Prognostic value of pro-inflammatory markers at the preoperative stage in Algerian women with breast cancer

Abstract

Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), and systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) are widely used to assess patient’s outcome in many types of neoplasms including breast cancer. The aim of this study was to select the best parameter with a high prognostic value by defining the optimal cutoff value for each parameter in patients undergoing mastectomy.
