Lymphocyte-to-Monocyte Ratio (LMR) During Induction Is a Better Predictor Than Preoperative LMR in Patients Receiving Intravesical Bacillus Calmette -Guerin for Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer

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… Show more

“…Almost 30% of NMIBC patients would experience recurrence even after accepting BCG. 15,44 Therefore, researchers strived efforts to find powerful biomarkers and various new therapies to improve the prognosis of patients with NMIBC. 45,46 Urological surgeons have widely deliberated on the potential of ERBT to enhance RFS in patients with NMIBC.…”

“…For instance, radical surgery (RC) is the standard treatment for MIBC. However, this therapy would bring heavy economic, physical, and mental burdens to patients 8 , 9 . Although experiencing a traumatic therapy, MIBC patients will recur rapidly following RC 9 , 10 .…”
