Prediction and Prognostication of Peripheral Blood Biomarkers in Head and Neck Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma
This is the first study to evaluate the prognostic value of PBBMs in cHNSCC. Preoperative PBBMs correlated with tumor size and nodal burden, while high CCI and low postoperative NLRs negatively predicted survival. Further prospective research is needed for validation.
