Lung immune prognostic index as a prognostic factor in patients with small cell lung cancer
Background The lung immune prognostic index (LIPI) is a marker that combines the derived neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (dNLR) and serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level and is a recently reported prognostic factor of immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy for non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Zusammenfassung: | Background
The lung immune prognostic index (LIPI) is a marker that combines the derived neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (dNLR) and serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level and is a recently reported prognostic factor of immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy for non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, there are no reports regarding the prognostic value of LIPI in small cell lung cancer (SCLC).
Methods
We retrospectively enrolled 171 patients diagnosed with SCLC and treated at Shinshu University School of Medicine between January 2003 and November 2019. Progression‐free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were compared according to LIPI, and we investigated whether LIPI could be a prognostic factor in SCLC using the Kaplan‐Meier method and univariate and multivariate Cox models.
Results
The median OS of the LIPI 0 group was significantly longer than that of the LIPI 1 plus 2 group (21.0 vs. 11.6 months, P |
