Abstract:

Introduction: Inflammation is associated with poor prognosis in many types of cancer, as well as facilitating the development of cancer. It is two of the indicators that reflect the inflammation of albumin and globulin. As the album may be affected by many non-inflammatory causes, the album’s globulin rate has been shown to be more successful in reflecting inflammation. In this study, we aimed at determining the prognostic importance of albumin globulin rate (AGO) in small-cell lungs cancer (CHA) and determining its relationship with other inflammatory parameters. Materials and Methods: The KHAK patients diagnosed retrospectively between 2014-2018 were included in the study. The album was divided into the globule at the moment of diagnosis. The median value of 1.2 AGO was considered as the margin value. A total of 81 patients were involved in the study. 40.30% of patients were identified as AGO < 1.2 and 59.30% were identified as AGO ≥ 1.2. Both groups were similar in terms of the characteristics of the patient. A statistically significant reverse correlation between AGO and the neutrophil lymphocytes rate and the platelet lymphocytes rate was established. In the group with AGO ≥ 1.2 both progressive survival and overall survival were statistically longer. Result: AGO can be used as a prognostic indicator in KHAK because it is both easy to apply and a cheap indicator.
