The Impact

Background and Methods. As a parameter integrating neutrophil (N), lymphocyte (L), and platelet (P) levels, altered systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) has been investigated in a number of malignant tumor types. Here, we explore the impact of SII in a cohort of 249 breast cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), investigating the prognostic value of SII, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR). All patients had complete follow-up data and pathological confirmation of breast cancer by a core needle biopsy prior to NAC treatment and surgery. All blood samples were obtained within one week prior to NAC. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to determine the optimal cut-off value for patient classification by SII, NLR, and PLR. Associations between clinicopathological variables by SII, NLR, and PLR were determined by a chi-squared test or Fisher’s exact test. Overall survival (OS) analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier plots, log-rank tests, and Cox proportional hazards regression models. The Z test is used to compare the prognostic ability of SII, NLR, and PLR. Results. SII, NLR, and PLR did not define patient groups with distinct clinicopathological characteristics. SII, NLR, and PLR cut-off values were 547, 2.13, and 88.23, as determined by ROC analysis; the corresponding areas under the curve (AUCs) were 0.625, 0.555, and 0.571, respectively. Cox regression models identified SII as independently associated with OS. Patients with low SII had prolonged OS (65 vs. 41 months, P = 0.017 , HR: 3.24, 95% CI: 1.23-8.55). In the Z test, the difference in AUC between SII and NLR was statistically significant ( Z = 2.721 , 95% CI: 0.0194-0.119, P = 0.0065 ). Conclusion. Our study suggests that the pretreatment SII value is significantly correlated with OS in breast cancer patients undergoing NAC and that the prognostic utility of SII is superior to that of NLR and PLR.

Background/Aim: To investigate the utility of peripheral blood biomarkers – absolute lymphocyte count (ALC), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) – for predicting outcomes in eribulin-treated patients with metastatic human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer. Patients and Methods: ALC, NLR, and PLR were retrospectively obtained from pre-treatment blood sampling results of 120 patients and stratified according to means. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to investigate the association of clinicopathological factors, including these values, with overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Results: The ALC, NLR, and PLR cut-off points were 1,285/μl, 3.3, and 235, respectively. No biomarkers were associated with PFS. However, univariate analysis showed ALC (p=0.044) and PLR (p=0.044) to be significantly associated with OS. Conclusion: ALC and PLR can predict eribulin efficacy in terms of OS, reflecting the antitumour immune response in the microenvironment and indicating eribulin’s effectiveness.
