Article Synopsis
- Elevated neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is linked to worse survival outcomes in pancreatic cancer (PC) patients, while platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) does not independently affect survival.
- A study involving 95 patients found that high pretreatment NLR (NLR > 4.0) predicted shorter time to treatment failure (TTF) and overall survival (OS), indicating its role as a significant prognostic factor.
- The findings suggest that while NLR is a valuable predictor for PC outcomes, it is not helpful in choosing between gemcitabine-based chemotherapy and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) treatments.
