632P Prognostic relevance of pre-treatment c-reactive protein to albumin ratio in patients with diffuse large b cell lymphoma

Abstract

Previous studies have shown that a high level of pre-treatment C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) is associated with poor outcomes in patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). However, these were single-centre studies with a relatively small number of patients. The aim of our study was to further investigate the prognostic value of CAR in a larger cohort and whether the addition of CAR to the International Prognostic Index (IPI) would result in a better discriminatory ability.
