High neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratios confer poor prognoses in patients with small cell lung cancer

Abstract Background The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) are easily obtained from routine blood tests. We investigated the associations of the NLR and PLR with the clinical parameters and prognoses of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients. Methods Pre-trea...
