Neutrophil-and-monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio is positively associated with elevated prostate-specific antigen levels and high-risk prostate cancer: evidence from the NHANES (2003–2008)

This study reveals a significant relationship between NMLR, TPSA levels, and HRPCa odds among U.S. males, suggesting that NMLR could be a valuable biomarker for assessing PCa risk, underscoring inflammation's role in prostate health. Further research is encouraged to explore its applications in early detection, treatment efficacy evaluation and risk stratification.
