Advances in Prognostic Value of Peripheral Blood Inflammatory Indexes in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Abstract

Lung cancer is a kind of malignant tumor with high morbidity and poor prognosis, and non-small cell lung cancer is in the majority. Some indications other than anatomical changes, can be helpful for monitoring disease progress. Inflammation is closely related to non-small cell lung cancer. Inflammatory indexes based on common peripheral blood cells and C-reactive protein are of great prognostic value. In this paper, we review the articles about the prognostic value of inflammation indexes in peripheral blood, to understand related research status scientifically, comprehensively and objectively.
