The associations between pretreatment neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, sarcopenia and frailty in older patients with head and neck cancer
Increased NLR is frequently observed in older HNC patients, often in combination with low SMI and frailty. There is a significant correlation between NLR and frailty. However, the accuracy of NLR to predict frailty based on GA is limited.
