TLDR
Overall, high pretreatment blood NLR could be an adverse prognostic indicator for advanced tumor and large-scale prospective studies investigating its survival outcomes in specific cancer type are strongly advocated.

The clinical implication of dynamic neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and D-dimer in COVID-19: A retrospective study in Suzhou China.

TL;DR: The common COVID-19 abnormal hematological indexes on admission included hyperfibrinogenemia, lymphopenia, the elevation of D-dimer, and leuk Openia, which were significantly different between the mild/moderate and severe CO VID-19 groups.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and cancer prognosis: an umbrella review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses of observational studies

TL;DR: Although the NLR and TAN hold clinical promise in their association with poor cancer prognosis, further research is required to provide robust evidence, assess causality and test clinical utility.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biomarkers for immune checkpoint inhibition in non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)

TL;DR: The authors review the biomarker PD‐L1 as well as other emerging and investigational tissue‐based and serum‐based markers that have potential to better predict responders to immunotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Systemic immune-inflammation index, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio can predict clinical outcomes in patients with metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer treated with nivolumab.

TL;DR: Hematologic parameter such as systemic immune‐inflammation index (SII), neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet‐to-lymphocytes ratio (PLR) is associated with nivolumab efficacy in advanced non‐small‐cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Journal ArticleDOI

Exploring the prognostic value of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in cancer

TL;DR: NLR may have greater prognostic value in patients with certain demographic and clinical features, after further characterization of populations in which NLR has maximum prognostic potential and the identification of meaningful thresholds for risk stratification.

Tumour-infiltrating inflammation and prognosis in colorectal cancer: systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: Overall, high generalised tumour inflammatory infiltrate could be a good prognostic marker for CRC, however, significant heterogeneity and an insufficient number of studies underscore the need for further prospective studies on subsets of T lymphocytes to increase the robustness of the analyses.

Inhibition of human cytotoxic T lymphocyte activity in vitro by autologous peripheral blood granulocytes.

TL;DR: Peripheral blood granulocyte from normal healthy donors were found to reproducibly inhibit the cytolytic effector function of specifically sensitized cytotoxic T lymphocytes in vitro when co-incubated with these effector cells and target cells in 8 hr 51Cr release assays, suggesting that circulating granulocytes may have the potential for in vivo regulation of these cytot toxic effectors.

Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as an indicator of poor prognosis in stage IV non-small cell lung cancer

TL;DR: Elevated NLR is a predictor of shorter survival in patients with advanced NSCLC and the variation of NLR during the first cycle of treatment predicts survival, and it is found that patients with undifferentiated carcinoma and patients with NLR ≥5 had a worse survival.

Elevated neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio predicts survival in advanced pancreatic cancer

TL;DR: Elevated NLR is a predictor of shorter survival in patients with advanced PC, and is identified as an independent prognostic factor for overall survival.

Tumor-associated macrophages exhibit pro- and anti-inflammatory properties by which they impact on pancreatic tumorigenesis.

TL;DR: Overall, these data demonstrate that TAMs exhibit anti‐ as well as proinflammatory properties that equally contribute to EMT induction in PDAC initiation and development.
