ABSTRACT: Background
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide. While traditional prognostic factors have mainly focused on tumor characteristics, recent evidence underscores the importance of immune response, inflammation, and nutritional status in determining patient outcomes. This study assesses the prognostic value of prognostic immune-inflammatory-nutritional (PIIN) score in predicting overall survival (OS) of NSCLC patients.Methods
A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 406 NSCLC patients who underwent surgical treatment. The optimal PIIN score cut-off value was established using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, dividing patients into high and low PIIN score groups. B
