Immune Inflammation

BackgroundThe systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) is a hematological parameter based on neutrophil, platelet, and lymphocyte counts. Studies that have investigated the prognostic value of SII in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) have reported controversial results. In this study, we systematically investigated the prognostic value of SII in patients with RCC.MethodsWe systematically searched English articles in the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases up to October 2021. Hazard ratios (HRs) and odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to obtain pooled results.ResultsThe meta-analysis included 10 studies that enrolled 3,180 patients. A high SII was associated with poor overall survival (HR 1.75, 95% CI 1.33–2.30, p<0.001) in patients with RCC. However, a high SII was not shown to be a significant prognostic factor for progression-free survival/disease-free survival (HR 1.22, 95% CI 0.84–1.76, p=0.293) or poor cancer-specific survival (HR 1.46, 95% CI 0.68–3.12, p=0.332) in patients with RCC. A high SII was correlated with male sex (OR 1.51, 95% CI 1.11–2.04, p=0.008), Fuhrman grade G3–G4 (OR 1.80, 95% CI 1.08–3.00, p=0.024), and poor risk based on the International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Database Consortium criteria (OR 19.12, 95% CI 9.13–40.06, p<0.001).ConclusionA high SII was independently associated with poor survival outcomes in patients with RCC. Additionally, an elevated SII indicated more aggressive disease. The SII may serve as a useful cost-effective prognostic indicator in patients with RCC.

Abstract Background Previous studies have evaluated the associations of aspartate transaminase to alanine transaminase (De Ritis) ratio with clinical outcome of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), but the findings are inconsistent. We therefore performed this meta-analysis to explore the prognostic value of the pre-treatment De Ritis ratio in patients with RCC.Methods PubMed, EMBASE, Science and Cochrane Library were searched systematically to identify all eligible studies as of February 2020. The hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were extracted to evaluate their correlation.Results A total of 5,025 patients from 8 studies were included in the meta-analysis. Patients with an increased pre-treatment De Ritis ratio had worse overall survival (HR = 1.52, 95% CI 1.27 to 1.82, P < 0.001), cancer-specific survival (HR = 1.81, 95% CI 1.47 to 2.23, P < 0.001), progression-free survival (HR = 1.24, 95% CI 1.05 to 1.47, P = 0.011), and metastasis-free survival (HR = 1.61, 95% CI 1.25 to 2.07, P < 0.001). Subgroup analysis according to disease stage and cut-of value revealed that De Ritis ratio had a significant prognostic value for OS and PFS in all subgroups.Conclusion The available evidence suggests that an increased De Ritis ratio was significantly correlated with worse survival in patients with RCC. Pre-treatment De Ritis ratio may serve as a potential prognostic biomarker in patients with RCC, but further studies are warranted to support these results.

Nutritional Index

BackgroundThe pretreatment prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is correlated with poor prognosis in several malignancies. However, the prognostic role of PNI in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) remains unclear. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to investigate the prognostic significance of PNI in patients with RCC.MethodsWe searched the PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases up to February 2021. Pooled hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to estimate correlation between PNI and survival endpoints in RCC.ResultsTen studies with 4,908 patients were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled results indicated that a low PNI associated with poor overall survival (HR = 2.10, 95% CI = 1.67–2.64, p&lt;0.001), shorter progression-free survival, disease-free survival, recurrence-free survival (HR = 1.99, 95% CI = 1.67–2.36, p&lt;0.001), and poor cancer-specific survival (HR = 2.95, 95% CI = 1.61–5.39, p&lt;0.001). Additionally, the prognostic ability of PNI was not affected by subgroup analysis factors.ConclusionThe meta-analysis indicated that low PNI associated with shorter survival outcomes in patients with RCC. Therefore, PNI could be used as an effective prognostic indicator in RCC.

Background. Recent studies have shown that CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) is involved in the progression and metastasis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). However, the prognostic value of CXCR4 expression in RCC remains controversial. The aim of our meta-analysis is to evaluate the prognostic value of high CXCR4 expression in RCC.Methods. Relevant studies focused on the relationship between high CXCR4 expression and the outcome of RCC were searched in PubMed and EMBASE/Cochrane Library database. Hazard ratios (HRs) of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were our evaluation index. The individual and pooled HRs with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were analyzed.Results. A total of 1068 patients from 7 studies were included in our meta-analysis. The results suggested that high CXCR4 expression predicted a poor OS (random effect model (REM) HR = 2.77, 95% CI = 1.80−4.27) and PFS (REM HR = 4.83, 95% CI = 2.30−10.15) for RCC patients.Conclusion. The results of meta-analysis indicated that high CXCR4 expression was correlated with worse OS and PFS for patients with RCC. However, some larger samples and well-matched studies should be designed to estimate the potential prognosis of RCC patients.

