From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Manchester score is an indicator of prognosis in small cell lung cancer.[1][2] It is calculated from a number of physical and biochemical markers.
A patient with small cell lung cancer scores one point for each of the following: [citation needed]-
- Serum lactate dehydrogenase exceeds the upper limit of the reference range.
- Serum sodium concentration less than 132 mmol/L.
- Serum alkaline phosphatase over one-and-a-half times the upper limit of the reference range.
- Serum bicarbonate less than 24.
