The association between disease staging and peripheral lymphocyte count (PLC) was studied in 178 patients with histologically verified lung cancer. Mean PLC varied inversely with the stage of disease (p less than .01). The mean values were 2821, 2217, and 1594 for Stages I, II and III respectively. Thoretical normal distributions were generated about the mean peripheral lymphocyte count for each stage. Relative frequencies of lung cancer staging based on the PLC are estimated utilizing these curves.
对178例经组织学证实的肺癌患者研究了疾病分期与外周淋巴细胞计数(PLC)之间的关联。平均PLC与疾病分期呈负相关(p<0.01)。I期、II期和III期的平均值分别为2821、2217和1594。针对每个阶段的平均外周淋巴细胞计数生成了理论正态分布。利用这些曲线估计基于PLC的肺癌分期的相对频率。
