The postoperative platelet distribution width is useful for predicting the prognosis in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
Abstract
The platelet distribution width (PDW) is reportedly useful as a prognostic indicator for some cancers. However, its prognostic significance in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is unclear. We enrolled 104 patients with thoracic ESCC, who underwent curative esophagectomy. Receiver operating curve analyses indicated that the optimal cut-off values of pre- and postoperative PDW were 16.9 and 17.0, respectively. The 5-year overall survival...
