Higher baseline platelet and preoperative platelets to lymphocytes ratio was associated with a higher incidence of axillary node pathologic complete response after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in HER2-low breast cancer: a retrospective cohort study
The forest map for predicting axillary pCR incorporates four variables, including ER, pathology type, platelet, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR). In patients treated with NAC, a higher baseline platelet and a higher preoperative PLR was associated with a higher incidence of axillary pCR.
