Main Article Content

Abstract

Introduction: The neutrophile to lymphocyte ratio based on complete blood cell count results pretreatment can be a potential biomarker to support clinicians in the prognosis of patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Objectives: Prognostic role of pretreatment neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study with longitudinal follow-up on 169 patients confirmed non-small cell lung cancer at all stages and treated at the Oncology Center at Cho Ray Hospital from October 2022 to September 2023. Results: Patients in the group with NRL≥2.71 had a lower progression-free survival time than patients in the NLR<2.71 group: 9.1 months versus 10.3 months (p<0.001). In multivariate analyses, the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio was an independent prognostic factor for progression-free survival in non-small cell lung cancer patients. Conclusions: NLR pretreatment as a potential biomarker for follow-up and prognostic in patients with non-small cell lung cancer
