Prognostic significance of the CALLY index for cancer risk and survival: evidence from NHANES 2001–2018
The CALLY index is significantly associated with cancer risk and mortality. As a simple and robust biomarker reflecting immune-nutritional status, it may be associated with cancer risk and could provide useful information for prognostic assessment. Although causal inferences cannot be drawn due to the cross-sectional design of NHANES.
