between clinical characteristics and the scoring system. Univariate and multivariate analyses based on the competitive risk regression model were used to analyze independent predictors of death due to AGC and UGC. R software was used to construct the Nomogram model of risk assessment.Results: Patients with SIRI–PLR=2 had worse survival time than those with 0 and 1 (P<0.001) and more suitable for postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy (P=0.002). High PLR patients were more suitable for proximal gastrectomy (P=0.049). SIRI and PLR were independent predictors in training set (P=0.036, P=0.045), which could be combined with age and pTNM to construct Nomogram for predicting OS. Conclusions: Preoperative SIRI–PLR score was an independent predictor for patients with AEG and UGC. The Nomogram model constructed by age, SIRI, PLR and pTNM can correctly predict the prognosis of patients.

Background: The preoperative systemic inflammation response index (SIRI), based on peripheral neutrophil (N), monocyte (M), and lymphocyte (L) counts, has shown mounting evidence as an effective prognostic indicator in some malignant tumors. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prognostic significance of pre-treatment SIRI in gastric cancer patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT).Methods: This retrospective study comprised 107 patients with advanced gastric cancer treated with NACT between July 2007 and September 2015 in our hospital. SIRI was calculated from peripheral venous blood samples obtained prior to treatment. The best cutoff value for SIRI by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was 1.2 (low SIRI &lt;1.21, high SIRI ≥1.21). The clinical outcomes of disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and compared using the log-rank test. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed by the Cox proportional hazards regression model.Results: The results demonstrated that the low SIRI group was statistically associated with gender, primary tumor site, white blood cell, neutrophil, and monocyte counts, NLR (neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio), MLR (monocyte to lymphocyte ratio), and PLR (platelet to lymphocyte ratio). The SIRI was predictive for DFS and OS by univariate and multivariate analysis; the low SIRI group had better median DFS and OS than the high SIRI group (median DFS 27.03 vs. 22.33 months, median OS 29.73 vs. 24.43 months). The DFS and OS in the low SIRI group were longer than the high SIRI group.Conclusions: SIRI may qualify as a useful, reliable, and convenient prognostic indicator in patients with advanced gastric cancer to help physicians to provide personalized prognostication for gastric cancer patients treated with NACT.

Aims. Predicting the prognosis of gastric cancer using tumour-node-metastasis (TNM) staging is difficult as patients with the same TNM stage exhibit different prognoses. Methods. This study investigated the prognostic value of the preoperative fibrinogen/albumin ratio (FAR)-systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) score in resectable gastric cancer (rGC). Results. Clinicopathological features of 231 rGC patients were analysed retrospectively. Patients were divided into three groups: FAR-SIRI score 2 (FAR≥0.071 and SIRI≥0.84), 1 (FAR<0.071 and SIRI≥0.84), and 0 (SIRI<0.84). Higher FAR-SIRI scores were associated with larger tumours, poorer differentiation, and advanced TNM stage (P<0.05). Compared to those with FAR-SIRI scores of 0, patients with scores of 2 had poorer overall survival (OS). The FAR-SIRI score was an independent prognostic factor for OS in rGC. Conclusion. The present data demonstrated that FAR-SIRI scores predicted radical gastric cancer surgical outcomes and may serve as a blood marker for identifying high-risk patients.

IntroductionNasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a common malignancy in China and known prognostic factors are limited. In this study, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), systemic immune inflammation index (SII), and systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) were evaluated as prognostic factors in locally advanced NPC patients.Materials and MethodsNPC patients who received curative radiation or chemoradiation between January 2012 and December 2015 at the Second Xiangya Hospital were retrospectively reviewed, and a total of 516 patients were shortlisted. After propensity score matching (PSM), 417 patients were eventually enrolled. Laboratory and clinical data were collected from the patients’ records. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to determine the optimal cut-off value. Survival curves were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. The Cox proportional hazard model was used to identify prognostic variables.ResultsAfter PSM, all basic characteristics between patients in the high SIRI group and low SIRI group were balanced except for sex (p=0.001) and clinical stage (p=0.036). Univariate analysis showed that NLR (p=0.001), PLR (p=0.008), SII (p=0.001), and SIRI (p&lt;0.001) were prognostic factors for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). However, further multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that only SIRI was an independent predictor of PFS and OS (hazard ratio (HR):2.83; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.561-5.131; p=0.001, HR: 5.19; 95% CI: 2.588-10.406; p&lt;0.001), respectively.ConclusionOur findings indicate that SIRI might be a promising predictive indicator of locally advanced NPC patients.

The systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) has been revealed to be closely related to the prognosis of a variety of tumors. Whether the dynamic change in SIRI before and after surgery can be used to judge the prognosis of patients after radical gastrectomy has not yet been studied. In this study, the predictive ability of preoperative SIRI and changes in SIRI before and after surgery for the survival rate of gastric cancer patients was evaluated in two independent cohorts. It was found that SIRI was closely related to TNM staging. The higher the TNM stage, the higher the proportion of patients with a high SIRI. However, SIRI was not related to any other clinicopathological parameters. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that a high SIRI was associated with poor prognosis in gastric cancer patients in the original cohort and in the validation cohort. SIRI, NLR, PLR, and MLR could be used to judge the prognosis of patients with operable gastric cancer. However, multivariate analysis suggested that only SIRI was an independent prognostic factor for patients with operable gastric cancer. In addition, the change in SIRI at 4 to 6 weeks after surgery compared with SIRI before surgery was closely related to the survival of gastric cancer patients. Compared with the unchanged group (absolute variation &lt;50%), gastric cancer patients with a SIRI increase &gt;50% had a worse OS, while patients with a SIRI decrease &gt;50% had a better prognosis. In conclusion, SIRI can be used as a reliable index to evaluate the prognosis of patients with operable gastric cancer, and the dynamic change in SIRI before and after surgery is significantly related to the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer.
