“…Albeit different PNI cut-off values have been reported previously for NSCLC patients, again these studies were restrained by heterogeneous patient attributes which hindered the ability to reveal the precise relationship between the specified PNI cut-offs and survival outcomes. 34,35 For instance, Kos et al reported that the mean OS for patients with PNI < 49.5 and ≥ 49.5 were 7 and 33 months in a sum of 138 NSCLC patients, respectively. 34 Nonetheless, patients were categorized according to the median cut-off value rather than on a more reliable statistical tool, such as the ROC curve analysis.…”

Moreover, the study population included patients with heterogeneous disease stages ranging from stage I to IV, and only 15% of them received CRT as the primary treatment.…”

“…Additionally, to evaluate nutritional status, more complex indices, such as the prognostic nutritional index (PNI), have been developed and widely used 913 . The PNI is a combined nutritional-inflammatory score based on serum albumin levels and the lymphocyte count that reflects the immunological nutritional condition and that measures the risk of several types of cancer in patients 14 . This index is convenient to obtain since only simple blood biomarkers are required.…”

“…As the conceptual tumor develops over last decade, evading immune destruction has become a cancer progress hallmark [6]. Systemic inflammatory response plays an important role in cancer development or progression but different inflammation-based indices account for different type of cancer [8, 9]. Theoretically, inflammatory status should convey valuable information of lung cancer development or progression but unfortunately most specific inflammatory factors are not accessible before surgery and some are only available as research tools.…”
