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.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the diagnostic potential of the monocyte to red blood cell count ratio (MRR), neutrophil to red blood cell count ratio (NRR), lymphocyte to red blood cell count ratio (LRR), and the product of lymphocyte count and albumin concentration (LA) in lung cancer patients.
- MRR and NRR were significantly higher in lung cancer patients compared to healthy controls, while LRR and LA were lower; MRR and LA showed the best diagnostic performance with AUC values of 0.810 and 0.721, respectively.
- Combining MRR and LA with other markers like carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and cytokeratin 19 fragment antigen 21-1 (CY
