Combining the use of the instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) scale and the ACA index, this article describes the IADL ACA index (IACA index), which is an effective tool for comprehensive geriatric assessment in DLBCL.
The ACA index has the ability to stratify the prognosis, tolerability to cytotoxic drugs, and adherence to treatment of elderly patients with DLBCL treated with R-CHOP.
Utility of a simple prognostic stratification based on platelet counts and serum albumin levels in elderly patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma.
The international staging system (ISS), based on serum beta-2 microglobulin and albumin, is used to predict survival in multiple myeloma, but its prognostic significance in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) remains unknown.
