Table 5. Prostate cancer summary (N = 2).

Study name (year) Study
type/size
HALP threshold
(method)
Outcome(s) Summary
The Hemoglobin, Albumin,
Lymphocyte, and Platelet (HALP)
Score is a Novel Significant
Prognostic Factor for Patients
with Metastatic Prostate Cancer
Undergoing Cytoreductive Radical
Prostatectomy; Guo et al., (2019)
Retrospective
N = 82
32.4 (X-Tile) PFS in metastatic prostate cancer
patients receiving cytoreductive
radical prostatectomy.
HALP scores below 32.4 were
significantly associated with a
lower prostate-specific antigen
progression-free survival in both
metastatic and oligometastatic
prostate cancer subgroups.
HALP score and albumin levels in
men with prostate cancer and benign
prostate hyperplasia; Kaya et al.,
(2020)
Retrospective
N = 225
49.43 (Median in BPH patients)
51.2 (Median in PCa patients)
Predicting PCa using HALP. HALP was not found to be a
significant prognostic index for
patients with PCa.
