Özet
This multicenter study assessed the prognostic value of the neutrophile-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), a biomarker of systemic inflammation, for overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) after first-line chemotherapy (CT) in 280 metastatic urothelial cancer patients. High pre-CT NLR was an independent predictor of reduced of OS (hazard ratio=1.36; P<.0001), highlighting the importance of an inflammatory cancer-related microenvironment.
