Prognostic analysis of prostaglandin D2 synthase in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

More than 60% of biliary tract cancer patients receive curative surgical resection. Nethereless, there is an absence of useful tools to predict prognosis before operation. Serum albumin and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratios are easily determined. Serum albumin is a marker of nutrition status and is correlated with prognosis in many cancer treatments. A neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio is a novel parameter widely used in most medical fields because it is a reliable marker of the immune response to different stimuli. Our study demonstrates that combined albumin and neutrophil scores, including nutritional and inflammatory indices, could predict operative survival in resectable biliary tract cancer patients.
