Absolute band neutrophils count is a predictor of overall survival in advanced uterine cervical cancer.

Purpose: Neutrophils play a role during the oncogenic process, and their count can be a prognostic marker. The objective was to evaluate the association of band and segmented neutrophils with prognostic factors, overall survival, and disease-free survival in advanced uterine cervical cancer (IIB to IVB staging).

Methods: This study evaluated 88 patients diagnosed with uterine cervical cancer staging IIB to IVB.

Blood count and fasting blood glucose level in the assessment of prognosis and survival in advanced cervical cancer.

Objective: The objective of this study was to verify whether the parameters of the blood count and the fasting glucose level before treatment are related to prognosis and survival in cervical cancer (IIB-IVB staging).

Methods: Patients with cervical cancer (stages IIB-IVB) were evaluated (n=80). Age, parity, staging, histological grade, histological type, hemoglobin, red blood cells, hematocrit, neutrophil, lymphocyte and platelet counts, red blood cell distribution width, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-lymphocyte ratio, fasting glucose levels, overall survival, and disease-free survival were evaluated.
