Prognostic significance of complete blood count parameters in castration-resistant prostate cancer patients treated with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors.

CONCLUSION: We found that white blood cell counts and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratios may be prognostic for progression-free survival while red cell distribution widths may be prognostic for OS. In particular, a low Hb level was a robust prognostic factor for poor OS. These findings could be useful in predicting prognosis in CRPC patients treated with ARPIs.
