“…A high level of malnutrition was correlated with high levels of systemic inflammation. Meanwhile, several proinflammatory cytokines, such as TNF alpha, IL 6, and hormones would be produced by the tumor directly or systemically in response to the tumor, which had also been reported in the pathogenesis of malnutrition (21,34). Malnutrition is a common cause of secondary immunologic dysfunction, as it results in a decrease in the total lymphocyte count (13,35).…”

“…Therefore, an efficient and convenient method to predict the prognosis of lung cancer patients is indispensable. Previous studies demonstrated that malnutrition is associated with the cachexia of cancer patients ( 4 ) and can even affect the complications and survival of human malignancies ( 5 ), and several nutritional biomarkers were applied to predict the survival of lung cancer patients, such as the Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) ( 6 ) and Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) ( 7 , 8 ). The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) ( 9 ), a novel index designed for assessing the nutritional status of elderly patients, has also shown good prognostic value in tumor patients ( 10 , 11 ).…”

“…Aging, changes in end-organ function, and body composition remain well-documented risk factors for MN in non-cancer and cancer illnesses. [35][36][37] In our sample, age was not an independent predictor of H-MST in multivariate analysis. We did, however, observe multiple symptoms to be independently associated with H-MST including depression, distress, fatigue, and trouble eating/swallowing.…”
