Advanced Lung Cancer Inflammation Index (ALI)
Advanced Lung Cancer Inflammation Index (Jafri 2013) = BMI (kg/m^2) x serum albumin (g/dL) / neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (ANC / ALC).

Example
- BMI
- 25 kg/m^2
- Serum albumin
- 4.0 g/dL
- Absolute neutrophil count
- 6.0 10^9/L
- Absolute lymphocyte count
- 2.0 10^9/L
Result: Advanced Lung Cancer Inflammation Index 33.3 — interpretation is context-dependent (a lower value is less favorable).
The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.
What the result means
- value
- ALI = BMI (kg/m^2) x albumin (g/dL) / NLR (ANC/ALC). A nutrition/inflammation marker; a LOWER value is less favorable. No universal cutoff.
What you enter
