While there are many proposed clinical prediction models for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, like the International Prognostic Index (IPI), revised IPI and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network IPI, there is no widely used model for older patients. A recent study proposed a Geriatric Prognostic Index (GPI) validated in a Norwegian cohort, using independent predictors involving demographic, biochemical and functional parameters. This study aims to validate the GPI in an Asian cohort and simplify the GPI for ease of clinical application.

Article Synopsis
  • Lung cancer is a serious disease with unique challenges, especially in patients diagnosed with resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
  • A study from January 2022 to August 2023 involved 56 patients (mostly smokers and male) who received neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy before surgery, with 80% in stage III.
  • Results showed 86% of patients had a positive response to treatment, and 61% had significant pathological improvements, highlighting the effectiveness of immune checkpoint inhibitors in treating NSCLC before surgery.
