Background
We evaluated the prognostic potential of the combination of platelet count and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (COP‐NLR) in patients with advanced head and neck cancer.
Methods
We proposed a modified COP‐NLR scoring system defined as follows: score 0 (platelet count level <300 × 109/L and NLR <3); score 1 (platelet count level ≥300 × 109/L and NLR <3); and score 2 (NLR ≥3). We...
BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the prognostic potential of the modified Glasgow prognostic score (mGPS), known to reflect the degree of tumor‐associated inflammation and cancer cachexia, in patients with advanced head and neck cancer.
MethodsPatients with advanced head and neck cancer treated at the University of Tsukuba Hospital between January 2002 and December 2011 were retrospectively...
