CD11c- and CD123-positive dendritic cells in development of antitumour immunity in non-small cell lung cancer patients.

Our aim was to analyzed the significance of CD11c and CD123 positive DCs and their relations with some clinical and pathologic parameters of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The immunohistochemical expression of CD11c and CD123, was evaluated in 40 patients with NSCLC. After analysis we found that 35.

The Position of Neutrophils-To-Lymphocytes and Lymphocytes-To-Platelets Ratio as Predictive Markers of Progression and Prognosis in Patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is an insidious metastasis condition of the lungs often presenting no symptoms at the onset. Defining markers for quick determination of prognosis is essential for building up a treatment strategy.

Aim: The aim of this study is to define the role of the Neutrophils-to-Lymphocytes ratio (NLR) and Platelets-to- Lymphocytes ratio (PLR) as biomarkers in patients with NSCLC, according to the stage and prognosis of the disease.
