Modified prognostic scoring system.
| Prognostic factora) | |
|---|---|
| Age>60 yr | |
| ECOG PS>1 | |
| Raised LDH | |
| Low ADC | |
| Scores (risk) | 2-yr overall survival (%) |
| 0 (low) | 100 |
| 1 (intermediate-1) | 88.9 |
| 2 (intermediate-2) | 55.4 |
| 3–4 (high) | 33.5 |
a)Each factor was assigned a value of 1, if is present. The score was the sum of each value.
Abbreviations: ADC, apparent diffusion coefficient; ECOG PS, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status; LDH, lactate dehydrogenase.
