Diagnostic and prognostic role of NLR in testicular cancer.
Explor Target Antitumor Ther
September 2024
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and its implications in testicular cancer, finding that NLR is higher in patients than in healthy individuals or those with benign conditions.
- - Post-surgery, specifically after orchiectomy, NLR levels significantly decrease, indicating a potential response to treatment.
- - An elevated NLR is associated with several negative prognostic factors, such as advanced cancer stage and poorer outcomes, although it cannot distinguish between different types of testicular cancer.
Background: Limb ischemia is a severe vascular condition that can lead to critical complications, endangering both limbs and lives. The goal of this research was to explore the role of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in limb ischemia.
Methods: From inception to June 8, 2022, PubMed/MEDLINE, Institute for Scientific Information Web of Science, and Scopus were searched for articles comparing NLR in limb ischemia to healthy individuals.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) impacts the outcomes of patients with penile squamous cell carcinoma (PSCC).
- A meta-analysis was performed, analyzing 14 studies to understand the relationship between NLR levels and patient survival, utilizing established quality assessment criteria.
- Results indicated that higher NLR levels were linked to worse prognosis and lower survival rates in PSCC patients, confirming NLR's important role in diagnosis and prognosis despite no link to tumor size or stage.
Background: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the potential value of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as an assessment tool in the clinical distinction between uterine sarcoma and uterine leiomyoma.
Methods: We comprehensively searched Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed for relevant papers published before March 19, 2023. The standardized mean difference (SMD) was provided, along with a 95% confidence interval (CI).
