Blood neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio predicts survival in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma undergoing transarterial chemoembolization.

TLDR
A high NLR independently predicts poor survival in patients with unresectable HCC undergoing transarterial chemoembolization treatment, and an increased NLR indicates a better outcome than a decreased NLR for patients after transarteria chemoEmbolization.

Prognostic Role of Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio in Solid Tumors: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

TL;DR: A high NLR is associated with an adverse OS in many solid tumors, and its addition to established prognostic scores for clinical decision making warrants further investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The systemic inflammation-based neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio: Experience in patients with cancer

TL;DR: The present systematic review examines and comments on the clinical utility of the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, which has shown that NLR is elevated in patients with more advanced or aggressive disease evidenced by increased tumour stage, nodal stage, number of metastatic lesions and as such these patients may represent a particularly high-risk patient population.

Prognostic Role of Platelet to Lymphocyte Ratio in Solid Tumors: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

TL;DR: A high PLR is associated with worse OS in various solid tumors and is a readily available and inexpensive biomarker with independent prognostic value in solid tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio is a predictor of survival after hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma: a retrospective analysis.

TL;DR: NLR is an independent predictor of survival after hepatectomy in patients with HCC and accumulation of tumor-associated macrophages in the tumor is associated with a high NLR.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of the prognostic value of inflammation-based prognostic scores in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

TL;DR: This study demonstrates that the Glasgow Prognostic Score, an inflammation-based prognostic score, is an independent marker of poor prognosis in patients with HCC and is superior to the other inflammation- based prognostic scores in terms of prognostic ability.

Inflammation and cancer: back to Virchow?

TL;DR: A rationale for the use of cytokine and chemokine blockade, and further investigation of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, in the chemoprevention and treatment of malignant diseases is provided.

MMP-9 supplied by bone marrow-derived cells contributes to skin carcinogenesis

TL;DR: The matrix metalloproteinase MMP-9/gelatinase B is upregulated in angiogenic dysplasias and invasive cancers of the epidermis in a mouse model of multi-stage tumorigenesis elicited by HPV16 oncogenes, suggesting inflammatory cells can be coconspirators in carcinogenesis.

Ratio of neutrophil to lymphocyte counts--rapid and simple parameter of systemic inflammation and stress in critically ill.

TL;DR: In the population of 90 ICU oncological patients, rapid serial changes in white blood cell populations are observed, as a response of the immune system to surgical stress, systemic inflammation or sepsis.
