Abstract

To examine the longitudinal relationship between the systemic inflammatory response, circulating T-lymphocyte subpopulations, interleukin-6 and -10 in patients undergoing immunotherapy for metastatic renal cancer, as the inflammation-based Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS) provides additional prognostic information in patients with advanced renal cancer, but the basis of the relationship between the systemic inflammatory response and poorer survival is not clear, and nor is the effect of immunotherapy on related variables
