Article Synopsis
- Esophageal cancer (EC) diagnosis is challenging due to low early detection rates, prompting this study to explore the role of plasma methylation markers in diagnosing and monitoring the disease.
- The research involved analyzing plasma samples from 210 patients using TaqMan polymerase chain reaction to measure methylation, with results showing promising sensitivity and specificity for differentiating various types of esophageal cancer.
- The findings suggest that plasma methylation markers could significantly enhance the accuracy of EC diagnosis and improve treatment monitoring.
A few previous studies have investigated the prognostic value of the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) in patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs); however, the results are inconsistent. Therefore, this study aimed to clarify the prognostic significance of PNI. The PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched.
