Prognostic role of the systemic immune –inflammation index in upper tract urothelial carcinoma treated with radical nephroureterectomy: results from a large multicenter international collaboration

ConclusionsPreoperative altered SII is significantly associated with higher pathologic stages and worse survival outcomes in patients treated with RNU for UTUC. However, the SII appears to have relatively limited incremental additive value in clinical use. Further study of SII in prognosticating UTUC is warranted before routine use in clinical algorithms.
