Research Article: The AST/ALT ratio predicts survival and improves oncological therapy decisions in patients with non-small cell lung cancer receiving immunotherapy with or without radiotherapy
Abstract:
Background and purpose: Immunotherapy, with or without radiotherapy (iRT or ICIs-nonRT), is the standard treatment for non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Nonetheless, the response to the treatment varies among patients. Given the established role of aspartate aminotransferase/alanine transaminase (AST/ALT) ratio in predicting cancer prognosis, we sought to identify whether the pre-treatment AST/ALT ratio has the potential to serve as a prognostic factor for NSCLC patients receiving ICIs-nonRT and iRT.
