Pretreatment neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio but not platelet/lymphocyte ratio has a prognostic impact in multiple myeloma

We evaluated the prognostic significance of neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in patients with multiple myeloma (MM).In total, we retrospectively analyzed 315 newly diagnosed MM patients and calculated NLR and PLR from the complete blood count of the untreated patients. We further assessed the role of pretreatment NLR and PLR on overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS).Multiple myeloma...
