Tomita et al. revealed that the preoperative ALI and CRP levels were significant predictors of OS in patients with NSCLC and that the ALI (HR = 0.436, 95% CI = 0.278–0.679) was superior to the CRP level (HR = 0.631, 95% CI = 0.403–0.993) as a prognostic index [56]. Here, CRP is linked to non-small cell lung carcinoma.
