Correlation between the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and clinicopathological parameters in epithelial ovarian cancer patients and its effect on prognosis-a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ovarian cancer is a common malignant tumor of the female reproductive system, and its mortality rate is high. In recent years, studies have found that the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has a correlation with the prognosis of patients with malignant tumors; however, its association with the prognosis of ovarian cancer patients has not been studied. Therefore, we designed this study to investigate the correlation between the NLR and clinicopathological parameters in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer and its effect on prognosis.

Methods

A total of 168 ovarian cancer patients (received operation in our hospital and age ≥18 years) admitted to the Pu Ren Hospital in Wuhan City and Shandong Qingdao Hospital of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine from
