Prognostic impact of the combination of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and Glasgow prognostic score in colorectal cancer: a retrospective cohort study

Purpose Although neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), monocyte count, and Glasgow prognostic score (GPS) are well-known prognostic markers in cancer, their prognostic importance is still controversial. We evaluated the prognostic value of NLR, PLR, monocyte count, and GPS in colorectal cancer (CRC).
