Abstract
Aims: This study aims to assess whether the Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII) can serve as a predictive biomarker for the progression of colonic polyps to colorectal cancer (CRC).
Patients & methods: A total of 351 individuals (236 with colonic polyps and 115 with CRC) who underwent colonoscopy and received a pathological diagnosis at The Six Medical Center of PLA General Hospital were included. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were collected. SII was calculated using neutrophil, monocyte, and lymphocyte counts. Statistical analyses, including univariate and multivariate logistic regression, identified risk factors for CRC development, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to assess the diagnostic performance of SII and CEA.
Results: SII was significantly higher in CRC patients compared to those with colonic polyps (P < 0.001). Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that SII, CEA, and lymphocyte count were independent predictors of CRC. ROC analysis showed that SII had a good diagnostic performance with an AUC of 0.823, sensitivity of 80.9%, and specificity of 72.0%.
Conclusions: SII is a promising, noninvasive biomarker for identifying patients at increased risk of CRC among those with colonic polyps. Further prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings.
