摘要: 外周血炎症指标中性粒细胞与淋巴细胞比值(NLR)、血小板与淋巴细胞比值(PLR)、淋巴细胞与单核细胞比值(LMR)及全身免疫炎症指数(SII = 血小板 × 中性粒细胞/淋巴细胞)等作为系统性炎症的生物标志物,反映肿瘤微环境(TME)中免疫与炎症的动态平衡。在乳腺癌预后评估和治疗反应预测中体现出重要价值。本文旨在系统综述上述指标在乳腺癌预后评估及新辅助治疗反应预测中的研究进展、临床价值与现存挑战。多项研究证实,NLR、PLR、LMR和SII均可作为独立预后因子,与病理完全缓解(pCR)率、腋窝淋巴结转移风险及生存结局显著相关。综合分析提示,这些低成本、易获取的指标具有临床辅助决策能力,但其临界值标准化及多模态联合应用仍需前瞻性研究。
Abstract: Peripheral blood inflammatory markers such as the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII = platelets × neutrophils/lymphocytes) serve as biomarkers of systemic inflammation, reflecting the dynamic balance of immunity and inflammation in the tumor microenvironment (TME). They have shown significant value in breast cancer prognosis evaluation and treatment response prediction. This article aims to systematically review the research progress, clinical value, and existing challenges of these markers in breast cancer prognosis assessment and neoadjuvant treatment response prediction. Multiple studies have confirmed that NLR, PLR, LMR, and SII can serve as independent prognostic factors, significantly associated with the rate of pathological complete response (pCR), the risk of axillary lymph node metastasis, and survival outcomes. Overall analysis suggests that these low-cost and easily obtainable markers have potential clinical decision-making utility, but the standardization of their cutoff values and their combined use in multimodal approaches still require prospective studies.
