The prognostic impact of the platelet distribution width-to-platelet count ratio in patients with breast cancer.

The prognostic impact of the platelet distribution width-to-platelet count ratio in patients with breast cancer.

Activated platelets promote tumor cell growth, angiogenesis, and invasion. Platelet activity can be inferred by platelet volume indices (PVIs), which include platelet distribution width (PDW), mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width-to-platelet count ratio (PDW/P), and mean platelet...
