Inflammatory markers as prognostic factors of recurrence in advanced-stage squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.

Conclusions: In patients with head-and-neck scc, a stronger prognostic value is associated with human papillomavirus status than with nlr and many other factors, including bmi and albumin. However, even though few of our patients had high crp, serum crp remained significant despite p16-positive status. PMID: 32669922 [PubMed - in process]
