Prognostic value of lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in follicular lymphoma: a retrospective cohort study. [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: The clinical course and prognosis of follicular lymphoma (FL) are diverse and associated with the patient's immune response. We investigated the lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as prognostic factors

Survival prediction in mesothelioma using a scalable lasso regression model: instructions for use and initial performance using clinical predictors [PDF]
Introduction: Accurate prognostication is difficult in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). We developed a set of robust computational models to quantify the prognostic value of routinely available clinical data, which form the basis of published MPM ...
