Peripheral Inflammation Featuring Eosinophilia or Neutrophilia Is Associated with the Survival and Infiltration of Eosinophils within the Tumor among Various Histological Subgroups of Patients with NSCLC.

ABSTRACT: Immune activation status determines non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) prognosis, with reported positive/negative associations for T helper type 2 (TH2) responses, including allergen-specific IgE and eosinophils. Our study seeks to explore the potential impact of these comorbid immune responses on the survival rates of patients with NSCLC. Our retrospective study used data from the Data Warehouse of the German Center for Lung Research (DZL) and Lung Biobank at Thoraxklinik Heidelberg. We estimated the association of blood eosinophilia and neutrophilia on survival rates in an inflammatory cohort of 3143 patients with NSCLC. We also tested sensitization to food and inhalants and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in a comorbidity cohort of 212 patients with NSCLC. Finally, we estim
