Preoperative platelet to lymphocyte and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratios are independent prognostic factors for patients undergoing lung cancer radical surgery: A single institutional cohort study

Abstract

Preoperative PLR and NLR were good prognostic factors for postoperative pulmonary complications and OS in NSCLC patients undergoing radical lung cancer surgery. Thus, blood PLR and NLR would be helpful as a prognostic tool before radical lung cancer surgery.
