ABSTRACT
The prognostic value of the lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio during induction (ILMR) remains unclear in non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients receiving Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG). We aimed to determine and compare the prognostic value of the ILMR, preoperative lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (PLMR) and their dynamic changes (PILMR). This study collected the data from NMIBC patients receiving BCG treatment in our institution. The prognostic value of the PLMR, ILMR and PILMR was analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazard regression models. The concordance index and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis were employed to compare the prognostic value of these three factors. Our study enrolled 197 patients. These patients included 170 male patients, and the mean age was 64.17 years. During the follow-up time, 85 patients experienced recurrence, and 55 patients experienced progression. According to the results of COX multivariable analysis, PLMR (P=0.011) and ILMR (P<0.001) could independently predict the recurrence of NMIBC patients receiving BCG. Meanwhile, ILMR (P=0.001) and PILMR (P=0.036) were also the independent prognostic factors of progression. Compared with PLMR and PILMR, ILMR was associated with better accuracy for NMIBC patients receiving BCG. This study first found that the ILMR could independently predict the prognosis of NMIBC patients receiving BCG. Furthermore, we also identified that ILMR was associated with higher prognostic value than PLMR and PILMR, which might help to select an optimal treatment schedule for patients with NMIBC.
