  Background: The nutritional status affects gene expression in peripheral T lymphocytes; nevertheless, the link between nutritional status and immunity of cancer patients is unclear. The aim of the research was to evaluate the connection with nutritional parameters and the frequencies of T cells subsets on peripheral blood in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Methods: We enrolled 170 NSCLC patients and 53 healthy volunteers who were age and gender matched. The frequencies of circulating CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, naïve CD4+, memory CD4+, naïve CD8+, memory CD8+, and regulatory T lymphocytes were assessed by the way of flow cytometry. Nutritional parameters including albumin, globulin, albumin to globulin ratio (AGR), total protein (TP), pre-albumin (PA), body mass index (BMI), and prognostic nutritional index (P.. View More»
