Key clinical point: C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) can predict overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients treated with lenvatinib for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC).
Major finding: High CAR (≥0.108) was independently associated with OS (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 1.915; P < .001) and PFS (aHR 1.644; P < .001). Patients with low vs. high CAR showed significantly better cumulative OS and PFS (both P < .001).
Study details: This retrospective, multicenter study included 522 patients with uHCC who were treated with lenvatinib for >2 weeks, followed-up for >4 weeks, and had CAR data available at the beginning of follow-up.
Disclosures: This study did not receive any funding. Some authors reported serving as advisors for or receiving research funds or lecture fees from various sources.
