Prognostic Significance of Pretreatment Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio, Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio, or Monocyte-to-Lymphocyte Ratio in Endometrial Neoplasms: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), or monocyte-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) has been shown to be related to the poor prognosis of cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, and other malignant tumors, but their role in predicting the prognosis of endometrial cancer is still controversial. Therefore, we conducted this meta-analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of NLR more accurately, PLR, or MLR in predicting the prognosis of endometrial cancer (EC).

Methods

This review systematically searched for relevant publications in databases of the Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE, CNKI, WanFang, VIP, and CBM. Pooled hazard ratios (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were determined and used to explore the association between inflammatory bio
