Comparison of the prognostic value of MUST, ECOG-PS, mGPS and CT derived body composition analysis in patients with advanced lung cancer.

CONCLUSION: A large proportion of patients (71%) with advanced lung cancer were at moderate to high nutrition risk. Higher malnutrition risk and elevated inflammatory status were independently associated with poor overall survival. MUST, ECOG-PS and mGPS all had independent prognostic value and may form an important prognostic framework in treatment decision making and resource utilization. PMID: 33183562 [PubMed - in process]
