Abstract
Background: AND AIM:Inflammation-based factors including platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) are investigated as a prognostic factor in various types of cancers. Our study aimed to evaluate the prognostic role of both PLR and NLR in NSCLC. Methods: We consecutively enrolled 125 patients who were diagnosed with NSCLC in a tertiary-care hospital. The platelet, lymphocyte and neutrophil counts...
