Prognostic significance of neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and correlation with PET –CT metabolic parameters in small cell lung cancer (SCLC)

ConclusionThere is relationship between PET –CT metabolic parameters and NLR in SCLC. Highest correlation was found with NLR and MTV, WBMTV, and WBTLG, and evaluation of NLR together with these parameters predicts survival times and tumor biology more clearly in SCLC.
