Abstract

Purpose

Cancer-inflammation prognostic index (CIPI) is calculated by multiplying the concentration of carcinoembryonic antigen by neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio. CIPI has been reported as a prognostic factor for colorectal cancer. Although carcinoembryonic antigen and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio have been reported as prognostic factors for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), it has not been investigated whether CIPI is a useful marker.

Methods

We analyzed the prognostic factors, including CIPI, in 700 NSCLC patients treated by pulmonary resection. We also analyzed a subgroup of 482 patients with pathological stage I NSCLC.

Result

CIPI > 14.59 (P < 0.01), maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) > 5.35 (P < 0.01), lymphatic invasion (P = 0.01), and pathological stage (P < 0.01) were significant factors for relapse-free survival (RFS) in multivariate analysis. SUVmax > 5.35 (P < 0.01) and pathological stage (P < 0.01) were revealed as significant factors for overall survival in the multivariate analysis. In the subanalysis, CIPI > 14.88 (P = 0.01) and SUVmax > 5.07 (P < 0.01) were significant factors for RFS of pathological stage I NSCLC in multivariate analysis.

Conclusion

CIPI was a significant factor for RFS in NSCLC patients treated surgically, even in those with pathological stage I disease. SUVmax was also a significant factor for RFS and overall survival in NSCLC patients treated surgically, and for RFS in patients with pathological stage I NSCLC.

Trial Registration

The Institutional Review Board of Kanazawa Medical University approved the protocol of this retrospective study (Approval Number: I392), and written informed consent was obtained from all patients.
