The Predictive Value of Neutrophil‐To‐Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) for Response to Neoadjuvant Immunochemotherapy in Resectable IIA–IIIB Non‐Small Cell Lung Cancer in Real‐World Practice

Thoracic Cancer, Volume 17, Issue 13, July 2026.
A low pre‐treatment NLR predicts better pathological response, higher surgical resection rate, and superior survival outcomes in patients with stage IIA–IIIB NSCLC receiving neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy, without compromising safety. NLR may serve as a readily available biomarker to guide clinical decision‐making.

Pre‐TIPS Liver and Spleen Volumetry Are Not Associated With Liver‐Related Outcomes After TIPS Placement for Refractory Ascites

Liver International, Volume 46, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background & Aims Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) improves survival in refractory ascites. A careful patient's selection is mandatory as TIPS can lead to complications. Liver volumetry is predictive of outcomes before hepatic surgery, but data on its role before TIPS placement are scarce. We aimed to evaluate whether liver
