Role of increased mean platelet volume (<scp>MPV</scp>) and decreased <scp>MPV</scp>/platelet count ratio as poor prognostic factors in lung cancer

Abstract

Unlike results of previous studies, the study showed that increased MPV was an important prognostic factor in patients with NSCLC. Hence, an increased MPV level may be used as a prognostic biomarker to estimate for poor overall survival in patients with NSCLC.
