Predictive Value of CRP, Albumin, CAR, and mGPS in DLBCL: A Prospective Cohort Study on Treatment Outcomes and Toxicity
This observational study evaluates the predictive value of systemic inflammatory markers-CRP, albumin, CRP-to-albumin ratio (CAR), and modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS)-in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) receiving R-CHOP chemotherapy. The study examines associations with treatment response, toxicity, and clinical characteristics.
