Prognostic role of pretreatment blood neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in advanced cancer survivors: A systematic review and meta-analysis of 66 cohort studies

Highlights

• 66 cohorts with over 14 cancer types representing 24536 participants are included.

• High pretreatment NLR is associated with poor prognosis in advanced cancer.

• The impact of petreatment NLR remains consistent when adjusted for confounders.

• Large-scale prospective studies of specific cancer type are strongly advocated

 

Abstract

Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is crucial for the incidence and mortality of various tumors. However, little is known on NLR and its association with prognosis in advanced tumors. Here we performed a meta-analysis to establish the prognostic significance of pretreatment blood NLR for advanced tumors.

Keywords
