Elevated Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio in Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Larynx Compared to Benign and Precancerous Laryngeal Lesions

Abstract

To our knowledge, this is the first study investigating NLR in BLL, PLL and LSCC. NLR is an inexpensive, reproducible and widely available blood test, and could be a useful inflammatory marker to differentiate LSCC from BLL and PLL.
