The Hemoglobin, Albumin, Lymphocyte, and Platelet (HALP) Score is a Novel Significant Prognostic Factor for Patients with Metastatic Prostate Cancer Undergoing Cytoreductive Radical Prostatectomy
Conclusion: Overall, our results confirmed the HALP score as an independent prognostic factor for PSA-PFS in patients with mPCA or oPCA after cRP. Moreover, the new index, HALPG, also appeared to be an independent prognostic factor and was better than the HALP score. Importantly, it is evident that this new prognostic index has the ability to accurately identify patients at low, intermediate, and high risk of recurrence, thus easily allowing informed treatment decisions to be made.
