Effect of Pretreatment Platelet Parameters on Survival in Limited Disease Small Cell Lung Cancer.

CONCLUSION: Our study suggests association of high baseline levels of TPC to improved survival in patients<br />scheduled to undergo CCRT for LD-SCLC. Considering easiness and universal availability of TPC measurement,<br />potential utilization of this biomarker may be promising to predict survival, albeit requiring validation by further<br />well-designated prospective studies.
