Abstract

Minute clear cell renal cell carcinoma (MccRCC) has a diameter of <1.5 cm and can be diagnosed using multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT). Recently, the role of the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in the development of MccRCC has attracted attention. This study aimed to further explore the relationship between the NLR and MccRCC.This was a prospective study of 100 patients who were diagnosed with MccRCC using MSCT at Urumqi Friendship Hospital, China. The study investigated a series of pretreatment factors, including NLR and patients' general clinical data. Statistical methods employed included Pearson's chi-square test, Spearman-rho correlation test, Cox regression analysis, and receiver operator characteristic curve analysis.Based on Pearson's χ2, Spearman-rho test, and univariate/multivariate Cox regression analysis, the overall survival of patients with MccRCC was shown to be significantly related to NLR (P < .001). NLR (hazard ratio = 50.676, 95%CI, 17.543-146.390, P < .001) is a significant independent risk-factor for MccRCC. A receiver operator characteristic curve was plotted to examine specificity and sensitivity between NLR and MccRCC (area under curve = 0.958, P < .001).The level of the NLR plays a crucial role in the surv...Continue Reading
