Prognostic value of the CONUT score in newly diagnosed diffuse large B‑cell lymphoma

Cancer research · Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

The Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score, an immunonutritional index based on serum albumin, total cholesterol and lymphocyte count, has emerged as a potential prognostic marker in this setting.

The Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score, an immunonutritional index based on serum albumin, total cholesterol and lymphocyte count, has emerged as a potential prognostic marker in this setting.

In patients with diffuse large B‑cell lymphoma, a high pre‑treatment CONUT score is associated with worse overall survival and progression‑free survival, indicating that routine nutritional assessment may improve risk stratification.
