Diagnostic role of the neutrophil‑to‑lymphocyte ratio and the platelet‑to‑lymphocyte ratio in breast cancer: A systematic review and meta‑analysis.

ABSTRACT: Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) may be indicative of breast cancer (BC); however, this remains inconclusive. With the aim to assess the current literature to evaluate the diagnostic roles of NLR PLR and LMR in BC, a systematic literature search was performed using the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, VIP database and China Biology Medicine disc databases up to August 29, 2023. The standardized mean deviation and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for each outcome was reported, and heterogeneity and publication bias were assessed. Overall, 39 studies were included in the present study. Pooled analysis with the random-effects model demonstrated that patients
