ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the most common malignant proliferative disease of the lymphatic system, is commonly associated with inflammation.
Research motivation
It is still necessary to find effective biomarkers to predict the prognosis and recurrence of DLBCL among patients.
Research objectives
We discussed the association between the systemic immune inflammation index (SII), ratio of lymphocytes to monocytes (LMR), ratio of LMR to lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and prognosis of DLBCL patients.
Research methods
Total 68 patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma selected for treatment in our hospital. The differences in the SII, LMR, and LMR/LDH among patients with different clinicopathological features were analyzed.
Research results
SII, LMR, and LMR/LDH were influencing factors for the prognosis of DLBCL patients.
Research conclusions
The SII, LMR, and LMR/LDH in DLBCL patients were related to the clinicopathological features of the patients to a certain extent and were also influencing factors for the prognosis of DLBCL patients.
Research perspectives
It is necessary to perform larger studies to help clinicians choose a reasonable therapeutic regimen.
