Predictive impact for postoperative recurrence using the preoperative prognostic nutritional index in pathological stage I non-small cell lung cancer

Highlights • PNI is calculated based on serum albumin and lymphocyte count in peripheral blood. • We analyzed p-stage I NSCLC patients to investigate effects of preoperative PNI. • PNI was an independent prognostic factor in p-stage I NSCLC. • The low-PNI group had a significantly shorter RFS, regar...

Description
Summary:Highlights • PNI is calculated based on serum albumin and lymphocyte count in peripheral blood. • We analyzed p-stage I NSCLC patients to investigate effects of preoperative PNI. • PNI was an independent prognostic factor in p-stage I NSCLC. • The low-PNI group had a significantly shorter RFS, regardless of p-T factors. • The preoperative PNI level is a simple and novel predictor of recurrence.
