Application of Monocyte-to-Albumin Ratio and Neutrophil Percentage-to-Hemoglobin Ratio on Distinguishing Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients from Healthy Subjects.

Objective: This study aims at assessing the potential benefits of observation of monocyte-to-albumin ratio (MAR) and neutrophil percentage-to-hemoglobin ratio (NPHR) in the detection of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Methods: This study retrospectively involved 195 NSCLC patients and 204 healthy volunteers. The correlations between the clinicopathological characteristics of NSCLC and the two ratios including MAR and NPHR were assessed.

Additional diagnostic value of the monocyte to red blood cell count ratio and the product of lymphocyte count and albumin concentration in lung cancer management.

The present study aimed to evaluate the potential of the monocyte to red blood cell count ratio (MRR), the neutrophil to red blood cell count ratio (NRR), the lymphocyte to red blood cell count ratio (LRR) and the product of lymphocyte count and albumin concentration (LA) for the diagnosis of lung cancer. The cases of 216 patients with newly diagnosed lung cancer and 184 healthy volunteers were retrospectively analysed. The MRR and NRR were found to be higher in patients with lung cancer compared with those in healthy controls, while the LRR and LA were lower.
