Popis: Systemic inflammation-related factors, either independently or in combination, are recognized as prognostic factors for various cancers. The ratio of lymphocyte count to C-reactive protein concentration (lymphocyte–CRP ratio; LCR) is a recently identified prognostic marker for several cancers. Here, we examined the prognostic value of the LCR in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This was a single-center retrospective study of patients who underwent surgical resection for HCC between 2004 and 2017. Patients were divided into high- and low-LCR status groups, and the relationships between LCR status, prognosis, and other clinicopathological characteristics were analyzed. A total of 454 patients with HCC were enrolled and assigned to the high- (n=245) or low- (n=209) LCR groups. Compared with the high-LCR group, patients in the low-LCR group had a significantly lower serum albumin level (median 4.1 vs. 3.9 g/dL, P
