Investigators at Sichuan University Report Findings in Lung Cancer (Association of Prognostic Nutritional Index With Long-term Survival In Lung Cancer Receiving Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors: a Meta-analysis).

A meta-analysis conducted by researchers at Sichuan University in Chengdu, People's Republic of China, explored the association of prognostic nutritional index (PNI) with long-term survival in lung cancer patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors. The study included 22 available studies with 2550 patients and found that lower PNI was linked to worse progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). The research concluded that patients with lower PNI are more likely to have a poorer prognosis when treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors. [Extracted from the article]
