Cholesterol-to-lymphocyte ratio (CLR)-based nomogram as a prognostic tool in nasopharyngeal carcinoma: a large-scale long-term retrospective study
CLR stands as an independent prognostic factor for NPC patients undergoing CCRT. The CLR-based nomogram (incorporating five independent prognostic factors: age, T stage, N stage, BMI, and CLR) provides a tailored approach to predicting survival, enabling healthcare providers to adjust treatment strategies in accordance with individual risk profiles. Further validation of these findings in external cohorts is necessary, as well as exploration of CLR's clinical utility in directing treatment decisions.
