Clinical significance of mean corpuscular volume as a prognostic indicator of radiotherapy for locally advanced lung cancer: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although the prognosis of solid tumors is related to the mean corpuscular volume (MCV), which can roughly predict the prognosis of patients, its correlation with locally advanced lung cancer is still unclear. We evaluated the relationship between serum MCV levels and prognosis in patients before radiotherapy.

Methods

We retrospectively collected the age, sex, smoking history, TNM stage, ECOG score, hematocrit (HCT), MCV, mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and red blood cell distribution width-standard deviation (RDW-SD) of patients with locally advanced lung cancer who received chest radiotherapy from 2013 to 2017, and analyzed the relationship between this information and the overall survival (OS).

Results

Among all patients, 89 were male (79.5%), 23 were
