HISLIS: Histology, Sarcopenia, and Lung Inflammation Score—A New Perspective for Lung Cancer Patients?

Future prospective studies are needed to validate the HISLIS and integrate it into the routine clinical and paraclinical assessment of lung cancer patients, as it could represent a triage tool for the early identification of patients at higher risk of unfavorable outcomes. Combining critical information regarding the tumors' characteristics, such as TNM stage and histological characteristics, together with biological and imaging-derived information like the CBC-derived inflammatory status and the associated degree of sarcopenia, could lead to a complex approach and a personalized therapeutic regimen for this highly deadly condition.
