ALB and cancer: Among the dynamic observations representing immune status and the inflammatory response, the platelet-to-lymphocytes ratio (platelets-lymphocytes ratio PLR), the nutritional prognosis index (prognostic nutritional index, PNI), the control nutritional status (controlling status, CONUT) score, and the lactic acid dehydrogenase vs albumin ratio (LDH/albuminin, LAR) have been used in a variety of cancer prognosis studies (Dan & Lianyii, 2020; Liang et al., 2017; Mirili et al., 2019; Smith et al., 2016).
