Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index as a prognostic marker in patients with extensive ‐stage disease small cell lung cancer: Results from a randomized controlled trial
ConclusionsThis prospective study shows that a low GNRI value was associated with a poor prognosis, and it supports the relationship between systemic inflammation, nutritional status, and clinical outcomes in patients with ED ‐SCLC.Key pointsSignificant findings of the studyThe lower GNRI group had a low response rate to chemotherapy for ED ‐SCLC. The HRs for PFS and OS were 1.300 and 1.539 in the patients with GNRI < 92.What this study addsLow GNRI is associated with poor prognosis in ED ‐SCLC.
