Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index is a Promising Noninvasive Biomarker for Predicting the Survival of Urinary System Cancers: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Abstract:Purpose: Systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) has been reported in numerous studies to effectively predict the pathological features and survival outcomes of urinary system cancers, but no agreement has been reached. The aim of this meta-analysis is to explore the prognostic significance of pretreatment SII in tumours of the urinary system.Methods: Relevant published articles were selected from Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library up to August 30, 2020.
