Regarding predictive factors for Hodgkin's lymphoma, low LMR was significantly associated with high white blood cell count (HR: 0.67, 95% CI: 0.46–0.99; P = 0.047), low albumin (HR: 0.47, 95% CI: 0.36–0.60; P < 0.001) and low Hemoglobin (HR: 0.41, 95% CI: 0.30–0.56; P < 0.001). This evidence concerns the gene ALB and Hodgkins lymphoma.
