Preoperative systemic immune-inflammation index and prognostic nutritional index predict prognosis of patients with pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors after surgical resection.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) are a special subtype of lung cancer with treatment methods are limited and prognostic indicators are insufficient. The preoperative systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and prognostic nutritional index (PNI) are effective tumor biomarkers that have important significance for the prognosis of many malignant tumors. However, there is no similar research on the predictive value of SII and PNI for operable PNETs. Our study aimed to clarify the predictive value of SII and PNI in PNETs patients after surgical resection.

Methods

This study retrospectively analysed the relevant clinical data of PNETs patients who received surgical treatment from 2005 to 2015, which was obtained from patient's clinical records, blood test result
