Large Granular Lymphocytes in mNSCLC Treated With Nivolumab
About this study
Large granular lymphocytes (LGLs), which constitute 10-15% of peripheral blood mononuclear cells, are large lymphocytes with a round nucleus, large cytoplasm, and azurophilic granules in the cytoplasm. Most normal LGLs in peripheral blood are natural killer (NK) cells, but some are T lymphocytes. These cells cannot be measured by a standard complete blood count (CBC) test. These cells, which can be detected by peripheral smear, are expressed numerically and as a percentage relative to other cells. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between the percentage of LGLs at baseline and at three months and the response and clinical parameters in participants with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer treated with nivolumab in second-line therapy.
