Abstract
PURPOSE
To evaluate the association between preoperative pan-immune inflammation value (PIV) and overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) in patients who underwent radical cystectomy for non-metastatic muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
METHODS
A total of 119 patients with non-metastatic muscle-invasive bladder cancer who underwent radical cystectomy at our institution between January 2014 and January 2022 were included in this retrospective study. PIV was calculated using the formula (monocyte count × neutrophil count × platelet count)/lymphocyte count. Ideal cut-off values for PIV were determined using ROC curve analysis. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to evaluate the impact of PIV on survival outcomes.
RESULTS
The mean age of patients was 65 ± 14 years, and the mean follow-up duration was 36 months. The ideal cutoff value for PIV was determined to be 406.29, and a PIV above this value was associated with poorer OS (p < 0.001) (73 months vs. 21 months) and DFS (p = 0.002) (35 months vs 19 months). Higher neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) values were also associated with poorer OS (p < 0.001) and DFS (p < 0.001), with similar effectiveness to PIV. PIV was found to be significantly more effective than platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and systemic immune inflammation index (SII) in predicting DFS.
CONCLUSION
Preoperative PIV may serve as an independent prognostic factor for OS in patients who undergo radical cystectomy with non-metastatic muscle-invasive bladder cancer. A high PIV value was associated with poorer survival outcomes. Prospective multicenter studies are needed to further validate the relationship between PIV and histopathological features of bladder cancer.
