The purpose of the study was to determine the influence of lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) values on the prognosis in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and venous tumor thrombus. The respective data of 91 patients treated with radical surgery in the years 2012–2021 in 2 tertiary referral urological centers were retrieved from local medical databases. Mean calculated 3-year overall survival (OS) reached 70% (mean follow-up 35.3 months). The association between lower LMR and the presence of tumor necrosis ( p  = 0.0004) was observed. Amongst systemic inflammatory markers, only LMR was selected as the sensitive marker predicting death with a calculated cut-off value of 2.53. OS was decreased in patients presenting with low LMR when compared to the high LMR group (39% vs. 82%,  p  = 0.0011). Neither NLR nor PLR were associated with survival rates. In multivariate analysis, LMR was identified as the independent prognostic factor (HR = 0.20, 95% CI 0.07–0.55,  p  = 0.001). Low values of LMR (<2.53) are independently connected with poorer OS in patients with RCC and coexisting tumor thrombus. The incorporation of the hematological variables into the prognostic model greatly increased its accuracy in predicting survival in the distinctive subpopulation of patients with RCC.

Low Lymphocyte-to-Monocyte Ratio Is the Potential Indicator of Worse Overall Survival in Patients with Renal Cell Carcinoma and Venous Tumor Thrombus
