The Naples prognostic score (NPS) is an effective inflammatory and nutritional scoring system widely applied as a prognostic factor in various cancers. We aimed to analyze the prognostic value of the NPS in patients diagnosed with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We prospectively collected 395 patients diagnosed with NSCLC between January 2016 and December 2018 in two university-affiliated hospitals.

Article Synopsis
  • A study in Suzhou, China examined the relationship between red meat, fish, and poultry consumption and metabolic syndrome (Mets) among 4424 participants, finding mixed results regarding these associations.
  • The cross-sectional study showed that higher red meat consumption was linked to an increased odds ratio (OR) for Mets, while fish consumption showed a protective effect, and poultry had no significant correlation.
  • Meta-analysis supported these findings, indicating that red meat consumption may lead to higher risk of Mets (RR 1.20), whereas fish consumption appears to lower the risk (RR 0.88); no clear trend was observed for poultry.

We aimed to evaluate the expression of growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) and lactoferrin (Lf) in tumor and their relationship with the body iron-status and overall survival (OS) outcome of patients with breast cancer. A retrospective cohort study of female patients with primary breast cancer was performed. Clinical tumor samples from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University between December 2008 and June 2014 were collected.

The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) is widely applied as a prognostic factor in different cancers. We aimed to analyze the prognostic value of the GNRI in 257 patients diagnosed with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients with GNRI >98, 92-98, and <92 were grouped into normal, low risk and moderate/high risk groups, respectively.
