Monitoring of postoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, D-dimer, and CA153 in: Diagnostic value for recurrent and metastatic breast cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This stydy aims to assess the value of monitoring of postoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), D-dimer, and carbohydrate antigen 153 (CA153) for diagnosis of breast cancer (BC) recurrence and metastasis.

Materials/methods

A cohort of 252 BC patients who underwent surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University between August 2008 and August 2018 were enrolled in this retrospective study. All patients were examined during outpatient follow-ups every 3 months for 5 years postoperation and every 6 months thereafter. Recurrence or metastasis was recorded for 131 patients but not for the remaining 121. Retrospective analysis of hematological parameters and clinicopathological characteristics allowed comparison between the two groups and ev
