Prognostic role of the advanced lung cancer inflammation index in cancer patients: a meta-analysis

Abstract: Background: Inflammation plays a critical role in the development and progression of cancers. The advanced lung cancer inflammation index (ALI) is thought to be able to reflect systemic inflammation better than current biomarkers. However, the prognostic significance of the ALI in various types of cancer remains unclear. Our metaanalysis aimed to comprehensively investigate the relationship between the ALI and oncologic outcomes to help physicians better assess the prognosis of cancer patients.

“…The ALI was devised to assess the degree of systemic inflammation in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients [31]. Subsequently, ALI had also been demonstrated to be a prognostic factor of survival in some cancers [32][33][34]. The difference between the ALI and other inflammatory markers was that the ALI contained not only indices related to inflammation but also the body mass index (BMI), which was reported to correlate with the sarcopenic status [33].…”

“…The ALI was devised to assess the degree of systemic in ammation in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients (Jafri et al 2013). Subsequently, ALI had also been demonstrated to be a prognostic factor of survival in some cancers (Hua et al 2019;Park et al 2017;Shibutani et al 2019). The difference between the ALI and other in ammatory markers was that the ALI contained not only indices related to in ammation but also the body mass index (BMI), which was reported to correlate with the sarcopenic status (Shibutani et al 2019).…”
