Postoperative short-term prognostic factors in patients with primary lung cancer who undergo lobectomy: a study on the prognostic predictors of early postoperative recurrence.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lung cancer is among the most common types of cancers worldwide, and surgery can be a curative treatment option for this condition. However, some patients experience postoperative recurrence. Hence, predicting early postoperative recurrence to improve patient prognosis is important. This study aimed to determine the usefulness of nutritional inflammation indexes in predicting the prognosis of early recurrence after lung cancer surgery.

Methods

A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 310 patients with primary lung cancer who underwent lung lobectomy at Jikei University Hospital from January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2017. The prognostic nutrition index (PNI), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and modified Glasgow prognos
