Gan W, et al. - Authours sought to describe an accurate and easy-to-use prognostic index for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who have undergone curative resection. In patients with HCC undergoing curative resection, lactic dehydrogenase to albumin ratio (LAR) is a novel, convenient, reliable, and accurate prognostic predictor. As per data, LAR was recommended to be used in routine clinical practice. They noted 5.5 to be the optimal cutoff value for LAR. Findings suggested the superiority of the C-index of LAR to other inflammatory scores and serum parameters.
