Hematological indicators of chronic systemic inflammation are significant biomarkers for gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP-NENs). We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the impact of certain factors on the overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and disease-free survival (DFS) of patients with GEP-NENs. These factors include the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte/monocyte ratio (LMR), and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels.

- Radix Sophorae flavescentis is an herbal remedy believed to alleviate symptoms and inhibit HBV's replication, but its actual effects on patient outcomes haven't been thoroughly studied.
- The objective of the study is to determine the benefits and potential harms of Radix Sophorae flavescentis compared to a placebo or no treatment for patients with chronic hepatitis B, through a comprehensive review of existing clinical trials.
