OBJECTIVES The usefulness of a recently developed advanced lung cancer inflammation
index (ALI) has been reported in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small …

Introduction The albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) grade is a novel indicator of the liver function.
Some studies showed that the ALBI grade was a prognostic and predictive biomarker for the …

Background A normal albumin-to-globulin ratio (NAGR) in serum is greater than 1. Inversed
albumin-to-globulin ratio (IAGR< 1) indicates poor synthetic liver function or malnutrition …

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to compare the postoperative immune-nutritional status of
patients undergoing segmentectomy and lobectomy for early-stage non-small-cell lung …

Background Several inflammation-based scoring systems and nutritional indicators have
been shown to have relevance to survival of patients with non-small cell lung cancer …

Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer‑associated mortality. C‑reactive protein
(CRP), albumin (ALB), globulin (GLB), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), neutrophil‑lymphocyte …

Purpose A high plasma level of either fibrinogen or d-dimer has been shown to correlate
with a poor prognosis in patients with surgically resected non-small-cell lung cancer …

Background The aim was to systematically select blood markers routinely tested in clinical
settings, which are independently associated with overall survival (OS) and are able to …

Objectives To assess the association between common-used serum tumor markers and
recurrence of lung adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma separately and …

Objective The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is an immunonutrition index. Although
preoperative PNI (pre-PNI) has been reported as a prognostic factor for patients with …
