Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic utilities of monocyte to hemoglobin ratio (MHR) and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio to albumin ratio (NLRAR) in the detection of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Methods: We retrospectively collected and analyzed the clinical and laboratory data, including 196 NSCLC cases and 204 controls.
Results: The area under the curve (AUC) for 95% confidence interval (95% CI) of MHR and NLRAR in the diagnosis of NSCLC were found to be 0.822 (0.781-0.864) and 0.712 (0.662-0.762), respectively. The combined use of MHR, NLRAR, and carcinoma embryonic antigen (CEA) exhibited higher diagnostic sensitivity (AUC: 0.855; 95% CI: 0.818-0.892; sensitivity: 70.4%; specificity: 89.2%) than the use of individual markers or two markers combined. MHR was a potential biomarker to detect early-stage NSCLC.
Conclusions: MHR and NLRAR are effective auxiliary biomarkers to predict the presence of NSCLC. When these markers are combined with CEA the diagnostic effects will further improve.
