Abstract

The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) based on peripheral lymphocyte, neutrophil and platelet counts has been considered a good index that reflects the local immune response and systemic inflammation. However, the use of the SII has not been reported in cervical cancer. In this study, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that a high SII was associated with poor prognosis in cervical cancer patients in the primary and validation cohorts. A higher SII had a significant correlation with larger tumours but had no correlation with other clinicopathological parameters. Among all systemic immune indexes, the SII is the only independent prognostic factor for cervical cancer patients. Compared with the area under the curve for the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and monocyte/lymphocyte ratio (MLR), the area for the SII was larger at 3 and 5 years. In addition, the SII still retains it prognostic values across all FIGO stages. The SII can independently predict the overall survival of patients with cervical cancer receiving radical resection and is thus superior to existing systemic inflammatory indexes. The prognostic nomogram based on the SII is a reliable model for predicting the postoperative survival of patients with cervical cancer.

  • Higher SII levels have been associated with worse prognosis in several medical diseases, particularly in oncology.

    “Higher levels have been associated with worse prognosis in several medical diseases, in particular in the field of oncology.”
  • The systemic immune-inflammation index is an objective marker of the balance between host systemic inflammation and immune response status, combining neutrophil, platelet and lymphocyte counts, each involved in different immune/inflammatory pathways.

    “The SII is an objective marker of the balance between host systemic inflammation and immune response status considering together neutrophil, platelet, and lymphocyte all of them involved in different pathway of immune/inflammatory response (Huang et al., 2019).”
  • SII, which combines neutrophils, platelets, and lymphocytes, is an objective marker of the balance between systemic inflammation and immune response.

    “SII, considering together neutrophil, platelet, and lymphocyte, is an objective marker of the balance between host systemic inflammation and immune response (Huang et al., 2019).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