BackgroundWe performed this study to explore the prognostic value of the pretreatment aspartate transaminase to alanine transaminase (De Ritis) ratio in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC).MethodsPubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library were searched to identify all studies. The hazard ratio (HR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) for overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) were extracted to evaluate their correlation.ResultsA total of 6,528 patients from 11 studies were included in the pooled analysis. Patients with a higher pretreatment De Ritis ratio had worse OS (HR = 1.41, p &lt; 0.001) and CSS (HR = 1.59, p &lt; 0.001). Subgroup analysis according to ethnicity, disease stage, cutoff value, and sample size revealed that the De Ritis ratio had a significant prognostic value for OS and CSS in all subgroups.ConclusionsThe present study suggests that an elevated pretreatment De Ritis ratio is significantly correlated with worse survival in patients with RCC. The pretreatment De Ritis ratio may serve as a potential prognostic biomarker in patients with RCC, but further studies are warranted to support these results.

589 Background: Recently, the De-Ritis ratio, defined as the ratio of preoperative aspartate aminotransferase (AST) to alanine aminotransferase (ALT), was shown to be an independent predictor of overall and recurrence-free survival in a European cohort with localized renal cell carcinoma (RCC). In this study, we perform an external validation of the De-Ritis ratio as a prognostic indicator in a distinct cohort of patients with localized and metastatic RCC. Methods: Patients that underwent nephrectomy for localized and metastatic RCC between 2001 and 2014 with available laboratory values within one week of surgery were queried from the Emory Nephrectomy Database. De-Ritis ratio of 1.2 was used to divide subjects into high and low subgroups. Using clinical follow-up data, prognostic value of the De-Ritis ratio was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional regression models. Results: In a cohort of 451 patients, an elevated De-Ritis ratio (AST/ALT ≥ 1.2) was associated with significantly decreased overall survival (log-rank, p=0.0023) and recurrence-free survival (Log-rank, p=0.0395). On multivariate analysis, De-Ritis ratio was shown to be an independent and significant predictor of overall survival (HR=0.52, p=0.002) and recurrence-free survival (HR=0.47, p=0.014) as seen in Table. Conclusions: Elevated De-Ritis ratio (AST/ALT ≥ 1.2) is an independent and significant predictor of overall and recurrence-free survival and is capable of differentiating high-risk disease in patients with localized and metastatic RCC. These findings are consistent with a previous study investigating the prognostic value of the De-Ritis ratio in a European cohort, and further validates its prognostic ability in a geographically distinct cohort including patients who presented with metastatic disease [Table: see text]

Abstract Background: Hypothyroidism as a predictive factor represent highly controversial in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) with tyrosine kinase inhibitors-induced (TKI-induced) hypothyroidism. we aimed to evaluate the predictive value of TKI-induced hypothyroidism for progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with mRCC.Methods: PubMed, Web of Science and Cochrane Library databases were searched with the keywords of "renal cell carcinoma", "hypothyroidism", "tyrosine kinase inhibitor", "sunitinib", "axitinib", "sorafenib" and "pazopanib" until September 2019. The hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of extracted from progression-free survival (PFS) were statistically analyzed by STATA15.1 software. Heterogeneity was assessed by I²value. Publication bias was appraised by the funnel chart, Egger's and Begg's tests.Results: Eighteen studies with more than 1300 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The result demonstrated that TKI-induced hypothyroidism was an effective predictor of longer PFS (HR=0.57,95%CI:0.49-0.66, P＜0.001, I²=34.4%) in patients with mRCC. No significant publication bias was detected.Conclusions: Our analysis harvested from currently available clinical evidence shows that TKI-induced hypothyroidism expressed longer PFS, compared with euthyroidism, among patients with mRCC treated with "sunitinib", "axitinib", "sorafenib" and "pazopanib".
