Abstract
Aim: Our aim was to investigate the value of basophils in predicting tumor aggressiveness in clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).
Methods: Baseline characteristics of 183 patients were recorded. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to calculate the cut-off value for basophil count in predicting the presence of perirenal and/or renal sinus fat involvement, as well as a high-grade WHO/ISUP score. Regression analyses were performed to determine the independent risk factors for perirenal/renal sinus fat invasion and a high-grade WHO/ISUP score.
Results: The ROC curve analysis showed that the cut-off value of basophil count was 0.045 for the presence of a high-grade WHO/ISUP score (AUC = 0.769) and perirenal and/or renal sinus fat involvement (AUC = 0.731). Tumor size (p = 0.013), high WHO/ISUP grade (p = 0.036), LVI (p = 0.028), perirenal/renal sinus fat involvement (p = 0.043), and advanced (3-4) TNM stage (0.012) were significantly higher in patients with basophil count ≥ 0.045. In multivariate analysis, tumor size (OR = 1.10), LVI (OR = 3.35), and preoperative basophil count ≥ 0.045 (OR = 3.65) were found to be independent predictors for the presence of a high-grade WHO/ISUP score. Similarly, tumor size (OR = 1.21), high WHO/ISUP grade (OR = 2.44), and preoperative basophil count ≥ 0.045 (OR = 1.96) were found to be independent predictors for the presence of perirenal and/or renal sinus fat involvement in multivariate analysis.
Conclusion: Our results demonstrated that preoperative basophil count emerges as a valuable predictor of tumor aggressiveness in ccRCC, offering a readily accessible biomarker to aid in the management of this malignancy.
期刊介绍:
Asia–Pacific Journal of Clinical Oncology is a multidisciplinary journal of oncology that aims to be a forum for facilitating collaboration and exchanging information on what is happening in different countries of the Asia–Pacific region in relation to cancer treatment and care. The Journal is ideally positioned to receive publications that deal with diversity in cancer behavior, management and outcome related to ethnic, cultural, economic and other differences between populations. In addition to original articles, the Journal publishes reviews, editorials, letters to the Editor and short communications. Case reports are generally not considered for publication, only exceptional papers in which Editors find extraordinary oncological value may be considered for review. The Journal encourages clinical studies, particularly prospectively designed clinical trials.
