A nomogram with the peripheral blood neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio before treatment predicts the survival of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma
In patients with NPC, an elevated pretreatment NLR was associated with poorer OS, PFS, and DMFS. The NLR-based nomogram provided more accurate survival prediction than clinical staging and may serve as a valuable tool in guiding prognosis and treatment planning.
