摘要:
目的 探讨全身免疫炎症指数(SII)与晚期胃癌患者一线化疗疗效及预后的相关性。 方法 回顾性收集2017年2月—2021年6月于蚌埠医学院第一附属医院肿瘤内科接受一线化疗的90例HER2阴性晚期胃癌患者的病理资料,根据基线血常规化验结果计算SII值。分别采用受试者工作特征曲线和X-tile软件选取SII治疗疗效和预后的最佳临界值,根据临界值将晚期胃癌患者分为高、低SII组,分析HER2阴性晚期胃癌患者基线SII与其临床病理特征、一线化疗疗效、无进展生存期(PFS)和总生存期(OS)的关系。 结果 共纳入90例HER2阴性晚期胃癌患者,高、低SII组患者的客观缓解率分别为3.45%(1/29)和19.67%(12/61),疾病控制率分别为41.38%(12/29)和77.05%(47/61)。基线SII越低,患者化疗疗效越好(χ2=11.075,P=0.001)。低SII组患者的PFS显著长于高SII组(4.57个月 vs. 2.13个月,P<0.001),低SII组患者的OS亦显著长于高SII组(9.83个月 vs. 3.97个月,P<0.001)。单因素和多因素Cox分析结果显示,基线SII水平是HER2阴性晚期胃癌患者一线治疗PFS和OS的独立影响因素。 结论 基线SII水平有预测HER2阴性晚期胃癌患者一线化疗疗效和生存结局的潜在价值,高SII与疗效差和不良预后有关。 Abstract:Objective To explore the value of the systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII) in predicting the efficacy of first-line chemotherapy and survival in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) negative advanced gastric cancer. Methods The clinical data of advanced gastric cancer patients who received standard first-line chemotherapy at the Department of Medical Oncology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College from February 2017 to June 2021 were retrospectively collected. The SII values were calculated based on the results of the baseline routine blood test. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and X-tile software were used to determine the optimal cut off value of SII for therapeutic effect and prognosis, and patients was classified into high and low SII groups. The relationship between SII and clinicopathological characteristics, efficacy of first-line chemotherapy, progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of patients with advanced gastric cancer was analyzed. Results A total of 90 patients with advanced gastric cancer were enrolled. The objective response rates of patients in the high and low SII groups were 3.45% (1/29) and 19.67% (12/61), and the disease control rates were 41.38% (12/29) and 77.05% (47/61), respectively; patients with lower baseline SII had better chemotherapy efficacy (χ2=11.075, P=0.001). The mPFS of patients in the low SII group was significantly longer than that of patients in the high SII group (4.57 months vs. 2.13 months, P<0.001), and patients with low SII achieved a longer OS than patients with high SII (9.83 months vs. 3.97 months, P<0.001). The results of univariate and multivariate Cox analysis showed that the level of baseline SII was an independent prognostic factor affecting PFS and OS of first-line therapy in patients with advanced gastric cancer. Conclusion The baseline level of SII has potential value in predicting the efficacy and prognosis of first-line chemotherapy in patients with advanced gastric cancer, and patients with high SII tend to have poor efficacy and prognosis. -
