This article is the first to utilize the value of advanced lung cancer
2
inflammation index to predict the overall survival in patients with
3
small-cell lung cancer. We enrolled 365 patients were eligible for analysis
4
and found that lower ALI significantly associated with worse overall
5
survival in small-cell lung cancer patients. The result provided the
6
evaluation of ALI could authenticate the patients with poor prognosis
7
and be a useful prognostic marker in clinical practice.

Background: A recent study indicated that advanced lung cancer
2
inflammation index (ALI) could predict the overall survival (OS) in
3
patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the
4
prognostic value in small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) has not been studied yet.
5
Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore the relationship between
6
ALI and the prognosis of SCLC.

Patients and methods: we screened 460 patients who were
9
diagnosed as SCLC from June 2006 to December 2011 in Sun Yat-Sen
10
University Cancer Center. Data acquisition was though patients’ medical
11
information, blood results recorded at diagnosis. ALI was calculated as
12
the formula: BMI (body mass index) × Alb (serum albumin)/NLR
13
(neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio).
