High Expression of NLR and SII in patients With Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma as Potential Prognostic Observations.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To assess the value of pretreatment neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and systemic immunoinflammatory index (SII) in the prognosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients.

Methods

This retrospective study analyzed a total of 185 NPC patients who visited the clinic from June 2015 to December 2018 and were selected as study subjects. The NLR and SII were calculated based on the collection of demographic information, clinical characteristics, and pre-treatment lymphocyte counts, neutrophil counts, and platelet counts. Predictive efficacy was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and survival analysis was performed through life table methods and Cox risk-proportional regression.

Results

Using the X-tile software, significant diff
