Prognostic Significance of Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio and Platelet-Lymphocyte Ratio in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer release_uo5a2s4tl5bejggf5avucbyldq

Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> There are many studies on biomarkers for prognosis in the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer. Neutrophil-lymphocyte radio (NLR) and Platelet-lymphocyte radio (PLR) are of interest with studies revealing the relationship between inflammatory biomarkers and cancer. Our study is a retrospective file study and the contribution of NLR and PLR to progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival(OS) before first line chemotherapy was investigated regardless treatment. The cut off values of NLR and TLR were determined using ROC curve analysis. NLR and PLR was divided into two groups according to the cut-off points. OS and PFS associated with NLR and TLR were performed by Kaplan-Meier method. In our study, we could not demonstrate the prognostic potential of pre-treatment NLR and PLR in patients with mCRC treated with first-line chemotherapy. Our study was showed that the use of these biomarkers in mCRC is limited.
