Özet

Background The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a strong predictor of mortality in patients with cancer. Similarly, a study in a large series has shown that the newly defined derived NLR (dNLR; neutrophil/leukocyte-lymphocyte ratio) also has prognostic value. The present study retrospectively evaluates the prognostic significance of NLR and dNLR in breast cancer.
