The pretreatment lymphocyte to monocyte ratio predicts clinical outcome for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma: A meta-analysis.


ABSTRACT: The lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) has been reported to predict clinical outcomes in multiple malignancies. The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic role of pretreatment LMR in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A total of seven studies comprising 2,738 patients were included in the meta-analysis. Pooled results showed that elevated LMR was significantly associated with increased overall survival (OS) (HR: 0.31, 95% CI: 0.20-0.47, p?
