Abstract

Objective: Like in many types of cancer, predicting the course of the illness at the moment of diagnosis has an important place in determining the treatment strategy. Recently, there have been a great number of studies which indicate that there may be a relationship between total blood count parameters and cancers in terms of prognosis. In our study, we assessed the relationship between survival and the patients' neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), thrombocyte-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and red blood distribution width (RDW) values at the moment of diagnosis.
